A Philosophical Thought On Elite Dangerous (Earthrise) :)

What attracted me to the original Elite was the promise of space, adventure, and exploring the unknown. The '84 version didn't use our real universe (a C64 type computer didn't have the power) but the sequel, Frontier, did (mind you with very simple graphics). Still, it suddenly became possible to go anywhere you could see in the night sky and see what's there (based on our best guesses at the time). The latest version improves on this, but at the core, I think what draws people like me to a game like this can be summed up in one image.

The reason it's so low res is I had to take it from a distance. Here's the full shot.

I've been told on Facebook there's a 4K screenshot feature available, is that true? I wouldn't mind getting a better version made of this. That was from my 1920 HDTV. :)

Yes, it only works in Solo, because the rendering takes a few seconds, which freezes the game and this would mess up any network. I.e. the game really stops during rendering, so it is save to take 4k shots in critical situation (during docking, close ups of other ships one tails etc)
