I know exactlly what texture would fit there like a million bucks. Remember Tachyon:the Fringe? Well, the instalations there use an animated texture, with green arrows flashing towards the center of the pad. It looks really good. If i knew how to extract them, i could get them for you...
Speaking of extracting textures, anyone knows how to extract textures from SW:KOTOR, knights of the old republic? There´s some great ones for the inside of ships...

Try opening its package files with WinZip. I cannot guarantee it would work, I don't even think that game has something to do with the Q3 engine.

I am looking for a texture for you right now ...

Here is the glow texture, may be of some use:

Hmm. That is a nice texture...  I gotta get this game so I can rip textures from it.

I can't rely on KT to rip them all

Pirates have attacked the Talus Mining Facility. Because this installation processes materials critical to our warhead production, control of Talus is of the utmost strategic importance.

EDIT; link breaks, don't know why but it's inserting a BR for GOK why.  See Silent Threat briefings in the Wiki.

As for your second paragraph, I have a good reason (or rather, a combination of reasons) for why pirates will be so prevalent in HFH, and why the Navy never thwacked them. I just don't want to say what it is.

I've got no problem with that. I've got pirates in TMA myself I was just saying that you can easily explain why there aren't any if you want to

@TopAce

Is that texture from Jedi Academy? Looks good!! The KOTOR texture packs can´t be open with Winzip, gotta find another way...

[Kazan]

that's a killer texture

[c914]

Hre is what i do with texsture form TopAce:

anyone know how to save it in dds format:doubt:

[StratComm]

Don't bother; split your pads into four sections and map each corner so that it rotates around.  You'll save texture memory and add texture resolution, with no loss in quality.

[Kazan]

trust the strattcomm.. the strattcomm he is good, the strattcomm he is wise

hehe

I can only see a Red X.

ande he is station with new landing platforms


what you think now?

Make it much larger (a bit over Arcadia size) and give it some good but not over-the-top armament (one LRBGreen, two SGreens, and several AAAfs would be nice) and it would be an awesome military installation, especially with the textures you chose. It looks military, not civilian. A civilian installation would likely be a kind of space hotel, with a nice paintjob and flashy colored lights, and two whole buckets full of dazzle. Sort of Las Vegas in Space. This station is the opposite of such a structure.

[aldo_14]

I think it's perfect for a civvie installation.  I mean, how likely is it that civvies will cruise around the gaff looking for the shiniest installation to visit?  Plus, look at your bog-standard holiday inn tourist destination, or high rise flat - little or no flashy lights atall.  

Yes, you could do a very nice little casino installation with glowmaps (possibly animated), etc.  But not all civvie installations should be like that.

[Mad Bomber]

Right. "Civilian" doesn't just mean "random families out on holiday". The term also encompasses shipping and corporate types.

One of these could easily be a corporate HQ, for some business that found it necessary to base their operations in space, or something.

[Night Hammer]

For some reason it looks like it would be a hospital to me, well thats my opinion for now, I like it:nod:

uh, dude. LRBGs can vaporize corvettes from halfway across the system in one shot.

*remembers that this is the guy who invented the Terran-Shivan Alliance*

Oh... riiight. You have fun, there. Don't hurt yourself.

[Grimloq]

i dunno, personally, i think that model is perfect. absolutely perfect. using the dock thing as a landign pad is quesionable, but at least he aligned it right

plus, the overused grey tile looks much more civillian. i mean, civillian stuff is supposed to look kinda boring and predictable (like civillians ) not all powerful and cool (like military) or awesome (like shivan )

so, i think its great. it DOES look very hospital-like. cant wait to FRED it into something!

[edit] DOH!!! i missed the 2nd and 3rd page uh, id only read the 1st when i posted. sry, ill go read the rest straight away!

[edit#2] ok, read up. i like the second version. much better looks a bit more military now. i would make it a... civillian-based station, but with a strong military presence on it. because those landing pads look like shipping platforms to me...
