Space Prison

[Farel17]

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.
