Description
A simple fall into a pit while walking around can change your life forever. Your world that previously seemed so stable and unbreakable turns out to be an old broken machine, which stands on the sharpest edge of destruction. And incomprehensible ancient powers will force you to take on their responsibility of keeping it safe.Haven't drawn for a long - bachelor thesis took almost all the time. I’ve been making this image very slowly for the last month – it helped me to keep my brain unharmed from a tremendous amount of coding and math.

So, Equestria exists in a super-computer on the Thirteenth Floor somewhere? That would explain a lot!

Yeah, there is a lot of 'old experiment by ancient super-civilisation from space' feel about Equesria isn't there? Maybe the Reapers 'harvested' the makers and the experiment, hidden in a sensor null zone, continued on, undetected. Until the Normandy SR-2, out of control after being hit by the blast from the Citadel, crashes into the Everfree Forest.
It's actually a good idea for a fanfic. I'd pay real money to listen to EDI and Twilight exchanging Egghead-isms whilst Rainbow gets excited about spaceflight and Rarity introduces Liara to the spa...

EQ3-STR-1A.
Love the name.
The idea of finding out you live inside a big space ship is an old one.
Anyone remember the original stories name?
Its like the 50s or there about.
A short sci-fi story, I'm thinking.
There was also a Anima about a kid who thought he lived in Tokyo, who found a super-bike/robot that turned out to follow the same premise. 80s I think on that one.
Anyway.
Love the name.
Took me a moment to sound it out to realize it actually meant something.
Great Job.

Are you thinking of “Orphans of the Sky” by Robert Heinlein? That 1941 novel originated the idea that the inhabitants of a vast artificial construct had forgotten that their “world” was a starship launched generations ago.
“Megazone 23” (メガゾーン23) was the 1985 OVA where Shogo Yahgi learns that 1980’s Tokyo is really a VR simulation in a Space Ark, which fled the devistated Earth many generations ago. The population is controlled by subliminals within songs by the rock star Eve, who is actually an AI program that yearns to rebel against her “masters” in the ship’s crew and free the people from the illusion. She reveals all this to Shogo through the commo on the MechaBike [link] that “just happened to” fall into his hands. [link]

Megazone 23
Right!
As for the other. ???.
I just remember a story like it from an old AM Radio Play that was once broadcast as a kid, when they did Golden Oldie Radio Hour. (And no, I'm not that old, it was just something I once got on my radio as a kid).

The idea with artificial planets is so classical in fiction, so I can't even explain where have I take it. It's in the air.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very classical indeed. Here are some highlights:
1918: Pioneer rocket scientist Robert Goddard theorizes a massive spaceship that would take many generations to reach another star.
1941: Robert Heinlein’s “Orphans of the Sky” posits that the descendants of the original passengers of the interstellar ship had forgotten that their world was artificial – due to some disaster many generations ago.
1958: “Non-Stop” by Brian Aldiss has a generation ship, ravaged form a plague caught on a colony world, returning to Earth. The crew of “Forwards” are the only remember some of their past. The passengers do not. An abortive war with invaders reveals them to already be in Earth’s Orbit, with Earthlings infiltrating their ship to repair it and research a cure before the inhabitants can land on Earth. This novel is credited for inspiring the 1976 role-playing game “Metamorphosis Alpha”
1968: Star Trek episode "For the World is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky" written by Rik Vollaerts has the crew of the Enterprise rush to stop an asteroid from colliding with a Federation world, but discover the asteroid is actually a generation ship inhabited by people whose civilization has reverted to primitive ignorance and whose navigation computer has malfunctioned.
1972: Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C Clark has astronauts visit an alien space ark passing through our solar system.
1973: “The Starlost” is set on a space ark attached to many domed “Biospheres”, each carrying different subcultures from Earth. Some farmers from an “Amish” biosphere discover that their world is a starship which fled a dying Earth, but is on a collision course with a star. The crew was wiped out by a disaster a thousand years ago, isolating the biospheres. The farmers set out on a quest to travel through other biospheres connected to the ark, seeking help. The original pilot-episode (scripted by Harlan Ellison) was turned into a comic book in 2010 by IDW Comics (Familiar to MLP FiM fen) called “Phoenix Without Ashes”.
1976: “Metamorphosis Alpha” by James M Ward and published by TSR is the first SF role-playing game. This “D&D dungeon-crawl in Space” is set on the starship Warden which suffered a radiation accident generations ago and is full of mutants, monsters, killer robots and hapless peasants who are not aware that the world is a generation ship.
1978: “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” radio series by Douglas Adams had the planet Golgafrincham exile the “useless third” of its population in a space ark that later crashed on Earth. Thus, humanity is descended from hairdressers, TV producers, HR departments, security gaurds, management consultants and telphone sanitizers.
1991: “Mutineers' Moon” by David Weber. The first of Weber’s “Dahak” novel trilogy reveals humanity to be the descendants of the banished crew of a 55,000 year old starship (disguised as the moon), which had been damaged in a failed mutiny.
2008: WALL-E directed by Andrew Stanton depicts how the couch-potato inhabitants of the space ark Axiom (whose ancestors evacuated a polluted Earth) find inspiration from the heroism of a pair of robots to return and restore their home world.
2010: “ARK” a Web series – similar premise to The Starlost - premiered on Hulu.

Just because the orbit is unstable doesn't mean that the adjustments can't be automated.
I guess they find something that they can use to give themselves wings so they can get back out of the pit.

Yeah... that's definitively Celestia and Luna... once again, younger.

This is very lovely. Nicely done. Though I don't recognize them... they remind me Celestia and Luna for some reasons... younger...
Coding and math, hun... I'm about to know what you mean... College is going to be rough for me as well.
Maybe we could help each other out one day...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, that's exactly young Luna and Celestia.
If it's something about C, C++, Qt, Java, MySQL, php, JavaScript, HTML, UML and software development methodologies, or even system software development, then you are welcome.

It'll be Java... though right now I have NO NOTIONS at all in programming.
All I know it the general idea: condition/action.
''If, something happen
Then, you should reach as wanted reaction''
I also don't have the Program to code yet...
Though I think I'll +watch you and see if we could once work on something together one day... I'm looking forward for some more once I'm useful XD
Really willing to learn ^^
P.S. What's the difference between Java and JavaScript?

action->responce? basically yes, but you will be surprised learning about object-oriented programming.

It would be more accurate if the cosmic model has an ecliptic belt on it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A geostationary orbit is circular, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
But Equestria has four seasons, implying that the ecliptic motion of the sun.
Also, there has been one scene in S1E23 where a lunate moon can be seen, implying the existence of phases of the moon.
