We all know about the "Don't Click Here" one in the station

Have you seen "Roy" in the windows of station 9? Looks to me to be an angled torso and head shot of a guy with a hat, possible a sombrero. This one was confirmed by El Guapo

The basic bots appear to have a small circular insignia on their ventral surface, just behind the cockpit and to the left of center. El Guapo did not recall this one, but...

I'm told there are more. Can you find them?

There's an asteroid in Sector 9 in one of the belts that's called a 'Roid, yo.

There's also a tiny asteroid embedded into a huge asteroid in s5. I think it's s5. It's the one that's connected to s12 and s13. Damn... I haven't played in a while that I've already forgotten the sector numbers.

I can provide screenies, but I'd prefer to post them on somebody else's site. Any takers?

I'll be glad to host any screenies. Mail them to Webmaster@roguelazer.com and I'll host them... I plan on getting some anonymous ftp set up too.

Mr. Moderator:

I finally figured out what you were talking about. It's not an easter egg, it's just a little detail I included. (That's one of the source textures for the underside of the roboship - the one that contains the logo in question.)

Oh yeah,and this.

Where are the detatchable cargo modules? The externally visible weapons? The different engine types? Why doesn't blue have that kewl colour?

Sneak some new concept ship designs in the /misc directory too. Yummy...

/me wants a pizza cutter w/o cagro modules... that'd be cool.

mockup01 through mockup07 were in-progress pics that I made while I was building the current station. I made mockup01-2 after completing only three pieces, sort of a test to see if the whole idea was going to work. I put together mockup03-6 after building a few more pieces (but there was still no docking bay module. :) mockup07-08 were the same as 3-6, but with antennas and stuff to add detail.

I think (I hope!) the station has come a long way since then. :)

test01 and test02 are the new pieces I'm working on. I'll be building new stations with them as soon as we fix all the bugs with the current station.

That would be sweet if you could jettison the cargo modules and increase the agility of the ship 5 fold. Turn it into an uber-fighter. Mwa ha ha ha ha ha.

I'm done.

The "Don't Click Here" thing is under one of the tabs in the station. It is the title of the right side box. I won't say exactly because that's no fun.

I looked for the asteroid within an asteroid in 5....didn't see it. Roughly where is it in the belt?

You sketch like an industrial designer Vlad!

NB: this is a good thing
