= Space Station Interior =
== Description ==
[wiki:FabianLandau I] will build the interior of the space station with GTK-Radiant, an open-source editing tool.
Some models and special effects will be added later.
The player will be able to walk through some parts of the space station to reach his room, the bar, the shop and the hangar. It is, somehow, an interactive menu.

=== Sketches and Ideas ===
In accord with [wiki:SamBoegli Sam] and his [wiki:SpaceStationExterior exterior model] of the space station, i've done a first sketch on how I want to build the station.
===== Top View =====

As you can see, I intend to build the room and the bar around the central tower. The tower is somehow like a tube with the rooms placed around a big hole in the middle. The hole is traversed by several bridges and surrounded by a gallery. You can look up and down the hole and you will see numerous other levels, but you won't reach them (look at the Zion screenshot under [wiki:SpaceStationInterior#inspiration inspiration]).[[br]]
Your level has two doors: One is locked, the other leads to the hangars.
As it would be very boring walking from the room to the hangar and vice versa, the screen will fade to black as soon as you enter the door. After fading back, you find yourself in front of the hangar.
The hangars are separated, so each ship has its own hangar. The player will see through the door into the next hangar, but the way is locked. I don't want to confuse the player with 30 hangars.[[br]]
Right behind the hangar you find the shop, where you can buy weapons and other equipment.
===== Tower =====

As described in the Top View, the Tower is hollow. In the middle are bridges and flying elevators, moving up and down. The rooms are arranged as a ring. If you look up or down the tower you see several other levels, fading out in the far.
The handrails are transparent, maybe red, which creates a futuristic look. In the middle is a hologram, changing periodically its shape.
Most of the rooms will be locked and you won't be able to go to an upper or lower level. Door 2 is broken, you can only access Door 1. In the cinema, you will see some animated textures, but you can't enter. You can only enter the bar or your personal room.
As soon as you go through door 1, the screen fades out to black and the hangar appears.
===== Bar =====

In the bar you get jobs and you talk to NPCs. The main element in the bar is the framework, holding the ceiling. The ambiance is a bit mysterious, there are just some small lights. The walls are covered by a wallpaper, showing blocks of stone. On several places, the wallpaper is destroyed, so you see the rusty metal of the space station. There will be some other ancient requisits, but in the background are still some modern elements of the space station.
===== Hangar =====

The hangar is linked with the tower through a long corridor. But to shorten the distance, you get teleported as soon as you enter the corridor. The teleporting is shown as a fadeout to black.
In the hangar, you park the ship. In the front, there's the sluice to the outer space. Vis-à-vis of the corridor you find the door to the next hangar, but its locked. But you can peep through a gap in the door. Behind the ship you can enter the shop, where you get new ships and equipment.
The main element in the hangar are the four holes in the ground. Several pipes and tubes go into those holes. There are also several technical on the walls, like ventilators, flues, pipes, fences and ports. The ceiling is hold by several beams. The ceiling itself has no contact to the walls, there's a gap between the walls and the ceiling element, filled by tubes an pipes.
I'll try to integrate some particle effects, to add steam and smoke, ascending from the holes in the ground and exhausting from pipes.
