WickNole Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Location: H04 - Crofter's Ridge Tags: civil, building, exploration Terrain: Mountains Start of transmission #03. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- While most of Octan explorers were traveling to Xerillian, I've spend the week establishing small supply platform on Crofter's Ridge... “It’s a calm and safe place” – they told me. “Just be sure that you don’t touch anything on the ground, or don’t travel away from the platform, or don’t forget to carry a proper weapon…” and lots of other “don’t’s”. If course I did it all wrong. Just as the platform was installed, I've climbed down to check the nearby territory. And to make the usual picture, of course, (hopefully, I'll be able to do these in color soon, but for now b/w is a sole option). All in all, I've barely managed back alive and in one piece. No questions now, why the alien live status is stated as "intense" here. I can surely confirm that... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- End of transmission #03.

Jody Meyer Posted June 8, 2015 I really like this outpost, nice rock formation and clean lines on the platform, good use of the cockpit window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kai NRG Posted June 8, 2015 An excellent build Wicknole, I love the floating platform and the rockwork also looks great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zepher Posted June 8, 2015 Love nearly everything about this. The landscape is nice and rough and flows nicely, and then the platform is nice and sleek. Love the use of the cockpit - looks like a great little base. Awesome economic use of space in the little base as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
