Description
We made planetfall at last! It was a very heavy landing. Our ship was not designed for gravity landings.
We usually operate asteroid hopping missions, you know, pick up a cargo from one of the mining stations
Drop it of at the orbiting processing plant, transport miners from one rock to another. The usual stuff!
Pays OK, but never enough!! Then we get a message that some outpost colony need a specialist chemical production gizmo,yuu know,
the sort you can't get in your local hardware store for obvious legal reasons!!!
Land well away from town they said, we'll send someone to pick it up. They ain't arrived yet, and we've got the small problem of a busted landing leg! Poor old girl ain't built for banging into planets!!!
Just my luck. Any profit will go into fixing up this poor old rig!
Think I'm destined to stay poor for a long while yet! (assuming we don't get arrested for illegal trading first)
Harry Moraan.
Captain of the cargo ship "Starhawk"

great image and story steve. nice job placing the ship. kudoes !
So, is the jack still in the trunk (boot)? Awesome work, as many have pointed out the atmosphere and terrain are spot on for the story line!
Ooooooops not a good landing Shweeeeeeeeeeet render dude outstanding lighting
a major flat and no AAA to be seen!!very original art and I love your story
Your intrepid new world explorer has certainly had a rough landing , Steve - let's hope that it can be repaired soon !
Aww yeah, the wake vortex will get you everytime on gravity landings!! Man, there go your profits, keeping my fingers crossed you don't get busted! Lucky though no one hurt! And hey, with luck you'll still be able to get up off the ground! awesome render and story!!
Yeah, sure. Blame your bad piloting on the ship. I've landed that same model on plenty of planets, no problem. Maybe not Gargantua; 2.3 gee can ruin anybody's day. But still... Some maintenance work helps too. Nice model. Good landscape. I'll give it 5 stars. Now the pilot, he gets 1 star. At best...
Super work!Beautiful atmosphere
