Description
Following "Humanity's First Interstellar War" there was an increased interest in the possibilities of terraforming some planets. While explorers found plenty of life, the habitats weren't exactly comfortable for humans to live in, so research intensified in methods for making colonies more friendly to fragile humans. This led to research outposts orbiting a surprising range of worlds. Here a lonely outpost orbits a Mars-like desert world as they seek to determine if it could be terraformed, and what would be necessary to do the job.

I didn't have alot of time to try something totally new, so I pulled together components I'd created before in a new configuration. Thanks for taking a look, and have a great weekend!

EXCELLENT storyline, dear ArtFriend ! The designs of your spaceships are more and more sophisticated ! Greaty work indeed
could be a great game indeed
Excellent scene. Great texture on the planet. Fantastic modeling. Corrie

The modeel is interesting & fantastic! Love the texture on the planet too.. One of your best Michael :)
mind boggling work,Michael.
Great looking station and scene!
Amazing sci-fi!!!
This is really top-drawer stuff, and I love the way that all of it fits together. Your planet textures and your orbital structures (and vessels) are always amazing and this is no exception. It's even better as I've got YouTube open and I'm listening to music from Battlestar Galactica...not surprising: I always listen to Bear McCreary music while I'm in front of the computer. Anyway, what a station. I love the 4-arm design and those broad-flat solar panel assemblies. this is something well designed, and by its general configuration, something quite sturdy as well. This is superb work and I'd love to see further explorations of this universe. Great stuff.
Really cool modelling...the panels are very well done! Great work as usual!
One of your most beautiful creation, the station is huge but detailed, and the planet has a great surface. I really like it.
Out of this world...Superb Modeling! -=Will=-
did a super cool job doing it too. wonderful story
HOLY ........ !!!!! Mike, every time I see one of your works, it amazes me more and more. This kicks some serious behind! Just look at the structural elements - this is beyond superb! It's fantastic, and yet this looks like something that could be done with today's technology. Does NASA know about you?? Wow! And the planet ... Amazing! Looks like something sent back by a deep space probe. Fantastic work, my friend! Keep 'em coming!
great construction, great image
Excellent object and scene, as always ;)
Stunning.
GORGEOUS RENDER
One of your BEST!!! David
A serious model this :)
