Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
For August we're sharing an image of Amanu Station. It becomes a pretty important location by the end of the campaign, but it has no armaments. Instead it is protected by large flak platforms. Here you can also see a banana Poseidon for scale.

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
In the penultimate mission the HoL finds itself skirmishing with a hostile warship and, at least for the moment, wins the upper hand.

I know what I see and at some point I want to repurpose the same asset as well. I see the sequel is gonna rock as the same way as first chapter does. Hopefully the wait is not gonna take long :].

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
Time for October's screenshot preview. Here we have Thyatira Outpost which is clearly in danger. Thyatira sits near the furthest reaches of Luyten.

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
I see a trio of warships around the Schroedinger, firing somekind of cyan INFA-styled weapons. I can't recognize them. Are they custom-made assets or more kitbashed Solaris stuff?

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
Those weapons are custom made by Kestrellius.

I can't tell you what those weapons are, but I can tell you that the color choice is purposeful and that it means something.

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
We've shown Amanu Station before, but what good is a setting in Freespace if it isn't home to a battle? This comes from one of my favorite missions in BtA2, titled "Vi Et Animo".

Here's a little teaser for December. What do you think is down the spooky tunnel?

Re: Between the Ashes Development Blog
Haven't even played the latest yet, just downloaded it and I always go to the Techroom first.

A Category for Ships and Galaxy Node Map with clickable items that gives you info about the system.   THANK GOD.

Spent hours just reading everything.     

Only gripe so far and maybe this is an FSO thing is I wish there was a way to make the font bigger in the techroom, like a +   - zoom kinda thing but that's just me.   Having a separate window is super helpful but the font is still pretty tiny for me but that's neither here nor there.

There's a Font Size Multiplyer in the Options screen.  So awesome!
