Ok, i just had this idea, and i wanted to run it down you guys.
What is the biggest sized object FS2 allows in the game?
The reason i´m asking this, is because it would be really awesome to have an entire modeled planet, with a huge instalation around it, making the homeplanet mobile, able to travel through space! (very slowly, of course).
The idea was this:
The shivan planet (death star?) was small, in a planetary scale, and the shivans had sucked it dry of its resources. Plus they were now at hands with an overpopulation problem. Wich is why they would move around, like locusts, feeding off the planets and races they encounter. As soon as one planet´s resources are spent, they move along. Kind of like the aliens in Independence Day, uh?
The thing that gave me the idea was a Dyson sphere. Like in Freelancer. Only not really covering the planet. I suppose it would be like an Arthur C. Clarke creation, a circular station around the planet, with arms going down the axes into the planet surface. And in one side, you would have these HUGE engines, used to thrust the planet forward. It would have a huge shipyard too ( where would they build all those monstrous Sathanas, then?), and a shivan destroyer would look tiny in comparison!
I´m talking at least 32 km in diametre. 64km would be a lot better, but i think that´s pushing it!!
It would have to be a scary ****. Dark and gloomy, that inspires awe. It would have to be made scary, something the punny terrans would tremble at the sight of. Ooooho
Let me know what´s the maximum size an object can have in FS.
Also usefull for other, not so "planetary" stuff.
