Use as page image

Though this is a nice picture, it is obviously one taken when the impostering system of the game had taken over. I feel like this degrades the quality of the overall image, and doesn't look quite appropriate for the guiding image of the SDV page. --UNSCSILVERSTREAK 20:23, 20 December 2011 (EST)

Not sure what you mean by what you said, but just so you know, this image is of one of the Corvettes that hung in the sky over New Alexandria in the level ONI: Sword Base. It's not nearly as detailed as the Ardent Prayer, but that's just because the player is not supposed to go up and over the whole city and be able to get a screenshot of this model of corvette. Besides, this also showed up in the Halo: The Essential Visual Guide, so it is canon. In my opinion, this is a good image to be put on the article, and can be used as the intro image. --Xamikaze330 20:38, 20 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

"Impostering" is when the game lightly renders a faraway model so that the player can not tell it is less detailed from a distance. This used often during Forge World. Since we already have more detailed images of the model used in Long Night of Solace, using this as the intro image is highly unnecessary. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 00:49, 21 December 2011 (EST)

If you must replace it with another image, then, rather than going with the old image, then might I suggest using this newer image instead? Or if that doesn't meet your liking, I can edit the old image in Photoshop, if you want, simply just say the word and I will do so. --Xamikaze330 01:05, 21 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

Hm, depends. I like the old image with the space background, and some of the images with too much white background hurt my eyes, like here, where I feel it looked nicer with the background. But that's just my opinion. Tuckerscreator^(stalk) 01:23, 21 December 2011 (EST)

Personally, I like images without a background, as in my opinion, the background seems to not focus on the object itself, whereas transparent images focus wholly on the object. But they don't hurt my eyes though. Only if I stare at a computer or TV screen for too long, which I keep regulated. --Xamikaze330 11:07, 21 December 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330
