Cant wait for these updates!

A few more hours and I should be done with this room. I added some space windows on top of the TPers. If you look back at the old pictures, you can see the changes I made. I plan on putting a few longbow ships in the background and stars so it should look neat. I took NP's idea and went for a "global beacon" control center. After looking at it some more, I am going to enhance it with some cabinets and tech stuff so it should look more professional.

Thanks Sidhe. I am working on the last TP room, it only holds two porters but it will function as a landing pad for longbow ships.

Douible xp weekend put my base building on hold, but this is what I have so far. I am thinking I need another week or two to finish the room. I will try and walk you through my ideas;

Very cool looking updates.

I've been working on a very similar base and was wondering if you had any tips for lighting. Mainly:

How should I set the overall lighting of the base?
What lights should I hide inside objects?
Where should I place these lights?

Thanks & keep up the good work

That, sir, is innovation at its best, as far as base building stuff goes. Nice work, Starr.


Where to find me after the end:
The Secret World - Arcadia - Shinzo
Rift - Faeblight - Bloodspeaker
LotRO - Gladden - Aranelion
STO - Holodeck - @Captain_Thiraas

Obviously, I don't care about NCSoft's forum rules, now.

1. I keep the top lighting all the way black, the middle about 4 clicks from the left and the bottom about 2 clicks.
2. Floor tech lights. They give off a nice glow.
3. Inside the tech storage bins. I sometimes stack them.

Was going to post more pictures, but the storm took out my power and almost blew up my computer.

Ran into a snag with the back part of the room. I initially put the star fields but to me it doesn’t look that great because the lights are so close. I will post them for show, but am thinking of reworking the back part into something like a construction area that is only visible. My inspiration is a giant Zoid robot or a bunch of longbow fliers.

Hmm, interesting. I am a Zoids fan, never saw somehting like that done before.

I soooo want to try and do this, at least the one conference room with windows onto the stars. If I can manage that much, I'll consider whether to do anything more. ^_^ But it looks incredibly cool.

Updates: Thinking of reworking the back part where the stars are. To me it just doesn’t look that great. I am highly considering adding about 8 ships in the back all on three levels using the tech pillars as level separations. Need to play around with it after work. Will keep you all posted. In the mean time, enjoy these updates!

You continue to blow me away Turbo. I am just sad that all my building has been put on hold but you give me lots of insperation to work with.

Thanks Sidhe. Hope you can pick up the building again soon. You have great ideas and want to see the finished product.

I have done a 180 on this room, made some changes over the weekend and look to update this as soon as im done.

This looks amazing. Keep it up Turbo!

Did a full makeover with the back part of this room. I began to think how a space station can always have oxygen and how one would reuse oxygen???. So I decided to make a section dedicated to the creation and cultivation of "oxygen". Its almost done, but figurd I would update you all with whats on my mind. If you have ideas, please post, I coud use more insperation.

okay for the lab I would put instead of more tech focus on the fact that you build an abitorium (sp?) and you are working on ways to produce more food and keep the plants alive...that is just my thought, how to do it I'm not sure.

Most arboretums are quite large, and are usually focused on the preservation and cultivation of a variety of botanical species.

LA Arboretum
Dallas Arboretum
US Arboretum

Though, I seem to recall seeing some smaller arboretums set up like fancy greenhouses in a smallish park.

And Turbo, What did you use for your waterfall texture?... a banner? it's quite clever.

Yes, Tech banner #10 in the same shade of blue. I overlaped then so it created a ripple effect.

I dont know if you can Turbo, but is it possible to post those pics somewhere else other than photobucket, cant view that from work. I can see Impish's avatar but no pics, just wanted to check out the space station for one of my rooms.
