Never seen a palm tree station before

[goemon]

Would it not be the case then, under centripetal force those trees should be angled?

if you assume, they are grown there and not only planted after grown somewhere else.

but because they reoccur in the same height and same numbers, i'm very positive that there is a waterworld somewhere, with a small island, where they are grown, and then brought to those stations all over the bubble. those waterworld is a contractor of the famous architect, who builds those station interieurs in human space. he originally got famous in the empire, but now everywhere goverments want to have such an interieur!

Is it not a waterworld with an island on it?

Plants, still grow and form after being moved.

Actually, she defected to the Federation ... something about slaver culture being too much to bare.

Yep! Lots of them about. i think they look best under the pink lights, like Smoot station.

My ships are parked at Micky Gorbachev in Sol which is one with the pink lights. One thing I hate about them is it's very hard to spot your landing bay on approach because the numbers just seem to fade into the background. I just can't be bothered moving eight ships anywhere else.

 

[fennster]

How I would expect them to grow...

Probably not to the same extreme.

 

[GTwannabe]

Delta Phoenicis sells those palms...

Probably not to the same extreme.

But that's due to wind, not gravity. Although one would expect a fair amount of "jet blast" that probably wouldn't come from a consistent direction. Wouldn't they have grown plants in low G already (ISS for instance) and have some idea how these would grow in a space station?

I assume those glowing red triangles round the bases are a forcefield of some sort to protect them from such ignominy

Irkutsk is like that, why I like to use a DC going in there :/ My eyes aren't what they used to be..

ah, right, i remember! but didn't she went on to the alliance after that, because she came to the impression, people in the federation are basically corporate slaves?

"artificial gravitation" via rotation shouldn't give those forms... as the earth doesn't give it. and a stations hull will shield against jet blast.

@brian somebody postet an ISS link in this thread alreay, wait, i found it:

I thought it was due to overwhelming corruption, but you could be right.

ISS doesn't have a rotational "anti gravity" no force is applied to the plants apart from their own natural growth. It is to be assumed with one end anchored to the station and the other further from the point of velocity that a difference would occur. And yes that is from wind, but not a force that is continuous, where as the rotation is constant.

The earth doesn't give it because it has actual gravity, with all the other forces (i.e wind) following that rotation.

Centripetal force is more to do with velocity within a circular motion than gravity, velocity is the main factor.

... hm. a cylinder filling a coriolis station has probably a 2+ km radius, if I'm not mistaken. let's say 2 km = 2000 m. those palmtrees are a little bit higher than an Asp, so about 20 m. the difference in velocity between both ends on an palmtree shoud be under 1%. for reference: those trees you posted will be found in a surrounding with an average wind of around 7 m/s over a whole year. now it would be a very good question how fast a coriolis does spin.

anyway, from a strict gardening perspective, you have to wait many years, if you corrected a trees direction, till a tree grows again into that direction. this is why i assume those trees are grown somewhere else, and are planted only for some years into a coriolis.

must be a maximum luxury, to do that on a spacestation.

I meant more from ships landing/taking off from the pad. Which makes me think that it would be hard to maintain natural palms in that environment..

Anyway, thanks for the reminder of the link. Still working so wasn't able to check out the whole thread..

Let's not forgot this is 3302!!! Special rotational palms.

I will get in a sidey and find out how fast, but at which point?

@ Siobhan
Thats the Chrome skin?
Love that one on my Cobra Slaver


S!





PS. Palm stations are nice, but I realy love Clark Dock at Huntan;

 

[Siobhan]

@ Siobhan

It absolutely is, and on the Cobra, it's gorgeous.

 

[Jypson]

I remember when they would cause a little FPS hitch too, but they seem to have sorted that out

at the docking pad, no? also, whether there are differences between the different coriolis.... new thread coming up: list of faster and lower rotating palmtree stations!

Absolutely.

Fly save!
