The rings are dusty now?!? 
Some of the epic moments I mangaed to capture… even though the images really don’t do it justice, I have to create more videos.
By far the most fun I’ve had playing the game yet 
Some gameplay screenshots! Tried to cherry pick the best ones, but it was hard. Sadly, some of them had the mission targeting prompt that just would not go away, but that can always be cropped out… 
Source video also available here!
Some pyrotechnics:
That was a destroyer. Would it be possible to have the debris spawn in the shape of the ship before exploding?
At the moment explosions spawn in the bounding box of the ship, and each individual explosion of debris has a spherical shape. To achieve that we’d have to spawn debris individually from inside the hull volume. I think it’s do-able, but it involves a bit more work. It’s probably out of scope in the near term. The visual polish phase is now over, from now on we’re going to focus our efforts on shipping the Early access and implementing the remaining gameplay features.
When we’re doing another visual polish phase ( remember: EA is just the beginning, after that we still have to work towards… the full release… in 2020 ), we’ll probablt revisit these effects and improve them further 
Some combat screenshots I took while observing other players in game.
As a comparison, here’s what the same battles looked like in March earlier this year.
We’re going to be updating some of the screenshots on the I:B site, so if anyone has some particularly stunning screenshots from the latest build, please post them here.
High resolution images are awesome as well if you have them 
I try to take shots of things I haven’t seen before.
Military Base on the darker side of sarake. I watched from a distance of ~60km, at ~30km altitude. Quite a few explosions went off on the surface while I sat there.
Then visited the battle up close.
Master Chee in his Destroyer, smiling for the camera.
Each new explosion really lit up the base, breathtaking…
Battle was nearing completion, so a lot of ships aimlessly flying about. Reminded me of our KS trailer with the contrails behind ships.
The monolithic military base’s central module dominates this one, love it 
Built a nice little gallery on imgur, including some ship scale renderings 
Spent some time gathering more footage today. Discovered how to switch to the cockpit-less view for prettier screenshots about halfway through!
Also, trying to follow @InovaeHutchings’ excellent example, I went exploring for something new. Ended up in a sunken, twilight valley - permanently shadowed by the planetary rings. As I soared across the barren green plains to reach the mountains, I rediscovered that feeling of adventure that drew me here in the first place.
Here are some scenes!
Pretty lights:
Poor corvette got shredded by those cruisers…
Those shadows…
The hidden valley.
Unplanned sunday shenanigans, turned into 5 hours of great fun and plenty of great recorded footage for promotional videos.
