NMS Steampunk Series Vol. 3: Battle of New Hampton Roads. This is a historic site of the famous Ironclad Airship Battle during the Eloi/Morlock Civil War. After the 2nd Eloi/Morlock War both races united and lived peaceably for many years though there was always a underlying tension due to the fact that the Morlock regions oppressed and subjugated the local Korvax to slave labor. War erupted after the Morlock regions seceded from the Eloi/Morlock union. While initially the war was over region rights it ultimately became about the freeing of the Korvax. Unfortunately it took a century for the Korvax to eventually have equal rights. Explore both the Eloi (USS New Monitor) and Morlock (CSS New Virginia) Ironclad airships. Teleporters provide easy access to both. Explore the armament and crew quarters. A small monument marks the location of the first and only engagement of the ironclads. Enjoy amazing views from the balloon observatory deck. For the more adventurous, jet pack to and from the ironclads. We hope you enjoy your visit to this historic site.
Notes
Please allow time for base to render in. Also if base icon doesn’t appear when making the first portal jump, try to go back and try again. I’ve found since the Beyond update I have to retry portal jumps when the base icon doesn’t appear. Please leave communications stations at the portal.
Up is a tourist destination site which is a tribute to the Traveller from Earth, Carl Fredricksen and his cohorts Russell and Dug. Legend has it that Carl’s balloon house landed at this location eons ago. Though no one is certain for sure, historians believe Carl helped the original inhabitants of the planet stave off a apocalyptic event. Apparently the planet’s atmosphere was evaporating due to some unknown force but Carl caused this to reverse by him releasing some of the helium from a few of his balloons which caused a chemical reaction to the atmosphere which started to replenish itself. In thanks to Carl, Russell and Dug, a replica of his house was erected and many monuments placed throughout the site to honor them saving the planet. Not much is know about who erected this site for they left the planet roughly 1,042 years ago and no one is sure where they resettled. Most historians believe they have become nomadic and look out to help other planets in peril. We hope you visit this historical heritage site. Explore inside Carl’s house. Visit the hidden “balloon botanical garden”. Explore the Blue Shroom Cavern and hidden spa but beware cavern entrance is booby trapped with neurotoxic flora, be prepared! For the more adventurous explore the underwater caves and submerged statues. Listen to one of Russell’s music compositions in the 420 Studio/lounge in the attic of the house. Much of this system’s discoveries are unnamed and visitors are encouraged to discovery these and name them after favorite film characters. Enjoy your stay!
Notes
I tend to push the base building complexity limit so there might be some pop in and rendering when trying to land on the landing pad so please keep that in mind when approaching. There are storms about every 10 minutes which last roughly 3 minutes. We encourage visitors to wait out the storms by exploring inside the house and botanical garden as well as the caverns. Also if base icon doesn’t appear when making the first portal jump, try to go back and try again. I’ve found since the Beyond update I have to retry portal jumps when the base icon doesn’t appear.
Castle Grayskull is a tribute to 80’s cartoon show He-Man. This build was also a shout out to No Man’s Sky Youtuber, Cobra TV, who on one of his shows mentioned his love for He-Man and thought it would be cool for someone to build him a Castle Grayskull. So I built one. Enjoy your visit and please leave a comm ball at the portal and tell me where are you from.
Notes
If base doesn’t show up on first portal jump trying going back and try again. I have found that sometimes bases don’t load on the first portal jump. Enjoy your visit.
