Writing and art-ing "Chronicles of the Sillage" when time allows...

Almost did the same, but I ended up settling west of Mysa Tarill, on the edge of the Shield Wall. Nice view out the windows, and the buggy has direct access to a shitton of Aluminium/Copper/Basalt !

Close to a tradepost, right next to the Atreides fortress, a crashed ship and the edge of the map...

Atreides Assault with Harko swatch awkwardly fitting in a tight space, I see you're a lizard of Culture !
Though I'm still working with an advanced console, it's already a bit tight as-is, so I can't even imagine how painful a standard would be...

Sillage Control, 113, confirm visual on a scouting swarm in orbit around AGS337, about 7k units. No visual on the main constituent, it seems to be snooping around for jump tra...

Wait...
Oh no...

Control, 113, we are spotted, request immediate support !

"It seems the outcome of the meeting with the Aliens was important enough for them to, somehow, displace the Borelia back to orbit. The Princess of Naalis, acting as spokesperson for the delegation, will address the high council of the Paranational Union tomorrow..."

Sillage Control, Jumpback complete, group 37 has been dropped near the Gas Giant, at position 331 from reference point. The seventh Calrihan lifebarge really didn't like the jump though, lost a few hull panels. It's probably not gonna last much longer...

- Nothing special, no. We just introduce ourselves, deliver the warning, offer the usual help for relocation and integration, and ask to get down to the star. Let's hope they get it...

You... can.
Granted, it's not as seamless as just CTRL+V into the node editor, but in the image editor there's a paste action that works with the OS clipboard. You can then quickly drag and drop from the image selector icon up top to easily create an image texture node out of it.

Indeed ! Kind of a coincidence if these look so alike, but it is part of it.

That said, I would be more interested in seeing Thargoid stuff. I'm a sucker for organic ships (NMS living ships, Wraiths from SGA, Ghosts from Nexus, etc), and interceptors (Basilisk my beloved) are so incredibly sexy...
August 28, 2025 at 7:34 PM
Please, please, please let it be some stuff that leads to either a Guardian or Thargoid ship.

Like, I dunno, "turns out Salvation lives, uploaded himself in the Guardian network and is coming back with an armada of Guardian warships, and we need help from the Thargs", or something cool like that !
