Best X3 Screenshots!

Here are a couple of random shots, I really like the Skate Prototype in front of the planet, it looks like a very exotic place, the next is the Skate where I found it abandonded - well OK I helped the pilot just a little he decided to abandon it just as soon as his shields colapsed and I fired a a full volly of 8 PAC's across his bow...lol The ship beside the Skate is the Perigrine I brought along as a distraction should I need to send something into action to draw away intruders while I am making a pickup.

The 3rd is the Wormhole effect in Terran Conflict, you have to activate that in the options menu to see it, but I really think it adds a lot.

The last shot is from X3 Reunion with the full conversion Xtended Mod activated, this is the Terran Jump gates in the Mod, they are way cool and I can't figure out why Ergosoft did not use them in the full release, oh well, gates are gates as long as they get you where you are going right.

Edit, I forgot to post the proper shot of the gates from Xtended the first time, now the descriptions match the shots.
 
Yes...These screenshots look simply cool as heck....

Still can't wait...:kilroy:
 
The Skate reminds me of a space butterfly. What a beautiful craft, unless of course you show up red on my radar :icon_lol:

That is a Skate Prototype, I am not sure of it looks different then the regular Skate or not, I have not found one for sale yet, but I plan to buy one and compare if I do. I found that onetucked away in the North East Corner of Sanctity of Corruption I think it was.
 
Some recent screenshots in the past 2 days.

Havent been taking screenshots alot lately. But then, I havent been playing much lately either.


Screenshot one looks like a UFO flying over the house on a rainy night, lol..
Screenshot two looks shows a fantastic shot of a nebula covering a planet or moon. I had to grab a snap of that. Really cool looking area in that sector.
Screenshot four looks like the cover of a SciFi book. I caught that planet and solar sunrise and moon in 'almost' perfect alignment. Its funny how you will enter a system from the jump gate and never look behind you. Then, when you go to leave and turn around, there is the MASSIVE blue or tan world right there, filling up the sky, and you never saw it, lol..

Leaving the shipyard in my Skate

Marlin,

That is one really wild looking bird. It has to be the most different of all the craft in the game.

How is it on firepower? Is it considered a corvette or a fighter or heavy fighter?


Bill
 
Awesome looking ship Marlin.

Side note:

Now I can see how all you guys have such great looking screenshots. With my new 23" LCD Widescreen I can now run at a much higher resolution and get the same look..... 1920x1080. I'm still using the GF6800XTreme GPU, but it sure brings out the details much clearer now with this new monitor. :d
