    woah .. really nice floating stone :D
    Is it done all by hand or did you use a tool for that part ?
    Or did you grab a stone from the garden and copied that ?

    I wanted to do an asteroid base thingy myself ... but now i am slightly depressed that mine will not look even half way as good as yours or the one that Ki11aWi11 posted. --- but i guess i will do it anyway ... its so obvious to do with all the asteroids floating around in StarMade ;)
    I own 3DS Max and made my own asteroid model. If the contest weren't so short, I would have considered making it by hand. But, with only 3 weeks that was pretty much my only route.

    I kind of set everything to max and half is still blacked out...
    Anyway, this is my neutral station. Save for lighting it has no interior. Meant to be a sort of a shipyard...

    It looks like you have shadows turned on? It might just be the shadow of your station cascading the other end.

    If you're unfamiliar, you can always watch tutorials on youtube, download the trial version, and make a blob. It wouldn't be hard for a basic asteroid.

    look in blueprints/exported/the name you specified with "/save mystationname"


    Quite wrong bro. "/load mySavedStation myIngameStationName" is how you import a .sment file. Sector saves are for when the positioning REALLY matters, like a station wrapped around a shop, or a Dyson sphere.
    oh. I figured there two different files for ships and stations. Makes the most sense really.

    I think its dynamic shadows. If it rendered the shadows as far as your actual visual range it would probably impact performance so it only goes up to a certain point. I don't know if turning them off would help get a better picture.
