I like your focus into detail. The first one makes the most sense to me and looks most welcoming. In the second there are those pointy wedges into the floor that would make no sense, and in the third the hazard stripes and the red dots of the axis are out of place (there is no object you associate the repeating pattern with that make sense for the red dots, and why would you use hazard stripes in a walkway that is bordered anyway? ).I'm currently testing some different corridor ideas and designs:
It looks good. The use of stripes and turret axis blocks help break up the visual monotony by adding some detailed colors. I believe that last one is the one I like the most, the other two looking a little bland (only by comparison!)I like your focus into detail.

Maybe none for you, personally I'd imagine them as the motion-trackers or targeting sensors that many, many, many sci-fi ships have in their hallways.(there is no object you associate the repeating pattern with that make sense for the red dots
One of the "alternative" uses for hazard striping, is to indicate a removable panel. In this case, that'd mean the entire floor is a series of removable panels.JinM said:why would you use hazard stripes in a walkway that is bordered anyway? ).
Sure you can interpret the detailing like that. But do you associate it with the first time you see it? I mean if the meaning you describe explains itself by some contextual objects before the floor I totally agree. But did you have those associations freely, or did you search for something this floor could be (like having this side installed lasers), instead of just knowing what the floor is detailed with and is supposed to be instead of just guessing by one look?Maybe none for you, personally I'd imagine them as the motion-trackers or targeting sensors that many, many, many sci-fi ships have in their hallways.
EX: intruder in corridor J 2-6, how do they know that's where the intruders are? (pressure plates are a decent alternative explanation, except when in Zero-G or the intruder is flying)

EX: in some sci-fi ships (I specifically recall something much like this in Star Trek:TNG) there are potentially dozens of systems under the "floor", power distribution, the gravity generator(s), the data-transfer cables, a/several pop-up turret(s), the fecking plumbing.
Effectively, the floor you actually walk upon is being used like a drop-ceiling, as a way to hide/protect finicky, sensitive, or just plain ugly equipment & machinery from sight/casual disruption.
He could allso just like the look it gives. A darker, much more industrial feel, without dumping boat-loads of Pipes everywhere. (Besides, the pipes are jontyfreack's schtick.)
EDIT: Fixed a broken quote, forgot the second " mark.
Some of it was indeed a "what could this be". The motion sensors part of those Rail Turret docksBut did you have those associations freely, or did you search for something this floor could be (like having this side installed lasers), instead of just knowing what the floor is detailed with and is supposed to be instead of just guessing by one look?
DUDE those are recolord Concordian Fighter'sAs an age old MineCraft player, I can generally transfer all that I've learned from building there to StarMade, or so I thought - the reality is that I can surpass MineCraft with ease due to the shear number of decorative blocks and materials; These are some of the interiors to the new Office of Naval Intellegence Project BlackRock (Mouthful, I know) stationView attachment 33299 View attachment 33300 View attachment 33301 View attachment 33302 View attachment 33303 View attachment 33304 View attachment 33305 View attachment 33306 View attachment 33307 View attachment 33308
Concordian Fighter Concordian HA Fighter :PMaybe link them, only 10% of the people here know what you are talking about. I don't know this fighter design, but I like it! First one in this size that looks intimidating for a long time.. =)
Ah yes, how negligent of me. I'd hate to step on anyone's feet and steal credit when not deserved.DUDE those are recolord Concordian Fighter's
Looks great! A bit heavy on the grey maybe, but great.
