Greetings, space travellers!
The peoples shipyard VEB Robotron is proud to announce its latest breakthrough in modular construction: Kombinat-42 - we succeeded in digging a modular habitat into an asteroid. This cheap construction method will enable us to step forward into the outer rims of the known galaxy on the hunt for precious resources.
Powered by two Tokamak T404 fusion reactors the station not only provides a warm habitat with a breathable atmosphere, in addition, one may find:
- factories producing at 1, 10, 100, 1,000 and 10,000 units per cycle
- internal storage capacity of 1,000,000 units
- external storage of 7,000,000 units in two dockable cargo containers
- warp gate for fast travel to distant asteroid fields
- internal shipyard for fighter-sized ships
- rich and interactive interior making use of the new display mechanics
- medical bay (with undeathinator)
- teleporter
Please note, the station has been designed as a factions home base. Therefore, the shield is currently quite weak and no turrets have been mounted so far.
Special thanks to Tshara for the asteroid field blueprint and DeepspaceMechanic for the airlock and capsule design.
Don't forget to reset the logic after spawning by pressing the "reset" button in the engineering bay!
And if you want to know, how to convince HAL 9000 to grant you access to the server room, just write me a message.
Tunnels connect the habitat modules within the main asteroid.
Factory units for all different needs.
In the command center, a large array of screens shows the signatures of spaceships in the system. Well, not relly, but it serves as a nice decoration by randomly appearing signatures.
The command center is the place where all the systems of the station are under vigilance by the crew. In the background you can see one of the airlocks of the pressurized habitat.
The habitat can provide a living space for up to ten crew members.
The flagship "Sigmund Jaehn" can neatly be docked onto the mining outpost.
The "Sigmund Jaehn" has just been undocked and is now being pushed away from the station.
Large cargo containers are docked to the station. A transport ship is currently under construction.
The shipyard in the lower levels of the sation can be used to draft and produce any kind of smaller ship.
Two Tokamak fusion reactors power the station and its systems.
The modules in the basement are connected by tunnels as well, an elevator connects the two levels.
Honestly, I am quite bad in exterior design and, therefore, I was quite exited when I stumbled over Tsharas blueprint of the asteroid field. To dig a base into an asteroid was something I had in mind for a while, but I was not capable of creating a good looking asteroid in the first place. ;)
