Alderaan News Holopics: Submit your Screenshot here!
 

With Star Wars: The Old Republic officially in full swing now, we're going to be starting a weekly article on StarWarsMMO.net in which we feature screenshots taken by you fans titled "Alderaan News Holopics". This is one of the places you can submit a screenshot for use in the article, simply leave a screenshot with a caption or blurb describing the shot and we'll stick it in next week's article. Some quick tips for taking screenshots...

- Hit Alt + Z in the game before you hit Prt Scrn to hide the UI and take a much cleaner shot
- Screenshots taken via the Prt Scrn button on the keyboard are automatically stored in a SWTOR folder in your "My Documents" folder
- You can use the mouse wheel to zoom in all the way and get shots from your characters POV
- Holding the left click on the mouse allows you to freely rotate the camera for different angles
- Explore, explore, explore there is a lot of scenery in the galaxy!

If you need an alternate place to submit your screenshots you either PM me here on LF or e-mail me at mav@starwarsmmo.net I hope you all are having a very Merry Christmas and a festive holiday season.

"Don't gimme no lines and keep your hands to yourself."

This is my scoundrel after a slight disagreement with three lowlifes in the local cantina.

Hoth: Supplying all your freezing cold cave and giant hairy snow monster needs since 4,000 BBY.

Khem Val. "How many times have I told you... augh... to stay away from power couplings!"

Why can't we all get along. Meatbags and Carpets meet in the sun to dance.

Damn, I'm so sexy...

Yup... so damn sexy...



Also... can we really get along?...

The Star Wars universe is a fantastic place, where technology is so advanced that even a mere torso can live a rich and fulfilling life:

I'm thinking some trandoshan ordered special human seat covers for his speeder.

Looks to me like he hasn't mastered the whole "becoming one with the force" routine.

"I have a bad feeling about this"



Act I complete: Time to dance.


Not scruffing looking anymore

Robot: No way that stupid little smuggler and her furball friend will come my way.


Bremiaha: Bowdaar you take this one, I'll set back and watch. Wouldn't want to break a nail on that thing.


524 Credit! The last gift I gave Corso cost more than 524 credits and I hate him.

It's good to be the king.

A suspiciously familiar looking pair...

This doesn't seem to be true for me. My holocam pictures go there however, but they are taken from my char's POV.

[edit]correction, it works, user error on my part[/edit]

It's dumping JPGs in Documents\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Screenshots\ for me. I don't recall having to enable it in the preferences or anything. Maybe check the key bindings page and make sure it hasn't been disabled or assigned to another key.

It works! I was in the habit of holding alt when i hit print screen (this captures the active window only) and that will prevent SWTOR from saving the image. Hitting prntscrn by itself automatically saves the image!

Darek the Bounty Hunter with a final look at Balmorra before finally moving on to Nar Shaddaa...

...and thinks back at all the stupid missions and Imperials he had to endure. Luckily he made some friends on the road.

Darek the patriot. But only for the money.

The saga begins....

Apparently I subscribed to Creature From The Black Lagoon Online. Who knew?

Spoiler Warning: Balmorra spoiler, but I am rather proud of myself for not having to call in Mav or Lynk to get past it.



Darth KillmemoretimesthanIcancount is dead.

A typical day in a Nar Shaddaa Cantina. Never trust a drink they serve in there.

Playind dead, a technique Darek has been mastering these past few weeks.

Things haven't been going too well for Bremiaha, she decides to audition for another job.

Sometimes, even the mightiest of Bounty Hunters has trouble maintaining his grip on a blaster.

This young man does not know what he's getting himself into...

Priss' best side


Whose idea was it to put this thing here?

Severed heads preserved in jars pass for art on Alderaan, apparently. Classy.

The walls of Kaas City, capital of Dromund Kaas, are liberally plastered with these posters. For those not fluent in Aurebesh, it says:

BE ON ALERT

Report suspicious activity to the bureau.

(I gather by bureau they mean Imperial Intelligence)

I'm doing this one by request since Jasra soooooo wanted to see it :p



A Gunslinger named Priss works as a tabletop dancer on Carrick Station to earn some extra credits...




...though she'd make more money in tips if she didn't wave those blasters around at everyone.

Maybe the blasters get her bigger tips (or else).


Bowdaar are you sure this is the thing that has been pooping on the lawn.


Hoth - It even looks cold from space.

Bounty Hunters - we don't need their scum!

Are you sure this is for science?

Ilum is a cold barren rock, but the lack of development makes for some very clear and pretty night skies.

This Jedi is levitating more than just the glasses on the table.

The moment you know your job is killing you.

That shiny light is taunting me! Now where did I pack my ladder?!

Agent Fiora looks upon the mask of Revan

I haven't posted any pics of my character until now, as I'm just getting the hang of screenshots. I don't take good pictures IRL, and I don't think my virtual photography skills are any better. :) But here goes nothing.

So, here is Captain Miqui, Scrapper Scoundrel, deciding to take a day off in Nar Shaddaa.





But then she discovers... the Promenade!



She decides to go for some recreation.



The music is pumpin'....



... and later, her head is thumpin'.

Even Sith Lords need a chance to unwind... :p

Hey get down here so I can kill you.

This is obviously a retro-model of an eco speeder--no working engine, just push it with your feet. Yabba Dabba Doo...!

The best kind of Hutt is a dead one.

This seems like a normal picture at first, showing off an Imp soldier on Hoth. But this is actually a Republic base, and just a few minutes ago, this guy was surrounded by four Republic commandos. Even after defeating their boss, the guy just stands there. Creepy.

Speaking of creepy, this is as good a time as any to introduce Blizz.

Shelkylya's adventures down the path of Revan.

That is the last time I valley park.

I'm not sure that "degraded" sufficiently captures the quality of the experience. Good times.
