    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)
    Should be 14 hours.
    Code:
    $ date --rfc-3339 seconds

    Haha, I'm sorry for the confusion I caused. I did some (actually all) miscalculations. There actually are just under 14 hours left. :eek: :confused: :( ... :) ;) (11 more hours of awesomeness more than I initially thought, yay! :) )

    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.

    The Link can be found here:

    Wow, this is really awesome. Well done.

    ...if there was a reasonable way to switch all the lights off and add light switches.
    The only workaround I figured out was to have the activation module built first and selected with "c", then place all the lights that should be connected to that switch AFTER so they are selected and bound by default.
    Since activation modules can be chained together, you can pre-build a bank of lights bound to a module, copy/pastah, and then place a few more activation blocks around and connect them together to "wire" the permissioned switch(s) into the lightbanks.

    @Rhyunix :Sorry whoever you are, but that station just seems, how shall I put it, messy? We were trying to get rid of the old stations for a reason (mainly because they were outdated) and we wanted to use the new blocks to their full extent, and you somehow managed not to do that. Seriously, your station needs to look more streamlined, because as it is right now, I don't think anyone actually wants to see it in the game by default (I know I don't).

    Definitely agreed. I wasn't going to say it, but... I'm about half a centimeter away from doing what I rarely do and posting completely unconstructive criticism. That station is indeed messy, and for the last time, NEEDS WEDGES. Also, even with wedges, it's probably the most underwhelming station in the contest. Though I know almost for a fact that it won't win, try adding some solar panels and stuff along with the WEDGES, just for the sake of having your own neat-looking personal station blueprint.

    By the way, do you have some kind of lore on yours? Is that thing between the two thingies an asteroid or a cloud of particles because there are some ships magically under construction, or something entirely different?

    (Oh, and it still needs more red!)

    Golden rule: If you want useful criticism, don't ask people who tend to agree with you/like you. I think FunnyBunny14's post was rather useful.

    I didn't mean it harsh, and it was useful. I said the station needed to look more streamlined. It was a bit too blocky.
    This is an example of not useful criticism:
    "That is rubbish!"
    And it just is an example so everyone knows what me not giving useful criticism looks like.
