I've done the modelling on the next installment in the GTEx* series of Arcadia add-ons - the GTExE.
It's basically a huge engine that can propel the Arcadia at speeds of up to 20m/s. This is a much faster and more efficient way of repositioning Arcaida-class stations in-system.

That looks cool
great job (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

does the engine actually propel the station?
Or does it just pass through in a complete mess of collision detection errors (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

LOL! I honestly don't know yet. I once was playing around with a mission where I had an Orion jump right in front of the hole in the Arcadia. The "nose" of the Orion went right throught the Arcadia, but when the lower fighterbay runway area reached the station... *BUMP*!!!! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) So I hope that's what will happen with this as well. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I love all the refits being done to the station sandwich, keep em coming!! I have some cool idea's too, Make some kind of advanced science lab for one, i know they probably have labs in em, (being so big and all) but having an year old station rededicated to say scientific research in the Neo GTA would be kinda neat

Yeah, I'm thinking something along those lines, Analazon. Maybe the GTExD (GT Extension - Defense). That way you'd have others like the GTExF (fighter/bombers), GTExC (cargo), GTExM (medical), GTExR (research), GTExE (engines - for relocating Arcadias), GTExY (Yard - shipyard for constructing (up to corvette class?)), GTExG (Gas refinery - a docking point for gas miners, or a gas miner in itself for stations inside nebulae), GTExB/GTExO/GTExN (blocakde/offense/node - a weaponry platform with all firepower concentrated towards one choke point), GTExS (Shielding for stations in close orbit of stars - think like the Star Wars books' shieldships - huge umbrellas).

(http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) Sorry, mate. Fingering means something else completely.
Besides, that's a real nebula. I just can't remember the name, I'll have to check.
Finally. Key Hole Nebula.

Oops - sorry... I looked at "nmiaow" and all I saw was it being the sound a cat makes.... and since the topic had taken a turn to talkign about g/f's, I assumed the worst, without even seeing that it stood for what it stood for... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)

hehehe - I'm considering where exactly to attach the Knossos one.... I'm actually leaning more towards shaping it to fit in that vertical split that the Arcadia has on the side, since it wouldn't need to worry about hitting anything on that end...

last time i am going OT..She is doing better now but is badly hurt she almost broke every single bone in her body because of the imense force she got from the car but i am happy she didn't fell into a coma, but it barley happend. But the good part is her friend that was whit her at that time could tell the police the licence plate and he got arrested, and if you are driveing in Holland when you are drunk there is a high penalty for that, and even worse when you hit someone. 4/6 years maby more.
but iam still said (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)even when i am makeing jokes on the board or read something funny

No problem with the OT-ness this time, fella's... it's not like it's stupidity being spread or anything.
