    Hey everyone this is my first post so any mess ups is hopefully from not knowing rather than me just being dumb

    Im currently starting a station for the faction im in on Red-Shift, SPACE POLICE, and its going to be a prison station, i already have 4 basic power cubes, 1 defense (one that has shields in it), one that is dedicated to power making and storage, and 2 hybrids that are in progress.
    as soon as i figure out haw to take screenshots and upload them here ill start doing that and you can see the station.
    I plan on makeing that station either a tube in the middle with 5 cylinders around it or a giant sphere, but most likely its going to end up beint a massive cube :)

    im also going to use the grills and meshing as part of it

    Blast away, but don't get caught

    A prison station, that's actually pretty interesting. I suggest that you make the cells out of glass and aligned around a central tube. Making the cells docked entities so that they can be moved around (to solitary confinement or something) could be pretty cool too :D .

    You can do screenshots by pressing F5 (for screenshots with the GUI) or F6 (for screenshots without the GUI).
    Then you can find the screens in your starmade folder :)
    A popular image hoster is Imgur. You can register there and then upload your screenshots.
    I hope that helps a bit ;)

    To your station:
    I'd love to see it as the first variant you've said. The tube with the cylinders around it.

    thanks with the cells i was planing on making a general holding with a a large glass ceiling for observing the prisoners, and the walls hull with a mesh or grate hallway out of the area with several checkpoints and undeathys in a variate of areas
    then on a lower level i was going to do individual cells out of hull with a light, and undeathy and a wedge bed
    For the docked entities i was planing on doing a 3*3*4, the inside would be 2*1*1 for the prisoner, solitary confinement with the undeather in a holding area while they wait for their solitary cell
    I already have started the station and i have 1 prison transport awaiting a place to be

    to recap cause the long post :)
    docked entities: solitary confinement cells, auto security turrets, prison transport
    Level wise: lvl1: docking, and check in
    lvl2: general holding, and observation offices
    lvl3: cafeteria (maybe), and medical bay (maybe)
    lvl4: individual cells
    lvl5: solitary confinement
    Central tube: main offices, power and defense, control center

    the reason im not using docked entities as cells is that you can put undeathys on ship unfortunetly but i may end up doing the cells like that and having undeathys in the central tube

    Just stick the undeathinators in the yard, because there WILL be one, right ;) ? And you should really add a cafeteria, it will make things more interesting.
