Why did you make a supermassive station then hide it with fog 30km away? :(

Now I cannot appreciate it's grand scale.. :(

Gay gay.
etc etc..

Relax, this is what it looks like without the fog:

I think you need a Hyper-Plasma Reactor before they let you in.

Nah, you can still get in without the reactor, it's just a heck of a lot harder to find the entrances.

Well, for one thing it's an experiment with "hidden" content, although it's definitely hard to hide something that huge. But aside from that, it's a prototype. I'll be more comfortable showing off the components in regular sectors when all the detail textures and things are in place.

Is there an ETA for that?

Ye'll have grown a beard before it happens sweetheart : ]

Also, for the record, that image only shows part of the station. Around half, in fact. See how there are those long rectangular units are connected to cubic units below? Each cube has another of those big rectangular units connected on the opposite side, they're just out beyond the clipping range so you can't see them. And each of those crowns attached to the rectangular bits is a capship docking-bay that easily dwarfs a trident.

Inc that is a very impressive station and I think maybe you should play with fog and hiding them on the next one perhaps??

Hes just shy kierky - Nect time he might let you leave a light on...

It's also a really slow station. There are no LOD objects for it yet (reduced complexity versions shown only at a distance). So the fog drops the clipping plane to a much shorter distance, and keeps it from crushing the framerates of people on slower hardware. When it has LOD objects and things, that won't be as much of an issue. But LODs are kind of the "final step", and I want to do some tweaking to the main objects before we drop in LODs.

Thanks for thinking of those with slower hardware. Some of us do appreciate it. :)

Wow that thing is huge

That's no moon...

Wow that thing is huge

Yeah, I get that a lot.

I think we're done here.
