Ice mining! we are getting it!

[Insomnia]

Anybody else notice that in that ice-mining photo you can see the asteroids are casting shadows on each other again! A small change but significant for graphics nuts like me

I didn't notice the shadows but the AO looks awesome!
And the subsurface scattering seems to be less pronounced but that might be due to the relatively strong ambient lighting.

Lots of good info released over the last few days, but Ice Mining got me giggling like a schoolgirl.

I fear we'll see The Ice Pirates.

+ rep for referencing the movie.

Just realised - my secondary mining vessel (the Keelback) might get a new lease of life now - one of my home systems has a ice ring. I could sell the extra fuel tank I purchased and do some inter-system mining.

Well now that Indi Bourbon is legal, we're gonna need plenty of ice!

As any true Indi Bourbon connoiseur knows, it is best served with low temperature diamonds, not ice.
