Premise: I can't draw, so laughter is welcome :D

Name: Modular Station

What I thought of creating is a central ark-shaped station made in a modular way so that each space has certain resources. Connected to the ark are energy panels and around macro areas connected but separated from each other. So externally everything is connected but each area works autonomously. The extreme part, where the various panels are connected, is the command area of ​​the ark from where everything can be managed.

Text that didn't fit on Bluesky:

My design started out with me wondering what could an equivalent to the James Webb Space Telescope look like in the Elite Dangerous future. It's not yet possible to travel between galaxies there so I figured that giant telescopes would still have their place in research. It could potentially be useful for studying Thargoids' past.

It's a 9 km long self-sustainable, self-propelled station that features a giant 2.8 km mirror made out of 61 hexagonal segments.

The station can support over 10 000 people but it usually has a smaller population consisting of maintenance, administration, research and support staff.

It has a habitat ring measuring 4 km in diameter and 180 m in width, producing around 1 g. Its upper level is used for food production and greenery while living quarters with transportation are situated in the lower levels of the ring.

One special feature is its concourse, which is situated right in the middle of the mirror, in its blind spot created by the sensor structure. It's protected by a glass dome measuring 200 m in diameter to allow for unobstructed view of space. You can find all the important services like Vista Genomics in the lower level, a bar on the 2nd level and more seating area on the 3rd.

One could find these stations basically anywhere in the galaxy. Often quite far from the Bubble. They can serve as safe havens for explorers. Quite a bit like DSSA carriers.

Hello Commanders

I'm terrible at designing hehe.. But I tried to make this station with Paint 3D.

I present to you this space station called “Hera” (goddess of the sky and stars)

It is a mix between Coriolis and Orbis type stations.

Inside it would be very similar to existing space stations. Even its size would be similar as well.

It would have a ring around it but not so separated from the station. In that ring there would be rooms like a command center, administration, and even rooms for accommodation.

The station would also have defense turrets.

The most important and outstanding feature is that, unlike other space stations, this space station would have a wide and round entrance (not rectangular like the ones currently there), which would make it much easier for ships to enter and exit without risk of colliding.

I hope you like it!

Inspired by the general design of advert station from the upcoming Trailblazers expansion, but expanded into a full-fledged major trading port. Notable for its capacity to dock 64 large, 64 medium, and 128 small ships, this station is intended to handle significant economic throughput.

Alex Sinclair Does this have to be a station in space? Planetary bases allowed?

Osiliran - For this one, we are looking for stations in space, but - spoiler alert - we have another one planned for planetary bases and settlements o7
