Those ships are awesome...I never made anything that good looking how'd you do that?

How'd you get those glowing decals on the ships, I never seen those either.

Lastly...I've never seen such a cinematic battle near a planet or an asteroid ring...are these all nw features in 1.2???

Those aren't decals, they're the glow from the anti-matter torp launcher. Now, typically, I'm not a fan of such obvious weapons emplacement, but you can't argue with their brute force.

I have being playing with simple ship designs and I thought those looked cool.

Yes I am playing wit 1.12.009 Beta. The new combat system rocks.

On my other thread in the bug forum Link

Codecritter gave the location of the nebula backgrounds.

I think some of the secret is the amount of the Ambient light setting in the Game Options control. I set it dark to about 15, then shadow detail hits the turning ships. More Alien or Bab 5 than Star Trek.

I like slow battles, makes the bob and weave look less weird and I like the new fleet formations of the example mod.

I put those into the base game folder under fleet formations and it seems to work just fine.

Anybody else have any shots of Non-Terran fleets?

Did you stardock guys include the example mod fleet formations in the regular game now? My fleet battles without the mod look better now?
