Discovery 3rd Screenshot Contest - submissions, post your screenshot Options

[Igiss]

The Discovery 3rd Screenshot Contest has now officially started.

Main focus of this contest is to showcase new ships, systems and features that Discovery gained since last summer (when previous screenshot contest was completed). Only post screenshots taken when using Discovery mod. Screenshots taken with other mods or without mods will not be accepted.

There will be three nominations this time:
1) Action
2) Ships
3) Scenery

Prizes are yet to be discussed, but we'll probably give out valuable items and money, like it was last time.

Screenshot Contest Rules:
1) Do not post any screenshots as forum attachments. Submit them to external sites, for example:
http://forumsigs.com/
http://imageshack.us/
http://photobucket.com/
Do not submit screenshots to sites that use Flash for displaying images, they won't be accepted. Check if images are displayed in normal format and can be saved locally.
2) Submit of 1024x768, 1280x1024/960, or at least 800x600 format.
3) Screenshots should be high-quality without notable JPEG corruption, and without chat or console messages.
4) Do not post anything offtopic in this thread. Do not post comments not accompanied by your own screenshots. All posts that don't contain screenshots will be deleted.
5) Do not post more than 8 screenshots in one post.

Discussion of the contest goes on here:

No idea if any of these show new ships, since I wasn't around at all for the last one.

Theirs my best screen shots so far.
There are some very good ones in there.

I will post some older screens I had. Planning to make some more screens for the contest soon. (Some of the pictures are altered a bit more, than just filtering the hud, if this will be a problem, I can resubmit them as original pics.)

1st:
3 Viper MK2 formation
- hud, other player names, some crap in the background filtered.
- minor brightness/contrast changes.

I do not think it is the best screen for the contest, because Viper MK2 is an import and would be attractive to BSG fans rather, than FL players...

*****************************

2nd:
GMG (Ant) Miner in Tau 23
- hud filtered.
- moderate brightness/contrast changes.

Nothing to add here, simple screen showcasing a new ship... Maybe too simple.

*****************************

3rd:
IMG Gunboat moored to Freistadt, Omega 7
- hud filtered.
- moderate brightness/contrast changes.

This screen may actually work. The orange-ish nebula casts interesting shadows on the Gunboat, resting moored to the base...

*****************************

4th:
Moravia just killed something in Omicron Alpha.
- hud, death message, loot around the exploding wreck filtered.
- minor brightness/contrast changes.

Not the best screen, there is nothing strong, the eye can focus on when seeing it the first moment. Another problem may be, that I maybe altered too many things there. Though this all, it works perfectly as a background for my desktop, so I felt tempted to submit it.

*****************************

I will bring some more later.
