Frightening Foes Coming to Your Desktop

Red Baron has put together an imposing desktop image of three fearsome Hakagas face down the camera. Although this is the same Standoff model featured in the recreation of Fleet Action's famous cover, this time the ship manages to look even scarier thanks to careful use of lighting, shadows and posture.

The Standoff model is just too awesome and the Hakaga's shape makes it very intimidating when you see it flying towards you. I'm no artist and did it more or less for my own desktop, but if you have any suggestions regarding angle, lighting or anything, feel free to enlighten me.

Standoff Patch Primes Scoreboard Update

There is another small patch for Standoff. Update 1.30/1.31 performs some behind-the-scenes tweaks to prep the scoreboard for coming additions. Get it from the game's autoupdate mechanism if you want to stay ahead of the game!
