Theta-4 Processing Outpost

    Theta-4 Processing Outpost Theta-4

    Game version
    0.200.234
    The Theta-4 Outpost is a relatively cheap, easy-to construct station for those who want to settle down in a new system and want to jump-start their economy. The station provides room for customization and moderate comfort, as well as a factory/refinery suite and adequate storage for early game. 8 Calliope hybrid turrets and moderate shielding protect from minor incursions, although docked vessels might not be fully covered and the station's own power supply is only enough to fuel its own facilities.
    For longer deployments, the station's outer ring offers plenty of space to install additional living quarters, and provides recreational areas such as a small park and a night club.

    Features:
    - 438K shields with 10840/s recharge
    - Shop module
    - Refinery: 1000/cycle processing speed
    - 2 basic, 2 standard, 2 advanced factories with 400 blocks/cycle processing speed
    - 2 basic, 2 standard, 2 advanced factories with 40/cycle processing speed
    - 2 basic, 2 standard, 2 advanced factories with 1/cycle processing speed
    - Crew quarters, med bay, transporter bay, mess hall, central elevator, night club in the outer ring, space for more rooms in the outer ring
    - 276K storage refinery, 302K general storage
    - 8 USD compatible airlocks
    - 8 Calliope missile/beam/kinetic - beam/missile/heat hybrid turrets for defense
    - Factory power efficiency chamber, optional factory bake time reduction chamber (inactive by default, uses a lot of power)

    Generally, the idea is that it's a small station made with cheap materials (aside the inevitably expensive reactor and chambers) so you can spawn one in the system you want to mine dry, claim system through the fac block to get the mining bonus, and use a mining ship to do the actual mining. It was originally meant as "My first half-decent factory station" when starting anew after moving to a diff server/server universe reset, and it usually outlives its usefulness once it processed enough raw resources so you can build a bigger, better defended and equipped station.
    Looks great, but for some reason the turrets don't work even though they're turned on.
    Nice work matt :)
