    SUBJECT: Mission No. 47842 "Asteroid" Participant Acceptance

    Thank you [REDACTED] for applying to be one of the participants in the National Aeronautics and Vehicular Destruction Administration (NAVDA) mission to explore the Near-Earth object [REDACTED]. We have reviewed the application you provided us on July 19, 1968 and have decided to accept you into the prestigious position. Congratulations.
    Your mission shall launch on December 25, 1968 at approximately 9:00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time. You and three other select crew members shall launch to the asteroid
    [REDACTED] for in-depth physical research of this mysterious celestial body. This mission is projected to last five years and travel time shall take between one and one-and-a-half years to arrive at [REDACTED]. According to our researchers, there have been a multitude of high-frequency radio signals broadcasting towards our planet from [REDACTED]. In addition to this, our high-powered telescope "The Eye" has seen multiple pulses of purple light emanating from [REDACTED]. You and your crew members must investigate the cause of this and, if applicable, retrieve a sample for further review.
    In the event that there is unavoidable physical harm, you and your crew members have been provided with military grade
    [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. Included in your launch shuttle is a smaller emergency rocket that may be utilized in the event of unavoidable physical harm. However, this rocket is only to be used as a last resort and unauthorized usage of the rocket will be considered treason against the country and shall be dealt with accordingly.
    Training for your mission begins on December 9th, 1968 at
    [REDACTED]. We shall see you there.


    Sincerely,
    [REDACTED]
    [REDACTED]

    Map Info
    The Map is currently in the Work-In-Progress stage and shall be released reasonably soon. The idea around the map is driving around an asteroid that is being mined for its alien resources. Naturally, the map takes place in a low-gravity environment. There's also going to be some crystal growths hidden around the map.

    Still to Do:
    Add stars to the sky, somehow. Probably need some help with this.
    Add custom music, preferably the Blue Danube Waltz. (will need help with this)
    Terrain smoothing and adding surface craters.
    Some more objects

    Here's some screenshots of the map so far:






    NOTE: If you spawn in the map with normal Earth gravity (-9.8), place the below environment.lua file into your lua/ge/extensions/core/ directory and replace the old file.

    Alright, first Beta released! For those worried, replacing the environment.lua file with the one provided will have
    no ill effects on the rest of the game.

    Are you sure? They're Imgur links and they're showing up on my side of the spectrum.

    EDIT: Okay so I accidentally deleted a folder, have to fix it.
    --- Post updated ---
    Alrighty, now I've fixed my screw ups. There's still one missing texture on the tail of the emergency rocket but the file has just vanished completely so I can't really do much about it.
