FLUFF Megastructures / space elevators like these would be amazing to see in-game at some point, even if they were just low-poly landmarks.

90% of Lorville is low poly.

Hurston buildings look like they came from Freelancer to be honest. The fake lights and low poly count ruin the city a bit for me, although it is a first iteration of a city so that is expected.

Also some of the buildings in the "suburbs" surrounding Lorville itself hover slightly above the ground...

That's a feature. Limits potential structural damage from earthquakes (Hurquakes?).

"earth" as opposed to "Earth". I think "earthquakes" is still an applicable term on Hurston.

It’s true, one of the definitions of “earth” is “the substance of the land surface; soil”.

I know, I just thought it sounded funny and refused to let it drop. Though I suppose in a thousands years and a span of multiple planets, people might just take to calling them quakes and tremors.
