Was that found in the Arse system by any chance?
You would not believe how glad I am to know I wasn't the only one with that reaction!
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

All levity aside, it should be noted that the pic in question is from a trunk demo, which no doubt took hours of work to create.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

I've lurked on this thread for ages, but those shots of the new station as incredible, well done all those concerned. They're the best ad for this 'game' I've ever seen!
