If you subbed the huge hull version it should appear under your huge ship templates in the ship designer. Maybe click on the "all" tab on the available hulls. If you see it in there you just have to save the design as a starbase. When the save prompt comes up cycle through the "save designs as" options until you get to starbase. Just be aware that can only use the starbase with a custom civ, so you have to create one. Click on new game and then on edit for your custom civ. In the fleets->starbases tab you it should have this as an option now because its saved as a starbase. Then replace whatever default starbases you want with this one.

Glad I checked back. Forgive me, but how do I load it in the ship designer? I have subbed to both but can't see either in the ship designer. Thanks

Great, glad it worked :-)

The workaround is perfect, thank you very much! The design in fantastic!

I think I found a workaround. Try subbing the huge hull version on the link above and saving it as a starbase in the ship designer

Hello! Your designs are epic! Unfortunately I'm encountering the same problem as Odin & Mr TaunTaun. In the civilisation customisation ship fleet screen it is visible (although once selected, if you try to change to a different style starbase, it doesn't change).

On the ship designer screen, it's also invisible.

When in game, the icon for it appears on the HUD if you zoom out, but it's invisible on the map, and when you enter the screen to add modules to it.

Not sure what else to try, as it's an amazing piece of work you've created!

Thanks Odin. Yes if you replace every starbase and starbase level in the fleet screen of your custom civ, then its bound to appear in the game, but it depends if you want to use it as your economic, military, mining or cultural starbase. I tend to use this one design for all of them for my Starfleet faction

Hey, your designs are incredible, but I can't get the Starbase to show up in game either. I know I'm probably doing something wrong in the fleet screen. Do I set it as the generic station AND the rest of the station levels as well? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

It's all good. Taking necessary time for yourself is important.

Taking a bit of a break but no doubt will upload something before long

Hey Smersh, any hints at what you're working on next?
Smersh  [author] 8 Sep, 2024 @ 10:35am 
You'll need to ensure the template is added to your custom civ's fleet in the starbase tab and start a new game. Other than that I'm not sure what to suggest. Could be a memory issue as there's a lot of custom parts. I had a version with window effects on the underside as well but it just wouldn't save properly so had to remove them

I redownloaded it but still invisible on the map and also I've found in the ship designer as well. Are there any gameplay options required for it?
Smersh  [author] 8 Sep, 2024 @ 3:06am 
Not sure. I've re-uploaded the build and tested it and seems to work
MrTauntaun 7 Sep, 2024 @ 8:11pm 
Great looking starbase. However, it's invisible on the map. Any idea why?
Smersh  [author] 18 Aug, 2024 @ 12:39pm 
You're welcome
