You cannot remove it, it is deliberately there to let us know that an unofficial trunk build is being used and the actual version of it.

I rather suspected that was the case, a_c.

I've just given the Screenshots page on Smivsonline a major makeover. Lots of nice eye-candy on there for you.

Nice - is the Python/Ico image a repeater - halfway down and final image?

Old codgers have a habit of repeating themselves.

Well spotted! For some reason I'd given the same 'shot two names and included it twice. Silly me

Very nice picture gallery! I don't recognize those planets. (Surely not stock, but not system redux I think either.) Something you are working on? or did I miss that oxp entirely?

I think that they're all System Redux.

EV's right. Captain Kev's System Redux.

Huh, its been a while since I used it, I'll have to give a look.

Better do it soon... I don't think that System Redux works in 1.75.
CaptKev is working on SR2, but I've no idea when it'll be ready.

I was actually using Deep Horizons - System Redux 2, but its a performance hog, and I never saw any of those metropolis looking planets. Hence the question. Ah well.

FYI - 'Deep Horizons - System Redux 2' has been renamed to just 'Deep Horizon - Systems' (abbreviated to DH_Systems). This was done to avoid confusion regarding Capt. Kev's upcoming 'System Redux 2'. His original artwork is present in DH_Systems but for the extra planets, not on any of the main planets.

As for it being a performance hog, what texture pack are you using? Standard or Low-Res?

Standard, I figured my gaming rig could handle it, and it can, but the loading increase is definately noticeable. I.e. warping to a new system definately takes longer then without.

Maybe I should try the lower-end version.

Saw some nice screen shots the other day from the russian site.

sorry I have vanity, I was looking for caduceus images that other people had used in things still;

still nice advert. For a lot of us.

I had an exchange of opinions with an Imperial Courier at the moment I saw a Anaconda leaving the system. Than the IC fired a missile at me. I just waited to see the missile following the anaconda through the wormhole....


I was curious was happened with the missile, so I also dove into the wormhole. Bad choice, the missile was already there and immediately homed in at me! Current running for it....
