Hey guys - Howie here. I thought I'd drop in and say howdy, as well as give some feedback. I'm on my brother's 28.8 modem laptop...sooo yeah. Anyhow Brad - this looks awesome. My only request is if we could make it a bit more modular - number of bays, number of fuel cylinders, etc. That's definately give us more room to run with this when it's in the game. Also - I'm glad you decided to go with this as a larger station/refinery than just a simple fuel stop. What I had in mind for those is something very similar to the fuel stations on the Klrathi system in the last missions of WC3. Very rough, some may be made out of asteroids, some not, but that these things are far more numerous and common than a 350+ meter monstrosity. Probably no more that a few slots for various ships to dock. I really like the post that Vinman made - it's almost, hell is EXACTLY in WC1 style. Simple, and elegant. The only thing I'd switch out the landing strip - I'd go for simple airlocks and couples. (this allows the system to service both fighters and capships. The only thing to remember is that the more these things can be modular, the better. That gives us variety, and that's something we're really gonna need. As for project nicknames, I'd just go with Pio. Simple - all the letters are just up there in the upper right coner of the keyboard. Plus - it doesn't step on any other WC games - which is good.
Anyhow - good to see everyone getting in on this!
