December Snapshot

The Battle of Rilor

Space is a cold, dark vacuum that is mostly devoid of anything more than dust. Unfortunately for the TEC, they've encountered space that isn't empty. This harsh reality was reinforced at the Battle of Rilor where two mighty fleets clashed, leaving one victorious and the other nothing but debris.

Its space, and space isnt meant to be colorful   

Nice pic i like the massive scale battle, one question though whats the tall looking ship at the right of the screen? Or is that a space station?

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.

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.
