With this style of building Nargyle Corporation have enabled any corporation or private party to erect a large number of habitation blocks all at once, cutting costs and decreasing build times. Each building has four separate hab blocks to help with containment in the case of civil disobedience and to improve structural stability.
The expense of such construction normally comes at too high a cost to be considered for buildings in the low status outer districts like District XXII. and are beyond the imaginings of the communities of corporate-less kindred who dwell in the outland deserts. District I. on the other hand, and a fair few of the buildings in the districts close to Central are fully funded by the Mega-Corps or their subsidiaries and as such most of the housing is corporately owned.
In the last corporate war such buildings quickly became the focal point for individual corporate affiliates to gather. Quickly forming ad-hoc militias to protect their own interests or being manipulated by their corporation from on high, huge amounts of damage and destruction quickly ensued and even when the local authorities tried to take control with Peacekeepers this was often not enough and eventually in many Wards lead to unavoidable deployment of Peacemaker Legionaries to eradicate the problem.
The first stage of construction is to create a Plascreate frame which is erected in the shape of the building. This frame is constructed with channels running through its entire structure these channels will be pumped full of pathfinder protein particles over a period of hours. Once the pathfinder proteins start to fill the channels within the frame and completely cover the base of the building, Loramid culture cells are activated at the base starting the process of mitosis, resulting in Loramid Fibron Threads growing rapidly as they consume the pathfinder proteins being pumped in ahead of their growth. This creates a dense fibrous interior to the plascreate framework that is many times better at resisting damage and strain than if the plascreate had simply been cast directly onto steel girders. What is more it is the Loramid Fribron that holds up the increased weight of the structure as it continues to consume its way to the finished height of the building. The heat generated from this process is considerable and construction of such a building is often known as ‘cookin’. Those who are not enamoured with this style of construction tend to refer to such structures as ‘shake n’bakes’. The areas where no pathfinder was present in the frame remained as voids, such voids could be small and linear such as service pipe ducting other voids are considerable, such as those required for doorways and windows. Before instillation, window panels are layered with a substance such as Phototropix to keep light glare down and help with ambient temperature.

Also ich persönlich fand die einzeln schon hässlich, ein ganzer Block macht es auch nicht besser 🙂
Ein ganzer Straßenzug hat natürlich was, macht bei dem eher neumodischen Design auch Sinn eine Stadt zu zeigen, aber ich mag den District nicht so sehr und werde mich an den alten District halten, der hat mehr charm finde ich.
An so einem großen Gebäude gefallen mir die Octagonalen Fenster nicht so, auch wenn ich schon weis, dass man so tatsächlich mal Hochhäuser gebaut hat, auch wenn die achteckigen Gucklöcher dann nur Verblendungen vor klassischen viereckigen Fenstern waren. Ich würde mir das nicht kaufen.
Ich mag die Sachen von 4Grounds eigentlich sehr, aber bei ihrem 10mm SciFi Gelände spricht mich so gar nichts an. Fühle mich beim Anblick da eher an 70er/80er Jahre Tapeten erinnert.
So stell ich mir die Heimat von Sido und Cindy aus Marzahn vor, aber nicht die paradiesischen Kernwelten in DZC. Sorry, nicht ganz meins
Viel schlimmer ist sicherlich, dass der Wachturm aus den Fabled Realms vorbestellt werden kann… Und das bei dem momentanen Pfundkurs *heul*
Ich fühle mit Dir und dabei wollte ich auch noch die Taverne haben.
Ich geh mal wieder Lotto spielen :-/
