I continue to tinker with decor &c., but my Castle Frankenstone hangout on Planet DAD is ready for all your hanging out needs! edit: every hangout needs a secret NipNip stash (or so I have read, to quote Spinal Tap)

I keep on saying I’ll make it, then I keep getting busy. Life, uh, finds a way to get IN the way. :sweat_smile: I swear I’ll get a base going soon

Finally getting to work on the WarpOut Tavern (name pending). Thinking of a nice little Exocraft bar for Travelers to drop their Nomads and do a little dirtbiking on the dunes of DAD.

Speaking of the Dunes of DAD…

The Operators came to this system in search of answers. Perhaps some will be unearthed beneath the dead sands… Perhaps they will find only more questions.

I’m not much of a builder, but wanted to get something constructed to commemorate what a great time this has all been. Thanks to every member of this awesome community :victory_hand:

The sea life on NED is gorgeous, I just added an underwater bedroom to my base and an SRT to get down there (really hope it works for visitors). The crab has a beautiful sort of metallic mother of pearl look to its shell, and there are mantas I have never seen before also with beautiful colours. And two different types of swordfish, :slight_smile: never seen a swordfish before either.

Swordfish, swordfish

'cause hes so awesome

Back with round deux of the MAIN FAM 0P3RAT0R COLLECTIVE emblem.

The initial response was so much greater than I could have imagined. The first emblem was really a spaghetti attempt, in that, there was so much I wanted to visualize, it was tough to decide which things to emphasize, and which to allow to settle more into the background or remove entirely.

So I added everything.

After receiving some feedback from MAIN FAM looking for more simplicity, (which I agree with), and after taking a solid look at existing in-game emblem decals, I jumped in with a refined eye.

I did my best to reduce visual clutter while maintaining as many of our core data points, memories and experiences as possible. Emphasizing some, reducing or removing others.

After all, as we’re learning in Project Skyscraper, sometimes we need to let go to move forward. (thanks @sheralmyst )

This current version includes all existing known Prime Windows. If you don’t see yours, make sure to share it in the Operator Window Tracker topic.

Updates:

  • Refined the prismatic/holographic look for more subtlety
  • Widened the hexagonal trim to fit the MFOC title
  • Enlarged the MFOC title and updated font to Project Skyscraper’s web font (IBM Plex Mono - thanks @vector_cmdr - prime windows are also in this font)
  • Relocated GAUDIUM EX ERRORE slogan towards middle
  • Relocated and re-sized 3.131.541.212613 to above the binary unicode triangle
  • Reduced size and positional prominence of the Holy Scriptures binary unicode triangle
  • Moved the prime windows to the outer edge to allow for more room and visibility
  • Removed the three blades to reduce visual clutter
  • Removed RGB Atari-esque design to reduce visual clutter
  • Enlarged the wasp to act as more of a central mascot of sorts
  • Thinned out a lot of the larger border lines to aid in visual clutter reduction
  • Added prismatic/holographic border around outer edge
  • Reduced visual “greediness” of spectral light columns

As before, open for feedback. Hope this is closer to what we’re going to vibe with!

A note on prime windows…

I know they’re small. But having looked at other decals in NMS (not just Civ emblems), I believe this detail could make it through into the game if HG decides to add it. But even if it doesn’t, we’ll see something there, and we’ll all know our prime windows are forever represented on this emblem. And for that reason, I’m highly averse to removing them.

And I have a sneaky feeling MAIN FAM feels the same. Correct me if I’m wrong. :heart:

Love y’all.

This is getting super gorgey now. Looking a lot cleaner.

I still want copies of every iteration :stuck_out_tongue:

Is it first? Is it last? Dont care, want em all :wink:

If it should make it into NMS, I could see others looking and saying, what is that? There is something there… Numbers… What are they? What do they mean? :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: Perfect!

The numbers, Mason…

You legend, you! Excellent work

that would look fantastic on the back of a black t-shirt, is all I’m saying

more critically: the only thing I can see at this point that might need clarification is the glitching effect, which might come across to some eyes :slight_smile: as more blurred than glitched. But the overall design and proportions? You nailed it.

edit: so, I guess that wasn’t all I was saying

Eeuw!, no. Sorry if this is unpopular but much preferred the first one.

I think you have overthunk the second one and ruined it.

First one hit you in the face, and said “THIS IS US”, loud and proud, with an excellent design.

Second one is like the design of a Yorkshire Wheeltappers and social shunters beer mat.

Edit: Also, what does this have to do with our MAINFAM System - Operator space?, maybe it needs a new topic?

Edit 2: Apologies, I originate from Yorkshire so maybe not all can associate the image as I do .. And I have had a few G&Ts so ultra honest mode has been set loose. I really ought to put the keyboard away.

This is super clean and scale friendly.
I love it! :heart_eyes:

Worry not, friend. For I’ll have another noggin of whiskey and match you sip for sip! :clinking_beer_mugs: I do agree, though, the first design in my opinion is a stronger one. But given scalability concerns with an in-game variant, I think Design 2 is more than suitable
