But it does have something to do with being outnumbered. This is the culmination of the entire FS2 story where the GTA is so completely outnumbered and outgunned that they destroy entire nodes just to survive! So this screenshot is more subtle than perhaps what most people thought of for the topic. It gives the sense of dread and, in a round about way, it reminds you just how many Saths the Shivans have since they even sacrifice a few to destroy a star.

And just to be clear, this is an in-game screenshot. No post production was done on it at all. I kept the mod pack in case I have to prove it.

Psh, what a Shivan-centric way of thinking. Those Hydrogen and Helium atoms outnumber those Saths 10 trillion billion kajillion:1.

Also, why for did the January contest winner get posted to the Wiki but February and March got the shaft? Scroll to the bottom-ish.

[MatthTheGeek]

Cause people are lazy.

It's a wiki. That means you can also do it.

Unless you're lazy.

Though I don't think I'll be able to top the Sathanas spam, I can at the least throw something in.

I do recall that there was a script or something dedicated to taking screenshots in which camera movement was freed and mission-time was nearly frozen. Does anybody else remember this and/or have it, or am I just imagining things?

Actually, because people go away to work for weeks at a time and the wiki doesn't seem to like the satellite internet conenction out there, and then people go away overseas and have more interesting things to do.

I'll sort it out tonight.

It's faster to just say "lazy".

I'd almost forgotten about doing that.

EDIT : Here's the original thread.

[CommanderDJ]

Mjn, is it me, or is the subspace warp in your pic different from the normal one (other than in colour)? If so, which one are you using?

[mjn.mixael]

It's a special custom effect I whipped up for the shot.

[CommanderDJ]

Can haz?

From that thread, I'm going to submit this pic.



Yeah, I'm trying to win the competition with an 8 year old screenshot.

[mjn.mixael]

It's not exactly useful, ATM. It's just a still texture with transparency pasted on a box ship model. However, Axem also asked for it. So I told him if he figures out a way to place the effect as an 'effect' and not a 'ship' then I'll finish it up, all animated and everything.

It was a good thread. I hear Flight of the Valkyries when I see those screenshots.
