Epic Status (large pictures)

Even a test release is still some time off. But here are some pictures to show off a few of the current features. This asteroid sunset shows off one of the environmental effects, a dense field generator. Any kind of object can be used. Or a wide mix of objects, ships, debris, what ever you like.

Here is a LOR platform arriving on the construction site of a new station. Station construction and destruction features strongly.

Pirates and Spies don’t build stations as much as they build hidden operations. Here is one such operation. They are hidden inside the habitat modules that surround stations. A player must dock with the module and search for them. The Operations can be Black markets, Embezzling rings, or hacking tools developers. Destroying these operations are the key to victory in the Mafia wars. Care must be taken to avoid provoking the anger of the station owners.

Here is a command tower (at a rather odd angle) showing off the new modular station code. By targeting this command tower, you can attempt to kill the faction leadership. One method of completing an assassination mission.

Here my ship targets the stations modular reactor. Distroying the reactor disables the stations production. A common tactic in Corporation Wars that rage across unpoliced backwaters.

Here is the modular reactor breaking away from the station as it is destroyed. For test purposes, the station was destroyed shortly afterwards. Because this “Palace” is the center of government for this system, the remaining government stations fell into collapse.

Here is a police station, abandond after the government collapse. Notice the targeted supplies container. When stations are abandond, they sometimes leave items behind that scavengers can collect. The stations can be captured by other factions and put back into operation. This is how rebels gain control of star systems and form new governments.
