This is not necessarily the game because I've seen other people here have taken screenshots of their lovely designs and posted them here; but when I try to do the same my computer for some reason takes a screenshot of the window behind the game window.
I've taken screenshots of other games before the same way (printscrn), no problem. I tried different capture software, but still no go. Its like my pc doesn't recognize the game Window is open.
Could someone please troubleshoot me through this if possible?
I'm addicted to this game, and would love to share some thoughts and designs I have going.
There is a great program called lightshot that can take screenshots for games in full screen mode and more. But if you do have Steam just press F12 like @Slimy said.

If you have the Steam version of the game, you could press F12 to take screenshots through Steam. But I'm not sure how to help you beyond that.

Thanks y'all! F12 worked. I'll be putting up some pics in designs in the next couple days.
Captain, Engineering Corps
Yay! Cant wait to see em.

Sadly F12 doesn't remove the HUD...
Captain, Engineering Corps
Yeah, if you want something without the hud you need to edit it a bit
Captain
if you want to remove the hud then press the number 2

Oh that is pretty cool, now I just have to crop the specs of my ship and place them over it. Thanks for the tip Bigman1103
