Solid CVs that function as a mobile space station / base?

[Xarq]

Hello all

So I’m looking to trim down a list of CVs that function as mobile Space stations / mobile base for the Vanilla version of the game. My only requirements are really:

Does it look like a Space Station in space / not a capital vessel per say ? (bonus points if yes)
Is it possible to dock a fairly large combat focused CV onto it ? (basically 86 m wide and 134 m long) (bonus points if yes)

Baring what I’m looking for specifically - Do you know of any good ones not on this list? Do you have experience with some on the list? Any favorites?

I made this more of a proof of concept, but it does actually work. i converted one of my space cities to a cv and added more turret towers to it. along with engine compartments and it flew. actually quite well...

There arent any that function as a base since you cant build certain things on a ship that can only be built on a base, unless you cheat.

I plan on spawning a actual BA (Base) in space for 2 furnaces and 2 deconstructors once I arrive at a location I'll be staying at while.

Best station for helios modules IMHO is this one:

He has 3 variants of it, I can not remember which one I used as a basis, needed some updates. But overall this is IMHO best lightweight space station for helios modules.

I kinda like to use the Thoas. Generally i like to use my own builds but the Thoas is one of the few Carriers that can haul all my ships.

Thanks for the suggestion. I love the look and slimness of the Thoas. Figures the builder would be Willy H. I like a lot of that guy's builds.

its all good if you dont use it, its size 15 I think and expensive and would take forever to spawn naturally. 35 hours so far
