Infact, it looked so sweet, the only ship ingame that doesnt feel out of place next to one of these is the raptor :D

Looks great. But, (and this may be in line with the texture problems you're referring too) it looks too bright. Like its completely lit with over-amped ambient lights only.

Everything looks over-amped in sedina b8. See the various Suggestions forum threads about how ugly our ambient lighting is :(. It's something I would like to change..
Apr 22, 2006 Snax_28 link
Well that makes sense, considering I was in B8 and all.

Is it a big deal to fix?
Apr 22, 2006 incarnate link
Well, it's a game-wide sort of thing. If we do away with ambient, it becomes a lot harder to "see", which makes it more difficult for newbies to find their way around. So basically, we need some sort of tradeoff.. some method of making it possible to navigate without using a lot of ambient light. Like more advanced radar, or whatever.

(note, this is discussed a lot more in-depth on the thread(s) on the Suggestions forum, see there for more info and discussion).

I've just discovered the screenshot and the Satupdate™ (and Wooohooo for that) but is there something to do to see the Teradon? or you just see it flying around? ( I'm at work ATM )

John: "On the mac side, we are now 100% universal, as the Updater (which used to require execution in Rosetta, although the game was universal) is now universal."

Make sure you let Apple know so VO can be featured in their "Universal" list.

*snickers*

One of these almost got one of tonight's racers (Blue Streak, I believe).

People reported two in Sedina B-8 tonight, stuck nose-to-nose and not firing at eachother until players went and broke them up.

Speculation was that the turrets have pretty large blind spots.
Apr 23, 2006 zamzx zik link
Yep, that's it exactly.

Though, when they lose most of their turrets, they ram you, it actually killed me that way >.<

A couple of extra pics, for the people who haven't managed to see it yet (I couldn't catch up to it before it jumped out, so they're only side/back pics):

cool looks like a giant raptor.
I hope that in the next cap ship battle we can have a bunch of tridents along with the HAC's. How many turrets does this TPG cappy have?

Yeah, it would really be a big and fun event!

Do these things actually hold anything? I chased one through 3 systems, unloading megaposi on it and only took out about 20% of its hull
