How about something kind of like this http://static3.wikia...h_3_Station.jpg

 

but with a docking ring around the mid section, and Onager batteries at the top and bottom?

I could see that, maybe. but it would need a MAJOR texture overhaul and maybe be more elongated width wise. But i really like the onager idea

Maybe it could resemble a upscaled SMAC station, but replacing the SMAC with a series 8 MAC, four SMACs on each side, and littered with point-defense cannons. Because it would be big enough, it would probably be able to hold some fighter squadrons. the only name I can think of for it is the Maginot station.

Holy crap that would be awesome, I would more than love to see that, but wasnt maginot of fourunner origin?

And French origin, from their huge defensive line in the early 1900s.

ok thanks for the clarification, but still i like the SMAC on steroid idea but perhaps replace the point defens cannons with onagers

Might as well just have both onagers and point-defense railguns for better anti-fighter defense.

We could have it start our with guns AA then with the second weapon upgrade give it archer followed maybe four (or more) MACs that are turreted we could go the onerger route and scale them up some or we could losely base them off the mini Mac that the Mammoth had and again scale them up some.

I swear the longer this thread this open the more awesome ideas i see, i really hope that there is even a small chance i can see that in game

I got a name idea for all these conceptual stations we've been imagining willy nilly. Munire class starbase, just a idea, got it off of the latin word for fortify.

[Antigeist]

Why not do something like what the Borg have in SOA2? Make a station with a wide variety of upgrades: AAA, archer pods, repairs bays, SMACs, hangar bays, etc, and have it add to the model as you add upgrades. So the "look" of Gamma station is dependent on what you have it do.

[wex3^4]

"Munire" would be a good name....other possibilities could include "Bastion" or "Citadel", which are a bit less obscure....though the second might get boo'ed by those familiar with Mass Effect.

Would be nice, but are you planning to volunteer to help the mod staff make and implement these models? That would be a .....bit.....of extra work there for our poor unpaid modders.

Another naming idea, Ares class star base. Or the Romea/roma class star base, being that rome was a mega civ that was ultra defended

 

and id have to agree, making a entire extra model for ONE upgrade is way to impractical.

Omega Station

[m468]

Rone itself was not very well defended...
In fact generals were not allowed to cross the Rubicon River with their troops. As such when Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with his troops their was nothing to stop him from taking control of Rome.

[Cole Protocol]

I like the Omega station idea, and the Rome thing, your right that was a little stupid on my part... but still maybe a Caesar class base.

Omega Station

i put that forward 

 

Call it the omega class orbital emplacement. "the last thing those covvies ever see." could be its quote for when you select it.

How about something like this:

Made with 2 of gravehearts sketchup models.
