Best X3 Screenshots!

[gigabyte]

Great screenshots Mike!

Is that one shot of the Boron craft the 'Skate'?


Bill

That is a Skate Prototype, I am not sure of it looks different then the regular Skate or not, I have not found one for sale yet, but I plan to buy one and compare if I do. I found that onetucked away in the North East Corner of Sanctity of Corruption I think it was.

A little screen saver of the Terran 'Mini' (see the BMW emblem on the front?)

Some recent screenshots in the past 2 days.

Havent been taking screenshots alot lately. But then, I havent been playing much lately either.


Screenshot one looks like a UFO flying over the house on a rainy night, lol..
Screenshot two looks shows a fantastic shot of a nebula covering a planet or moon. I had to grab a snap of that. Really cool looking area in that sector.
Screenshot four looks like the cover of a SciFi book. I caught that planet and solar sunrise and moon in 'almost' perfect alignment. Its funny how you will enter a system from the jump gate and never look behind you. Then, when you go to leave and turn around, there is the MASSIVE blue or tan world right there, filling up the sky, and you never saw it, lol..

Leaving the shipyard in my Skate

Marlin,

That is one really wild looking bird. It has to be the most different of all the craft in the game.

How is it on firepower? Is it considered a corvette or a fighter or heavy fighter?

Awesome looking ship Marlin.

Side note:

Now I can see how all you guys have such great looking screenshots. With my new 23" LCD Widescreen I can now run at a much higher resolution and get the same look..... 1920x1080. I'm still using the GF6800XTreme GPU, but it sure brings out the details much clearer now with this new monitor.

Thanks for the info.

My first shot...

[Lionheart]

wooo hoooooo!


Docking at the main Argon Free Trade Station. I never get tired of looking at those things. Sometimes I try to fly between those huge rotating arms when I accellerate away from them (stations). I have been hit though, lol....


Mason, if you get a chance, go out into space in your ship and stop, aim your craft at the planet and just watch the clouds move. They have shadows on the planet's surface, and the work itself will be turning slightly a different direction. The planet is also bump mapped and has 3D mountain ranges and craters.

If you get as far as finding Earth and the Terran sectors, you have to find Jupiter and check it out. it has stripes of mini hurricanes going in the opposite direction of the planets rotation.. Wild stuff. .

It is either Shft H or Ctrl H to turn off all the HUD symbols.

Don't forget, you can get out of your ship and fly around with your camera. To view the outside without having to actually get out, F2 and 8 2 6 4 on the keypad to move the camera + and - to move the camera closer and further.

Congrats on getting it going.

[harleyman]
