Landing on Bases

Does every base have a different "look" to it? I mean, of the 48 or whatever bases you can land on, do they all have different artwork and landing pads, and do all the bars look the same? That was one of the things that annoyed me about Privateer, how generic every base looked.

No, from what I've heard from our PR and Beta peoples... every base and associated bar has a different look... although some will be slightly similar if they're in the same part of space eg. Kusari, Liberty, etc...

Any updates on my interpretation?

There is definitely some variety involved between the different places you land. Many have a theme based on the space you're in like Kusari or the Outcasts. There are some similarities of course, but the cut scenes are all different as you land. Bars are not all the same. Some have the same sort of seating arrangement, but different ambiances and decorations.

Its NOT 48 bases. Its 48 star systems with a lot of planets and bases on them.

That's even better. I can't wait to see how each of the 168 places to land look Thanks for the info, guys.

That just gives you an idea as of why it has taken DA so long to make this such a great game. Imagine that, you don't have a generic bar type where every few look the same. Instead DA took the time to specifically render tiny differences among 168 bars, wow! If they are that meticulous about such a tiny deatil as that imagine how much better the wait has made other sapects of the game

yes but then again, for the main parts the bars do look like, battleships of each house all have the same bars, space stations oftenly have the same bars, But something you will not grow tired of are the landing scenes, they are very good, you get a good look of the surroundings of the place you are at, wether it's a city or a hughe ocean

Landing scenes all different. That is really nice. I remember playing Privateer and wishing the landings on different worlds were more diverse. 48 systems,
165 or is it 168 places to land and all potentially different from one another, with
mood music to boot. They'll have to cut the power to my house before I stop.

45 systems in MP, there are 3 systems but those can only be accessed in SP since they are part of the story line. And of those 45 there are 2 hidden, and hold something you would never expect! Nothing more said
