a little thingy.... as I do not like the Ganymede Docking Ring at all...

without boxes...
   

with boxes: control center, hangar, and so on, should go within these boxes. I'm not sure how to develop them further, yet.
   

with an Orion Class Destroyer docked.
   

still under developement...

Looks pretty nice...  

Maybe you should get in contact with Sandwich and ask about integration between an Arcadia, a GTEx* class, and your docking ring.

when it's finished, I'll do that, for sure     i've had another idea how to improve it... it's pretty basic right now...

bt, i've been surfing on the HLP forums for quite some time, but i rarely post.

I await your message.  

BTW, I see that you're using Rhino - did you make use of the tutorial I did for it?

i had a look at it.   Well done. But i knew already how to use rhino...   and truespace too. Only one thing... I don't know why but I don't have the TrueView plugin (which should come bundled with TS...). Any clue  where to find it? It was on the Caligari site, but now it's there no more....

Update
------

i did indeed download your updated toolbar...

Ya think so? I've seen a LOT worse  


Those docking rings actually would seem more efficient than the ganymede's, imagine how much money you would have to spend on all those rotating docking rings the gany has...

The size is quite nice as well.

An idea: You could have seperate "prongs" off the main docking rings(which support larger vessels in construction) and on those new prongs, you could make smaller rings in which smaller vessels can be constructed.

Just an idea though, the poly count might be too high.

uhm... why not? I will think about it today... maybe tomorrow I will have something done... in the meantime, this is how i developed the "main" docking ring...

       

the red part should be the control center, and maybe, below it, a little hangar will have place, don't know yet... I also had another idea: i will probably add some engines, so that it can be moved... think of a drydock, wich can repair ships while at sea...     you could move the drydock in, repair the ship fast and at a lower cost (as someone else said...     ) and then move it again out of system...

(p.s: I did change the my winXP skin...     great OS..)

Wow, cool - that thing is really shaping up. I can't wait to see you put some textures on it. What's the polycount like?

It is turning out pretty cool.  

Next you'll need some half completed ships to put inside of it.
