No I was texturing it at that time so didn't put any pics up.

Here's part of it:

Why EA texturing always remind me of 80's building architecture?
BTW, nice stuff, it captures a cool industrial feeling.

[JR2000Z]

Put engines on that thing and it will look like a Jug.

Umm the Icanus is in there...

Holy...

How big is that thing?

[Goober5000]

Bigger than the Icanus.

Can we get another picture?  I can't make out too much in the one you posted, Woomeister.  It all runs together.

These are older images of the test beta version:

Docks 2-10, exterior destroyer docks:


Main interior:


Habit area:


model is 40km wide (similar size to old Atlantis) and is 3442 polygons.

[GoulMeister]

that is HUGE

What kind of a performance hit does that thing have on your system?

[Jetmech Jr.]

the texturing isn't that good, IMO, but I'm a sucker for really big stations.

[NGTM-1R]

If the texturing were better, my graphics card would probably blow up.

wow:eek2:  thats's BIG ONE
Do alpha one  gona have to destroy it ?

[SadisticSid]

No way, we haven't even decided where we're going to use that yet... and if we do it'll just be a prop or a juicy target for something big!

Well it has to be heavily tiled otherwise it looks terrible closeup, and it won't be seen from too a great a distance.

I had to stick with the EA maps too which don't really work on things this big.

Performance varies. with the planet, station and Icanus (18k polygons total) I get around 30fps. Lowest I got was 15 with the Nemesis, Icanus and several other destroyers in the docks too. You can see some fps counts in the shots.

It most likely will be used since it's better than the current Icanus dock, however there probably won't be missions that use its other features such as the interior or the destroyer docks.

It has no debris like the first one so it won't be blown up

[Jetmech Jr.]

So, what stations do the Shivans possess? Is it still the SI Arachnas, SI Ishana, and SI Hara?

[Woomeister]

That's all they need, you won't be hanging around in Shivan infested territory to find any other stations

[NGTM-1R]

I bet that this thing gets blown away by the Gigas or something...
