Vuzz? Can I ask what build of Pioneer you are using? Looking at the Saturn picture seems to indicate an older build unless you changed the seed value for Saturn?

How about what's possibly the galaxy's biggest sunspot?[attachment=1202:sunspot00.jpg][attachment=1203:sunspot02.jpg][attachment=1204:sunspot03.jpg]

Uh oh, that star looks unwell Glad I dont stay there! However, thats a great shot of the starport, it's in!

[attachment=1211:Grant's_Misery.jpg]Does this place look vaguely obscene to you, or is it just me?Here's another one from the same system. I don't know why it's called Wooten Colony. There's no port here, but it looks like it would cringe if you touched it.[attachment=1212:Wooten_Colony.jpg]

that's all beautiful you don't have to go far to see a cute landscape...[hsimg]https://bwfarq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1prGWN3lFx18wpVj5A6MJ8db1ytp8ytO9O9VyLrE6ZyX9rzU-NPb01s9BZyZ3Fk6aVXtFY_jxbI2SnF6_zlcyNjWU5WD4MVNGq/newhope1.jpg[/hsimg]

Great shots again folks! Gernot & Marcel's shots are on deck! 8-)Thought I would also point out that these screen shots are certainly helping to increase the hits on Mod DB, since the upload of Alpha 22, visits haven't been as high since the page was first created, I am most pleased. Many, many thanks people!

This shows the collaborative nature of Pioneer, I think.[attachment=1215:Hicks Base.jpg]Anyone want to go for a swim? Last one in...[attachment=1216:Walls_Colony01.jpg]...will probably be the only one to survive!

Ah, at last! The pads! Are these finally going into Alpha 23? I will put it up anyway, but if they are in Alpha 23 I would like to save that shot as the icon for the download itself <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />As for the spikes, I ran into (literally <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//shok.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':O' /> ) them before on other worlds, odd things they are too, sometimes they are there, then when you go back, there gone <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_confused.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':?' />

Sorry Geraldine but they're not quite finished yet. I'm going to have a go at them today. As far as I know, Gernot's buildings wont be in alpha 23 either. I was just showing pictures of my travels.

Thats ok Marcel <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Do you have a latest version that people can try? Its ok to post stuff on Mod DB that is not in the Alphas as long as I have links so that people can try it out <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

At the moment the latest version for people to try is here.[url]http://www.spacesimcentral.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=2936&start=440[/url] pads look the same. I've just been culling unseen polygons to make it more efficient. I've made quite a bit of progress today, so if you want to wait a bit it should be finished (except for those lights you wanted) in a day or two. I see that Gernot put similar lights on his version of the big_crappy_spacestation, so I'll try to steal *ahem* learn from them. My big_crappy is under construction (aka a mess) right now, but I've gotten the lights outside the door of the Coriolis station to change color with the docking state in the same manner as the pads. I'll be able to put up an alpha 22 mod version but I don't know if it'll be compatible with alpha 23. I'm back to dial-up for the next few days making download of daily builds, if not impossible, at least highly improbable. As an example my connection just now was lost as I was typing this.

Thats ok Marcel, I will wait, and your doing the lights!! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//shok.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':O' /> <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_cool.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8-)' /> <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_cool.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8-)' /> <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_cool.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8-)' /> . If, by any chance, you do get them added to Alpha 23, please let me know because I really want them for the download icon. That how much I like them! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Ok, back again folks and looking for some more cool Alpha 24 screenies for ModDB. Anyone got some hiding away on their hard drives they would be willing to share?

I did these quick ones today on using Alpha 24 but on my laptop...

Nice Metamartian! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_cool.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8-)' /> They are all good! But I need to pick one, mmmmmmmmmm. Ok, the hyperspace one, there are no shots of hyperspace on ModDB and that's a great one. Many thanks!Edit: Metamartian's pic is on deck!

Cheers, unfortunately my laptop is old and can only utilize the legacy renderer but now that i have finished fannying about with ships for a while and marcel is sorting out the ground and space stations (I hope, wink wink) then I can finally spend some time playing the game. I'll try and get some more shots from around the universe on my travels. Then I should put some more effort into my TouchDown profile to get it more useable for pioneer <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

I've also linked your very helpful compatible ships list thread for Alpha 24 on Mod DB. That should help out folks wanting to try more of the models <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//wink3.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' />Good work Metamartian! <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//sun_bespectacled.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':sungum:' />

The spacestations without the random adverts and the ground stations work in alpha 24. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//icon_e_smile.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />I just tested potsmoke's version of the big crappy station from alpha 22 and it works too. You also must have his buildings installed for it to work because it shares a model with them. It doesn't replace the other big crappy, it just gives us more varied places to visit. I suspect his ground stations will work too. I'll check it out and see if I can package them up as a mod, but first I want to get all those ships installed so I can use my last alpha 23 save game. I've got a lot of people waiting for their packages to be delivered. <img src="'[url]http://spacesimcentral.com/forum/public/style_emoticons//cool.gif[/url] class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
