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.
-
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?).
-
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?
-
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
