Unfinished Orbi starport

schlowi123 · Oct 29, 2020

Hello

A while ago I found this Orbis starport …

… that seems unfinished. Has anybody else seen sth. similar?

It is fully functional as far as I remember, but how is that possible. Isn't the reactor in the "tail"?

Also: I unfortunately forgot to write up where it was. Does anybody know that. It is lokated in the rings of some planet.

Yep seen these before, these are built as a single core then have engines attacthed and then jumped to location... then engines are removed..

They are then expanded as the economy can support them.
If there built as a result of CG for a system then they can be failed to be completed as the CG may not have reached max tier so the station has reduced supply...
Don't know that specific location...

skybox looks as if it is one of the colonia "new" starports.

There should only be one starport like that left in the game, one of the left overs from the Sothis Connection CG. Been a long time, so memory's fuzzy.

edit- I guess there could be more out in Colonia as suggested above, have yet to fully explore out there.

Looks like it could be Mortimer's Charm in Kinesi.

I was thinking the other day about taking a tour around the bubble to visit all the different varieties/build states of the various station types!

Anyone remember the early days when they were literally still building the art assets, and we could see that in the stations?

It looks like some of it just didnt render to me...

Is it actually a thing, or a bug?

Thank you for the answers and yes, Colonia is a very likely location for that starport. I have been there around the time I took the photo.
The images right before and after the one shown above are from Screakiae AA-A h252 and Voqua HX-R d5-202 which are close to Colonia.

If it is Mortimer's Charm- awful place.

No shipyard, no weapon restock facility, no outfitting.

It would be nice if we could have some CGs or something else in place to look at upgrading places like this in Colonia. Maybe even something analogous to the engineers.

Oh dear my darkside just came up with an idea for that CG.
Haul Beryllium from the Witch Head to Colonia.

Before everyone starts with the tar and pitchforks I deny this suggestion.
