May i suggest a custom interaction plugin for the mother fleet?
That's not a bad idea, Uomoz. I'd never considered that really until I started seeing stuff about the custom dialogs after 0.6a was released. I'm not sure what special interactions would really be appropriate though, and I am definitely open to suggestions. One interesting thing might be to somehow get it to behave like a station that will allow you to trade and so forth, but I'm not sure what the effort for something like that would be. I don't think custom interactions are going to be for v1.0, but I'm not closed to the idea down the road.
That thing is crazy cool, and looks absolutely amazing.
Although the shaft and the ring might look a little... TOO slick. Almost a little jarring to look from the top to the bottom, like it's made of two different art styles. It goes from being super clean to super dirty engines and armor.
Ah, well I'm actually glad you noticed that, because it's very intentional. The habitat ring is meant to be the heart of the ship, and it's meant to look a little less ragged than the rest of it. When it comes to the keel (spine) and the engine area, things get a little more hodgepodge. This is to illustrate the staggering age of the ship. According to the lore that I'm still working through, this one ship has been the heart of the Nomad fleet since they left
Nur, and only patched, refitted or jury rigged since then. It's even been completely disabled on multiple occaisons, but never successfully boarded or completely destroyed, sometimes through sheer luck. Eventually, they always get it moving again.
