Grineer engineers are hipsters, and screw propulsion fits them perfectly: low tech, amphibious, complete disregard for the environment.
It’s probably named some word corruption variant of Archimedes: Kimeda, Arkimera, Arkmeda?
Pseudo WIP, might return to give it some more details at a later date.

The rust clawing at the ancient foundations grows impatient, The I-beams will glimmer as they collapse into Calibans engulfing oceans, her foam and spray sharply washing away the tears.
Thank you for all the Memories…

Mesa 5: Mid City
An addendum to the regularly scheduled Mesa 5 PhotoCollection, 360 views.
even if it’s still a beta WIP feature, i’m so glad this feature becaame available before I have to close Mesa.
At least with the new SL-wide prim increase you’ll be able to bring back some semblance of it even with a homestead, if you wanted. ;_;

I don’t die so easy. A storm is brewing.

Doomed Ship
A relic from the days of SL past, Doomed Ship was the most atmospheric horror sim around. Now there’s nothing left but an empty, lonely shell on the mainland.
The amount of detail and atmosphere Sveid manages to cram into the sim is honestly inspirational to me. The amazing part is that it’s all pre-mesh&materials, and still looks amazing and immersive to this day.
Sadly it sits beneath the double edged sword of Adult content. on the one, having adult content makes it harder to advertise and showcase these amazing builds (fun story: first time i ever ventured there, I got lost and thought I had to use a teleporter to progress deeper into the build… it wasn’t a teleporter!). On the other, it tends to attract a lot of people who enjoy that stuff and forms a solid little community.
From what little i’m aware of events, it appears that the move to mainland required them to strip out the majority/all of the sexual elements, killing the appeal to that core part of its community.
I still try and visit occasionally in the hope Sveid has started to experiment with materials and mesh. It’s bittersweet to know that the theme of the build lets you be the only person on the region and still feel immersed in both the weaved and actual desolation of Doomed Ship.

Photos alone cannot do justice to the sim’s complexity, detail, and creativity.
