I still have the Russian Station map half finished somewhere on my Computer. I'll still be up to finish it if multi-zlevels are fully implemented.
If we're still talking about
Eris Station, now called Discordia for some reason, which is what that video is of, then no, it's not. The fact that you would even say that tells me you have either never played this codebase, or never played Orbital Station 13 because other then having multiz these two "Russian stations" could not be more far apart. Eris is about a corporate merchant ship, who's security is hired mercenaries, that flies around the galaxy doing SS13 shit. OS13 is about a space station who's crew wakes up 300 years later than they're supposed to, and now have to survive as their station is falling apart, there's a traitor who has to accomplish his 300 year old orders, and the fortress down below is preparing to invade them.
OS13 is all about a broken, fractured space station crew trying to survive a harsh environment and repair their station, while Eris is about dealing with internal staff strife and potential outward threats while they sail the galaxy. It's not even that Eris is a less grimdark OS13, Eris isn't grimdark at all, all of Eris's themes were strictly neon cyberpunk, not grimdark. I know all this because I've been an active developer for Eris in the past, and while I don't actively code for the codebase anymore I still hang around with the developers.
