Someone help me. There's an illustrator who is famous for drawing this sort of megastructure in this sort of style. Not unlike Homeworld. Someone very specific. I've been looking for him but can't remember.

It is a cloning machine, and they mistake it for a teleporter. Her love died, and she will never know.

It's a thing in the world Simon Stalenhag created that there are strange constructs scattered all over this small town. Like a sphere where you can hear echoes of your future.
So if you were into the "Tales from the Loop" and other stuff he does then it then you might guess teleporter that's really just a cloning machine.

honestly that just sounds fucking stupid. Maybe you should rather read some Vernor Vinge. With him at least the height of stupidity is collectivist dogs and not useless contraptions that have no benefit whatsoever.

hypothetically, if they were to make the glass out of alluminum it would be very scratch resistant. hell, i bet thin sheets are relatively cheap so you could put silicon glass underneath with a mirrored surface in between to make it somewhat possible. but im not a material scientist, so theres probably subtleties here.

>>8056617
Aluminum is softer than glas, it should be even easier to scratch.

>>8056640
>Aluminum is softer than glas,(sic) it should be even easier to scratch.
imagine being this dumb.
first off, your sentence illustrates a basic illiteracy. glass is a type of material, it can be made from a variety of things. aluminum glass is one example. silica glass is another (the kind most residential windows are made of). secondly, aluminum glass is significantly harder than silica glass. literal first result on google:
>It is four times as hard as fused silica glass, 85% as hard as sapphire, and nearly 115% as hard as magnesium aluminate spinel.
not only is it harder than silica glass, but its hard enough that sand will not scratch it because its harder than the sand.

They're going to start work on "The Line" right after they finish their hyperloop. Which is to say never as they're both public finance scams.

This one pisses me off because it's curved in two directions. It makes no sense for spin gravity.

His stuff has gotten worse with ever outing. Tales from the Loop was good, the one with the VR headsets was passable, but the recent one where aliens terraform the earth into an ammonia biosphere was just wasted opportunity, he just phoned it in.

More of Niven's Ringworld, please. This one is nice but a bit "abstract" or schematic.

>>8066119
>>8066118
>>8066117
Cool. I have tried many times to imagine what the horizon looks like on the sides of the ring.

>>8066119
Here it seems very narrow in the distance and at the same time earthly in the front. I remember they tried to fly from the edge and flew for a very long time. But I like how the arc horizon is depicted.

>>8066138
Given the limits of human vision, it probably looks flat. Maybe a little upwards at the edges of sight. Normal ringers don't get hovertech, and are all living subsistence farmer lives. The RW wasn't supposed to have a mountain, either.

The Covvys are cheap poser knockoffs of Forrunner tech and styles. "Oh, you can use use to do this. OK, so what about instead using this engineering principle to make some miracle machine, I instead make a helmet out of it?"
Not that anon, but I can agree that Bungie made some cool looking foes out of basic dnd monsters.

you are aware of what the sci mean right?
sci-fi =/= space fantasy

>>8078960

basically that's not true and you're just being a douche for no reason.

>>8078972
Eh, depends on the setting. Star Wars is mostly fantasy, Star Trek pretends to be more science than fantasy. Alien is probably mostly science, although i have no idea if an organism like the Alien is biologically feasible.

Man, I liked ECHO. It had some seriously questionable design choices, and it was slow as molasses at times, but it had an unimpeachable art style and felt like nothing else.

>>8032697
Space elevators would probably be insanely impractical but I find them cool

>>8055623
What a jolly people

>>8078976
I get that you mean there are very different approaches but pretending that "science fantasy" is an agreed upon and commonly used distinction is wrong. The only somewhat commonly used distinction are sci-fi and hard sci-fi. There are of course other descriptors, but these are mainly used by writers and readers of specific subgenres, not the broad masses. It's kinda like with metal genres.

>>8066138
If you look directly perpendicular to the ring it probably looks flat, but as you turn towards the sides it would curve upwards. Probably, I'm not an expert.

Here's a few that someone made in second life. Unfortunately these were all they had saved.

What's the story behind this, if there is one?

>>8073040
it fucked up the red-white striping on those towers along the rim, if i somehow saw this in literally less than 10 seconds of looking at it there's probably more issues

if you aren't autistic it's probably not a problem though

>>8027973
Anon, people do dumb shit like this already, on some city squares you fry eggs in the summer, nevermind absurd shit like>>8029220
Besides some trees won't do shit when you fucked with the ecosystem enough to turn the whole planet into a city so it stands to reason that they have methods to regulate climate like space mirrors which are a century old concept at this point
Now the fun part starts when such a planet has energy or supply issues and suddenly shit starts going down fast
Fall of Hyperion had a similar case, though more of a sidenote than the general setting, but I still highly recommend the first two books to everyone that's into scifi
It also had an interesting megastructure in line with the thread, Tethys an artificial river spanning multiple planets

just remove it, with photoshop you literally just select it and hit delete and it will fill in with what would reasonably have been there
