I've seen alot of stations before and I can say with complete certainty that this is one of the most impressive stations in the S.E. workshop!
Wissing  [author] 24 Oct, 2014 @ 3:56am 
Nope i mde this before the modding option was added :)
Taco 23 Oct, 2014 @ 10:39pm

gravel should be also used for more stuff like cement Mix to make cement blocks, ics added and can be melted to be made into water. for drinking and rocket fuel.
mepatuhoo 8 Jun, 2014 @ 1:59pm

i like this project but like werewolftootsie said its really laggy on my computer as well so the discription sould be updated to say:
cons:
- can be laggy on some coputers

but all in all nice job when i upgrade my computer ill besure to use this station more often and later on i plan on doing youtube videos when my pc can handle it ill besure to recommend this ^,.\\
hekmatyar 7 Jun, 2014 @ 11:59am 
dude it has very sexy design and i love it!
my computer is sooooooo laggy on it though
Wissing  [author] 7 Jun, 2014 @ 9:02am 
Yeah and with 8 large reactor is that certain to have dealt a vital hit to the station.
dapolofan 7 Jun, 2014 @ 8:13am 
it got easy cause i bombed the power room and u know the large r... is like a warhead times 10
dapolofan 7 Jun, 2014 @ 8:12am 
yea lost 7 of my ships to it :P
Wissing  [author] 7 Jun, 2014 @ 4:25am 
haha nice did you put guns on it??
dapolofan 6 Jun, 2014 @ 6:35pm 
its in space bits now c; me and my friends had a space battle and your station lost :P
Wissing  [author] 6 Jun, 2014 @ 3:04pm 
@dapolofan glad you liked it when i get my new computer, will i make a new copy with the use of the new blocks + guns for those who likes the original will i let this be page be here on the workshop.
dapolofan 6 Jun, 2014 @ 12:06pm 
so now its a millitary ship/outpost :P
dapolofan 6 Jun, 2014 @ 12:06pm 
nice but now thx to the update i turned it into a station to :D:
Wissing  [author] 5 Jun, 2014 @ 2:45pm 
It is actually supposed to be a military outpost ;)
JugOfNog 5 Jun, 2014 @ 2:36pm 
@Minud5 i was just wondering... What type of spacestation is this supposed to be: military, or civilian???
JugOfNog 5 Jun, 2014 @ 1:20pm 
@Minud5 thanks for considering it! I just want to make an amazing station even better. :D
Wissing  [author] 4 Jun, 2014 @ 6:06pm 
@Juggernog your certainly gave me some ideas that actually thought might work. I will look into this as soon as the update comes out, or i decide it's time to do it ;)
JugOfNog 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:59pm 
@Minud5 you could make the outer ring slightly thicker so you would be able to affectively conseal conveyor tubes to connect to the turrets. You could also make the turrets surround the base of the turret with a tower to provide the maximum protection for them. It could help add to the pointy spire design. Please test or atleast consider the idea for it. :D
Wissing  [author] 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:38pm 
@Juggernog i have considered that :) the only problem though is that i think it's going to look like shit :P
Wissing  [author] 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:36pm 
Cons: questions part 2
#3 I could do that, and i will definitely consider doing that in a soon update.
#4 The general interior is designed with a wide variety of possibilities, for close combat. (especially the third floor will work well for this) As soon as the turrets update comes out, (or i update it with turrets) will i place interior turrets. (Maybe you should consider downloading it to get insigt in the station ;) )
Wissing  [author] 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:36pm 
Cons: questions part 1
#1 You are totally right about the light armor not being enough, and in a serious battle this station will take heavy damage from missiles and bullets. However the station can carry fighters and turrets, which of course draws focus from the station and inflicts heavy damage to the enemy.
#2 The ring protects the most vital spots axis (Hangar, Engine room, Cargo room). You are right that the areas over and under the ring, will take heavy damage if flown into. This ring though is only used as a defence against the bigger ships, that try to kamikaze through the station and not to protect against missiles. It should be said that i tried kamikazing into the hangar, and the engine room (picture) 5 times. Everytime i ended up stuck in the ring, with no ability to fly back or forth. (This makes a good defence, as turrets will be able to fire on the ship as it is stuck)
Wissing  [author] 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:36pm 
Wow @CuriousCurse you certainly analyzed my base to the extreme :P I will answer your questions as best as i can :)

Pros: questions
#1 The assembler is only there to look good, and make the reactors seem more engine'ish. (100% design focus)
#2 No it doesn't. But it could easily be made as there is enough space for such a mechanism.
#3 Same as 2
#4 To be honest i did never expect this project to go so viral as it has. To which i am really grateful. The problem with the video though, is that my low-end computer almost crashed painting the station, so sadly i don't think a video will be possible just now :/

TalinPeacy 4 Jun, 2014 @ 4:07pm 
Pros you forgot:
Vital points are not easily identifiable from the exterior (less chance of them targeting the vital points specifically)

Redundancies allow continued function while sustaining damage.

Armor configuration provides angular armor, minor structural reenforcment, and cheap damage dispersion.

Questions:
Why do you have an assembler attached to your large reactors?

Do your hangars have material collection points? (collectors that ships can drop things into and store in the station)

Do they have refuel/resupply points? (station connectors dropping fuel, ammo, and other things into ships)

Can you make a video tour of the station or open the doors to show what room leads into what?
TalinPeacy 4 Jun, 2014 @ 4:07pm 
Cons: Primarily light armor construction makes the station vulnerable to large missle barrages and heavy kenetic torpedos. Mass Acceleration Cannons/Auto-Cannons Would rip holes into that station no problem simply due to the speed and amount of firepower. You can't rely on turrets to handle all the incoming while still fighting the enemy.

The ring only provides protection on one axis from ramming. If it was part of a grid pattern with a heavy armor core inside the rings to provide more resistance, it would be able to provide the protection advertised.

Simply setting the turrets to only target missles and astroids will allow for added defense while waiting for the factions update.

Can't really get an idea of the general layout from the pictures so I don't know what the defensive values of the interior are.
JugOfNog 4 Jun, 2014 @ 2:41pm 
When the turrets are fixed the station will be even more amazing. The turrets could be placed on the outer ring allowing for optimum range. If the turrets are set to target missiles then it would take quite a long time for the attackers to blast through the armour using only bullets. It would be very costly if they just kamikazed there ships into the station. Because only small ships can use gatling guns it wouldnt have as much armour as a massive battleship or dreadnaught. Plus it has its own squadron of fighters defending it.
Scopsins 4 Jun, 2014 @ 2:20pm 
great just great
Cryptic_Plays󰴂 4 Jun, 2014 @ 2:03pm

Eulenspiegel 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:34am 
WWooowww Einfach super
Salubrin 4 Jun, 2014 @ 5:11am 
I have to say, this is one of the best stations i have ever seen!
Nice job

Totally didnt steal this thumb thingy. :P
Wissing  [author] 4 Jun, 2014 @ 3:54am 
@kiloran7 isn't everything big, easy to hit ;), As far as i know there should be 2-3 layers between the engine and the outer wall which is standard for most ships and stations + attackers don't know where the engine room is located ;) The only improvement i can think of would be to change the middle layer to heavy armor :)

SO COOL
Cynic 3 Jun, 2014 @ 10:59pm 
Very well done.
Blight Empire 3 Jun, 2014 @ 10:28pm 
I can see your points its a nice looking design there is one issue though its size makes it easy to hit with any type of weapon. And it wouldnt take to much to destroy the main engine from the look of it. But overall i approve o/
Alexander Leeds 3 Jun, 2014 @ 3:50pm 
I really like the artwork in this one. Very well done.
(LUX)Dinomaster 3 Jun, 2014 @ 3:46pm 
thinking of my computer i allready see the lag. very cool though nice work
Wissing  [author] 3 Jun, 2014 @ 3:34pm 
@BioMech if you like this project. Then maybe you will like my other too ;)
BioMech 3 Jun, 2014 @ 2:37pm 
Very cool design. Keep 'em comming.
pgames-food 3 Jun, 2014 @ 10:52am 
cool, lets hope my low-ish end system can handle it ;)
Wissing  [author] 3 Jun, 2014 @ 10:25am 
@pgamesm-food haha. I actually made the floors available for combat. When the turrets update for stations come i will fortify the base with turrets. Both the interior and exterior making it interesting to fight in ;)
pgames-food 3 Jun, 2014 @ 10:05am 
it looks cool - i wonder wht it would be like with pvp inside, using guns and running around doom style? :)
3 Jun, 2014 @ 7:07am 
really good one of the best i have been in
:)
