well it was origonaly built in the time of the Arcadia, and I love the Arcadia skins,
and it has, I think, some were between 1500-2500 polys depending on how much of it has been pulped

I've got this inward feeling that that thing looks really cool - can you get us a pic of it rendered on a background?

bah, never pay attention to critics about skins. If you use FS2 maps, you can be sure there's at least one person that'll say the skin is piece of crap...
anyway, loooks damn cool. how far does that "mast" goes down? :)

Yeah, what is that, is that a "space elevator" or whatever the term is? :)

Bobboau had this to say about it:
GTI\SCI Alfheilm, one of the oldest of the large instalation classes, the first Alfheilm class was built in orbit around neptune shortly before the begining of the great war, several were built threwout GTA space before the loss of SOL, sence then the GTVA has continued constructing them to this day, despite there old design. they are large industrial duterium refinerys, constructed in medium to low altitude orbits around gass giants were they use a 8km long magnetic inductance beam to pull in gasses from layers of the planets atmosphere, then they refine and sort valuable elements such as Argon, asorted metals, and most importantly duterium. not only are Alfheilms used for the gathering and refineing of the materials of the planet they are constructed around but also refine materials mined by gass miners and from asteroid feids. and Alfheilm class instalations are the primary refueling station for the larger capital ships, a single alfheim holds enough duterium in storage to refuel 4 Orion class destroiers and can refill there reserves in a mater of days. though Alfheilm class instalations are completly defencless, there logistical importance to the fleet makes a single Alfheilm several times more valuable than a destroier.
