orbital structures

from GalCiv2 Forums
Now gal civ 2 has a dynamic city light generator that creates lights on the surface in line with population why not something like that for obital structures. i mean your suposed to have a spacefaring race and what kind of space faring race is not going to have some kind of obital stations to sopport its planets even if all you see on screen is a few lights in orbit it would look better

The galciv2 kind. Ships now appear in orbit in DA, anything else would be clutter.

Small low orbit space stations like our current one are not that great because they are too deep in the earth's gravity well. This makes flights in and out too energy expensive. A better place is an L2 point, like half way between the earth and the moon ... in GalCiv2 these are the StarBases !!!!!!

In GalCiv2 when you build a med/large hull "defender" ship, that would be the equlivant of a low orbit station.
