So, yesterday was my birthday.
Last night, I decided that Repose was a fun idea, but I really didn't like the design approach was taking. So it was scrapped. Instead, I'm building another Legacy-class ship. The Ouroboros. She's in perfect condition, stationed in the Caprica Expanse (a region of space that's actually in the gap between arms of the galaxy). She was stationed there as a refueling and rest stop. Later, a Slipstream Jump Gate was constructed near by. Subnovan technology was advanced to the point where it was no longer practical to refit the Ouroboros for active service, so she remains as a ship-based space station. A beacon of light for weary travelers.
In the Legacy, I've started working on some really neat detail features, one of which is a water fogger. Inspired by the brilliant set crew of
Stargate Universe. They are currently attached to plasma transfer conduits, which have a cooling system that causes atmosphere near the junctions to rapidly condense and fall as cold water vapor. Its a nifty effect that should look even more spectacular when I start working with per-pixel lighting.
So, today, there will be no progress on any of the builds in SL, nor getting Syntax online. The good news is that the office is coming along nicely. Found some workstation desks that will work very nicely.
That's it for now.
