It was fun, and could be a good thing to put events inside. It was ruined by Daggoth and he wins unless the devs bring it back!

whats the grinder?

No! is everything there gone? What'd daggoth do?

It's basically a line of Ceres stations (the donut-shaped ones), each spinning EXTREMELY fast in opposite directions. Touching any part of a spinning station is usually instant death.

...although it occasionally causes you to go flying out at 1500 m/s. :-P

dont get mad at daggoth guys, he didnt know what would happen. i was there and it wasnt on purpose, and i only think it should be permanent on one condidition. its should be BIGGER!

The grinder was cool, if it were brought back it could be a right of passage to fly through it.

It's too easy to just turbo straight through it. It should have the same course as the Maze in Sedina G-5. :p

slime gave me an idea. How about making it part of another tube race track? That would be pretty fun in Mick's event ;)

Take THAT! WAAAHH!! [splat]

considering that it makes absolutely no sense from a RP or backstory perspective, I really son't know if it should be a permanent thing...

unless incorporated into a racetrack. Just put it as a straightaway section between to curves, maybe in the station track.

New track! A new track is what we need!

I'm in favor of a lot of random objects in random sectors. There is a lot of space in VO. I like mysterious stuff that has no purpose other than to create an excuse to explore. Random structures could be ancient alien artifacts or old long forgotten abandoned Serco experiments. There should be no explanation. It should be left to the imagination. Structures are easy enough to make (as demonstrated by a1k0n), so why not sprinkle them around in a empty sectors?

insert roid in one end get all sorts refined ore at other end as well as rail pellets

I agree with maq, and FatStrat85.
What spidey said.

But not with me?...
I'm pretty sure maq was just agreeing with what I said, I may be wrong though.

i dont know if u can do this (easily) devs, but would it be possible to take the model for the ceres station and make it bigger/smaller? that would make larger battles possible for more people (or if the pilots are new), and a more intense experience for vets who want a challenge. maybe there could be one sector with a small grinder, one with a normal size, and one that u can use for big events.

How bout arranging three of the ceres stations in a spinning spherical ring formation thing. That would... own.

You know, if you're using autonomous bots like VO does, it makes complete sense to use them to build space stations.

Every so often, things are going to go wrong, just like the Hive bots did.

When things go wrong, you're going to get some extremely strange and enigmatic objects out in strange sectors, that serve no purpose that can be easily seen. Some may be useful. Some may not.
