uh oh! doing something that might require EFFORT! nooo!

[Knight Templar]

Well.. when you put it that way, effort really does suck. I mean in general, not that this couldn't use any or..  maybe I'll just go to bed now..

You didn't understand..
I can make a simple fighter or a capship out of a single object, without using booleans, just with extrude, bevel and similar stuff...

But a asteroid base has just too many surfaces that go in underts of directions.
How can you make a LARGE flat platform in the middle of a hollow asteroid without booleans?
You can't with extrusion or beveling....

[color=cc9900]Oh, can't you now? Not that anybody would actually want to place a large flat platform in the middle of an asteroid, but if they did want to then they could just do it using cloned vertices pushed to an absolute position on the y axis, then constructing the polygons that those points form. That way you'd have a flat platform with perfectly vertical struts down to the asteroid surface.
You can do one hell of a lot if you shift down to vertex editing.[/color]

Yes you can.  It's piss easy.  There is NOTHING there that can't be done simply and efficiently with a bit of extrusion, face resizing, welding (& vertice movement) and possibly some minor tesselation.

Vertex Weld is your friend.

Starting anew...This time the asteroid itself is 4300 polys

Now to start adding the interior...
