I agree!


Here are a couple shots from when I was out exploring a while ago.





How cool would it be to see rings in the sky from the surface of Earth - day and night?

Thanks, Flip, for this tip on using imgur to host pics. If anyone doesn't already have a good photo editing program, I'd still recommend IrfanView (free) to convert the the BMP to JPG before uploading. Anyway, I tried imgur a few weeks ago and it didn't work quite right. And I see some others are also not getting the clickable link. I played around with the options and came up with these expanded instructions. Notes are under each pic.



This is Flip's original post. When you copy the link from imgur, it is missing the highlighted ".jpg" in the middle of the code. You can just insert this after you paste the code from imgur (or whatever file type extension you uploaded).



Here's the page you get after uploading an image to imgur. You want to use the last option, "Linked BBCode (message boards)". Just r-click to highlight, ctrl+c to copy and then ctrl+v to paste it into your reply (or just use mouse/menu options). I'd also recommend just leaving the "Original" size selected, as the board will resize it to display in your browser. After pasting it into your message, don't forget to edit the code to add the missing image extension type (.jpg or whatever) right before the [img] tag.



If you forget to add the missing image extension to the code, you will get this when you l-click or r-click & open in a new window. At least that's what I'm getting with my operating system and browser settings - your mileage may vary. Of course, you can always preview and test click your images.

Ha ha, I missed that thread. No, I wouldn't mind seeing that looking up at all.

Here are a couple more pics of that world - wherever it is.







PS. Happy Birthday, Flip!

Kids, don't do this:

I I was in the middle of RES farming and had to do some chores and watch the F1 qualifying, so I quit to desktop without jumping out of the RES.

Came back to the game and couldn't see any targets on the scanner or rocks in my path so I boosted. About two seconds later all the stars ahead started to disappear. I hauled back on the stick and pulled full reverse so instead of hitting the asteroid full bore, I managed to just belly-flop into it.

In my time away from the game, the RES had moved into the planet's shadow. None of the rocks were visible.

I was extra-careful landing with just that much hull when I had these beauties to cash in...

Nice one!

But you can't be blamed for leaving in a hurry if it was to watch the quali.
