Echoes is the third settlement created by the Black Starwalkers, and one currently in development. It was started from an idea  dunechan originally had about a base made from designs from the BioShock series, but now is based on an idea  ZJTrayGamingYT took about ginormous domes underwater.

Following  dunechan's departure from the Black Starwalkers on January 22nd, 2025, Echoes' ownership went fully under  ZJTrayGamingYT.

By early August, a complete overhaul of Echoes as a settlement was created and fully planned, and was officially started with the beginning of the construction of the Hub Dome on August 7th, 2025.

Echoes was named after the song Echoes by rock group Pink Floyd, and the settlement flag partially resembles the album it came off of, Meddle. The song's name, and therefore the base's name originates from the word Echoes, which (in this context) means one who closely imitates or repeats another's words, ideas, or acts. This was applicable when naming it due to it's inspirations and combinations of styles.

About

Echoes currently has multiple things planned in regards to it. They are:

Overhaul Era

January 22nd, 2025:

August 1st, 2025 - August 4th, 2025:

•  ZJTrayGamingYT fully plans out sections of an overhauled Echoes, with  Ervoss helping some of the architecture ideas. Hundreds of thousands of materials are required to create the ginormous interconnected domes idea  ZJTrayGamingYT had planned.

August 7th, 2025:

• Work finally begins on the massive scale of Echoes' planned gargantuan size.  ZJTrayGamingYT,  Ervoss, and  Vlkodlak148 begin the work on the hub dome with glass supplied by  Modified_2T22.

August 7th, 2025 - August 8th, 2025:

• Echoes' Hub Dome's main perimeter and underwater aspects are created and finalized by  ZJTrayGamingYT,  Ervoss, and  Vlkodlak148.
•  Modified_2T22 supplies even more amounts of glass.

August 8th, 2025:

•  Hyperluminous attempts to drain the water out of the interior area of Echoes' Hub Dome with sponges supplied by  Modified_2T22, but is met with complications as the ocean refills itself.

August 10th, 2025:

•  Excommunicated supplies glass.
•  Ervoss and  kubixolus start work on the above-water part of Echoes' Hub Dome.

August 13th, 2025 - August 14th, 2025:

•  kubixolus continues work on the above-water part of Echoes' Hub Dome.

August 16th, 2025:

•  ZJTrayGamingYT,  Ervoss, and  Vlkodlak148 gather a bunch of concrete for the upcoming extension to Echoes.
•  Vlkodlak148 drains a bit of Echoes' Hub Dome.

August 17th, 2025:

•  ZJTrayGamingYT and  Ervoss finish gathering all of the needed colored concrete, and stained glass.
•  ZJTrayGamingYT and  Ervoss continue working on the above-water part of Echoes' Hub Dome.
• Later in the day,  kubixolus continues work on the above-water part of Echoes' Hub Dome.

August 18th, 2025:

•  ZJTrayGamingYT and  Vlkodlak148 acquire tons of glass and start the process of manually draining Echoes' Hub Dome.

August 19th, 2025 - August 20th, 2025:

•  ZJTrayGamingYT reaches out to  Cosmic_potato_04 for assistance in getting an admin to drain the water inside of Echoes' Hub Dome. Over the course of an hour,  Cosmic_potato_04 completely drains the inside of Echoes' Hub Dome.

• After  Cosmic_potato_04 leaves, there are still large pockets of water to fill.  ZJTrayGamingYT,  Ervoss, and  Vlkodlak148 slowly chip away at them.

• A bit later,  ZJTrayGamingYT asks for help from  Korbs699, who helps by draining most of the leftover pockets.  ZJTrayGamingYT and  Vlkodlak148 continue work after  Korbs699 leaves, leaving only one real pocket left that requires draining.
