Interesting Complex

Post by JesterSig » Wed, 13. Jan 10, 23:08

I was browsing youtube and came across this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PasjLhsrDsU

In the background there appears to be a complex containing several stations in a long line that are forming a ring around the planet. Has anyone ever tried this? Going around the whole planet would be crazy but even going partially around would make for an awesome view. I'd never thought of even trying something like this but I may have to give it a go now.

It's something you get to see in TC. I beleive one of the Mods built a complex that went round a planet. Don't know who tho, or even if I'm remembering correcty.

Why is it always 1337?
As in the code for elite.

Makes me suspicious, it does.

Some people have waaay too much spare time :)

Nice video. I like the music. Is that actual X music? I never listen to it.

Wow that 1337 complex must have taken a while to build. I really like the music in the video too. I didn't realize the original picture was from TC, I only have X3R so thanks for clearing that up for me.

It was from X3:R with the XTM mod. They included the torus, as it's known, in TC, along with lots of other XTM content.

Nice, that must have taken a lot of time, good work. Does it make a lot of credits? I enjoyed the video also.

Such a great game.

2 explanations:

1. 1337 is the most efficient sized complex anyone can be bothered to make?

2. (the more likely one) It's the same guys complex in all these different threads... :wink:
