SM2 cover question

[Kaunisto]

I was looking at covers in coverbrowser.com and this may actually be first time I've ever seen original Crusade cover anywhere.
I can't find a better pic and what I cant figure out is what's that picture below Doomsday? The one with Snakeir(?) and half moon. What are those frames, is this an actual game pic?

there's a slightly higher res image here:

I believe it's a view of a lumbari out of a window! but i've been playing a lot of swc recently, so i may be wrong

You know - looking at the box scan - I think it's the first time I've noticed that the quote on the back is attributed to Tolwyn.

Anyway, that picture Kaunisto is talking about is looking out the side view in one of the fighters... Likely the moon is just that - one of the background space sprites.

*facepalm* because
1. I googled half internet to find pic instead looking the obvious place
2. couldn't recognize/remember side view

That's from Rapier, isn't it?

 

[Madman]

yeah you're right, it could be a Hhriss

Yup -- it's a Snakeir (pointed forward and towards the nose of your fighter) out the side window of a Rapier.

Now the real trivia question is which mission is that?
