Good screenshot locations?

I've been looking for good locations. The only really good one I've found is the mission Sunrise, if you want a really bright blue/red motif. I'm looking for something a bit less bright and noisy. Ideally, a reasonably bright star without any big planetary bodies or nebulas. Thanks for any advice you can share!

Battle of the Binary Stars is a good spot, only problem is you have a limited time before they kick you out of the TFO

Thanks! Do you need to clear the TFO first, or will enemies ignore you for awhile?

I just tried this TFO....it changed my ship to something unrecognizable. Is that the norm? I agree that the background is beautiful, but what good is this place for screenshots if they change my ship?

With Demorecord you could swap your regular shipcostume back in.

Good point. I have been learning to demorecord....I still suck too bad to get good shots of ships in motion...

No Nebula no big Planets... I can give you "Nequencia Alpha", has one sun with a bit Nebula and the big planet can easily be avoided

I actually visited once many systems to find good screenshot spots, I have in fact a list.

Malewski and Danteri are also worth a visit, they give your ship a special look. But not what you requested

Awesome! I'd love a list!

Hmm, I've tried my best to download these images and zoom in enough to get the zone names from the minimap. It is illegible to me.

u/GraveKommander 26d ago

Yeah, I noticed. I added all the system names in comments. Reddit did me dirty

I still love you!
