At which planets do you like to “park” your starship?

Some of the planets in this game have beautiful artwork.

Others provide better lighting for you to examine the finer details of a new ship. (Speaking of, I recently got a new ship. Anyone have any planet recommendations?)

So- which planets and space stations are your favorites?

    I like hanging out at Romulus. It's really bright and pretty and I can adjust the camera view to make the moon align with the planet so it looks like the Death Star (I'm apparently easily amused).

    When I had the Borg Cube as my ship, I would usually sit at DS9, also out of amusement because the cube would totally squash it.

    I just like parking at Deep Space Nine and watching the Frieghters go by in the background

    I used to always park overnight at Arloff IX, because purple is my favorite color. Then it was Risa, when I was searching for the Ktarian Headset. Lately, it’s been DS9, to observe those freighters you mentioned. 🖖🏻

    I do that or sometimes I go straight to the wormhole for an up close look.

    The Bounty behind Saturn rings, looks kinda menacing there.

    I usually just park at Earth or wherever I am after visiting the last faction store of the day. When I have a mind to park somewhere pretty, I’ll go to Cytheria.

    Same here. Though I prefer the soft blues of Ferenginar.

    Definitely NOT Regulus. When that space station turns, the light behind it is WAY too bright

    I prefer Earth as a reminder to check for JMR. My son likes to park at DS9 and try to position himself so that the freighters fly through him.

    I just like warping with the shenzou around, it looks cool.
    Let’s fly!

    Pretty much the same, but I always adjust the camera so I get a cinematic view of my ship, usually with the star gleaming off of the hull

    Cytheria is nice like Dirk mentioned.

    I love the space noise (noise meaning the static-y look?) at Klaestron, especially because it's purple which is my favourite colour.

    But my all-time favourite places are the sun. Here is the Dopterian one, look at those beautiful scarlets, oranges, and yellows.

    And here's my top choice, the Volchok Sun. The sun is such a beautiful auraic gold, so radiant yet not garishly so. And then there's the beautiful violet of the background cosmos and space noise. Violet and yellow are complimentary colours so maybe that's why it's so visually appealing to me.

    Did they ever fix the graphic issues at Cytheria? Haven't been there lately.

    Risa is nice.

    Dopteria (Ferengi Traditionalist) is a good place to examine ship details. Most other places are too dark.

    I like the way the ship gets warped when you block the sun with it at Dopteria.5p6at3lc0vqd.png

    Over a year later, and I still really enjoy the CG at the various planets. Those of you who have been around a while may remember a thread about this last year on the old forums: Eye candy. In it, I mentioned the Caretaker's Array for its "juxtaposition of both cosmic and man-made wonders" — but I also really dig visiting the one A Blues Fan mentioned as a favorite (even if a still photo doesn't do it justice)...

    Could you please continue the petty bickering? I find it most intriguing.

    Well...Nacene-made wonders.

    Point taken. ;) Would you accept "both natural and fabricated"? :p

    I usually park around Cor Caroli V - aside from being easy to get back to after going off on cadet missions, and always needing more holoprograms, it's a nice relaxing colour scheme. And quite often when I'm switching back from another tab it'll take a second or two for all the layers or whatever to appear - the full texture of the planet surface, the 'smokiness' of the nebula backgrounds - and some planets look a bit rubbish when that happens, but Cor Caroli is still a nice view even in low-res.

    Although sometimes if I'm sending shuttles to get a particular 4* item I'll park around whatever faction planet they come from to remind myself.

    After wandering around the galaxy during Phase 2 of the latest Hybrid event, I decided to start parking here:

    I hope it will be friends with me. 🖖🏻

    I guess I don't really have any specific places I park, just where ever I ended up last.

    Lately, I've been shrinking my Sphere and making it look like an asteroid. (:

    I only built it maybe a week ago, so it's still new to me.

    I went to Mars today just for kicks. Can't believe I haven't noticed it before but there's a tiny shuttle flying around where you dock. Cute!

    Wish I had her leveled a bit more, as it is she looks good only. I swap and change my ship around a lot, to see how it looks in different environments. We have a whole thread on our Discord server devoted to game art :smiley:

    I like the nebula in the background from Alpha Onias (I think it's II, wherever the cadet parking spot is).
