You are right. A system wide MF is unrealistic... Redrawing the scenary:
--Instead of a red gigant, it should be placed inside a planetary nebula. (with sensor blocking properties, at least near the station).
--Instead a system-wide minefield, it could be a huge minefield (say 30k in diameter) surrounding the station...
The radiation should increase near (but not at) the station. And the station zone might be a low-radiation safe-area, so you hull dont collapse once you reach the station. (we can say that the station is projecting some kind of force field that prevents the radiation from destroying it, and that the station was abandoned due to force field unstability).
Quote:Third, a simple corridor is very dull and easy (or impossible to pass in anything except for Starflier, because of the size). Maze is more interesting, but, again, it will be very dull to fly slowly and search for the exit in various passages. So maybe a corridor is not worth the effort (it's quite difficult to make such thing).
I was referring to a labyrinth. (sorry my english) It can have 1 (or 2) path that leads to the station, and many others that can be dead ends, very high radiation areas, a way to a strong gravimetric anomaly, a nomad trap, wrecks, etc...
Quote:But what equipment will be sold in the final base? Difficult question...
Some new equipment, like 13k shields, high refire rate codename weps, Some new and wonderful stuff :yahoo:
The star should be a white dwarf, that is what is left after a G2 class star (aka yellow dwarf, our sun) reach the end of it's life.
