The PSSO (With The Port of Ossic)

[sergiolet]

DO YOU HAVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE CITY?
I LOVE IT!

[Glenni]

Hot damn! that rocket on the rail looks so awesome!

[sEAhAwk fAn121]

Thought I'd stop by to say hi.
That is one awesome update Mr. Owen.
Very impressive indeed! 

[Q-Tips]

Woow!!!! Amazing!!!
For a while ago, you posted a picture of your rail station at the picture competition. Some criticized the fact that it was no covered roof over the rail terrace. However this was something i liked, and with that rail station, it actually reminded me of a station i once traveled to : Odessa train station. But what i didnt know is that it actually was supposed to be Odessa Train station. So now that i found your diary of Odessa, i am surprised to see i am right. The choice of rail building was visely. Even tough, the original station have the dome on the roof (or is it globe on the roof you say?).
Well that is just my opinion. See for yourself : http://www.flickr.com/photos/beatdrifter/1097880289/ (i hope you dont mind me adding this link.)

I now got the time to read everything. It looks very good. The last post is priceless.
The potemkin stairs is gorgeous, but way shorter than originall. The suburbs are great looking with an eastern Europe feeling. But it looks like Odessa have gotten the same problem as Napoli when it comes to garbage problem. Maybe the president of PSSO should put the secret police on the case. I'm shure they can find some responsible. If not, they can always make some become responsible.

Well, i am actually going back to Odessa for a few days at 10'th June. So if you want me to help with some pictures, textures or descriptions. Then its just to let me know.

Great job.

What a beautiful tribute to dedicate the legandry Mike (OnlyPlace4).

The grounds of that military base look fantastic. I love the one way train tracks and rockets!
I hope to see more of your work very soon Yoman.

The cosmodrome is fantastic!
And I am still wondering about those great BTR's and T-80's... Lovely. 

[kimcar]

Very nice tribute to Mike  , Yoman . And your rocket and layout around it is just Stunning . Great work 

[Une_ame]

Dear Yoman,

IMHO, all these nice pieces of equipment (T-80, BTR, BMD, trucks, S-200, Soyuz Rocket, etc) should be release to equip others forces .

I've seen a Chinese replacement (simtro) for the in-game space shuttle, I do think your Soyuz looks way better and could be a wonderfull MOD to make .

[dragonshardz]

Aye to that!

[Yoman]

Replies for the People

Getron - When I was researching the Soyuz Rocket I found that the ESA will soon be using them at their own launch pads as a medium payload rocket. So I thought the logo was appropriate (plus I needed more logos on the rocket )

Quesh - Thank you, I think I kindof skimped on the lots, got really frustrated with LE :S

cameron1991 - Yup, BATed the rockets myself. Glad you like em.

Bat - I wish the mosaics could've been bigger, but well I spent most of the time BATing :S

thundercrack83 - Thanks Dustin, the original version was alot bigger, like 3-4 times the size, this is much better sized

Ryan - "In Soviet Russia, rocket launch you!"

Gareth - Glad you like the rockets, I'm sure your rocket BATs are better though 

Micheal - Thanks, I'm gradually improving at BAT, like everyone says, it just takes practice

Toichus Maximus - Glad you like the tanks (which are acctually T-80s, but theyre so damn small, so hard to tell ) Js-IIIs are pretty cool though, maybe I'll get some for monuments!

sergiolet - Oh god now Overviews are evil in my opinion! That is because the sections just off the mosaics for the most part aren't complete.

Glenni - Thanks, new vehicle in GTA eh?

Seahawkfan - Thanks

Q-Tips - So glad that that station reminded you of the real station. And yes, Odessa does seem to have a garbage problem. Unlike Napoli however we aren't going to ask the mob to deal with it (what idiots ) Cant wait to see those photos!

warszawa - Yes, we shall all miss Mike , he was my BAT mentor, which makes the update even more appropriate as alot of it is BATed. Thanks for your reply.

BoKriF - Yes, those BTRs and T-80s shall be on the advance soon!! Muhahahahahaha, because the Chairman needs to go to the supermarket

Une_ame - I'm clueless about Mods unfortunately So no Soyuz mod I may release the Soyuz props as a prop pack (though probably not the launch pad, I could've done alot better on that). S-200 and some other military crap might be released also, but the BTRs, BMPs, T-80s etc cannot be as they are not my models, PM me if you want em though.

Dragonshardz - PM me if you want em also 

--------------------------------------

Today is the last update before I go to Europe tomorrow, and probably the last update from the current region. Glenni will be starting a new MD based on Moldova and as a result both him and I are going to get new regions (I'm not happy with my current one anyway ). Today though is farming. Because who doesn't like food! Woo. Theres a mosaic of some of the farm land (state owned of course) that is divided up by roads and hedges of trees. The PSSO produces more than enough food to feed itself and exports a large amount to the rest of Europe, Asia, and Africa. Scattered all around this rural landscape are small villages, which unfortunately aren't very nice. I'm not even sure if they have electricity or running water (think they have the latter). One of these villages, Marynivka, which is just north of Odessa, near the main highway to Kiev.

--------------------------------------




Marynivka, with a patrol of T-80 tanks rolling through.




Just some of that great state owned farmland!

Sorry about the small size of the update, but I'm leaving tomorrow as I said and I couldn't get more done :S

Hi Yoman
You make like each update a very good and realistic one 
Your fields look very good like your small time
I hope you make a big update in not a long time because your make is simply beautiful

WOW OWEN that looks amazing. I am practically speechless on your update. The farms look really good, but what got me was that village, omg your parks menu must take like 20 mins to open from all the custom content you have. You really have such a wonderful MD coming along, and your lot editing looks amazing. One of the most realistic MD or CJ's for that matter that I have ever seen. Great Work. 

[Quesh]

Two large mosaics of great class 
A beautiful representation of the rural world 

[Ennedi]

Great mosaics Owen!
At least I can see some realistic scale farmfields
I love farm buildings too, an excellent choice of them! I must do something similar when I will prepare my new region 

I don't know what will be the main theme of your new region, but knowing you and Glenni I suppose you will show some military stuff again 
So I think it would be good for you to make a training ground for all these tanks  I started to research terrain textures and customizing terrain mods, maybe I will find something nice for you?

When can I move in!?

Excellent update again, Owen. Your lots are just awesome. Extremely creative, it's rare to find updates with areas like this one.

It will still be the PSSO, Glenni is taking over Moldova and making it communist But I need a bigger region, my current one is only of the area around Odessa. A custom terrain mod would be a god send also 

[Glenni]

That's right, you'll see more later on, currently i'm really busy with preparing stuff for it.

[bat]

Wonderful new mosaic there like always! And looking forward to that new region and new things...

[Earth quake]

Wow, fantastic Update, I love your mosaics.
Really realistic, bravo.

[sebes]

Don'tbe sorry for a small update if it contains 2 gorgeous mosaïcs my friend.

Have fun in Europe and looking forward how it will inspire your future region
