As ship sellers, mostly and maybe planet defense, those 2 can be easily explain why station needed.

[Voyager I]

Having a market hub that doesn't involve climbing out of a gravity well would certainly make sense from a perspective of space-economics, especially since most of our ships probably handle atmospheric flight about as well as the average brick.


They probably wouldn't be useful as a planetary defense platform themselves, since a planet in space could be attacked from any direction and they would thus be trivial to bypass, but they would be necessary as a servicing station for defense fleets full of non-atmospheric ships and would probably also serve as something of a fortified harbor against attacks at stellar operations.

What about star? Can it be changed in realtime?

Yeah. As far as the game is concerned, graphics-wise, a star is just a glowy planet.

[Ravendarke]

Muhahhaha.. Muhahahahahahhahahahahahhaa (that was just Devil's laughter if someone would have problem to recognize it).. great news, thx.

[Psycho Society]

Big update! 9 months in the oven... Where is my economy??

Just kidding, Alex. Looking good. I'm sure all the overhauled gameplay mechanics will blow my mind into itty bitty pieces.

allow modded content to be localized while core stuff - like tooltips, buttons, etc - can't be.

if all this objects will provide chance to handle text inside, localization will be very easy and will be managable inside current mod system, just download localization mod and it will work.

also this will allow automatic localization, some libraries allow to translate code onfly without human interaction.

Actually two or three (or better yet, 4+) stations located in geostationary or just stationary orbits relative to one another would be make observation/deployment platforms given their ability to sit outside distortions of the atmosphere and most of the gravity well.

The star thing means easy binary and trinary systems as far as i can tell.

Glorious.

Come on Alex it's September 9th, where's my birthday present?

Boooo!!!

The OP tech skills are less OP.

Thanks Obama.

Why do i have the feeling ur going to make a transparent texture with black glow as a star?

[Ravendarke]

Something bit different (and I don´t believe black glow will be possible as most likely it will be additive)... but it was about possibility to change stars realtime... Void eating stars, anyone?

[Hyph_K31]

Or perhaps even Pulsars? Unrealistic ones mind, I just want stars that pulse ever so gently.

[Madgamer13]

I want disco ball suns that provide the boogie all night long.  There also needs to be an appropriate soundtrack for such a disco sun.
