Post SS2 Screenshots
I know people have been eager to see the progress on SS2, so I've decided to show some progress off and keep everyone updated. I've got a growing screenshot collection and I've decided to share, and take requests! Here are a few today to start off.

Please post with your requests for future screenshots!


First one for today is the Anaconda! Note that it appears a bit pink because there is a sun just off screen.

Rhino!

Rhino looks quite good in my opinion, but the reavers and izer are super flat. Hopefully they're just placeholders.

It might be the camera angle for a couple of them, the only one in those pictures that actually looks too flat ingame, imo, is the reaver (and thats not very fair to it, as the animated half of the ship is currently not displayed).

Normal sized suns should be that big, and the red giants should be 3x bigger, and the gargan one 10x bigger.

Then we're talking epic.

Post Re: SS2 Screenshots
I'm a little turned off by the degree to which environmental effects color things. Ships shouldn't just get washed out to purple or green, or if they must then this should be reserved as a special effect in a place like Bipolar. Perhaps this won't be so prevalent in C2 as a whole and we're just seeing lots of it in the screenshots and videos, but that's my two cents anyway.
