As I would often try to find new ways of getting a closer look at the outside archictecture of the stations. As I would stare through the ceiling of my canopy as I would let my Side-Winder drift underneath it. I love the detail the graphics designer and programmers have put into them now. Outside and..... inside! They certainly look a whole let better than the very first 3D wire-framed version. There are actual canyons of metal on that thing...with what appear to be medium sized high rise buildings with streets in between them. I would like to fly into those canyons and land my ship on top of one of buildings or the streets below them. Yet there were some obstructions that prevented me from getting there and the thing turns slowly...rotating. These canyons were in between the inner hub where the entrance is and a outer ring or circular canyon (Just think of the trench battle on the Death-Star, except it's in a circle...) just on the inner edge of that side of the station's surface. With a track like road running around that just above it. There was one another the other end as well. That was where I flew my Sidewinder when I managed to get it into the shallow canyon with out scraping the sides and did some flew around and around along the inner wall. Eventually picking up speed and even using boost without with out ruining any paint work. I did this for a couple of turns before using side ways thrusters to sidle out. Yeah, that's what you do in a ship named after Crotalus Cerastes, a venomous pit-viper species found in the south-western United States. Then I did some laps on the track up above this grove and at both ends. Some times I over shot and had to slow down and turn inwards again to get back on it. There was a few near collisions but, nothing serious. Not until, I decided to explore the pit-hub surrounding the entrance. Where that guidance cage is......It is possible to fly in there, but then everything just disappears...like the graphic people didn't bother or haven't bothered with it yet. I might let them know about this, because, in this game I would like to fly my ship anywhere I can possibly find room for it to move or land in or on. If you try this, just watch out for the cage . Merely rubbing against it like I did, will cause it to hold fast on to your ship. I was stuck there for while before I miraculously fired the right combination thrusters to separate my ship from it. It's just sticky if you touch that thing in the wrong place with your ship. Another thing I noticed as I think this is Azeban-City. The PORT (RED) and STARBOARD (GREEN) situated on each of the narrow sides of the entrance. (I think they are either on the end of the guidance-cage closest to any ship entering the station.) are on the wrong sides. Not that, I think, up and down really matters, but when the red light is on the left like it should be. All the advertising Holograms are upside down. I wonder if that was done on purpose to see if we were paying attention. That's all I have to say for now.
