First up: Refinery!
Faction X Bases!
What's likely to be the garrison
EDIT: Version II, looks much less like a printer.

I laughed out loud, because I also had thought the first one looked like a printer. Looks good, though I'm left wondering why it's split in half, connected by a bunch of tubes. Not really wondering, I figure it's just artistic license.Andon wrote:QUOTE (Andon @ Aug 19 2008, 11:23 PM) EDIT: Version II, looks much less like a printer.

I Also think you've got too many solar panels.
Tip:
Remember, bases don't have to be flat and parallel to the sector plane !
They don't have to have the doors in NSEW directions either.
I'm fairly impartial to older RL space station designs:

I like the modular designs form the 1960's as well as the "power tower" configuration once proposed for ISS (when it was still "Freedom")
FYI the power tower was gravity stabilised, meaning the head with the solar panels would alwasy be away from Earth while the living modules would "hang" below it.
But my favorites were always the nuclear powered 1970 space bases:

The cone at the end of the telescopic pole to the right is the reactor.
You can imagine tacking on modules with different shapes. Hexagonal cargo modules, spherical fuel/water/oxygen tanks etc.

Hmm... Why do you need solar cells, if you have He3 fusion reactors?! /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />
