The details on the planets look amazing, but I'm skeptic of how they will look when zoomed in. They are pretty near, but still out of range, it looks.

Backgrounds are awesome, as usual.

Still no lighting improvement (at least from what I can see). Still look bland (like though they're part of the texture) and don't give off a glow still. A real glow would be nice, as opposed to integrating it with the texture. At least, that's the impression I'm getting. The background lighting in the second picture looks like over-bloom at the bottom; not bad.

So just a question about the beta. When its released, is that the "final" for the grafics? since to me it just looks finished


I hope not; I suspect the graphics department is winding down, but I seriously think you guys can still do some more work.

gameplay over graphics.
I prefer to play a smooth 3 bit game rather than a clunky uber-engine game.

I absolutely agree with Schemanticsninja.

While I appreciate eye-candy like everyone else, The Game comes first with eye-candy a distant second. This is a strategy game, after all, so I don´t want to watch a video/slide show, I want to play!

Just my 2 cent

Wow incredible. Loving those Advent ships, I don't think I've seen them very much in any recent screenshots. Now...if this were a video...

I must say the graphics are looking much better, the planets and back grounds were always good from the begining, the ships have been progressively improving.

It would be nice to see some close up shots of the ships.

Loving those Advent ships

I dont think they're advent... they aren't shiny

speaking of which I really cannot tell anymore, its getting incredibally difficult to seperate one race from another
for instance in the first photo, that looks like a bit of EVERY race, and yet doesnt fit into any of them.

I think those are definitely Advent, they don't look "scarab" enough to be Vasari nor industrial enough for the TEC, but they DO have something of a sheen to them and the fore sections of the triangular ships are reminiscent of the "Halcyon carrier" mentioned in their ships section (which still hasn't been updated btw   )

I dont think "sheen" cuts it. they just look more vasari than anything, but the little protruding segments make them look TECish and their general shape looks adventish...

1. on image 2 with the earth like planet, you see some small ships traveling around the planet. Are they traders, or just for show

2. And image 3, its very dark, has that something to do with the sun? like its not as "powerfull" like other suns?

And on the first image, you really can see the diffrence of size by looking at the carrier and its fighters.

3. So just a question about the beta. When its released, is that the "final" for the grafics? since to me it just looks finished

1) Pretty sure those are just frigates in the distance.

2) No, those ships are probably just the dark side of the planet.

3) No, but what people see in the beta will just about be final for what you'll get to see.

to me it seems they can be either vasaari or advent. They have a bluish colour so I want to think of them as advent, but they definetly arent tec. They arent big, squarish, and bulky.
