Thanks everyone. Glad you like them.
The original "buildings" were just big whiteboxes, and were only there to represent the fact that that big circle was the city. It hadn't been decided what that whole thing was going to look like at that point, and it didn't matter for me to build the rest of the zone. Just had to be representational.
I agree, that would be super cool, but would require custom animations, and likely blocking off the whole landing pad to players.
Thanks, I just assembled them in Photoshop that we have here at work (CS4 or 5 I think?)
A day/night cycle could be nice, but it takes significantly more time to set up than people might think. And I didn't have that kind of time for NR.
Not sure. What props are you talking about?

Can you give some insight as to why the city background changed so dramatically, e.g. going from what would have been buildings behind the wall to nothing (visible). You probably changed tac considering its a 'new' colony etc, but maybe some of those original tall buildings could have remained as metalwork structures in development like some assets of the wall have? Perhaps you took them out completely since we don't have a great vantage point on the ground (for the most part) to even see that much behind the wall to notice any metalframe buildings in any case? |

The shuttle takes off, and soon another arrives etc. It would give a greater feeling of activity to the area perhaps.

One question, what gif creator did you use as I'm always on the lookout for a good one for my fleet website. Cheers ADDED: Again please consider a day night cycle, it would be awesome |

Why do you often make props smaller btw? |

But I think I like Derptopus a lot more.

Excellent work on New Romulus !! Is this type of map something that the devs are looking to implement on other worlds, such as Andoria for Andorian reputation, or Vulcan for Vulcan reputation?
Now that New Romulus is out, what are the possibilities of going back to add in the day/night cycle?

Very impressive stuff 
Although I would have preferred that the Altai had remained a wide, strong river, instead of the more creek-like tributary it currently resembles. Was this changed due to lack of swimming tech in STO (required for traversing a big, deep river on foot)?

I don't care how long you've been playing. I only care about how you play.
And remember to follow the rules.

Yes, it's a "Galaxy's Child" reference...
