Approximately 700 meters in diameter, this installation is not supposed to be camoflauged as an asteroid, but simply makes use of the existing material of a large asteroid to build upon.

Suggestions?

That KICKS MAJOR ASS!

put a nice cylinder out of the top and call it a super powerful observatory

With some beam cannons, it could be a good replacement for the Arcadia.

'Tis good. Particularly the exposed bits down the bottom. Very nice touch.

Ya but the problem is you can only have one of these "Asteroid Installations". So you'll have to have mutiple ones for any campaign needing more then one. :no-smilie-for-this:


But anyway

Good work, Sarnie, though I would advise you to lose the bit sticking out the bottom. Or change it to something with a bit more shape (or at least a bit less phallic )

There's only one asteroid that looks like that. Not two or three just one.

i like it just ad some round blocky dish at the bottum underside to make a docking platform, Like the arcadia.

but good

[Styxx]

Damn cool. I'd just add some variety to the textures - support beams on the dome and similars, lighter panels through the standard walls, etc. Where is the docking bay, by the way?

A "little" update, mainly on the lower section:

very good but
i don't like the diagonal bottom spikes
the sphere need some work in my opinion, on the textures mainly, i don't like them, probably some less "casual" texture may be better, for example a texture with mostly horizontal  lines and with some "elements" on it (for example little rings with windows/lights, bespin style, or maybe an "hydroponic garden" if you want a civilian structure )
i like the yellow tech parts hidden in the rock, but i find them too "regular", maybe a secondary docking bay(with maybe the possibility to fly INSIDE the asteroid ;7), a couple of panoramic windows, some little structures could improove the whole thing
A docking platform could be used also at the base of the sphere: make the sphere diameter little smaller so to create a little horizontal area between the sphere and the vertical area, and work on this area to make a little platform
Overall vote so far: 7,5/8
can become easily an 8,5 or probably more with little work:) when you will finish it we also may use it in the starwars mod for some missions:)

Very cool model, but as per your stated purpose, it looks more like it exists in spite of the asteroid, not because of it.

[Ryx]

Now that's a sweet looking base. Grade A

[diamondgeezer]

The second model is better but, as the Bane™ said, it's still not quite right - what I think he means is that there's too much base in too small an asteroid. It looks not so much like the base was built in an asteroid to take advantage of said rock, but that the rock is there because it was in the way.

Solution - more rock, less base, Bodecia style

[CP5670]

yes, I like this one a lot.

The current style might work nicely if the base is supposed to be hidden though, since it looks like bits of asteroid were sort of pasted onto the installation to camouflage it.

Public release,,, please,,, public release.:wink:
