(World) Federation Starfleet Earth Space Dock (PC Killer, Empty Shell)

Ever wanted a 1:1 scale Space Dock? Me too. Sadly not really viable. This little puppy here was built at small scale, a little under 1:2 according to the best estimations on Ex-Astris-Scienta.org. With a diameter of 1500 meters and 1700 meters tall (not counting the antennae) it's still singlehandedly the biggest thing i've built in Space Engineers so far, and technically it's two things because the game couldn't handle all of it's glory in one piece (i had to attach the lower regions via Connectors and turned them into a Station via SE Toolbox, otherwise the game crashed due to too many blocks in one grid). With over 2,300,000 blocks combined the world runs like molasses, it lags like you wouldn't believe, loading takes twenty minutes and there was no performance-budget left for any kind of detailing (plus i screwed up the curvature a bit) - but it makes for REALLY nice screenshots in my opinion.

The upload does not include a planet nor a door for starships; the former because of performance limitations, the latter because it looks nicer this way and i haven't really given closeable doors any thought due to the low quality of play with the final assembly; this is meant to produce nice looking screenshots and an attempt to explore the upper limit of SE's engine.

I have decided to classify this station as a PC Killer because it eats up well over 12 gb of Ram just to load. Do not load this world if you have a weak PC. And speaking from experience: when you paste ships in - make sure you don't accidentally CTRL-C or CTRL-B the station itself; it'll freeze your game. BE CAREFUL is all i'm saying.
