Thank you indeed Kenneth. It is coming along slowly but steadily.
Somebody needs to pilot this ship, so I am going to look into my Poser
workforce pool to see if somebody qualified is available. Still a couple
of issues /inside/ the cockpit to take care off before returning to the
pods.
No, the rear engine area has not been changed; it is the "greebles"
texture which lights up under some illumination angles. Maybe I shall do
something about it, not sure. At present, a couple of pods are missing
which is probably why the pilot or co-pilot is investigating outside... :-)
Later today I shall post the scene with a different background.

Oh! The missing pods seem to have been found! ;-)
The planet is a - slightly modified - version of Sam Benge's
RidgedMFPlanetB, and the starry background is Milkyway_BG.exr. I don't
remember where that one cam from. I converted it to an exr file to be
able to control its luminosity though.

How I wish I could expand the storage on my class-A freighter
"Zarathustra" by simply docking such cargo shuttles... but
unfortunately, in No Man's Sky, cargo storage is strictly limited to a
total(!) of ten in-ship containers, each with a mere 50 slots! At least,
containers are accessible from any planetary base...
And then that infamous 16,000-part building limit... players, to the
barricades!
See you in Khyberspace!

very nice. had concerns not seeing a "hatch" :-) but then spotted what looks
like a ramp. the pods give me a "wooden" impression, somehow; and now, not
having the required education, I'm wondering how dehydrated + compressed wood
"panels" would perform in space.
(hoping for "boosts", in your energy levels)
regards, jr.

Most likely surprisingly well - see here:
https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/07/asia/japan-wooden-satellite-scn-spc/index.html
15 years earlier, this would have been a nice "cultural boost" for the
then-emerging indie-folk "lumbersexual" scene (or vice versa), many
would have been eager to wait for seeing the Fleet Foxes floating around
in an orbital log cabin...
Wood is good! Just ask a Nuristani...
See you in Khyberspace!

so I had a look at Nusristan's Wikipedia page. _very_beautiful_. the images
are a bit like Tirol, or the "Schwarzwald", on steroids.

Yes, the Hindu Kush is a *little bit* higher than the Black Forest or
even the Alps...

bah, mere kilometres.. </grin>
I guess I was simply surprised, after all these years of "western soldiers on
patrol" media images which showed mostly the "drab bits" around Kandahar, that
there are such lush ("verdant") places.

Yes, these eastern parts of Afghanistan are the only regions still
reached by the Indian summer monsoon, further west the forests quickly
give way to what used to be steppe vegetation with interspersed juniper
and wild pistachio groves, but has been reduced to semi-desert by many
decades of overgrazing... and also the eastern forests (which exist not
only in Nuristan, but also in the higher reaches of Khost and Paktia
provinces further south) have been massively damaged by overfelling
during the recent wars, for which mostly the Pakistani timber mafia is
to blame. But overall, the Nuristani woodlands still are preserved
better than those in Khost and Paktia, thanks to Nuristani culture with
its centuries-old woodcraft traditions, while the latter provinces are
populated almost exclusively by Pashtuns, which don't have this
affection towards wood and forests and thus simply plundered them...
Let's hope that at least in POVghanistan (or other incarnations of
Khyberspace) the eastern Afghan forests will be restore to their former
splendour one day!
See you there!
