the trip from qo'nos to psi Velorum is pretty painless. (or will be when they open the sector)
I don't care about the trip, I care about having a nearby "base" to dock, put things in the bank, on the exchange, change my ship, etc. The Klinks could and should have a base in Psi Canis.
Here's the way I look at it, I can get from SB39 to Sol before my Slipstream runs out. That's pretty dang close.
Quite right...assuming everybody has reached VA. Unfortunately, SB39 is the mission hub for Lt. Commander and Commander missions, so those poor souls travel noticably more slowly - don't tell me you've forgotten!

Not at all as my alt is a Com as of this moment. But like I said, they are still close together. Having SB39 set up like Drozana (Exchange, Mail, Ship Selector, basic vendors, bank) or Battle Group Omega would be fine. But to have it set up like ESD, DS9 and K7, I think, is a bit much.
But that's just my two Abraham Lincolns on the matter....
Nice that SB39 is getting an update. I really hate those S-Curve Hallways.
Also, it's annoying the Transporter room is at the far end, instead of a centralized area.
Perhaps Khitomer?
I'll be a bit more specific.
At present, I am making sure that SB39 has the mission givers and vendors necessary to function for the upcoming weekly missions. This doesn't necessarily give me time to overhaul the interior geometry or change the scope of what sorts of things you can do or purchase there. Also, since I'm not an environmental artist, it would be . . . um . . . not good if I were to try to change the interior geometry extensively.

Well, perhaps you could share my "observation" with the environmental team for the SB-39 enhancements.
Come to think of it, I wonder if you guys fixed that high population problem with SB-39? For some reason, that zone never was stable when there was too many players in the zone.
So do I, but I presume they exist for gameplay reasons - if they ever decide to make a "SB39 Under Siege" type mission, the s-curves provide a little built-in crowd control. Just like SB82 in Infected, which is...well, identical.

Booo.....*throws tomatoes at Heinig* ....calling yourself a dev...you can't even do a simple job like that. *throws some more tomatoes*

Yeah, I know. But don't think that will ever be the case. But I could see them ripping out the S-Curves and turn them into T-Section hallways that lead to more of the station so it actually feels like a station.

S-curves aren't going anywhere. K7 has them. Captain's Table has them. If you are looking for a "technobabble" reason, you could always say they are designed to contstrict the flow of air in the event of a hull breach to limit the amount of atmosphere lost before the force fields go up. (Hey, at least I'm trying...)

To me it would be that they were to counter attacks. But really I don't recall seeing them in Star Trek.
Besides, star ships and space stations supposed to be efficient in design. You know, no wasted space. :P
Unless I miss my guess, while the full on art isn't necessarily Jesse's department, he could actually replace SB39 with another pre-existing map like ESD and then tweak it with props, basically like we can do in The Foundry.
The question is still whether the additional hookups would warrant that treatment.

Also, wouldn't it be likely that the core hub of this series is a neutral, persistent hub like Drozana or Deferra?
Unless the Klingons are also using SB 39, I'm not sure how the makeover makes sense. (Unless a Klingon station is also being added up there.)

Yeah, we may see either a new Klingon outpost or some sort of Drozana-style neutral hub added, as well. I still think SB39 could use the additional functionality for all those poor Lt. Commanders and Commanders out there. Remember, Eta Eridani has Drozana, K7, and Ganalda.
Got a point, but first Cryptic has to unlock sectors for Klingons.
As for Klingon Hubs, the only thing that would be close enough is Khitomer. But that in a part of space yet to be opened up. They surely can't let Klingons at SB 39 because of the war. So guess they need to load up on equipment and take the long way.

"...Your refusal... would be unwise."

although i would not mind seeing a klingon base set up in pi canis. maybe in the Mempa sector.
I had the same thought - the timing is very convenient, and I think/hope you're right.

No but it would be intresting, Go on have a go. U know u want to
Any chance of SB39 getting a tailor?

Hey, watch your aim! You hit me! :mad:
Besides, you should throw your tomatos at Dan. He's the Captain of that particular ship.:D
No tomatoes for Dan....got something special for him in the works.:D
My degree is in computer science, not computer art.
Should replace Sierra 39 with a Z-Machine layout
*runs to the store to get Heinig a sense of humor*:D

Yeah, but it'd be FUNNY.
Escheresque, even?
More like Dali-esque. We're talking Persistence of Memory.
