It was Colonel Mustard, in the Library, with the Revolver!

Or Clooedo, for all you brits.

Ah, I see. I am from a far less noble lineage and a far more pragmatic culture. My fellow citizens and I lack the refined architectural and culinary palate of the residents of your empire (may the suns never set on it). We find a tin can to be more valuable than an heirloom bowl of fine asteroid sil...

This has most likely been suggested before, but here we go. One of the many impressive features of Griff's ships (with shaders) is the lighting. Cabin lights flicker and turn red, while engines sync with the exhaust color and subtly pulsate. Unfortunately, these custom shaders don't work the best wi...

Come the counter-revolution we'll convert them into caviar-carriers! I assume that one of them should be able to transport enough for a decent-sized banquet! I'm a fan of that idea! The craft was designed around two angled-gravity passenger decks (poorly made cross-section below). Probably part of ...

Beautiful shots as always! I am really a fan of that brighter lighting. It brings out the colors and detail and adds a lot to the realistic look.

That might be a possibility … does the station hand out Offender tags to people who shoot Clean ships in the aegis? And if so, do they only do it to the player, or to NPCs as well? Any time anyone, npc or player, shoots at and hits a clean ship within aegis or police range, they are marked as an of...

Perhaps a few different start scenarios that vary in difficulty might be a good way to go, giving an opportunity for different playstyles. Some ideas: Easy: Cobra 1 and 1000cr in a somewhat stable system Normal: Modified Adder and 1000cr in a moderately stable system Hard: Stock Adder with 100cr in ...

So, I got a little distracted and tried to make some new textures for the Commuter, but the UV map I originally made was not exactly easy to work with. Lines were crooked, nothing aligned, everything was a different size- the works. I straightened the UVs and pretty much remade the textures. The res...

Ooh, I like that new paint job! Might be nice to stick some other colors in there alongside the typical Soviet green. I agree, the gloss was way too high. I modified the texture to make the paint flat and put in the numbers you suggested. I also received the intensity of the normal map and corrected...

Thank you! I will definitely try those out and see what works. I guess some slow plasma cannons could be an option... I had no idea that Soviet bus stops were so varied! I imagined they would simply be grey cubes with rusty sheetmetal, but I guess that just because the government was how it was does...

Fantastic as usual! I really like the contrast between the Asp's paint and the station's bare metal.

As I had a little bit of free time, I decided to pick the revamp project up again and begin working on the stations. Nothing is textured yet, but I do have some very early models. Everything went perfectly, with no errors whatsoever. https://i.imgur.com/FqDncjj.png The first I tried was the Astrogul...

It's increasingly obvious that one or other of us is a sockpuppet account, and I've got a horrible feeling that it might be me …

The new planet textures and city lights are fantastic! I saw it mentioned before, but in my opinion the simplest, clearest way for them to reflect tech level is to shift from dim fire-reddish at low TLs to incandescent-yellow at the middle and LED bluish-white at high TLs. The other suggestions abou...

Progress.
