One nice thing to do (though tricky) is to get screenshots / video with the player camera faced right up. This means no cockpit / HUD in the way so you get a nice clean picture.
 
Something I'm wondering, while looking at the Anaconda in particular (because of it's detail and more complex geometry) do the ships self shadow?
I've seen glimpses of ships casting shadows on other ships/asteroids, but do ships cast shadows on themselves?
The Anaconda has a lot of quite elaborate detail - struts and the like - but I haven't been able to tell if there's actual self shadowing.
What do you reckon?

Excellent idea... I must try that! :)

PS : Love that last shot of the Anaconda Bingo! :)

I think with the features of Direct X 11 they can, whether they do or not I'm not sure yet - too busy shooting :p
