Three forms of floating in one room.

Well, finally got sick of a little three room base for my SG on Virtue. So I tossed 175 million inf at it and got down to business.



It's now a FOUR room base!

But it's more functional now. I actually have more than two telepads.

And, since I had some time on my hands, I got a bit fancy.



Now people have done "bird cages" with arcane telepads before.

But it kinda struck me that I'd actually used multiple forms of floating to wind up with this final design.

  1. The telepads are floated due to abusing perspective and "shoving" them off a 2-layer floor and back to the wall over a 0-level floor. From there, I deleted the floor down to 1 layer.
  2. The stairs are floated and stacked using the hanging lamp trick.
  3. The beacons are floated by replacing 1 layer of floor, and using a cubicle to float out from the wall.

In fact, the only type of floating I DIDN'T use was desk stacking.







As I said, this sort of thing has been done before. But I thought some of the newer players might find this sort of thing interesting.
