Need BIG Spacestations!

I was running out of ideas to a degree, so if you don't like this half-layer feel free to comment on it viciously. Alongside the Hecate, again for size comparison.

Oohhh...purdy

I've never been fond of sections that sort of 'float' out in the middle of nowhere, but that is a seriously cool design Cerebrus. I don't know about you guys, but I for one wouldn't have anything against TH implimenting this station, as laggy as it looks, into the game...

BTW, how exactly are you planning on compensating for the lag produced by having a massive number of sections, TH?

What is this lag you all talk of?

Well, one giant station is still likely to have less sections than a whole fleet of ships like you get in Grinder. Plus the very fact that its only one ship instead of a boxful does streamline it a little.

Well then, are going to be seeing Cerebrus' design (or something like it) in the game, then?

Then we put a small death star-esque 1hp exhaust port that is nearly completely blocked off and all sections are parented to it, then RayCav will drive a Zelus in there and POOF, no station...

But seriously, Great design. Keep up the good work.

Well TrashMan, I don't like it as much as Cerebus' one, but it's not bad...

The Leviathan game mode is in the latest version and the station is pretty much Cerebrus's. I had to modify it a little for practical purposes. A copy of the blueprint is available together with the latest version.

Hey all, although this is now probably wasted

I just thought that i'd post my little Spacestation design, of which is not finished yet. Btw it is zoomed out to full.

Oh and if it means anything at all my screen size is 1280x1024

And heres the comparisson screenshot...

Meh, I know it's not too big, but it can sure take one helluva beating:

Spaceship Builder:

Size comparison:

Lasting against an Alien Dread: The Station won't kill it; but neither will the Dread.

Oh, this is my first post... so hi!

There's no reason to stop contributing to this thread now that Leviathan has been added to the game, if I have more ships to use, Leviathan can have multiple levels where you face different targets.

I was bored enough to take another swing at it.

Oh thats awesome then

I'll finish my Spacestation (which has so much armor my ships can't destroy it even without the weapons and modules

) I'll add what I think would be suitable :twisted: but i know you'll just HAVE to downgrade it

Oh and is it alright if I PM you it? since I don't want people just going into Sandbox mode to try and figure out its weaknesses
