New Year's Release: Diamond-class Space Station
« Thread Started on Jan 1, 2007, 8:10pm »
Well well, it's New Year's day, and here's something new to play with!

[image]

The Diamond Station is now available for download. Only few other models have undergone such radical changes in their design phase as this one - the very first version looked pretty similar to a Death Star....

Diamond Stations were built as massive defense stations in orbit over planet Bricera during the Family war between the Vaylon and Khisar Clan. With a diameter of almost 10 km this powerful battle station can stand well against a whole enemy fleet, while its barely countable laser turrets make it more than a match for any attacker.

Now available for download at an X-Wing HQ near you!

Happy New Year!

Thats a nice "little" Station. :D You can park whole Spaceships in it!!! :o Wow!!!
It looks to me that the displacement in the Tech Libary is not correct.

The Tech Libary say, that the Station is 3km long and displays it in a distence for that size. But the "pic" is in it's true size thereby the Station is to close to the point of view. I've got a Screenshott, but i don't know how i get it in here.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Ah, I see. I experienced this with some of the larger models.

I have yet to find out what causes that issue.

Could it be that the Libary used the height of the Station instead of the diameter?

I doubt it.

The problem occurs with some of my surfaces, which with a hemispherical scybox are at least half as tall as they are wide.

I found something. If the hight of the Station is increased, it will be shown in the right distence.I've added the sphere in the lower left. http://bilder-speicher.de/20070109013432394554.vollbild.html]Screenshot[/url]
Can Ships fly through that energiebeam? I mean should they can? If not, you can place a invisible objekt in it, to increase the hight. If that is possible.

hmmm, that's an interesting idea...

Basically, that beam isn't meant to do any harm to any starship - you could see it as an alienated tractor beam. nonetheless I could add a 'massive' but invisible beam that would solve the problem. After all one should not snoop around that area ;)

A good suggestion! I'll most definitely try that out. Probably won't be before the weekend, but I will.
