Title: Modular Base
Post by: TrashMan on January 28, 2011, 11:22:55 am

Originally made for Infinity, I plan to modify bits of it for FS.

Each part is supposed to be a separate "ship", and docking them to the central hub one can construct a starbase. Some modules can be docked to other modules, thus making the base bigger.

To prevent this from suffering from development hell, I will release meshes of modules as I finalize them.

Modules planed so far:
- fuel/refinery
- storage
- habitation
- military extention
- docking module
- construction
- repair
- hangar

I hope it'll be possible to make it somewhat compatible with BW's modular stations.
That's going to be really great.

Which ones can we see in the image?

2: Red 'dot' = ?? (turret, dockpoint?)

3: Do I detect some Aeglos influences on the 'tongs'- like drydock in the top left?

4: Planned size? (I know we can easily resize stuff in PCS2, but I want to know what you have in mind. Puts everything to scale)

5: Could you post an image with some of the other pieces docked together? Just so we can see the possibilities?

Thanks ... and amazing job there! ;)

The one with the red dots is the military extension....red dots are possible turret placemetns.


Size? Not sure, but something along the Arcadia size, maybe smaller....it would depend on the number of modules one attached.

The one at the very front is something like a habitation module.

the boxy one in the back would be a hangar module

I have always wanted to do a campaign starting out from a major ship yard with various ships of the line here and there. :) Good job Trashman :)
