CLOSED* CONTEST: Default Stations Submission

[Rhyssia]

Kids, calm down.

This is the contest thread. I'd assume it means posting stations and possibly opinions/criticism, not an entire page dedicated to what the definition of an opinion is. If you need to wave your arms and make a scene please, please do it somewhere else.

hahah sorry, we are done now anyways

What I have made so far

 

[GaeasSon]

I appreciate the input both for and against my last update. There is a fine line between "detailed" and "busy". I feel I have crossed that line. Therimmer96 had it exactly right that I was reacting to the detail that was part of the other stations. (dear freaking gods, some of them are amazing) I was trying to stay on my own list of the best 5 trade stations, and I was frankly feeling ... um... let's just say I was "compensating".

The blacklight to blue fadey things were not entirely arbitrary. Those are heat-exchangers. Now that I have them I'm keeping them, but I think I'll move them off the external hull, and tone down the external light effects a bit. I'm on the fence about the reactant tanks at the top and bottom.

If you have further input, please message me directly or comment at http://gaeasson-shipwright.blogspot.com/2014/08/trade-station-final.html

I'd rather not monopolize this thread.

My entry, it's still awaiting approval. It would be a lot more abandoned looking if there was a reasonable way to switch all the lights off and add light switches. My low graphics settings don't help the screenshots much either. Here are some pictures (more pictures in the link):

A chessboard. It is playable by picking up a piece and placing it somewhere else, if you can remember what the terrain represents!

The outside. I was going for a look somewhere between the current station, and the international space station. It is intentionally pretty plain on the outside.

Science labs.

Room where you go if you want to stare into space.

Half an internet cookie if you can guess what this is....

Hospital section, part of the ~1700m of maintenance tunnels, engineering sections, pirate damage during construction etc:

This station is quite small compared to a lot of the entries (116k blocks I think), but the inside is confusing and maze-like. I can get slightly lost in there, and I built it!

So does last possible timezone mean alaska/hawaii/pacific islands time?

I'm guessing UTC-12:00. (Hawaii -2)

I would like it more if you expanded horizontally, but the interior is well planned

Pressure seems to create detail rather quickly it seems:

My thoughts exactly. No offense, but even as a Minecraft player that makes my eyes hurt. We have wedges. Use them.

I thought it was good the way it was, but extra eyes give a better view, so I will wedges on :P

Well, that depends on the look you're going for. If you want it to be a bit fough and scrappy on the outside, don't give it wedges. Considering it's a trading guild station, wedges might be a good idea.

I can't wait to start voting! May the best stations win (three more hours in which people can submit awesomeness, I can't wait!)

 

[starhaiden]

I think schema is going to use the top stations for the universe change

Wait, Only three more hours!? I was under the assumption I had 14 hours left! *dies*

 

[starhaiden]

my time zones says it is 7.00pm 13/08/14 it is not the 12/08/14 for me

My current clock is "Tue 8/12/14, 17:00, [-5 UTC]" So I'm hoping I can at least get 7 more hours squeezed out.

 

[starhaiden]

why do you put the month before the date

 

[Rhyssia]

It's an American standard format.
Also as of now from my understanding, the deadline is midnight UTC-12 meaning exactly 13* hours remaining.

*Bad at mathing right now (REALLY BAD)

Tranquility Station is my submission for the station contest. I started building really late unfortunately so it’s a last minute submission.

The station is part of the neutral faction. So basically an abandoned station. However I see this station more as mothballed.
It’s in perfect order just stripped of all equipment. The only thing left are the power and shield systems.

Because of that I made the interior mostly gray scale and the power and shield systems a bright primary color. They really pop out that way.
If a player claims this station there should be plenty of room to add to it or even improve it.
