That may be a frame capture issue, although don't take my word for it.

I used these settings when capturing that gameplay:

Rate in frames per second:
Record:10
Play:10

Cursor/Full frame capture ratio: 1

Key Frame: 100 Frames

Video Compressor: Auto Select

With HyperCam version 2 now being free, I thought I play around with its desktop recording abilities and decided to capture Critical Mass gameplay. The battle that unfolded was much more epic than could have been anticipated so I decided to post the video on youtube. I may do more of this in the fut...

I always place my wingmen in positions 6 and 7 with line formation and loose spacing. On attack missions when I am flying a stealth ship, I usually don't even let them near the area of conflict and command them to avoid contact. On defense missions, I hope for the best, but expect the worst.

Thank you. I designed it to be simple and to the point. I may spruce it up graphically at some point, but I like to keep my main focus on the ships. I am really looking forward to seeing your designs become available. The backstory has interested me greatly. I would also love to see more designers m...

Very good point. I can imagine the importance of such a ship to have an omniscient eye on the battlefield as its fighter escort engages the enemy. It would indeed add to the immersive gameplay this amazing little program already offers.

I have used stealth liberally is some of my designs. My first design, the Vashnin has about 11 stealth modules and was responsible for getting my first 200+ mission commander. On attack missions, I usually set my wingmates to circle and then, when I find the enemy, I have them avoid contact. This wa...

Of course, I am interested.

The idea of having a large warship makes me think about a long forgotten, but awesome game I used to play: Tachyon the Fringe. Some of the vest mission on that game were fighting large warships. I remember quite well approaching those monsters strapped in my little fighter, dodging through its aweso...

As reported in another thread, I have made another slightly large update to my site. I didn't want to take away from the overall subject in that thread, so I will further explain the updates in my little corner on this forum here. Three new families have been added. First, the Fire family: This grou...

Very awesome designs Shrike! For the most part, I prefer not to mess with the color scheme of the ships that much. I am too much of a purist in that sense and I also like having my designs switch colors if I ever decide to play as another race. (I don't think I have once, though.) With that being sa...

I would also be interested in the fates of these characters you have developed...but go wherever the muse leads you...

I second that motion. That was an excellent read. I really like your attention to character development. The ending was quite suspenseful, also.

You should post your story on the forum, Kangaroo...I am sure that there are plenty of people here who might be interested in your creative capacity.

These designs are absolutely beautiful!

I think my favorite design is the Broadsword.

I can tell you definitely have a different flying style than I as many of the ships have a higher thrust than turning rate. I found that this ability is quite useful for dodging oriks.

Thanks!! Well...it has been a long time. I have been lurking the forums occasionally, but have been too busy to sit down and post something. In the midst of bagpipe lessons, college studies, and work I have barely had time to breathe...until now. Without further delay, I give to you something that I...
