Is the object on the upper right side of screen an exploding planet? Sort of a Phaeton hypothesis kind of thing?

I'm loving the "lost colony" which features a destroyed split capship, looks like a python maybe.

Amazing

Ingame. I took the shot myself and it is 0% modified.

I'm not sure if this has been answered before (I tried a search - no luck), but does that mean we'll have a key in the final game to disable HUD/cockpit display, or were you just running the game engine as a floating camera and not actually in the Skunk?

It'd be great to be able to take some screenshots without it cluttering/blocking portions of the screen. You could switch the HUD off easily enough in X3, but since the cockpit is 3D as opposed to an overlay...

Apologies if anyone's already posted a link to this but there's a different view of the first SOTW

It is a carrier.

Looks like shield drone to me.

Looks to big to be a drone imo, some kind of collection/containment station perhaps?

Now it's clear that this things are big and we are at catwalk near the ceiling - look at lamps on the ceiling - they are quite close to us, but high above (even with perspective) ships. It's quite easy to judge their size using light cone length and comparing it with our proximity to the nearest lamp.

Only thing that bothers me, is that although it's a PC exclusive, the game is dx9 only!!! Not even dx10, let alone dx11! A pitty.

But dx number x dont make the game. Its just what they can use on effects etc. I doub that you see much of difference even dx9-->dx11 if you got thos picture or game done by it.

Cos mostly i can say dx11 does bring new good stuff but its not the game itself

Offcourse dx11 supports better ie. GPU rendering but what i know they might add DX11 support later.

They are releasing it in dx9, but might upgrade later to dx11. That's what they said.

As if waiting for the game wasn´t slow enough.

Now I always want to pass weekend as fast as possible to see another screenshot! And it´s even slower!

Better than Screenshot of the Day... the weeks would probably feel like months then

The Ticonderoga from Starship Troopers has an excellent design.

I would love to fly this kind of ship, or even buy a 1/300 replica

When i saw it as a derelict in X3TC, i thought : Wow ! wtf !! amazing !

but, seeing it's stats, it's a weak destroyer. can't have a place in my fleet.

-------

The BSG based carrier, although having some similarities with Galactica or Pegasus, is more common. The terran Nagoya in X3 has also some similarities. But i admit those armor edges are confusing.

Obviously some designers at Egosoft are inspired by TV shows

unlike CCP, which designs ship completely un-natural.

Easter eggs are always welcome in a game.

That 'burn'(?) looks too symmetric to be a 'natural' thing. Other 'roids appear to have similar-coloured patches, but not really lines. What are they?

If nothing else, Egosoft still knows how to make an epic space backdrop.
