Research Station Lore!
« on: March 28, 2025, 01:40:24 PM »
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate the new bits of lore that (can?) show up when salvaging an abandoned research station. I haven't (yet) seen any actual game-mechanical consequences... but it makes the place feel a lot more... I'd say 'alive' but that's kindof definitionally opposite, isn't it?

Anyway. Yay for the floating loot boxes having a bit more character. Much appreciated.

Wyvern is 100% correct about the math.

Next stop, a mechanic to put these old stations back into okay as living habs! 

(But yes, full agreement)

Likewise.

I poked around some habitat that was full of smashed statues and ruined luxurious areas, it gave me a real feeling of being there.

Found a messed up one that sounded like a reference to Horatio from the Endless Space series.

Excellent, glad people are enjoying these! I had lots of fun coming up with all the little scenario-sketches for them.

(Haven't played Horatio/Endless Space, so not any kind of intentional reference there.)
