My Mood:

Mmm, I was out roaming other science fiction and space themed builds and simply had to come see this one. I was particularly pleased to hear sounds being used. Silent environments are one of my pet peeves in SL.

However, I also noticed many opportunities to reduce prim count. Mostly in shapes and details that used two or more prims, that could be cut down to a single properly cut prim. I suspect the hallway in the entry area could have its prim count cut in half without sacrificing any detail.

I would also suggest reducing the number of light sources in the hallway. Using a single prim, or maybe two, such as how you did in the lounge. It seemed as if most, if not all, the lights in the hall were an individual light source, and this caused a lot of light flickering whenever I would move.

Simply marvelous so far, though. I love how many of the little control panels make appropriate sounds when touched, and the teleporter effect (I must peek again when glow is added to that).

Do keep up the good work. I will have to stop in again.

Ah, and that reminds me. I noticed that being in-character was a requirement to see anything beyond the space station, though I snuck down to see the construction yard anyways. Might I suggest allowing visitors to pass through simply to see the sights? If I recall, the Crack Den had a visitors option, allowing people to quietly observe the role play and the build. I would make such an option noticeable right at the beginning of the daunting notecard so as not to scare people off. I suspect many would like to just come and see, and possibly make a small donation if they're impressed. Also, quiet crowds of visitors in their free costumes would add to the feeling that the place is active and alive.
