Landing Zone: Levski

[icycalm]

Levski, Nyx's sole landing zone, was demonstrated fully working in last year's CitCon, so first of all don't miss that presentation I've timestamped.

It's a station built in a borehole on an asteroid. Doesn't get any more unique than this. And it's a lawless system so we'll need a Pirate Commander for it. And we'll need him soon because it's almost certain we'll get the system before the end of the year. Some people even hope we'll get it in PTU at CitCon. Either way, it's coming fast, so watch the video to prepare, and I'll keep us up to date with news and rumors like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/co ... _datamined

NYX SSN voice reports have been datamined...

Jared voicing some news reports talking about a faction smuggling Vanduul bodies in from Nyx.

Becoming a lot more apparent they may pull another Pyro and shove Nyx into a final patch for year's end...

Nyx borders Vanduul space and gets Vanduul raids, and all this ties nicely with the downed Blade and the cage in the Onyx Facilities in Dark Territory. It makes sense for the plot to lead to Nyx.

Amazing stuff. A TV show you can play.

Nyx's landing zone, Levski, used to be in the game many years ago. It was placed in Stanton to test it, and because back then they didn't have sufficient tech to build it on an asteroid as in the lore, they built it on a moon. Then they took out Levski and the moon I think about a year or so before we started playing three years ago. And I think they chose to take it out at that point because that's when they completed Stanton with all four planets and landing zones. And btw they are called landing zones because in the original design document, as in CR's older games, there wouldn't have been any FPS, there would only be spaceship mechanics, and when you arrived at a location that was accessible the game would basically turn into a point-and-click adventure game within that "landing zone". Then when they figured out how to render entire planets in CryEngine they still kept the landing zone moniker even though now you can land anywhere there is... land.

So Levski is a landing zone much loved and missed by the community since it was in the game for years, and there is quite a bit of material on it online, the best of which I plan to collect and post here before CitCon so we can catch up to what existed before the stunning update seen in last year's presentation I linked in the OP. And we might as well start with a decade-old preview that rocks so hard despite its age that it still blows away practically any game released this year. After all, no such landings are possible in the megahit Dune: Awakening.
