Terrain: Swamp

Start of transmission #01.

"Finally arrived at Livgorn. Truly, a forsaken place. It was almost impossible to find a proper landing spot on the sites marked as "interesting" on satellite images... either wild jungles or frozen marshes there, both biomes allowing no possibilities to safely land. I'll better let our explorers deal with there places.

Deployed surface sensors and analyzers as soon as the spot was more or less cleared. Awesomnium confirmed, extraction possible. However, the proper on-site analysis requires 6 days more. And I'll have to stay here all this time.

Need to finish the cupola now - it will provide at least some safety both from environment and who-knows-what living here. I've already heard some strange noises... so I'd better finish before nightfall."

That dome in the background is very cool!

[Bob De Quatre]

So you're the first to post a freebuild! I'll award you some bonus credits!.. Just kidding

I've corrected your title as there is no need for prefix tags.

Nice forced perspective. I'd love to see a colored picture.

[WickNole]

Not a forced perspective, actually.

More pictures will surely follow.

[Lady K]

Nicely done! I like the effect the black/white photo has in combination with your story.

[narbilu]

I really like the use of focus in the picture. It really makes the foilage and structures come out fantastic.

Nice haircut btw

[LittleJohn]

Great build! I really like the foliage

[Kai NRG]

The use of black and white really makes this stand out! Great work on the dome in the background, looking forward to seeing more pictures!

[Boxerlego]

That looks amazing! Excellent start I have just reported from Landing on to Jen's Star.

I agree with much of the above. The photography makes the scene look great and full of atmosphere.

I'd love to see this in color!

Now you've got the other pictures added, I love the look of it even more.

[Lady K]

Thanks for the color pictures, the detail really comes through now. I like that dense vegetation!

[pombe]

This is a great build with great photography. Thanks to your first encounter, the rest of Octan has been able to explore and establish a presence on H05.

[Zaael]

Nice build!! I like the dense foliage and the dome. Hadn't noticed the color pics before.

[Big Sal]

A great build that looks good both with and without colour - great job! And nice story to go with it.

Beautiful! I love that dome and the rest of the scene is very effective
