    Information On Some SMAC Pictures

    I was wondering around the internet and found this site with some pictures of AC on it. These particular pictures caught my attention. Are these from the early versions or are these in the game somewhere? My only clue is that they are from early versions that were redesigned.

        This is most bizarre. Look down at the lower right hand corner at the map that shows the entire planet. Is that a feauture that shows mosture or rain fall

          Silly newbies.

          These are from prebeta or early beta. If I had to make a bet, I'd say June or July of '98.

            Ah didn't we both say that they were probably early design pictures? I was just interested if anyone had information about the specific items such as features they dropped. It appears that some features were dropped.

              I'm just joking with you. It is just that you didn't even recognize the old unit design system.

              Various features were dropped for a number of reasons Either they weren't useful, too buggy, slowed down the game too much, or just didn't fit in well.

                I agree I think they were early pre-release pics. Also I beleive the tanks you refer to are in actuality crawlers if I had to guess.

                  Personsally, I think they should've kept the old base design for the University...

                    i dunno ogie... the lasers on the front lead me to believe otherwise...

                    i actually like that old unit workshop. plus the old mining platforms from SMAC(they're different in SMAX) are better IMO. in the 018 picture what do you take that thing in the water SW of hawk of chiron to be? a unity pod?

                      Yep, it's a unity pod.

                        Definitely a unity pod. Looks pretty much like the break up pods of unity from the intro movie.

                          I forget why they were changed. There was a very interesting reason for it. It escapes me at the moment though.

                            Those old graphics are really cool, I wonder why they changed them all.
                            Everything changes, but nothing is truly lost.

                              I have posted these same pics about half year ago... and I was wondering the same thing...

                              Shame.. this pre-beta versions look better... or different...
                              I'm not a complete idiot: some parts are still missing.
