2:Beryl
3:Crystal

5:Emerald
6:Flourite

Interestingly, this time ST ditched using star names as ship names and went with names of gems or stones. The amount of users online for one day usually totals to around 1000 users on JP Xbox.
This is a breakdown of the average number of users and teams per ship at a random time:

GameCube and XBOX graphics will be the same as those pictures already prove.

Exactly I thought that it was just me, but I can see no obvious differences in P.S.O GameCube and P.S.O X-Box. oh yeah there is one BIG DIFFERENCE !!! X-BOX owners are still waiting to get the game to bad for them :P

it's pretty sad that it's been done since last year but they are all lazy releasing it. If i was buying it on xbox i'd be pretty mad

[RagMasterRappy]

Microsoft purposely delayed the release.

Ignore the last comment..

Yo, what's the diff?

A few dark, blurry screenshots of the title screen and Pioneer 2 aren't enough for you to base statements like "Xbox and GameCube PSO have the same graphics" on. I'd wait to see the actual game before saying anything more.

However, I still wouldn't be surprised if the Xbox and GameCube versions of PSO do look the same. Sega makes wonderful games, but they never seem to optimize them for the consoles that they will be played on. Sega ports to Xbox (and even GameCube) often have longer load times than they should, and take up too much memory space too.

Hah! Rag you are such a graphics pro man... Hey did you know Battlefield 1942 looks exactly the same on a GeForce 2 as it does on an Ati RADEON 9700 Pro? Ya I based my findings on the short cinematic that contains no actual real-time gameplay shots.

[RagMasterRappy]

The game was a direct port, so why would they change anything?
