This could be it... The final assassination to advance me to the rank of Great One. How tough will it be? Sorry Dizeit Sma! Take care with the Q-mine! Image edited for emphasis.

I don't know why it can't take .jpg and .png (tried both lower and upper case extensions, no change), but in the end I did manage to upload a first batch of images converted to .gif. Hope you will enjoy them.

The only thing I can think of would be file size. JPG and PNG are generally bigger than GIF and if the gifs are uploading then it could be that the others are bigger than 1Mb. I'll up the limit to 2Mb. Give it another try.

EDIT: p.s: fixed the link styles too.

The one of Gimli's I uploaded is a .png, and that went through fine.

Gimli? Been down in middle-earth lately, have we?

Yes, recently got a full-HD tv and bought the blu-ray box set of the Lord of the Rings.

No worries mate..

Good luck.. you'll need it.

I militarized Tionisla the other day. Spawned 2 Navy Battlegroups from GalNavy OXP + a renegade frigate + several Thargon warships... just for fun.

After the Navy had mopped up there was this Navy Viper that decided it would be fun to fire on the station. When it got close it turned around and "drunkly" wobbled back out. Then it turned around and did another run on the station. Nobody took any notice of it's antics.

Been messing with Griff's Cobbies...

This one is a hunter. Given it a red re-spray and a lioness on the rear. (Need to increase the size)


This one is a trader with a blueish re-spray. Wouldn't sit still unlike the hunter. I know I can change it's AI to dumb through the debug console but I prefer live action shots. The ship on the back is the USS Constitution.

Yes!! Re the hunter - I reckon a snarling jaguar's head (like the Jaguar Motors badge?) would look better than the lioness.

Ah, "Peg Leg", you should have retreated sooner. Sorry mate. All in good fun. I'm sure your relatives have now put a high price on my head. The revenge squads are often tougher than the mark.

You bet they are.. you won't even see Skaffen-Amtiskaw coming.. to say nothing of its knife-missiles..


Congrats on achieving "Great One" status, btw!

Indeed, but also thought provoking as well. My cloaking device is broken and those knife-missiles have me worried?

A dark system, is Bedixe! I've got the sun and a rock hermit aft of me, I've got two planets, a moon and a 'roid on the bow - but of stars I have only a couple:



Probably the darkest system I've come across yet, though I have seen a few like it. Should there be so few stars?

Perhaps there are interstellar clouds around the system?

I just thought that I would post a screenshot of the second oxp to come out of The GalTech Industries Corporation (Hopefully due for release later this week).

Ya know, when I went to school, the Enterprise was a Constellation class starship. I hope the flashers atop the nacelles are red and green, and not both the same colour? (Green to starboard, red to port.)
