So glad I waited...

During the early Beta phases of the games development we didn't have access to the original starting location for the first Elite game. Then a little later they opened up that section of space and quite a few people went back to where it all started.

I wanted to wait until the game was fully finished before heading over there and exploring old haunts, remembering the game and reminiscing over past glories.

Also, truth be told, I wasn't a little anxious about seeing Lave Station. Why?

Well... I wanted to remember it how it was. All wireframe rather than the new design - not that I have anything against the new graphics and designs, they are stunning. I just kinda had a soft spot for Lave and wished it would be different!

Anyway... I shouldn't have worried. Obviously someone at Frontier felt the same and when I finally plucked up the courage to Return to Lave I saw that my dreams had come true and there was Lave Station in all it's 3D wireframe glory.

I had to take a screenshot of it and thought I should post it here...

The weirdest things was, that when I flew through the entrance (no toast rack!) everything on the inside was like the new stations. It must have been only on the outside!

lol, just about as interesting as the rest of the game so far! I hope they get some fun game play into this soon.

Strange... I started at the Lave station and been back quite a few times trading, and have never seen the wireframe version.

Of course not. Notice how the colors are off as well. Needs to repair that installation. Some files aren't loading.

I miss dropping into the station safe zone and seeing the station from miles out, hanging like a tiny jewel in orbit above the planet.

Installation is fine thank you and all files are loading :) The HUD colours have been changed using the little 'file edit' method that has been much posted.

The bright orange isn't good for my colour blindness.

The hud colors have been modified by the OP. There is a tutorial on reddit and here in the forums how to customize your hud.

For real? No photoshop? Oh my god...

This is my next stop for sure. :D

Thank you Fenris Wolf, this... is... great. Good old memories.

The docking compared to the originals is so much easier now.
