@Cody
Looking back at your shots, I don't know why, but, I get the feeling that you are more of the 2001: A Space Odyssey - Kubrick kind of style.

1968 - almost half a century! I feel old!
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

In some ways, the novel is better than the movie.

when has a movie ever been better than the book its based on?

This case (Space Odyssey:2001) is a bit more interesting, since the novel was published shortly after the movie and written concurrently with the movie. I see them as a duo, two art pieces that supplement each other.

Outbound from Aenbi, headed for the Ceraso hub...
I had an aegis-botherer on my six, but when we emerged at Riaronus he changed his mind and veered away - didn't even lock-on.
Probabaly wise - a lone Moray up against
Spindrifter wouldn't have stood a chance.

I already see Cody weeping over all the planet screenshots he took,
pondering how would they look with that tweak!

Very nice! Will it be the default setting when 1.86 will be out?
