If anyone were to, say, create a good Spacebuild map, would it be put on the server? Forlorn either needs an update or a new map

What do you guys want in a Spacebuild 3 map to make it as likable or better than Forlorn?
As of this moment you and are have been declared TROLLS guess we better go found our bridge and beware those goats!
also if you make one make it so you can see space from the planets (like new worlds)
that way people can see space battles from earth and i think it just looks better

Any more ideas? i like them

-Dont try to make fancy stuff like a teleport of props.
Keep in mind your doing a map for gmod spacebuild, meaning, we can noclip outside building(lag bunker) so close it TOTALLY. You don't need planet with Tons of shit in it, keep it simple.
Beside that, don't forget to make ressources in those lag bunkers and design it so we can hook up a pump outside to our ship once ready, keeping every LS stuff inside the lag bunker
And, Lotsa lag bunker! I mean, we often see 10 player online, so, 10 lag bunker, hudge bunker. Or some hudge, some smaller...
LAG BUNKERS TOO!
...Um. I have no idea what you're trying to say here, other than stuff about lag bunkers.
Only one would be needed, to be honest. They're for building stuff without having to render or receive packets from outside sources. Won't help much with LS.

Forlorn's lag bunker shares air resources with the planet it's within, the spawn planet.
If the lag bunker is a cube, I could make it have its own atmosphere! Having a cube lag bunker would look wierd, wouldn't it? And it would have to be inside a huge object.
Would you guys mind if the lag bunker is inside the star and cube, or inside of a planet and more along the lines of the dimensions of Forlorn's lag bunker?
Map Idea!
I want to base the map off of a real star system. How about Gliese 581? It's pretty interesting- Wikipedia, TIME Article
1. Use a cool looking space skybox, those maps look so cool!
2. Like other people have said, try not to make too much fancy moving stuff or anything that will increase the entity count of the server. We already have such a huge problem with overflows when loading maps.
3. The planets spheres on gm_galactic look great. I would recommend doing something similar to what he did.
But it looked crappy b/c the stars that shined or were bigger than a freckle gave the skybox and the illusion of space away!
So if you (or anybody) could post a link to a large, large space image I could cut into a skybox, it COULD be in the map!
Interesting space skyboxes are a bitch, though. A star box is easy, but.. Nebula's and whatnot, all the sexy stuff.. Hard to blend.
If you can find a picture of a nebula with black behind it as well as a nice large star picture, you'll be in the credits picture!
Plus I can't be on the server at all. But I will be on the forums occasionally!
I'm saying this so everybody knows im not dead again. :P
