Patch 0.2.7.2 today:
Gotta upload a few grand moments from earlier today 
The carrier really feels like a carrier now.
Length ~2.2km from tip to tip
Some shots to illustrate scale
And this epic moment should have been recorded.
The Carrier is a beast to control when in atmosphere, (not practical to fly in atmo at all imo…)
So Jan came flying in from above, and I didn’t realize what he was flying until he was right on top of me and came out of the dust…

Needs Fluffy - White - Volumetric Clouds. (and dusty orange volumetric dust clouds, and light mist volumetric clouds, and low lying fog volumetric clouds) Clouds to fly through and see them react and wisp around the flight surfaces of your craft. Layers of volumetric clouds making up the outer layers of gas giants. Maybe even dark clouds of dust and stuff (stuff = technical term) in space!

Some love for Gallia, it looks pretty nice close up now that it’s surface resolution has been improved. There are still some issues with the planet in places though, and the shadow distance doesn’t work well. But I got a couple nice ones.
And some Full shots of the current moons.

Those space station shots over Semnoz are quite nice. I’m also liking the night shots of the factories, I should spend some time exploring them.
The Hud free battle shots in atmosphere, contrails across the sky, factory assets in the foreground, set against rethe prime in the distance… love it.

I’m going to require lots of great new Alpha screen shots please on15th June and onwards for a week after, and videos. So I can use them on the various forums to keep the threads top and noticed.
Lots of close up shots like this old but still fav one below from 2015. Close up from behind with great views in the background. I love this screen shot and would like a 2018 up to date version if possible please 
This old WIP screen shot is from around the Kickstarter campaign time (Nov 2015)
And crater cruising like these:
Check out the older but still great screen shots post on the ED forums for examples of some of the best ever shots.

Great screen shots. Will use them over the next few days leading up to 15th.
But this really does need volumetric layered clouds, fog and dust.

All on the TODO list

This first one below is very good indeed. Looks like some fiord in northern Europe or Iceland.

Thanks for those. Especially the combat ones. I always forget to take screenshots while looking at those.

More please.
Maybe also Playbenni video discussing the up coming alpha… or someone discussing the up coming alpha. Someone doing a quick 5-7 min interview with one of the devs about the up coming alpha whilst in-game. Very useful in these days just before going alpha. Gloss it up with Playbenni’s style intro and outro etc so it looks slick with some suitable soundtrack (maybe a recent Scifi Film or stock royalty free Sci-Fi track). Maybe two versions, one 2-3 minute quickie edit and one longer 5-7 min. Very useful in the next few days
Post alpha release and first or second patch top clean things up, maybe the devs ask Bluedrake42 to interview one of you during some co-op play session. Post it on the official youtube channel.
Competing with E3 week is tricky, forums threads get lost with all the other chatter about E3.
I know the devs are busy but a quick email sent out to all the space game editors of all online and (print EU, UK and US, basically where ever your planning servers in regions of the world) magazines and the general editor, would be really good about now. Send enough and some will pick it up hopefully.
Its just a notice of moving to alpha, but it would help keep the games progress on these editors and writers radars. Which can only be a good thing long term for PR when the really important moving to Beta and then release period comes around when maximum exposure will be needed within the budget and time constraints of the busy dev team. These things really need addressing if they haven’t already.
In fact, cultivation of such relationships should already be an ongoing affair.

Can I ask a dumb question or two. Since I don’t have a gaming rig or access to the game, is this old ship below still in the game?
Its just it looks so old and beat up and dirty, it looks great I think, and looks good from this angle just hovering above it (long flat-ish sloping top hull shape. I know you’ve improved the models and textures and rendering, but does it still look like this. This was the reason a lot of people liked these ship models, especially this one and the way it looks from this angle (the close chase angle, and free camera mode). Don’t want to loose that feature of looking beat up, with dirt and grime.
If one gets a new ship, will it look new, or will it already be used in look. Will ships age the more battles you fight and will they feel battle worn and in need of repair. Would this be some sort of persistence to be maybe added in a later DLC or something. I’m a little unclear on this.
