What a fantastic station!
I knew that I will want to give a review of this even before I saw that you have included a list of your inspiring builders, which included me. Thanks, that's a nice gesture. I'm happy to know that some of what I created had an inspirational effect on others, and I must say, this station of yours has inspired me as well. I just wish I had the time to start building an industrial structure similar to this, right now :D
So the first thing I love about "Kombinat 100" is that the moment someone takes a first glimpse at it, it immediately looks like how a space station should: it isn't built upon a flat base, it's pointy in all six directions, it employs a lot of extended frameworking, and it sort of realistically disregards gravity.
I like the overall layout of its parts. It really looks like a huge steel frame was built first, with everything else attached to it later on, like in the construction of skyscrapers. Having four girder branches sticking out from a tall central pillar, with stuff bolted to either the bottom or top of those girders, feels really space-stationy.
The second thing that's very appealing even from afar is its raw, utilitarian, industrial style. I'm kind of biased in this regard, because I'm a long-time fan of the industrial style in sci-fi art, but it is an objective fact that you nailed it in this project. The brown-yellow color scheme, those many huge tanks, the myriad of pipelines everywhere, the randomly arranged cargo carriages, and the disregard for the crew's sense of comfort by placing them there in open space... it's all very industrial. Nice turret arsenal and rotating antennas too, by the way.
And the modular nature of it... What a nice touch! On one hand, it's realistic (since real space stations are modular), on the other hand, I know from experience how fun it is to work with well-fitting, pre-fabricated modular units. The interior is splendid as well. The use of yellow materials, the dim lighting, and the ability to see the piping in the floors and ceiling is very appealing. It's a fine balance between utilitarian and cozy. Good job with the rail functions and displays too.
So in conclusion, this is a piece of industrial roleplay heaven! One of the reasons I want StarMade to survive, is to see more project of this nature. And I'd like to see either this further expanded, or maybe an even greater successor of it. - Congrats! :)
