Belter Charts latest update: Tycho with the Nauvoo docked, city lights on Mars, Luna and the Belt and much more
I don't think I would have had the same drive to do this, were it not for the awesome feedback. Thank you everyone!
So I got to work on bringing even more details to the charts. Here's a short list:
- Luna has city lights on its night side, with transit lines between the towns (like in the show's opening titles). Its near side now faces Earth.
- Tycho Station is at its real size, about 750 m across, with the Nauvoo docked. The Nauvoo is over 2 km long.
- Eros has docking rings (work in progress) and its old shipyards, with an ice hauler berthed in one of them.
- Earth orbit has satellites, and the UN railgun platforms are located on a geostationary ring. The Bush shipyards orbit Luna.
- On Mars you can see Londres Nova and the Mariner Valley districts along Valles Marineris.
- Ceres turns once every 42 minutes (spun up to a third of a g as in the books).
- Vesta, Phobos, Deimos and Phoebe use real spacecraft shape data finally.
- Ganymede has domes and orbital mirrors that light them through the night!
- Thoth Station is dark until the OPA raid, and now you can fly there too. Anderson Station is abandoned.
- After Deimos is destroyed, its gravel stays on the old orbit as a ring.
- The Ring is stationary (no orbit), same as in the books.
- Some ships are named by supporters and fly the same routes for everyone. Click a gold one to follow it.
