Pass, I dunno. Okay, wild guess time. Is it Essex?

Dammit, Geography was not my favorite subject. Or maths. Or science. Or enlgish. Or art. Although I was good at home economics.

love what they are saying on the news "as councils are running out of grit and salt, is this country going to be thrown into a dissaster", erm no, its not going to last too long.

Oh, well in that case, we want a three-mission OXP with at least one unique ship involved, including an entry for the ship on the Wiki. The mission has to be fully compliant with all releases of Oolite and must be fully bug tested with appropriate spelling, grammar and factual details referenced.

Due date: Monday, 9th Feb.

Jump to it, lad

I feel a bit lucky that the Forth Valley has escaped this weather, but I think that this place may have something to do with that:-

The oil refinery at Grangemouth.
Which is just 2-3 miles away.

Hell's Teeth, how much does all that lighting cost?

Reminds me of my youth - staring out over Teesside. Home of Ridley Scott and the Inspiration for the start of Blade Runner...

I'm not sure, but I don't think I could pay the bill anyway, and depending on which way the wind blows, there are some strange smells in the area(apart from some of the locals

).
The noise from the effluent burner release is rather loud at 1am too.

A pretty sight at night though.

EDIT: slipped in front of me there D.H. Yeah, I can see what you mean with the blade runner reference. Perhaps a mainly industrial world pic there, yes?

That would actually be a good picture to put into a Rough Guide of the Ooniverse article for an Industrial World.

While it fits with our understanding of industrialized worlds... in the future surely it would be all Green energy with no carbon emission and so on.

never the less yeah a good picture...

Says who? A world with an abundance of petrochemicals is not going to go green simply because we in 21st Century Earth are running out. It's the same with 'developing countries', they use energy sources which are 'not green'. Developing worlds maybe going through the equivalent of the Industrial Revolution as their Tech Level increases. It's not really til the upper Tech Levels that green technologies are implementable on the wide scale of industrial processes.

At least I would assume that people in rich industrial worlds would not like to live in an environment like this. They could afford and would have oases of green (or whatever natural environment the species prefers) to live in.

I can't imagine a rich industrial planet covered completely with industry. Rather they would perhaps place the industry underground, or somesuch.

Or terraform the moon into a pleasure world.

A terraformed moon - precisely. Industrialists have never lived anywhere near the consequences of the industry.

With ScareCrow's flipped normal 'glass' technique, we could put biodomes on asteroids.
