my merc and side kick centaur decided it'd be funny to whoop on a pirate base... only it was taking forever in the merc so i jumped into the centaur ( which i think is a bit pants really ) and finished it off...

you should edit your post and put a thumbnail instead... it bends the reality too much

There's some incredibly nice shots in here, but that's not surprising with X3 looking so great.
Keep them coming please! :)
My boron friends just came back from a planet where the dominant lifeform had no bilateral symmetry, and all I got was this stupid F-Shirt.

Polls closed


so the results are...

first I went and
hired a group of professional poll counters,
ordered pizza,
mad a run for a coffee,
watched Comedy central,
shoveled the snow,
... and without any further stalling

Congrats :wink:


... the reception is in the back,
taking suggestions for next contest

I am thinking to include the same ones, + more
so: ship, sector, combat, station?, scene of some sort / something interesting / dramatic?(like preparing for attack in Boron sector)
maybe an art category this time, devided into categories too

You forgot to clean out the fish tank :P


Felt that was all surprisingly worthwhile,
would like to see many more players joining-in though.
Where are all the budding graphic artists ?

How about sports/art:
synchonised flying, perhaps high planet diving or 5 a-side ship-games.

How far could the art be taken

It definately should include a category "Prettiest complex pics", minimum 15 stations, jugded not by the strainghtness of complex tubes, but by the overall aesthetics. Also the pic should include the whole complex.

Congrats to everyone involved.

I would suggest ship, station, sector, combat, and Photoshopped.

3ds or Gmax rendering, I would suggest lumping that together with Photoshopped, so digital art perhaps?

digital art sounds good...
3 possible categories that come to mind:
photomanupulation / 3d art / 2d art...
...or could all just be one

Yeah. 2d art would be cool, too. These would be paintings, if i understand right?

That's a nice one. Were ships done from scratch or taken from X3?
