The concept itself looks absolutely kickarse , but I'm not that sure that I like the spiky bits on top of the storage space module ( if that is what it is, if it isn't , sorry.). It makes it look artificially taller and out of proportion a little bit.
that is cause i can associate the most with zoners or BHGs. - call it picking a n?che.
its a bit like that...
- Doom has done most of the lawful of gallia, so he s set a gallic design and will work on gallic stuff
- AoM has made some unlawful and civilian callic stuff and almost the entire corsair designs ( along with some kusari designs ) - so he ll work on this
- Frozen has made most of the hacker stuff, so he ll have to design more of it.
- Xing has made the coalition things and a few others - but for the coalition he has set a design.
- i have set the designs for the zoners, order and bhg - once started its easier to keep working on that.
no one has really worked much on the houses, cause the houses are mostly vanilla. - besides, i really do not see the necessity to make house stations. - they have stations ( plenty of them ) - so if borderworld stations are replaced by custom parts, - the house stations will become "unique" to houses the core space again. ( or you go the other way round and make custom house stations and leave the borderworld stations generic - but thats more work )
custom stations won t be a player magnet. - you see it ( discover it ) and thats about it. - what really keeps you in a place is the roleplay that is done and that is offered, the pvp that is conducted and offered, and MOSTLY - the interaction that is offered. -
i think Linkus made generic station parts, too. - anyway... maybe someone else simply "likes" to work on house meshes. - i don t really do.
since the zoner guard ID - i don t even fly into the core anymore on my main chars. - i do on my other chars - but i don t care much about the enviroment then, cause they are more the pvp orientated chars.
Yes, Linkus is working on some generic station parts, along with some unlawful stuff. He's making good progress, he bothered me all last night with it.
i ll skin them - and export them as cmp / mat files and give them the most basic turret hardpoints. - after that, i ll upload them so you can hardpoint them with the connection hardpoints. - but that ll still take at least 1 or 2 weeks until they re all skinned.
Ok, 'tis good to see new station models and all, but seriously, get rid of those spires, the only place they would look relevent would be in Gallia (with the whole medieval/renessance thing they have going on).
While the spires look totally out of place and 'wrong' the rest of it looks fantastic, especially the towers themselves and the bio-domes, whcih would look a lot better than the generic 'synth foods' domes.
