The H. P. Lovecraft in High Dry-Dock at Orbis Terrae-Synchronus Centrensis Magnus
High over CENTRUS 😎


High over CENTRUS 😎
🚧 New Construction 🚧
Instead of a ground-based, low-orbital platform I've embraced the deep-space base and will construct it at a height that will accommodate Freighters/Corvettes/Starships approaching from space as opposed to freighters summoned from the ground.
As orbital bases erase other orbital bases (by the same creator/editor) when uploaded, I may need to coop with another traveler or several to complete the station. It will be interesting to see what scope of work can be achieved. I'll update as construction continues.
And I see the Gek wasted no time with the sightseeing tours over CENTRUS.
This little lady is indigenous to the surrounds of one of my Settlements and visits us often. I haven't made a 'pet' of her, but she has free run if the place.
Imagine my surprise when I was allowed to eject from my Sentinel Interceptor! EVA Ba-Beeeee!
Not really f'ing with the update yet, just a peck on the cheek.
Why was I tempted to fly into this sun?
All I lack is that darn sponge. I was standing on the shore, fishing in 0.2u of water and now I'm Tornado Fishing with dragons.

Can't do it justice, but I just have to try.
I have invited a friend, u/renji___ to visit/join/ and or share his crashed Interceptors with us here.
He's under no pressure or obligation, but I know our community would greatly benefit from direct access to his finds.
If he makes an appearance, please give him a warm r/oldmansky welcome and like and share his ships should he be so generous as to share them here.
The exchange, where he shares them all now, and would almost certainly continue to do so, is a fantastic resource, but is, by it's very size and scope, a bit of a chore to navigate and search sometimes.
Rules for posting here would be utterly relaxed just as it is for everyone here.
I thought our membership would be well served to have a little easier access to some of the best looking Sentinel Interceptors in the Cosmos, without having to search.
Let's hope he joins us and please show our appreciation for all that he has shared with the NMS community already (one of my very favorite ships was his discovery and I had the honor of finding a crash site with 4 connected supercharged slots) - it's a banger! Some of you might have already seen it, or might even be flying it 🙂
There are 2 pinned posts than need your attention! (Top of main page in Community Highlights)
OldManSky Home-System Submittals - where you can see the 5 candidate systems and the discoverers.
Home-System Poll - where you can VOTE for system by discoverer name.
Please have a look and vote ✅
Thank you! 😊
Technical_AD545 has withdrawn their system. These are the 5 members with the most compelling submittals, in the order most convenient to me while taking notes (no other reason).
I couldn't do a synopsis of each system justice, so you'll need to refer to the pinned discussion of possible Home-Systems for pictures and some of the merits of each system.
I suggest:
Take a long look at the pinned post with pics.
Note the member's user handle with the system you might most enjoy for an r/oldmansky home-system.
Return to this post and Vote Here, please and thank you!
Some of the features you may wish to consider:
Number, variety, and qualities of planets
Galaxy (if specified)
Shadow Star System (or not)
The poll ends in 48 hours unless we have a large margin front-runner, in which case we might arrive at a decision early.
Tectonic moon and my preferred search attitude.
Early bird or early worm?
While searching for water on an dusty planet with blood-red skies, three winged horrors, blacker than night, wheel and screech before they descend to greet me. They too sought to slake their thirst. Fortuitous that we met, perhaps? Who's good fortune we shall soon see.
Can we quickly decide upon a 1st Station for our Alliance, or do we need to put that to a poll as well?
I think it doesn't much matter which is first, so long as it is appropriately titled. Get back to me with a proposal! :)
Suggestion: Don't start in Odyalutai as it will be the most difficult for people to link to. Euclid would be a wise starting point, imo.
Polling has been discontinued as The Grey Council is the defacto winner of the r/oldmansky Alliance naming poll. Explore and Unite!
The polling results seem to be slowing, although there are only 119 votes. The margin for The Grey Council (50 votes) over the GOOL (36 votes) seems substantial to me.
The poll could last another 22 hours. Does it need to?
I'm not sure there's a wrong way to fish on a Gas Giant, but this seems to be working out alright. I found a puddle and excavated, built a cylindrical room frame, placed a biodome, deleted the frame, and added a moon pool floor. Seems to be keeping the storms from picking me up, and the fish are biting.
