Great shots
ANNOUNCEMENT The Great 3.0 Treasure Hunt - Winners!

I feel like you. It's almost like the judge wasn't fully aware of the criteria for the planetary colours competition.
I bet you could find a pre 3.0 screenshot that looked the same as the winner.
For what it's worth I would have voted for your entry as I think it better shows the new planetary colours.
Yeah, the winner is a good photo just not quite planetary color material. And thanks, while I didn't and wouldn't expect mine to win especially because I know it didn't show of the colors but rather just a cool location something that showed of planet colors would have been better. But not going to harp on a bout it. Good thing is people got a chance to share their work and they were all great shots. We have a talented community here.
Yeah I'm a bit surprised at the pic that won the planet segment too. I have tons of beautiful shots of geysers, but I tried to frame my pic so that it highlighted what was new, the improved colors. The winning pic looks like any planet from the past two years, as it doesn't have any coloring at all?
Guess I misunderstood what they were looking for.
Congratulations to all who took part in the competition
I had lots of fun (and rebuys) trying to match the excellent photo from Vasco Sapien, who raised the bar incredibly high in my opinion (and even now I like his photo best).
I actually prefer your similarly themed one from the pics in your spoiler to either the one you entered or Vasco's, it's simply one of the best screenies I've ever seen. Not that I'd want that to be interpreted as any criticism of Vasco's shot, or any of the ones in the competition, there was a very high standard here.
Have to say respect to Placyde for flying a Chieftan out to the Veil nebula for his pic, was worth the effort for the lighting on the ship.
That's the real reward, ain't it? Seeing what everyone was able to pull off within this game. Stunning.
But as for me, I've already entered a new competition. One I am determined to win:
Starring contest with a star! :|
To add to what I wrote above regarding Chris' comments: would have loved to know whether there were any images where he was stunned that was possible in-engine and not photoshoped/ edited in post.
Vasco's shot showed me how wonderfuly detailed these scouts are. Even putting my version in the spoiler felt iffy to me, but I decided to do it as it is a nice shot/place, and deserves to be seen. Putting it in competition would be very unfair, so I did not.
Irony is that the best one for me would be the planetary colours, but I was on a holiday... maybe next time
Last month I have won a fantastic mouse pad, the thing is, in next 10 to 15 years there may be another controller that will render such device as mouse obsolete... so I started to wonder when will I actually get it, as 10 years looks like a lot now, but friend of mine has won naming a planet if I remember correctly in June 2017 during Lavecon, and he is still waiting
(BTW my offer from PM still stands, I am happy to replace all of this for one hint )

Will it likely be this year or after Q4 update?
