Things from the Old Universe I'd like to see in the New Universe

Oct 03, 2004 Phaserlight link
The old universe (circa VT 3.3) had some pretty darn cool places to hang out, and I think the current universe could truly benefit by having some of the old station/asteroid models put into certain sectors.

In particular I am thinking of:

The huge mining station from sector 7

The giant, hollow, mined-out asteroid from sector 13

The thick shattered ice cluster from sector 8

The hollow comet from sector 14

The cracked asteroid with the hidden station inside from sector 10

The race tracks from sectors 40-45

I'm assuming the devs have kept the models for all these cool places, why not put them into the new universe? I've seen how powerful LUA 4 is; it wouldn't even take a new update since objects can be created on-the-fly.

Yeah, in some ways the old sectors had far more personality. I'd love to see something like that in the new, expanded world. Something other than miles and miles of identical component stations.

The agile Hornet!

The rockets that could only be equipped to a single port.

The stationary defense turrets at stations.

The old windmill style stations (maybe easter egg?).

Yup. A test sector.
