Exclamation Three new high-res screenshots

We have just released three new high-resolution screenshots that show one variant of the first person cockpits of the Tyi, Genide and human space ships you will be able to fly during the game.

Tyi Cockpit - Genide Cockpit - Human Shuttle Cockpit

Enjoy!

Human shuttle cockpit? We get to fly human ships... does that mean we can play as normal human race??

Screenshots look gorgeous, but stop loading halfway for me.

Edit: They are meant to be really wide? Two monitor setup?

The attention to detail looks very nice in all three cockpits, but I have to say the blue of the Genide ship is too strong for me. A little less of it would look better in my opinion (ie mix in some more grey metal etc.)

Did you check the resolution? They are in 2560 x 1024.

Pretty.
My big problem with the cockipt still remains though - none of it is actually functional. We have a cockpit, then we have the HuD laid over the top. Would be nice the instruments actually function rather than just taking up space.

Also, notice the 3D radary thing in the bottom right - don't recall that being in the gameplay trailer. Assumed we would eventually get something like it though.

Finally, the human shuttles glimpsed with what we have had suggestions are colony ships adds to a story possibility: Perhaps the game will open with a bunch of refugees (including the players) from Earth arriving in Sabiador space, fleeing the restorers? Or equally, perhaps the Restorers whack Sabiador and the humans have to flee to either Genide or Tyi space.

Edit: Another thing. Notice the change to KM/H. I'd much prefer nice SI metres/second or some made up unit myself. KM/H numbers just get silly in space.

Wow loving the look - also very sexy to see such a wide resolution! Perhaps hinting that BP might work with triple head 2 go? In which case I may need to buy two new monitors

They look good. I just wish the HUD was integrated into the cockpit.

Yeh I realised a minute later that there was a map in the bottom right corner of the screen, so it must have been the full picture.

To be honest I did not realise you could get resolutions so wide screen. I use 1680 x 1024 and I find that the perfect length to width ratio for most things.

Can I ask again, can we play as human race instead of Genide or Tyi, or is the human shuttle purely for the Beginner Zone/Mission?

Unfortunately I am not able to say anything about the human ships as I would otherwise spoil the story.

If you want to squeeze even more info out of these... Note that the character in the genide and human ships is the same and level 1. The Tyi is a different character and level 3. Note that in the Tyi and Genide screenshots, Prolouge Chapter 2 NPCs are joining the game. In the Human, Prolouge chapter 1 NPC are joining. I'm not sure that any of this tells us anything useful, mind.
