How long did it take you to re-create the Dark Wheel cover shot A_C? did you have to hang around outside the station until a cobra III tried to dock or are there 'secret developer powers' involved?

Just debug console and a click of the button at the right moment. Funny thing is that I wasn't trying to get the FW cover recreation at that time, was only trying to get as many angles of the CMk3 as possible. This one turned out to have a very particular ambience to it.

Wow, that's amazing

Is there any chance you might have a higher resolution version of that screenshot saved away on your computer? I'd really like to turn it into my wallpaper, but my monitor is at 1680x1050 resolution...

WOW
WOW
and WOW again

I have uploaded a 1680x1050 trimmed horizontally image here (alternative download here), but it is somewhat pixelated due to the lower resolution of the original.

On a different note, I really like how the shaders are generating random paintjobs on the Cobras. It creates a very nice variety and sometimes even funny encounters.
This is a pretty normal Cobra:


And this is a Barbie Cobra:

Thanks for the laugh!!! Next thing is a "Hello Kitty" Python for Hesperus?

Screet, running to hide from the sniper cat

Best make sure to start running zig-zags in open ground, young pup.

Absolutely stunning- Well done guys.
As an aside- is it intended for these to be bundled with 1.73 or as a new oxp for 1.72?

Can you tell I can't wait????

It will be an oxp that you can download and add to Oolite if you wish, A_C was just referring to the bump mapping support which will make its first appearance in Oolite 1.73, but you don't have to wait until then, there's a version of this cobra that works with any version of Oolite from v1.71 and up here:

Probably a bounty hunter who tries to make her victims feel secure until she opens fire
