pretty nice....
like the wall paper too...although it's a little dark on the monitor I looking at it on, but fucking great none the less...
 
Saying something like that, it means that last screen is either the Behemoth or a kitty Dreadnought jumping in.

*Tolwyn voice on* meet the greatest warship ever constructed *Tolwyn voice off*
 
The screenshots get more amazing every time! I can't take it anymore... muST... HAVE... WING... COMMANDER... SAGA...

But is it possible to turn those jump point indicator lines off?

I never liked them in FS and they are very un-Wing-Commanderish. :D
 
Hm, never thought about that, but somehow FLY is right .

Shall we really keep them guys ? I'm not so happy about them too. After all we have
jump bouys, and can make them a escort-target, so they are easy to target and locate.

(good luck finding it in mission3 with all this crossfire going on :) )
 
time for new pictures, eh? ;)

First of all the finished Excalibur :D


Throughout the war, the Kilrathi have always maintained an edge over the Confederation wherever cloaking technology was concerned. The existence of cloaked fighters took years to prove even after the destruction of the TCS Tiger’s Claw and many capital ships and pilots have lost their lives under the guns of the now infamous Strakha stealth fighters. The Confederation has always tried to integrate a cloaking device into its fighters with little success until Special Operations forces captured a fully-functional Strakha fighter. With the successful adaptation of the stealth technology the new F-103 Excalibur will finally allow Confed to close the stealth technology gap.

As the Confederation’s first true stealth fighter, the Excalibur should prove itself able to effectively destroy any fighter in the Kilrathi fleet and was specifically designed to incorporate the best characteristics of Confed’s current ships of the line. Its advanced power plant provides speed, agility, and acceleration that rivals the Arrow, it can enter planet airspace and fight in atmospheric conditions like the Hellcat, and, as with the Longbow bomber, a jump drive will allow for cross-system raids without a need of a capship. In addition, the Excalibur will incorporate a fully functioning Kilrathi-derivative cloaking which will render it undetectable to electronic sensors and the visual eye.

The Excalibur will have more powerful beam weaponry than even the Thunderbolt: four tachyon and two reaper cannons integrated by an auto-tracking system should enable pilots able to destroy even the most armored Kilrathi fighters with a few quick salvos. Complemented by a heavy missile loadout, the Excalibur will become ConFleet’s most dangerous fighter, capable of performing and meeting multiple mission requirements and goals.

The first Excaliburs are currently undergoing testing and the first squadrons will enter service very soon. When they do, the Confederation Space Force will become virtually invincible.

unfortunately you can not see cool impact effects on this pictures ;)

Anyway, I will post pics of the Behemoth once specular maps are done.... it may take a while :( Not because it is difficult, but other things have come up...
