Engineer Bases look awesome!

Arubeto · Apr 28, 2016

I love how the engineer base looked in the video stream tonight! It's all moody atmosphere and the way it is integrated into the terrain is great!

(See from time mark 1:06:25 in the following stream)

For some reason I especially like the look of that small Sidewinder docked to one of the landing pads. It somehow very effectively conveys the look of a lonely adventurer coming to some secret base to me

You didn't head off to the pub did you?

Yes...but the livestream itself (which is 1 hour and 16 minutes) is already up while the really short clips are nowhere to be seen...nah...he's probably at the pub!

It sounds as though each base is a single unique set-piece and they're showing more of that Frontier Elite 2 bio-dome one tomorrow.

Engineer bases are to be my new Mission - to shoot at them! Well, really I needed new missions so go figure!

(Someone else have been F5-ing the youtube channel I see!

)

Also really like the really big rocks we can see here. Hopefully these can find their way into the general PG rock system for added variation.

aaaaaaand there it is.

I thought that was too easy myself.

Anyway surely the other grass will be in one of these

Is it only the home bases of engineers that are getting the redesign, or are all surface bases getting a face lift?

I love this. The way the stations seem integrated with the terrain instead of just planted on top of it. The ATC.. The beacon light at the top of the tower. The new landing pads and the lighting effects when landing. Wooooot.

Pazmino · Apr 28, 2016

this is fantastic. the voice is creepy - either a Dalek or a chain smoker (X-files).
light effects, surface integration, pads, WOOT!!

To my understanding the engineer bases are unique.
I dont know if its unique per engineer but they are ment to stand out.

So thats handmade landmarks being added to the game bit by bit

Henri · Apr 28, 2016

they look great!
I would not mind more bio domes.
high pop systems do look a bit under populated

Cmdr Cheese Wedge · Apr 29, 2016

The Engineer bases look brilliant, hope to see more vids with the bio domes soon.
Hope FD leave ATC Davros in as well, nice and menacing sounding.

My feeling too - but I really hope it marks an increase in diversity in planet and space stations.

I liked the rotating light atop the antenna/tower, the blue landing pad lighting, and the voice of the daleks for ATC is an absolute need that I never knew I had.

Man that's sweet... The voice was HK-51 from SWTOR!!!
