First batch of decent screenshots I've seen from ED, good job Sir!

Great pics, shame about the jagged planets edges though

. I really do need to haul my butt out to some nebulas.

Spectacular series of pictures OP--- R+ for you. ED without a doubt has some of the best visuals I've ever seen a game...so much to see, so little time

Pete · Feb 21, 2015

Thanks - it's amazing to be out there seeing as much as possible of what the game us to offer. And just when you think you've seen almost everything there's a new surprise waiting for you!

Just a couple more for now...

I should reach the Eagle Nebula soon, so that should provide some interesting shots...

First I made a video:

Last nights voyage into searching rares. No I didn't try chancing if I could fly between these 2!

Bah - just turn sideways, loads of room.

The Eagle Nebula is just outstanding...love it!

I took another video there, following on from my previous one.

More Rings of Death in the Eagle Nebula

Now, everyone reading this, go to the Eagle Nebula, go now! It's worth it.

Pete · Mar 5, 2015

I was lucky enough that I loaded in the Beta still in the Eagle Nebula, so I flew around using the debug camera and made a movie, I also took a bunch more screenshots. They’re all pretty similar though I’m afraid because they were all taken in the same area whilst filing the video.

So - more exploration pics - now from 1.2!

Between the stars

Flyby

Invisible ring

The ring actually continues away from the star right off the bottom edge of the picture, but it is so faint as to be almost invisible - I lost a couple of percent of modules and a percent of hull by running into it!

Over a red landscape

Over the rings of Pete's Planet

This is going to be my retirement home! It's an Earth-Like with two pristine metallic rings around it...awesome find.

It is also about 10,000 Ly from Sol...
