I'm testing a new forum search which hopefully works better than the existing one. It currently only indexes public posts. Feedback welcome-- ngld

Very, very nice. Extremely useful for fredders. We need more utility stuff like this.

I have more in the pipeline, mostly for Frontlines and TI, but it'd be nice if I weren't the only one. Come on people! We need dockyards, and cargo platforms, and tugs, and tenders, and mining drones, and customs stations, and research outposts, and drydocks, and freighters! Lots and lots of freighters! And transports, and shuttles, and cargo containers, and courier ships, and... stuff! Lotsa random, cool, useful, civillian stuff! Your FREDders will love you for it. Seriously, all of my civvy stuff has been created solely because I reach a point in a mission where I think "I really need this particular, specific piece of infrastructure", and so off I go and make it. There must have been hundreds of times when FREDders who can't also mod get to that point and then just have to stop because there's nothing for them to use. We should consider doing something about that.
Well if you hit a point in a mission where you don't have an asset to fill a role you either change the mission or get creative, like Derelict did with its asteroid base.

There's enough of everything in different styles to make several new factions (species?), and probably a few more with simple reskins.P.S. The above post is NOT meant to discourage from building new models, especially civilian/utility ones.
