Looks epic.

Thanks guys, the artists and graphics/shaders programmers appreciate the comments. We'll continue to improve the graphics until the game is released

beauty and brains wrapped up into a single system.

From what I can see, you guys have done good on those textures. They have a nice metallic sheen and the textures give it a good feel.

Still, I think the lighting is a bit bland, but that may be the angle of the screenshot. Can't see much of the shadows or light maps; I am looking at the station at the right and the lights don't seem to be lights (they don't give off a glow), if you get my drift. Same for the lights on the ship near the bottom.

It would be nice to have the fires glow a warm red-orange too.

Keep up the good work, you're slowly convincing me.

I'm not sure I want you to... I want the game to run on my crappy comp...

Holy mother of the Beard!

That screenshot ... awesome ... and ... euhm, awesome!

Did I say it was awesome?

...

Awesome!

Awesome, I really like the way the graphics have come along, HA! Eat humble pie those who said the graphics were sub par.

wow, shiny.
I like the metal glinty thingies.
What Inert means is that lightsources do shine, but don't iluminate. ie, the fire doesn't light up the hull around it.

Im betaring Supreme commander atm and I can say the graphics on sins is more detailed.

This is a most excellent screenshot....

another nice thing that could possibly be nice....glow through the smoke.

im noticing those fires on those ships are creating quite a bit of smoke and i think it would pry be interesting to maybe have like some glowing from fires and thrusters and weapons fire and the like glowing as it goes through the smoke not a big deal though...just i think would just add to the immersion. i can totally understand though if you never include that for the fact it would eat system resources quite a bit i would think just for a lil visual pleasure

Ooh...I've just noticed...I've never seen those ships that the TEC are using before! They're definitely not the ones listing in the "Races" section...ooooohhh tell us tell us!!!

are any of the ships in the races section?
that hasnt been updated for AGES!
*whine repeatedly*

I suppose in some ways the lack of updates outside news bulletins is a good sign, *hopefully* the attention is being diverted towards the game.

we can hope........ i am sooo excited for the beta , lol.....
