To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Here's 4 pix of Dione.

Continue to search a decent skyboxe of milkyway ....
think i've found a good base :
now i'll work on colour filters...
Would it be possible to put your skybox up somewhere or, better yet, to integrate it into Pioneer?
No additional colour filter - there are more reddish stars in the galaxy after all and at least it won't be clashing so horribly with the rest of the scene like the current, overbright one does in brown dwarf/M/K class systems.
P.S. I'll probably upload some of my own shots once I can get myself to upload them somewhere.

Many thanks.
<begging mode engaged> Its getting near that time again folks for another ModDB update. If you have any cool screen shots hiding on your hard drives, please post them, pretty please with a 2 MW pulse laser on top! :girlcrazy: <begging mode dis-engaged>
<In Marvin's voice> I have one, but you're really not going to like it. Alright, here it is. It's a picture of Carr Base, voted, at least by me, as the most boring place in the galaxy. This picture was taken with all the graphics set to maximum and running the Scout+ mod. Pathetic, isn't it.

Has that satisfied you? I didn't think it would. Do you want me to stick my head in a bucket of water? I have one ready.

Just for that Marcel, your picture is the download icon picture for this month! :girlcrazy: Also, big thanks also to Tichy, Vuzz, and NicoSensei for their screen shots too. :curtsey:
Does anyone know a good, free host without need for registration where I could upload packed-up bulk quantity of screenies?
City ​​and underground facilities, this is due to the composition of the atmosphere, or high presurres.
I encounter it also sometimes in Genesia
Actually, that's not underground. That's simply landing platform surrounded by deep enough water/other liquid to not allow buildings.
Those are fairly common.
the ability to directly upload photos here would be handy
DraQ,
I see what you mean in the Genesia pics. The station appears to be sunk under the surface, much deeper than it should be in such a flat area. It doesn't look like water, but I haven’t been there. As I recall, there's a lua function that's supposed to keep spaceports on dry land.
In the pic I posted from Scout+ the station appears to be properly set on the surface, and there's no liquid on the surface of the planet. It's a boring, almost featureless world. It does however have a helium atmosphere, so your voice sounds funny. It seems to be the only form of entertainment in the place.
I was thinking that the pseudo-random generator came up with all zeros on this one but now I'm not so sure.
ollobrain,
I upload my pics directly from my computer. The 'More Reply Options' button works for me. If it doesn't for you then you might want to file a bug report.

It's all the same amazing the number of new entrants who know everything better and 0_0.
No more comment,

It's not worth it, believe in what you sing.
How about that:
Ground is usually not specular.
1st: Please stop arguing.
2nd: Sounds like a bug, can you report it on the Issues list?
1 you're not able to tell me what i post here.
2 i don't arg i explain.
3 its on genesia not on pioneer.
4 i'll don't see bug on genesia since a lot of time , maybe you hope , but it's not a bug.
And finaly after reflexion , you're right , i stop to post here like Gernot, anyway all your band know alway the true , take alway the good decision, ( But despite Genesia is a fork from the old alpha30 when i take a look on this one , i see less "bugs" than in your recent master).
not specular under what sort of atmo ?
and what sort of ground ?
sand , lava , schister , mika ? etc , etc
You know that you just need to find a planet with this sort of shiny look on terrain relief or city-less spaceport on uneven ground to prove me wrong, right?
there is 5 spartorts in this planet and she have this uniform aspect everywhere i go .....
Yeah, because it's an ocean world - completely flooded.
I have seen boring and flat planets without any sort of liquid, but ports have normal cities around on those and shots of your planet from space confirm that its surface is covered with one big ocean.
Anyway, I raise you:
Blevins's World, Grephiti (-9, -6, -10) in vanilla Pioneer.
Same sort of tell-tale specular:
Clearly a predominately ocean planet with tiny patches of land...
...but all space ports located at sea (obviously, they feature no additional buildings):
Definitely not mistakeable for land:
Big ocean ? take a look on the data before think you can raise semebody , pathetic ^^
You explain me something with a screen of another planet ...
I tired with alls you , forget me ,Genesia and continue to think you have the true .
( i have a scoop for water in Genesia who work when the ship is landed , and i try it on my robinson planet, none water !!! strange ? isn't)
very very tired with alls theses pseudo specialist who talk for nothing .
( your screens are very nice)

Yeah, a planet that clearly has both lands and oceans clearly distinguishable from one another (which makes arguing whether flat featureless surface is or isn't ocean a bit less pointless) and - this time unambiguously - oceanic spaceports that, surprise, also lack buildings.
( i have a scoop for water in Genesia who work when the ship is landed , and i try it on my robinson planet, none water !!! strange ? isn't)
Is water the only potential volatile liquid? I don't know the details of Pioneer's nor Genesia's planet generation code, but if you plopped down in the middle of one of confirmed lakes on Titan in real life Sol system with a water scoop, you'd be in for one hell of disappointment, and I did notice quite a few liquid bearing worlds that seemed way too cold for water oceans in Pioneer too.
the water scooping on genesia put 1ton per hour in cargo when the planet have water or ice .
Guys, please stop arguing over this ocean/not ocean thing in the screenshots thread. Start a new one if you must, and if you figured out the cause, and it's a bug, then report it on the tracker, but don't derail the thread about screenshots. Even if these images are indeed nice.
Thank you.
BTW, Draq, your screensots are very very nice!! 🙂

Thanks.
I tried to pick such that would be suitable for this thread.

Edit:
Titan, moon of Saturn:
Io, moon of Jupiter:
Binaries are fun:
Oceans and lava:
Realistically most stars are reddish and dim M and K spectral classes (universe's way of telling you that it hates you and wants you to be depressed):
And even redder and dimmer brown dwarves:
so sights like this are rare:
And this kind of sunset even rarer:
I have so far encountered a number of planets and starports named "Gay" - unexpectedly, this isn't one of them*:
Neither is this one**:
Ever popular among blockbuster film directors, multiple systems with spread apart different class stars allow them to skimp on their dramatic lighting budget:
Mutually eclipsing binaries are also cool:
*) No offense meant to anyone.
**) ditto, aside from humorless pricks, that is.
Those screenshots are amazing! the diversity of colors in all of the planet's are really cool.
Yes I agree newts, certainly I would like to include some of them in next months Mod DB update. :girlsmile:
