  • The Great Dunes

    A view from the doorstep: http://www.marsdaily.com/reports/San...eauty_999.html
    I am on a mission to see how much coffee it takes to actually achieve time travel.

    Cool picture. *Fails to see how it has anything to do with SMAC*
    But, interesting picture none the less. I have always been interested in the mars rover missions myself, especially how they were only supposed to last 3 months and both are still going after 5 years.
    I got scolded in Bold letters by Iluminatus.
    That makes me sad. :(

    I can't use smilies in my signature that makes me even more sad. :(

      Mars Scenario perhaps?

        Since "The Great Dunes" is a landmark in the game, I took the picture in the link to represent what it might actually look like.

          I should clearly include links to my obscure references lest I am misunderstood.

            I envisioned the Dunes looking similar to one of these. I am partial to the second one only it would be more wavy.


            Images are from the game StarKnights.

                  It's told in the SMAC manual: one of the novels being the inspiration for Brian Reynolds was Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson, the first opus in his Martian Trilogy.
                  A must-read for every SMAC-lover.
