I'm angry because it's only on facebook and I'm on facebook and so when I log on to facebook, I see it on facebook where it's only at. Grrr!

Oh, wait, they probably know that we're internet geeks and that it'll be shared here if it shows up there, cause word of mouth travels that much faster on the internets. Nevermind!

Except I want more.

Hmmmm.... yeah it exists, but that shading is horrible!  Blocky black badness

 

But I LOVE that effect that it is doing.... getting ready to fire a super weapon perhaps?

They did say it was getting ready to use a super ability, so I think each Titan has one big boom stick.

Come on, give us a fraps of the boomstick blasting the living snickers out of those space hippies.  Is it true the TEC superweapon effect is a giant Chuck Norris fist of fury?

Will formations be addressed?  Got Rank 0, 1, 2 for ships, 3 for structures.  Why not Rank 0, 1, 2, 3 for ships, 4 for structures.  Let the fleet stagger a bit deeper than 3 rows.  Modding-wise, haven't tried to give a ship formationRank 3 yet, but might tonight to see if Dev.exe has conniptions and dies.

Come on guys! That pic is a Dev pic barely in alpha stages probably, of course the colours and effects are not going to be polished!

Im just happy to see the ship outside of renditions.

And you can tell the jpeg is already starting to break down AND its size does nothing for the detail. So don't worry too much.

I call copyright infringement! It looks like Tyber Zann's Aggressor class destroyer.

It actually looks like a part I pulled off a small engine once. See the cooling baffles?

Beyond being both looking like big guns, they look nothing alike.

I'm sure there is at least 15% difference between the two.

This is going to sound weird and I am not 100% sure why but I thought mechanical pencil when I first looked at this titan. Maybe it's the pen clip like structures or the main part which brought to mind the containers which hold extra lead.

It deserves a fitting and terrifying name, one better than the TEC Papermate

You would think this webpage visited by the thosands of very loyal Sins players would get first dib's on new Rebellion info.

But where not all in high school trolling on Facebook.

Stardock do what's cool, not whats right.

 

If I sound cranky its cause I'm old.

Im not sure on the thousands part. We have alot more of these post going: "I wANT __________ iN rEBLLION!!!!" or "MY IDEAS ARE BETTER FOR THE GAME THAN WHAT THE DEVS ARE DOING!?!?!?!?!" and my personal favorite "BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! LOUD NOISES!!!!"

 

I will say the 90% of FB post in "pick your game" Facebook's page is pure whinning/rage/4chan state of mind.

 

On a more serious note.

There are people who play on ICO who dont even know or visit these forums. For better or worse.

Right now, probably better.

Of course, there are vastly more people visiting this page than logging onto ICO, certainly for worse.

I am quite sure the Sins facebook announcements get far more views than most forum posts. They released the picture for getting 4,000 likes after all.

Plus Facebook alerts all the people who like it whereas if no one responds to a thread, it gets buried at the bottom of a list.
