Mando's spacestation WIP thread
do not worry, I have not gone crazy, and yes I am still working on the other ships, but I am waiting on feedback on the scimitar so I can hand it over to my skinner, and I do plan to finally make the warpod fix later today. The reason for this thread is that we are in MUCH greadter need of spacestations iin comparison to ships, so I loaded up on of my older stations I needed to finigh, and finished off the base, and I am now posting it up here for review and comments. and dont worry, I will be adding more fine details like antenaes and dishes later
So here it the Shipyard orbital dock, it is a general repair and rest starbase capable of fixing any ship from starfighter to capital ships like a mon cal star cruiser or a VSD, or perhaps a ISD in the larger versions. They are a common sight at shipyards such as sluis van, mon cal, kuat and most others. it has minimal armanent, but usual protocal usualy has a group of them in a shipyard protected by a garrison onboard, and a golan spacegun 1 (some golans may be coming soon), and they have 2 massive drydocks for capital ships, multiple docking ports for frieghters and medium sized ships, and 4 hanger bays for small craft.

so feed back would be nice, and I will be adding more detailing, and that mock-up of a mon cal cruiser is for ref only

and there is another ref I used, but the one below was the main one

Looks awesome, and I wouldn't be surprised if it came in really handy for FREDers. These things tend to be necessary, but often they're in short supply, as people focus on ships.

Re: Mando's spacestation WIP thread
I do find that odd, as space stations can be some of the most memorable and iconic vessels in a space game.  This is starting off like it could be a very memorable station, although I'm trying to figure something out.  Are those Mon Cal cruisers launching from it?  Or is that some sort of smaller ship I'm not familiar with?

The vessel looks Mon Calmari, but it's not an MC80 or any other cruiser that I know. Perhaps some other model, perhaps smaller (some variant of Mon Calmari frigate?).

Re: Mando's spacestation WIP thread
I believe those are dry-docks for large ships such as mon-cals, which is there for scale reference.

That said, the main challenge for this station will be to make it sufficiently detailed to maintain a sense of scale when flying around it.

The one launching in the pic, maybe an MC40?

Re: Mando's spacestation WIP thread
ok as interesting and big, and as much as a chalenge that big one is, I have another station that I think may be a better option to pursue first
I would like to present my Golan spacegun mk1 model. now this is how it is currently, now it isnt going to stay that way, as I plan to: add a lot more detailing, round a handful of surfaces, do a slight bit of reimagining, and of course ad TURRETS. here is the wiki link for those of you who do not know what it is http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Golan_Space_Defense_SpaceGun
advice, permission, etc are readily accepted
