You don't need a real counterpart to see it's faults. The FS1 mainhalls had cool colored lighting, moody shadows, the supposedly metals stuff looked like it was made of metal(the FS2 ones looked all stuff has the TS phong shader applied), things in the distance were slightly blurred(especially in Bastions hangar), there was smoke, sparks and cooler animations like fighters being repaired and shifted around whereas you mostly have that guy driving the lift up and down in the Aqutaines mainhall.
And maybe it's just me, but it looked like they had a contest to find the worst color sheme imaginable for the new mainhalls(green and brown, what the hell were they thinking?). The persons visible looked also better IMO.
To me the Aquitaines mainhall looked like they run out of time during development and just randomly put some lights and shaders to be finished with it. The Vasudan one is better, though I don't like the design at all(especially the colors, they should've sticked to the brown/blue sheme like it was seen on many FS1 vasudans without throwing all that green crap in)

The Vasudan main hall is a travesty. I mean... c'mon. The main tile is the same as the bottom of the Sobek. :ick: They really could have done much better...

It's not a skylight, it's there so the Vasudans can sun themselves. Someone just forgot to tell the guy that designed it he was building a spaceship.

Psamtik. I just have a softspot for Vasudan-ish things.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

The mainhall of the Bastion, the Galatea AND the Aquitaine are the SAME!
Only from a different perspective...
Only the Psamptik has a completely different mainhall...
But my vote also goes to the Bastion... I think...

Well... Now I realize that it could be, that I've seen the Bastion-mainhall...
I just haven't played retail-FS1 for a very long time...

Uh... No? The doors aren't enen in the most remotely same places. They didn't look anything alike, there was no elevator in the ground in the galatea, and they weren't even the same designs.
