Well, it's just a teaser, something you can look at to know, that work on the Sapphire Sequel has just begun. It is very likely that the exterior parts will only consist of brown/orange/beige rock variants and some blue water but no vegetation or stuff like that. You will also find some buildings and installations that will remind you off the Space Station from Sapphire 1 so don't worry, you will get your variation
Well, to be honest, that texture doesn't look anywhere near good as a wall texture.
It's terrible. Use something that doesn't repeat itself so much it's sickening. Use something that doesn't look like a 1996 amateur 3D rendition's texture.
I'm drooling over your skybox, I will make a map that is similar to yours (a space base in the middle of, well, Space!) and I really want to know how you did that skybox. How you use HI-Res pictures without being screwed by the game?
