Hi,

Yet another amateuristic, poorly thought-out suggestion from me. I've been reading through the back story, and I just don't think that those dinky little UIT stations could house and provide for an entire civilisation. It got me thinking back to Independence War 2, where your starting sector had a huge station built into an asteroid; a massive metropolis in space. Not only do I think this would be really cool, but big stations (or one big UIT station) could also create some interesting tactical situations and create a hub for players to meet. The one niggle I can think of is whether the engine would be able to handle massive space stations like I'm suggesting. Comments?

Thanks,

I take it you have not been to Dau G-11 or Verasi I-5?

ALL the stations are pretty much the same size, I'm with Phaserlight on this one. The sizes just don't add up with the type of numbers of people that were talked about in the backhistory, plus it would be nice to just see some more massive structures in the game. Most stations now seem like fringe outposts at best. There also should be fleets of capital ships patroling (at random in that works better) at more important stations, if nothing else just for the looks, but could also provide more opportunities for missions, or battle zones of open NPC conflict, that if one so wished could contribute to such as a border skirmish.

My impression is that the current stations are intended to be small to medium sized. There are a few nice little station cities scattered about, but in no way is the current structure intened to be the end al of stations. There is apparantly a whole other class of larger station planned for the long run, with a whole other class of larger dock to accomodate larger ships.

And obviously, there are abunch of land bound people living on the planets.

But basically, all these requests involve art content. Art content will be added continually, but don't expect all of it to show up any time soon. I think for any request for art content you can be absolutely sure that the devs have already thought about it and would love to add it.

Patience, grasshopper. Rome wasn't built in a day.

Or something like that.

Im just replying but i agree that there should be bigger stations.In the back story sol 2 was full of dome citys.Plus when itanileft serco it talks about a huge population wich is hard to believe do to the small stations.YAH

Oh, I've been to those sectors plenty of times. I was actually thinking of things along the lines of those stations, only bigger. Thanks for the feedback guys; I was just thinking aloud, really.
