It sounds like there's a tricky decision as to when to stick to the original game and when to branch off and change. I'd love to see *huge* space stations and transporters so that I can have that opening sequence of Star Wars flypast experience.

Hopefully nobody will mind if I throw an idea in here. Maybe the first galaxy should be Elite-like then , as you progress further into the game you get new types of bigger space stations and huge ships. (not that I'd know if this had been done -- I'm still on the first Galaxy.)

It has been done, most missions start in later galaxies.
Gallileo has a huge work in progress that alters a large number of systems in a distant galaxy.

There are some pittfalls to confining ships to certain galaxies, but I am confident Giles is working on the problem.

When looking at the size of the ship compared to a station, it does become clear exactly how big the Cobra is, but how well the scale works. I started working on an internal model of a Coriolis some time ago, and this shows the scale (the Cobra is the red blob, the long box is the docking port):

Bearing in mind that the Coriolis is a small, easy to construct design, the scale fits fairly well!

Selezen - do you still have the original image anywhere?

Oh! And the Dream Team Beta oxp is missing oodles of textures. Any idea as to where they might be? I'm particularly after the Adder.
