Base Model Improvement: Southampon Shipyard

[Jinx]

to back up what devs do with their time

dev time is no net time. that means - that you do not get 100% dev time - and subtract time for modelling, ID cards, balance etc separately. why is that important?

when you do not make models - it does not mean that the modeller is suddenly doing balance works. - it means that the modeller is not doing anything for the most part.

same applies to the people that scream "don t make new models - it takes away from making replacements of imports" - that also does not work. just cause one does not make a new model does not mean one works on an import instead - it comes down to creativity and ideas for something.


in terms of the station.

stations are not that difficult - if you want to keep to vanilla levels - your usual station is a fairly unimpressive model. it is extremely simple - beams, boxes and the occasional pencake cylinder.



what is MUCH more important is the immersion of the station. - for example - the kusari arch is considered one of the modern wonders of architecture ( thats why we ignore the 101 guard system that has the same - cause in terms of lore - that must not exist ) - so whatever SHS is meant to look like is primarily a matter that concerns the "story devs" and not so much the modellers. we modellers can make you a custom station that looks like a palace made of gold and platinum with statues and fancy things. - also the size of a planet. but it should fit in... and thats where the story dev(s) kick in and say "no - it cannot look like that - it must be like this.... "
