February 4, 2008 4:30:01 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Ok you space ponies! We've got another incoming ship detected and we're going to need your help.
Can you decode the following phase dectection profile?
You probably don't know the exact name of the ship...but there are screenshots out there that reveal this beauty Good luck!

I've never successfully seen one of these before, but i think I can see the (presumably) Advent doorknob ship in there.

Same here. The tears of pain make it very hard to make anything out by the time my eyes reach the crazy unfocused state that makes the image begin to gain depth.

Don't feel bad guys, this is the 3rd one he's put up and I still have no idea what the other 2 were. I can't see anything in those - just pain.

I have some tips that might help:

1)Look past the screen.
2)try shining a light near the screen and stare at the glare
3)blur your vision a bit (or take off your glasses)
4)get down on all fours, stick out your tongue and beg for gold release in your best Vasari groan.

Yep! Having one try, I'm re-editing this post.

I'm almost certain its the ship in the background of this screeny. You know? The one being blown up!

Cheers.

(Actually and belatedly resizing the 'scrambled image' was the key! D'oh...)

Those things remind me of the dentist office I used to go to as a kid. The pattern on the ceiling would float 6 inches from my nose when I would zone out waiting for the Doc.

Yes WetPhoenix!  That is the same technique for seeing these.

It looks like a fighter, with wings flaring at the back and the tail is upside down (as oppose to a normal plane has a tail the right way up). Maybe an advent cruise as they are also sleek looking

Ok, I'll give you a clue.
The ship is on a screenshot somewhere on this site:

http://media.www.gamestats.com/media/775/775249/imgs_1.html
It isn't necessarily on the first page so you may need to hit next one or more times.
