Completely agree with you there. The lighter one looks.. a bit too light. Maybe inbetween both of them would be perfect for me

I'm going to have to voice my opinion about this one: I think that there are a lot better screens of a space walk around. This one has nothing going on, and most people who haven't read this thread won't know what or where it actually is. Just my opinion, no offence BugMeister.

Edit: This was the 'Screenshot Of The Day'.
Edit2: I Sincerely apologise for the Double Post.

wow, fishluvr -

- those colours look great..!

- especially on the planet in No2
- gotta say me fave's No 1, though.. you've caught a real sense of movement with that angle on the ship.. lots of atmosphere!
- where's No4 taken.. is that an in-game vid??

@player - where is that complex in No1 - that looks like an interesting place..??

fishluvr · Post by **fishluvr** » Mon, 19. Jun 06, 00:27

#4 was in-game vid... Lots of good shots to be had, if you're ready for them.

The plot is actually pretty good for getting screenies!

- love the engine glow in that first one, Mubata..

..X3 sure is a pretty game!!

I really hope some of you actually own a good fleet involving cap ships and more than 20 fighters. if so can you stage them up for a beauty shot of flying through a sector together.

jlehtone · Post by **jlehtone** » Mon, 19. Jun 06, 15:34

Do you have a clear sector with light background to suggest? Fighters look quite tiny behind a Phoenix.

Ok this is without a doubt the most gorgeous shot i have taken so far

(EDIT: I made the mistake of flying into the system. It tooks a full minute to load, there is easily 200+ ships heading to and away from my complex.)
P.S can we get this topic stickied? i had to search back a few pages to find it.

Not bad, but I have to say I think would've looked better without the HUD(just my opinion though). Closer to the cap ships, and all 'facing' the same way... it would be perfect. But I presume getting them all to face the same way would be an almighty pain in the ass. Good none the less.

@ nick the bubble, This topic should enlighten you... http://forum2.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=131684

Edit: I better post a screenshot... this is a screenshot thread...

You need to find yourself an TGA viewer/editor (so you can save them as jpg. I use PC Image Editor, its free program i downloaded off the internet
