It would be really cool if you could make it so we can simply hit one key and have a snapshot saved in a dir. It gets a tad cumbersome flying hitting alt-print screen and having to paste the image into paint and then saving it manually.

You may get many more cool screen shots this way.

I use Gadwin Printscreen. It is a freeware utility that takes and saves a pictures to a directory of your choice. You can also choose which key to bind to this action, but I've kept it the Prnt Scrn key.

I recommend Fraps if you would also like to make video but be warned of large file sizes.

Well dummy me read the manual and everything I could find on the game. I am used to games having a built in screen shot feature. Less crap to install to get the same job done.

That would increase the DL size of the game. And would cost Vice (one-man dev) in license fees. All for a petty little addition that most players would never use.

Whats wrong with hotmail or rapidshare or 4shared?

Plus there are programs out there so you don't have to download the full game only a small patch. That alone would save him a ton of money.

Who me? I met someone today. Name was oasis. He scared me and I got a lucky shot off. He was like %#$@#^@.

It was hilarious. I doubt I will be that lucky again.

Wow didn't know that. Kinda cool though.

I look at it this way. I pop in game. Oasis says thanx for telling everyone where you at, I am coming to kill you now.

Yes newb is scared. But I had beginners luck on my side. Heck I thought you was the author of the game if you remember.

Oh well. Its nice to meet the opposite sex in game. There is a few things I wouldn't mind trying like formation etc. Heck maybe even join a clan if I am good enough. Once I re-install my OS i can hopefully get that server operational. Would love to write some quests. And create custom quadrants if possible.

But I fear the last 2 are a month or so away. Server should be no issue since I used to compile my own Lineage ][ java server and run it. God those where the days.
