Military Outpost Requirements

What we want you to design and construct is a small(ish) military outpost that serves the purpose of being a defensive platform to protect the borders and outskirts of a vast space empire. The crew's service on this outpost will be extremely long, which is why the station should supply the crew with some basic comfort and a few luxuries.

The station will be far from any other outpost/colony and the only ships that may visit this godforsaken place of the galaxy are supply or trade ships on their way into more populated areas of the empire.
This means that the station needs to be outfitted with at least one hangar for shuttle services or to store a fighter and a docking node to be able to transfer items between a ship and the station. That docking node should also connect to a conveyor belt within the outpost to automatically refill the reactors, etc..


Important Aspects:

• Has to be a station
  
• Needs to be armed
  
• Can not be built inside/partially into an asteroid
  
• Station Maximum size: 100x100x100 large blocks
  
• Hangar minimum size: 5x4x3 large blocks

Important Modules/Compartments:

• Hangar for Shuttle/Fighter
  
• Docking Node with Extended Connector for Item Transfer
  
• Crew Quarters
  
• Mess Hall/Leisure Room
  
• Control Room
  
• Cargo Hold
  
• 20x Solar Panels

IMPORTANT: Mods are not allowed for this contest!

Fantastic, im in.

[EverythingCanBeBoofedIfYouThinkA]

Oh boy!

Can it be a combination of small block/big blocks?

I've actually been working on a long-range Scouting and Support system of ships.
I don't want to give too much away, but it's multi-part, so there are some non--station block bits,
if that's ok?

[Abyzmi]

Alright, here we go!

[Cramat]

@ Snowcrash
No, the station may not be built into an asteroid, since some people can benefit from having better asteroids generated than others. To give everyone a fair chance you will not be allowed to build inside or partially into an asteroid.

@L1LB0AR
It can, yes. Some people tend to use small blocks to create interior decoration and we do not want them to refrain from that.

I'm definitely in for this. Should be an interesting one for me since I haven't really dabbled with conveyors and the like very much, but more crucially, in the entire time that I have owned and played SE (220+ hours) I have NEVER made a space station, only ships!

[MysticMalevolence]

Awesome! I can use that design that's been stuck in my head for a while...
But I'm a bit confused: Are the sizes measured length*height*width or length*width*height?

[MysticMalevolence]

I hope you all remember not to leave those connectors on. Risky buisness, that...
EDIT: No medbays on the list for July?

Doesn't matter. 100x100x100 is a perfect square

Cube is, I'm sure, what you meant :)

EvilDylan, I always assume that the standard "length x width x height" applies.

...But 5x4x3 isn't.

[xF4LC0NxPUNCHx]

Hence, 5 wide, 4 long (deep), 3 tall :)

[bgrubz]

Wooot....called it!

[dragonfirecustoms]
