Erm... Oookay... I'm going to assume you suggested that there be a way to actually walk around in the station, with character models and everything. Unfortunately, as awesome as this would be, it would mean a gigantic amount of work for the devs (think making two engines at once)...

ROFL!!

I'm finding myself thinking of ways to combine Settlers of Cataan and Starfares of Cataan now...

"My trade ship delivers 3 sheep to the station, and I'll trade three bricks for a wheat, and a sheep, stone, and wheat is a development card."

panik: your idea is a good one and had been suggested before. but realize that this is not a fully-fledged game but a test of a game engine. The eye-candy you describe would be awesome, but the development time is going into the basics of creating a structure.

/me gasps in awe at celebrim for his knowledge of the game he mentioned.
now... do you mean the board version?

/me will buy the 2 sheeps from celebrim for 4 packs of wheed and a can of milk. what do you say celebrim?

Hey panic, just so you know, (and because it sounds like an honest, if hilarious mistake by one whose first language is not english) it's "ship", not "sheep". Sheep are... er...

/me reaches for babelfish

uh... carneiros.

This is a sheep:
