How can i build a military base?
I have built a plot, but its just named factory, it needs 20 x turrets and a dock and enough storage containers to hold 40000

take a closer look at the Argon, Teladi and Paranid Defence Stations... those contain all modules that define a Military Base.

let the inspiration flow through your veins after you have studied the named Stations and be creative while staying below the estimated Mission Reward when you plan such a Station.


Reminder, Factions will now take Control of Mission Stations you have build.

Take note of the fact that for it to be a Defence Station it must have an "Administrative Module" as its first module built.

You can edit the name and change it to military base. Then you can build it as you wish.

Those are not the same "Build Defense Station" only asks for a certain amount of turrets marginal higher then regular "Build Factory" missions.

Actual Defense Station that can contest Sector ownership (Shield Icon) have to have a Administration module.

there is a variation in wich you have to start the station with a defense disc or defense bridge module to get it registered as defense station... but that one won't contest the system.

and a simple design would be indeed.. a defense disc / bridge, one or 2 small container storages and a dock... done.

though.. i personally don't want my universe cluttered with minimalistic rubish stations.. if i have to build something it has to look nice.
