Sector: StarTrek 1 to 1, Federation Space Dock


This is my biggest build yet.  The Federation Space Dock is a full 1 to 1 scale ship construction facility scaled to accommodate even a full scale Galaxy, Sovereign or Nebula class ship.

Note!  This is a full sector export with a star-base, not a ship!  See instructions here: http://star-made.org/content/exportimport-whole-sectors

LAG WARNING!  This thing is frimping huge.  If you could move planets, you could park one inside the structure.  Not for systems faint of processor or light of memory!

  • 20 base-turrets defend the structure
  • A spacious shuttle and loading dock allows for ample parking
  • A shop module is built in, allowing for easy storage and deployment of ship-building supplies

Star Trek: Mirror Temugin

(not canon, but canon-compatible)

5 AM cannon arrays:
2x 656 default damage
2x 756 default damage
1x 1843 default damage

14 large turrets:  8 dorsal, 6 ventral
6 small turrets

In the mirror universe timeline from Star Trek, the militaristic Terran Empire was engaged in a process of demilitarization and reform under the influence of its version of Mr. Spock.  This was a good idea at the worst possible time.  The most powerful refutation of Spock's reforms came in the form of "The Alliance", a union of the Klingon and Cardassian empires.  Temugin was built as an answer to that threat.

to everything turn turn turn.... TURN DAMMIT!

(Yes I'm still on break, bite me)

OK, Schema has tweaked the physics engine.    I just tried to turn my Miranda and it was slow as sap in January.   I'm thinking the Galaxy class has just been demoted to "star-base on rails" for most practical purposes.   So unless Schema does some more tweaking between here and there I think that's what I'll start back building in November... Star-bases.  Star bases don't have to turn, you see.

Yes, I know you can't export and save Star bases, but you CAN export sectors with star bases in them.  So I think my next major project will be the Regula 1 science station and "genesis" asteroid from the "Wrath of Kahn"
