Screenshots

The universe is vast, beautiful, and deadly. Pilots flying through New Eden may from time to time take a screen capture of something that catches their eye, whether it be a brand new ship or SKIN, your ship in an interstellar fleet, a never-before-seen Keepstar, a unique shipwreck floating in space, or a beautiful planet on fire.

To temporarily turn off the user interface, press CTRL + F9.
