Someone posted a plan to have a pizza delivered to Egosoft HQ and get the pizzaman to ask about progress, how much is a pizza in German, if I can get full information and a plan from someone I'd gladly fund such a project.
Back to the subject of The Void: What do you guys think? Contact Mines or proximity?

@Freya Nocturne:
A pizza in Germany goes for between 8 and 20 euro's depending on size, quality and location. Be sure not to pick a place which will give them food poisoning 
On topic: The screen looks nice. I hope you can outfit your mines with sensor scramblers. Also smart mines would be a nice addition. Tripping of one mine alerting would alert the ones in proximity so that can swoop in if you survive the initial mine exploding.

Looks awesome. I'm hoping that this is not one of a kind and if I come off the highways I can find things like this through exploration.
That thing floating, is it a ship? It kind of looks a bit like an Argon Mercury.

It looks like debris to me.
If it isn't then it will be in short order.

If they are standard proximity mines in a systematic 3D minefield then they look rather too close together and too prone to systematic fratricide or displacement on any other mine event.
Has anyone considered that we might just be looking at the equivalent of a secure parking lot or a police stolen/impounded ship compound? You would need lane discipline and intelligent parking buoys and sensor identifiers to show what is to park where and how to get there, plus some defences against ship-stealing. OK that is maybe a bit tongue-in-cheek.

Am I the only one to really like that an explanatory text accompanied the screenshot? I definitely hope this will be a recurring feature. Too often with the SotW for TC, I found myself thinking, "Wow, that's really neat! I wonder what the heck it is." Even more, the SotW thread prior to X3's release quickly grew tiresome what with all the "OMG! What kind of ship is that??" posts.
I realize the game isn't out yet (shoot, even the release date isn't out yet) and that the point is to torment...er...whet our appetites without spoiling dinner, so I'm certainly not suggesting that any surprises be revealed. I think the bit included in the OP is great. If you show us a ship later, for example, it can't hurt to specify whether it's a M5 or a M8. Right? If you show us a picture of a sector (or whatever they're called in Re-birth), maybe simply identify which Hubble photograph was used for the background. I, for one, think it's adds a lot.

I seriously hope that along with the awesome mine field that we'll have to enjoy, we can also travel to the majestic planetary debris in the back and take a peek at it's innards....
