Multi-environmental. Like Earth

[Shadow Knight]

Just a concept sort of thing that i whipped up due to being bored

[TheJamsh]

If you are going to do concept art for maps, use Vue.

Not maps, just planets from space.

[Clavin12]

As I said a generic moon would be kind of boring. We should come up with something interesting for the moon, but lifeless.

[AHadley]

It's just a dead chunk of rock. Maybe a captured asteroid. And asteroids can be made interesting.

Incidentally, ever seen the Moon maps in BZ1? What about the BZ2 ones? Maybe base it off those...

[Clavin12]

What I'm saying is not just craters and dust.

[AHadley]

What is bad about craters and dust? Desolate is exactly what I (and I'm sure Mr X) was visualising.

[Clavin12]

But we can make it desolate in a more interesting way, say giant ice crystals.

[AHadley]

Nothing wrong with that, no... but there'd need to be water there for that.

No reason we can't have crystals of something else though.

[Mr X]

Giant diamonds?

Ice is out, it could be melted into water for the escapers to survive off.

[Feared_1]

There shouldn't be too many missions on a moonish planet. Even Pluto in the original story line was sickening by the 3rd or 4th mission.

Giant diamonds?

Ice is out, it could be melted into water for the escapers to survive off.

Imagine a mission on a giant diamond mountain.

[AHadley]

Diamonds would be good, but they-re carbon based and carbon based things seem to be rather a staple. Maybe something sillicone-based? Sillicon Dioxide? Hmm, glass crystals...

[TheJamsh]

if your going to have glass diamonds, do it somewhere hot and surrounded by sand.
