if you gave it a gold dome, it'd be just like that uber-sinagouge(?) in Jerusalem. It's even got the giant rock in it.

The Dome of the Rock?

It ain't a synagogue, it's a Muslim shrine... supposedly the rock is where Mohammed ascended into heaven. It's also (traditionally?) the site where Abraham nearly sacrificed his son, Issac - the top of Mount Moriah.

I like mine better.



Shoot me.


One of these days I'm actually going to put some effort into a model, then, then you'll see. Mwuahahahaahhah...ha..haha.....ha.........*coughs*

That's the one. Sorry, it's been at least 3 years since I studied Islam.

an0n: You should do that more often.

gonna have the rock blow away as subsystems, right?

Put some effort in, or ask people to shoot me?

Put some effort in, naturally.  You already have plenty of people who wouldn't mind shooting you

No... not unless someone else wants to model in that stuff.

[Taristin]

Hm... can you fly around in it?

Sandwich... damn you. I don't know why... so don't take it personally...

[StratComm]

You know Sandwich, that station looks cool enough, but it still looks like it was build in spite of the asteroid rather than into it.  Having the entire inside hollowed out, for example; one would think that it would have been just as easy to build an entire hull.

[an0n]

With a hull you need to refine metal, mould it, bend it, shape it, fit it and test it. With a roid you just need to hollow it out, make sure it's sturdy and that it's air-tight.

[diamondgeezer]

Don't forget having to paint Jerri Ryan down the side

[an0n]

Bah, Ryan is old hat.

, they're all old-hat. Ryan, Wuhrer, Masterson, Goodrem, Loken. My new obsession is Keira Knightly. A pure angel. A ray of light, blinding all you scum with her perfect beauty.

[Knight Templar]

*goes to see Bend It Like Beckham

[an0n]

Clever boy.

And The Hole and Pirates Of The Caribbean, and some other crappier films.

Sandy: I'll POF it for you, soon as I can get it downloaded and transferred. I'll also model in Boadicea-style asteroid chunks. If you give me some creative license, I can even make a few internal tunnels too.

Theoretically, yes. The only catch I can think of is the clearance between the central column and the tighter sides of the hangar bay - I haven't tested/calculated how big that space is with the installation at any given size.

I already have 3 entrances to the hangar bay, though, and this isn't supposed to be that massive...

[J.F.K.]

Hey, that's really turned into quite a polished product. Kudos.

[Trivial Psychic]

In keeping with the asteroid theme, perhaps something you might consider creating (which should be a sinch) is asteroids converted as beefed up sentries.  You could have asteroids, more like the regular sized, but with higher hitcounts, that have multipe gun emplacements mounted on them, possibly even with beam cannons.  If you want to make 'em even more dangerous, add shields.

Later!

[Exarch]

I *really* like that installation. It's not just good, it's damn near perfect

[Edit] Oh, and TP, take a look Here, might be something like that you're looking for

Thanks!

And by strange coincidence, that thread is what inspired me to do this asteroid platform in the first place. I actually drew up a concept sketch first for this platform, along with another asteroid-based installation... I think I posted the concept up here a while ago... should I find it?
