I've always had a fascination with the crescent-shaped, moonish starport from the movie Treasure Planet. About a year ago I made a map for a game called counter-strike semi-inspired by that imagery.
It obviously would have to be bigger thank the picture provided (like in the movie, it was massive) but the main point was the theme of everyone's ships just floating as if at an ocean port and then you could walk around and meet people and do stuff like stroll into a tavern and meet colorful characters to befriend. Maybe it could be shaped like the halo from halo to so gravity could exist.
If anyone's travelled to a Guardian Beacon, there's this thick cloud surrounding it that creates an almost eerie atmosphere. perhaps that could be done with oxygen to create a daylight and oxygenated environment as you get closer to the port.
You could make them pretty big, and they could be very few that serve as entertainment hubs for multiple pilots to visit at once and meet and so forth.
To be perfectly frank with the technology that's shown I don't see how its not possible, and I would definitely love to see a new starport type to breakup the mail slot monotony.
Thoughts?
