Base is monocolored to allow for custom paint for your world.

To install Safelaunch turrets: ensure Station Rotors are at 0°. Emplace facing outward. Reverse rotors after emplacement to rotate to final firing position. Launching while drones are docked will destroy all right-side drones and the surrounding structure.

She's armed for bear and able to carry out solo fleet invasions. The rooftop turrets are placed with grid turret upgrade firmly in mind. Solar powered save for a single reactor, you can save your uranium for your ammo and your ships, and not worry about your station eating fuel to keep the batteries up.

With enough patience and preparation, it is possible to deploy 4 capital ships and their own associated swarms, 20 drones of its own, and launch up to 200 M-1 Helios missiles in waves of 8, before simply vanishing once more and leaving the fleet to mop up. This while also each of the 30 launch cycles (in that five minute recharge span) simultaneously drops four decoy rods to draw fire away from both your missiles and your fleet.

[The build plate on the roof may also be used for shipbuilding or the use of large grid IPOMs(Interplanetary Orbital Missiles).] The build plate on the roof is designed to be replaced with three grid turrets, and to feed your favorite ship printer as you align it with the conveyor. It is recommended you alter the safe zone to cover your printer.
