A 5100x3338 pixel image of Shodan, more or less the image on GOG's homepage.
I'm surprised EA didn't publish it, I guess Irrational managed to secure both the rights from the insurance company that held them after Looking Glass shut, but also the parts of the IP that EA owned?

I wonder if they've fully resolved the legal issues System Shock has been in, and if this means we may actually see System Shock 3 in the future? While both Dead Space and Bioshock was intended to be that, I dare to say the way they turned out they may not have satisfied all the System Shock fans out there.

Thanks for letting me know.
I wonder if there would be an easy way to have the animated one as an extra. It's so pretty. :D
