Claymore in Terran space, I think it was Neptune, and a Kestrel at full tilt, but I can not remember where.

I'm unguilty, I didn't smoke anything:!: It was just ... well... *cough* *hides the stuff behind his back* ... uhm... it was the daily dose of playing with TC. xD
Next time I'll try to stick with my precious fellow paranid. It has been too long since the last Paranid accomplishment has been gracing the SotW section. :paranid:

What are you talking about, the Paranid were recently the SoTW (courtesy of me :roll:). Granted it's been a month and oddly I haven't sent any contenders for submission since then, which I actually need to do.

Thanks BusMeister, I wanted to do a better one where I could see the curve of the dock arms, but the roof was ivisi-black with no textures so I didn't think it'd look good.

The middles my fav too :)

Was just a spur-of-the-moment shots anyway whilst zooming past my dock

Change of plans: Recent Yaki-incident occupied every single paranid fotographer. There won't be paranid shot for a while...

This is the shot I used for my new signature. I'm quite proud of it, even though it's just a Discoverer on a moon. It took effort to make — I had to find a good background, then very daintily use the viewpoint controls to get it perfectly centered on the moon.

Not sure why the HUD's still showing, I could have sworn I hid it with CTRL-H...

I enjoy taking nice screenshots, so expect more from me in the future.

Nice shot. If you want to clean it up a bit, you could always go to the same sector, find the same camera angle (or close to it) take a screenshot of space, sans hud, and paste bits over the hud in your screenie. Then you can touch up any "seams" that show up. I've done it with a few of my shots, and it seems to work pretty well, even with measly old MS Paint.

[edit] Since I'm posting here, I may as well submit a few shots of my own.

Shift+H should remove the HUD, unless you have a message waiting to be answered.

Here's the new SotW, this time from BeagleRush, taken after he built up his player HQ in Weaver's Tempest. :)

Sorry for the late delivery, but real life was a bit time-devouring the last days, but the next SotW will be delivered in time. ;)

I'm not being completely serious about this entry. While sorting out my documents for my new PC I stumbled over some X-T shots. Strange thing is, they taken 6 years to the day, 30th of November 2003. Nice to know what I was doing on that day :-)

For those who've never seen X-Tension, what you are seeing is a "Unknown Xenon Ship", now known as the J, up against a Colossus. I, the Xenon Slayer was apparently on my tea break and just watched. Colossus wins through a ramming attack.
Come watch me on Twitch where I occasionally play several of the X games
