Has anyone else had this problem? I use to be able to take pictures of my captains while they are sitting in their chairs, or of my ship with various neat backgrounds. I can't seem to do this any more. The image in paint or Power Point comes up completely black. Any suggestions?
Yeah in-game commands are iffy at best too. ig - taking a screen shot of the ui causes chat box to scroll up so you can only take a pic of the bottom-most part of chat. I suggest using the windows snipping tool (google it) or another 3rd party utility.
The game auto generates proper pictures in its own photo folder. In the games directory. The only draw back: no hud. To bypass the black issue: go into window mode.

Run the game in Windowed Fullscreen mode and you should be able to capture screenshots with Printscreen and then paste them into MSPaint or Paint.net. If you run the game in Fullscreen it just comes out as a black screen unfortunately.
I have always run the game via Steam, and my Steam screencapping works great. I just had to rebind a couple UI keys because I wanted to turn UI off and on quickly.

If you want the interface, use /screenshot_ui
