But the Arcaida isn't supplying power to the portal - it's supplying facilities for the ships using the portal, whether they be the instrument of their destruction or their repairing, or just a small-time trader.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

So then why make it connected?  Sheesh, all this because I just thought you shouldn't connect them.

Sandwich, the portal looked better with pylons for the beams.  

Also I'd add in some reactor pylons, which is something the Charon and Shrike's Knossos don't have.

Finally I'd do an attached and unattached version.  

So pretty much my advise is: Defense pylons (beams on their ends, some anti-fighter beams, and some flak) some reactor pylons (large, blow up real nice) and maybe a small bridge/C&C section with a side docking port. (so you can dock explorer class ships onto it)

Because.... because... because the portal is supplying power to the Arcadia! So there!

*COUGH*

WHAT?  My model had a quartet of industrial fusion plants on the rim.  How can you say it doesn't have reactors?

I'll I can say is that the model is coming out really nice... and that, as sandwich says, don't think of it as adding an Arcadia to a Portal, think of it as adding a Portal to an Arcadia.

[GTVA radio ad]You built an Arcadia next to an asteroid field to process your mining operation, but now all the asteroids are gone... what do you do now? How about adding a GTExJ to it!? That's right, for just 19,999,999,999.99 GTVA credits you can ad a portal to a whole new system to your old Arcadia. Open up a doorway to a new and unexplored system, and just rake in the money as explorers and colonists from all over GTVA space stop by your Arcadia on their way to a new and exciting system![/GTVA radio ad]
