This reminds me a lot of Peragus II from KOTOR.

it's been so long since I played that game, unfortunately I don't remember that planet at all I take it as a compliment though since it is such an awesome game.

Your work on the planet's crust is amazing, the crumbles are carved out so beautifully and they have an excellent position, great job!

Also, anyone else thinking of a certain Klingon moon that went KA-BOOM?

haha thanks so much! Unfortunately I'm not so good with the Star Trek lore, so I have no idea which moon that is. Might catch up on Star Trek at some point though!

Praxis was a moon of the Klingon homeworld that exploded due to overmining and poor safety measures.  It's destruction created a shock wave that was felt by the USS Excelsior in Federation space, and ultimately led to the Khitomer Conference (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country).

praetoriansub In reply to ??? [2015-07-16 21:07:08 +0000 UTC]

I find this simply amazing! The concept, the original idea, how you did everything, just wow I thought you definitely deserved 5 stars for originality and impact, which is why I thought this critique was slightly unfair. Slightly. Because it's not 5 stars everywhere

ErikShoemaker In reply to praetoriansub [2015-07-19 12:20:51 +0000 UTC]

haha thanks so much, I really appreciate it! The star ratings are very subjective in my opinion, and besides, four out of five is still a very good rating for me.

One of two: gargantuan mining operation or mini death star. Nonetheless that's amazing the planet's core the chunks of rock falling towards it...

do you believe in aliens ? cuz i yes XD

ErikShoemaker In reply to exit-humanity [2015-01-23 21:03:07 +0000 UTC]

there could be billions of earth-like planets out there, many of them out of reach for us, but a couple we have already seen. 
It is very likely that on one or more of these planets biological life could have developed. So my answer is yes. They might not be green and slimey, but I believe in aliens 100%.
