    Actually, re-reading this I may have inadvertently hit upon an idea. How about an Asteroid carving competition? A bit like Chainsaw Art, only using a salvage cannon instead of a Build Block :)

    I... Uh... Might be into this.

    Cool idea. In my earlier days designing miners I tested several salvage beam arrays specifically to experiment with 'brushes' ( or chisels I suppose). I tried a cluster of powerful beams in the middle surrounded by weaker beams to get a softer curve on the edges. A narrow tight beam for drilling & sharp detail and fan-shapes. Each gave interesting variations in the material removed.

    I never actually did much sculpting but that was before the asteroids started taking Ass-Steroids ( and got big-assed ).:D

    I completely lost my mind when I read this... Thank goodness I wasn't drinking anything. There would have been a BIG mess.

    Im confused
    The asteroid update resulted in a dramatic increase in size; resembling the use of steroids (ASS-steroids) which would cause them to become BIG-assed.

    So basically, we have a bunch of half-assed-asteroids pumped full of ass-steroids to create a bunch of big-assed asteroids.


    What's so confusing about that?

    That is a reasonable ASS-umption.

    Crap! This thread just became strangely arousing...

    I'm sorry. My "roids" have been acting up lately. I get carried away when that happens...

    Ok. Back on topic. Sometimes, when I get bored in StarMade, I...

    Update my wardrobe.

    Invite some friends over.

    Throw a surprise party.

    Go for a walk in the park...

    Play some basketball.

    Spend time with family

    Watch the sun set

    Is that skin on the CC?

    Its pretty awesome.
    Thanks Edymnion.

    The "Dave" model was losing its appeal so I broke out a can of Photoshop and went to town. Unfortunately it's not on CC, as my personal likeness is under the helmet.

    Every once in a while, I may make a skin for another player upon request; provided my free time allows for it.

    Depending on your relative orientation to the planets and stars, you actually can simulate a sunset/sunrise; quite easily in fact. Given that we play in a simulated environment with an accelerated time passage rate, you can even see the effects of planetary rotation and revolution as they are happening. I've watched the sun rise and set many times while building my cities. Sometimes I stop to admire the view; hence the screen shots.
