Those are some of the best shots I think I've ever seen of the game! Nice work!

Yes I agree newts, certainly I would like to include some of them in next months Mod DB update. :girlsmile:

I'd feel honored. Still, they're on tinypic, so I can't guarantee how long they will stay up. I could also pack-up my screenshot archive and put it up somewhere for download if you want to.

I have quite a few more and hope to show at least some in this thread.

Also, thanks, everyone!

Already bagged and tagged DraQ :girlwink:  Its always great to have a new screenshot contributor, putting some of these wonderful images people post here up on ModDB is one of the things I most look forward to with every monthly update. The Mod DB site would look a much poorer place without all of you in this thread helping out, so thanks guys! :curtsey:  In your own way, you are all helping to bring Pioneer to the attention of the greater gaming community and put space sims back where they should be, at the top of the gaming genres. :queen:

I think that will be the last batch for now:

So, how do you like them apples craters?:



Another planet in multicolored multiple system - now with more green:

Fun fact, I didn't have enough thrust for liftoff after landing there and refueling so I had to strip my ship of almost everything and refit in orbit:


Seas, but no water:


Quite barren... for a life-bearing world:



Ever elusive life-bearing world around hot, massive star (not that they should exist unless "ALIENS."):

2-suns-1-moon:


DraQ cannot into parking:

Some atmospheres enhance naturally dramatic lighting even further:



Even airless rockballs get to be pretty sometimes:




If not, they can be helped with low-angle lighting:

Note to myself - more shots of gas giants and their moons:

Typical cockpit shot of typical depressingly lit planet (instruments are still mockups, alas):

One more - neat, if a bit grainy scatter as nearby gas giant occludes local white dwarf:

DraQ, those really are some fantastic screenshots.

I was just playing the other day and was amazed how nice the game is looking. The ships, the cities, the planet rendering, everything.

🙂

Hi Folks!

Just a little reminder that it is getting near ModDB update time again. Already I see lots of lovely screenshots posted since last month and that's wonderful however, if you have anymore hiding in your hard drives, please post em? I will try to use them and (as always) give you full credit of course in the pictures description.

Could spend hours watching those awesome shots.

Keep it up guys.

Yes, those are beautiful to watch, thanks. They faithfully reproduce the exploration atmosphere I like so much in Pioneer.

This is not spectacular but I like it. It's from Scout+.

I am going to be updating ModDB a little early this month (27th) due to "prior things happening elsewhere" that will need my attention, but feel free to post more screen shots and I will update ModDB with them as soon as I can. Thanks again folks! :curtsey:

first, COOL!

i like that "cockpit mockup" draq, it's a great perspective to what could be done.

marcel, great groundstation, did you made it? in general a reasonable looking city on your screenshot.

if it's your station, damned you grew! (out of your shoes)

i view this shot repitively and it's not because of the mushroom.

is that true, do i see ppl inside the station? ahhh, i love ppl's.

good old FFED3D buildings still looking good to, of course.

q, how did the mushroom found a way into a recent pioneer?

the galaxy strip is looking damned good!

(i never liked the idea much, but it looks stunning)

prob. someone should remove the high specularity from the standard groundstation?

Yes, it's a great ground station! It's by NiankoSensei.

I took a mapping mission in Scout+ to one of the moons of Zeta Tucanae i, a gas giant. As I approached, I was surprised that I could barely see it. I had to go into orbit around the planet itself for a closer look. This was taken in the full sunlight of a white star. It's the darkest place I've seen.

The star is interesting too. Quite a bit of spin there.

Saturn from Titan (please put on the sunglusses) 🙂

Two from Mars

These look amazing. I really need to try playing this game properly - I never have done for some reason 🙂

BTW: does anyone know of a (registration free) service allowing for uploading of batches of images?

I have quite a few nice ones, but die a little inside when I think I would have to push them all to tinypic.

Haven't I seen you in Skyrim? (Were my misery too...):

Cant relly envy him (what a dreary place):

Really impressive, DraQ!! 🙂

Indeed! Great work DraQ!  :girlcrazy:  I am sure going to use some of these, however I've hit a snag with the latest build and I am putting the ModDB update on hold until I hear from Robn.

Sweet shots DraQ! Keep em coming.  This is all i have until the mac builds come up again :')
