- Start date
that is one beautiful galaxy, think i will buy a towel and a copy of Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. and start my long journey to Asellus Prime for my gold sidewinder
don't know what could have put the thought of HHG2TG in your head.... :/
ha ha its my go to book, had all five books of the trilogy.
is it me or was that video pish? I didn't really show the scale at all. the scale of this game is HUGE I have seen better videos for the scale, but nice touch OP. the scale and vastness of this game Is a major turn on[heart]
Sorry to hear you didn't think it showed the scale. I'm not sure what more you can do other than show going from smallest to the largest but we're always open to pointers

sorry OP I didn't mean to offend[where is it] didn't realise it was you that made the video. it was ok and done what it needed to do, I just thought it might have been a bit like this one or something similar [video=youtube;Nq-_wpEK7Gs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq-_wpEK7Gs[/video]
while there are no towels on the commodity market, there is a rare good "Galactic Travels Guides" to buy from LHS 3447/Bluford Orbital.

Not offended dude. Always welcome constructive critiscism. We'll give it a look

As an amatur astronomer for 58+ years. When I'm asked about the scale of the universe. My reply is: The known vs unknown universe contains a average of a billion galaxies in an area of an average sized grain of silica sand, when viewed at arms length of an average 6ft tall person. Thus holding two grains would equate to 2,000,000,000 repeat until the entire sky surounding Earth is completly shaded by the numerious grains consisting of a billion each. Our Milky Way Galaxy is just one of those.
Acids a proper scifi buff
yeah i admit, i've watched everything from thunderbirds to babylon 5, i have watched every starwars, and star trek film at least twice and yes greedo shot first. hope i still qualify as a sci fi buff
Ha ha, I went around trying to visit all the planets mentioned in the books, I'm sad to report Fort Prefects home planet "Betelgeuse 5" is no more, i found no trace's of it left
