    Darn, my target must've been wrong when I saved the thing...
    You probably were in a ship when you saved the targeted station. The current occupied ship will be the one you save, only your target will be saved if you are not in a shipcore (so as astronaut).

    It's always useful to check your own blueprint, it's what I do. It's not the first time people have uploaded the wrong version or the wrong ship ^^

    ugh, It was supposed to be abandoned space station ;_; (old and abandoned shipyard)
    Still - I'm very happy that my station made it to the final voting stage.

    Also, how one is possible to vote? So much awsome stuff!

    Well it's sounding like people want videos done before the voting ends, to better see what each station is like.

    Station contestants, feel free to add a SHORT blurb about your station on your download page, if you do not already have one.

    This is not something you have to do, it would however greatly expedite my process, as well as allowing me to better portray your station to the masses. I will be discussing some of the features of each station without giving my personal opinion, that way the choice comes down to the viewers.

    As it didnt have any special 'tag' or 'namely' stated it is for abandoned I enlisted it as 'trade station'.
    I suggested moving it to neutral, but did not discuss it internally with others, and therefore it stayed 'Trade station'.
    Seems a bit like this is my bad it stayed in that category.
    As far as I know, editing the poll and removing one option, would result in resetting it.

    Sorry for that mistake.

    I have a feeling my station that I submitted awhile ago may have been moved to a different category as well. It can easily be re-colored though for other options.

    I know it is more the fault on my side, but still I was quite surprised when I saw it here, since it doesn't have much in common with the scheme for Trading Guild stations.
    Despite all that, I'm not saying that you are the worst or anything (could say opposite, to be honest ;) ). After all, I'm participating here of my own accord, so I feel more honoured than discouraged.
    Thanks for reply,
    - Dark

    I plan to do a video series showcasing the new stations going in the game. Would you guys rather see short videos of all the entries to be voted on? Or wait until the winners have been chosen and do a more in-depth look on each?
    Having all stations in one vid - wouldn't it be a 1GB vid? :D

    I think it is hard to _compare_ the ones you like because some don't even have a screenie of every room.

    Correct.
    Moved it to 'neutral' as it had huge hangars and a 'factory area'.
    It looked like a place to take over and occupy, rather than a static trade-object without any possible changes. (Trade= Static, cant change or takeover)

    - Andy

    [Edit]
    Addition:
    Anyway, any signup here is not forced to any category.
    Any server can easily move or replace the default station to own needs and desires. It will only affect 'Vanilla' games. So people that just installed Starmade and are on their first tour through the game.
    Most players and I imagine most servers will change the stations anyway.

    And to be honest:
    Choosing only 5 stations from this list, is not fair for most of them.
    From my tour around them and while importing them to the dev-testserver about 60-75% had the quality to come into the game without any refinement needed.

    That's why it will be a series =P lol I'm thinking 1-2 minute videos each which I'll put in a playlist so they can all be viewed in one place, without having to load them up in singleplayer.

    So many station to choose from, so few to make it in the end.

    Make wise choices people, not only with an outside view! They also need good interiors as we'll be able to walk inside of them! :)

    @AndyP : Do you know anything about increasing the number of NPCs in the new TG stations? To make them look alive and busy?
