I'm not sure how much experience Gank has with modeling, but it has been advised to some new modelers that its best to pick something small to start with. Such was the case with the buy modeling the Cerebrus (even though he called it Alastor, which was the FS2 sentry), who was new to modeling, so he started small to get a feel for it. Of course, that doesn't explain Bob and his Herc-1, but he may be the exception.

Oh, and Riveria Station had an experimental deflection grid of some kind (pre-shivan primitive shield) that it was testing. It's always been presumed that those masts were there for that purpose as to not cause inconsistancies.
I was under the impression that a prototype shield was undergoing developpment there, but nothing to suggest that the station itself was equiped with said grid. For something like that you would start testing with a small device in some cargo bay... kind of like those test in the cutscene with the captured Shivan unit.
Later!
