Who else has noticed this on the wiki?

[Clockwork13]

Just now, while I was looking through the planets and moons pages, I noticed something about the gallery. Most of the images are basically bragging about how good they are at the game. Most of them are people's space bases and colonies, and very few are actually pictures of just what the actual planet looks like without a probe or station or space base in the way.

How do you take a picture of a planet's surface without landing there? And if they did a lot of work to get a station on a planet, i say they deserve bragging rights for all the effort and if they built a colony they should get a quadruple high five.

Moved to The Wiki Forum.

Err, I never knew there was a wiki forum...

[vexx32]

Eeyup, there's a forum (or section, if you prefer) for the Spaceport, the Wiki, the Bug Tracker and the Forum itself.

Which (sadly), nobody ever visits, so I think this thread is gonna die after a while. I think the KSP Nwtwork sub-forum shouldn't be divided into more sections. Just add tags like the [suggestion] and [unanswered] ones for every site (spaceport, forum, wiki...).

Not dead yet...

I have. It reminds me a lot of this

It would be a good project to upload better images. But that time would really be spent better on other things. A lot of the parts pages need correcting for updates for example. Function before form and all that.

You can simply frame the shot away from your epik base. If you really want to be discreet you can use an external camera mod and set up the camera pointed away from your vessel. This hase the added benift of giving more control over camera position then you'd get with stock.

The planet pages are for information about the planets, not player achievements. If you want to show off your work the wiki user pages and the forum's mission report section and blog system are at your disposal.
