    Glad to see it made it in today. Now, what was all that talk about Celeste as a good trading city? :D

    Indeed, entering from space now also brings you to Celeste.

    More reason to make it a trading city :D

    This should be interesting. I'm also looking forward to seeing the Quarry. And adding Celeste as the arrival city for space landers should bring even more GD to the area (or so I hope).

    He gave us a ride on his chopper. Too bad the chopper didn't have any machine gun mounts, or else those mobs would be chop meat. :D

    Ahhh, if only we could target planet-side mobs with mounts. The carnage would be massive. :)

    This is a great idea. A great place to introduce the new players to Celeste and the game.

    My 2 cents, that I have told Cyrus online:

    - Make spawn more close to the tp; when sweating, or beginning hunting, you die several times, and reaching fast your point is important; plus, having spawn close helps seeing GD on radar, and facilitates gathering, IMO.
    - Create a revival OUTSIDE the command post. Dont need to say why.

    When creating an entry point for newcomers, one should have in mind ease of use: that is why Calypso sweat camp is horrible, IMO, and that is why Old Swamp Camp, VU9 was optimal (or VU9 Nea's TOO, btw). The athmosphere of old VU9 swamp camp is what one should aim to, in my opinion.

    Agreed. Its always better to have GDs visible from the TP @ all times to esure complete newbies thats nether been there can easaly find the rest of the group and dont think the place is "dead" when they get there.

    As for the rest good job guys :)

    I agree with your feedback, having had a look there today the mobs do need to come closer to the TP. The longer term plan is to create a whole new building for the quarry which will have the revive outside. The command post is a temporary building while we test the area and look to fine tune it.

    What ideas do you guys have for the building. I'm thinking a curved building that fits into the Quarry nicely, maybe 2 levels with a bar/lounge upstairs and a big curved balcony. Maybe even a few shops downstairs that could stock new player gear would be good too.

    Exilent idea David and can already imagine how it will look :)
    Just an extra note on the second story of the building or telivaters in the building, Perhaps you can connect the top of the quary with the bottom because its fatal to newbies who jump off the top of the quary to get to the bottom "took 97.x damage when I jumped off last night".
    You can also perhaps add a landing pad or 2 for VTOLS that deliver newbies.
