It's now a fully fledged error, an enormous blunder, a fiscal and metrological nightmare. It's a long boat.

Horizon is one of the four ship-themed maps currently in rotation, well-known for its sleek, missile-like layout. It was designed by then mentor john_warcrimes and ported over by Haine as a semi-tongue-in-cheek horizontal map with a variety of fun little gimmicks and touches, like an extensive transit system based on glorified disposal chutes, an on-station nuclear bomb, and, most popularly, hot loop pipes that go under the pool.

In November 2019, Horizon received a major revamp. First, part of the Clown Station Ruins collided into the former Escape Arm, leading to a new Escape area in the northeast and the old version being closed off. Hydroponics also suffered some damage, and a different part of the ruins smashed into the North Electrical Substation and surrounding areas, somehow merging with it. The Testing Asteroid also drifted significantly closer to the moored ship. Then, the Research Sector was redesigned: its Plasma Research area was phased out, the Artifact Lounge and Chemistry lab were remodeled and streamlined, and a new Tool Storage and Pod Hangar were created.

In December 2019, there was a surprising new development: the NCS Atlas collided into the NSS Horizon while attempting to dock! While the Atlas is now overall worse off, a lot of areas of both ships are still surprisingly functional and relatively intact, and the crew have built several new walkways of admittingly questionable structural integrity linking the two.

Feel free to report any flaws in this flying offense to common sense in its Official FIX THIS SHIT! thread

February 4, 2019 to Present

Horizon was the first station to:

Fully utilize the widescreen perspective. Many rooms look much better when the display's on widescreen than on square.
Abandon the mail chute system for a full-fledged transport chute system.
Put the nuclear charge on the station, rather than on a off-station outpost.
Include emergency pod fabs in certain pod bays.
