Latest landing sample: YouTube PlanetFall2 with arrival report image Almost blew myself up during this run!

I get the impression that those Frontier cities are all much of a muchness (due, no doubt, to early computer limitations). But in Oolite we not only have different human cultures (and economies and political systems) but also the species. A lobstoid city (Azaqu, Uscela etc ... Teorge?) should look ...

We could also have a stab at creating some landing sites.

Xexedi Spaceport

If an oxp can handle overlaying/rescale pngs with transparancy, an universal spaceport with random overlayed ships ed could be a possibility too...
