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.

Astronauts on the ISS say they could spend hours at the Cupola windows just watching. In The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the twins used to wind down in a similar manner. It's almost Friday. Come look out the window with us.

Every time you step out onto the station's hull, you’re met with...
4. Emptiness.
And it feels like the first time, every single time.

(I absolutely LOVE the belter protagonist from the playtest!! I usually can't stand belters in books, but this gal totally won me over—oh, there’s going to be another drawing of her.)

It’s fast and strong, and it looks like it’s impossible to kill. What is this thing, and where did it come from?

Ah, they don't pay me nearly enough for this kind of...

  1. Sacrifices!

If there's one thing I haven't had to do in this job so far, it's throwing myself in front of bullets D:

Well, Larry, there's a first time for everything ;)

The lush greenery of Ganymede is a captivating reminder of Earth. These gardens are a triumph of human intellect and a remarkably fragile system maintained on the brink of the frozen dark. One wrong move, and the void will reclaim what belongs to it.

Is the Gemini really a frigate like the devs say it is?

Based on the images from the Beta and comparing it against the Rocinante from the TV show the Gemini clearly looks much larger than a standard Frigate, at minimum I'd call this a heavy Frigate or a full destroyer at best
