Nexus Station (Updated!)

Nexus Station is designed to be a central hub offering trade, entertainment, and hospitality services to travelers. The main level features a spaceport with landing pads and docking ports while the lower levels feature a great many things including an entire city level. The Station is organized into four quadrants based on the landing pads. The city blocks, engineering, baggage handling, etc are numbered to correspond with the landing pad above them.

It's basically a big theme park with a lot of different areas that you'd expect to find in such a structure. There's also a lot of pop culture references and an easter egg or two. Fun stuff. It's a big place to wander around and explore and get lost in. It has a shield but no guns. I'm planning to make some kind of defensive satellites for it at some point.

Size class: 182
Materials: Various and lots of it

The lower decks feature in no particular order:

A city level with guest rooms, shops, and entertainment
Two habitat rings with residential areas, more shops, and entertainment.
Engineering Sections with furnaces, constructors, storage, deconstructor.
Hangar bays with easy access to medical areas, armor lockers, o2 stations, and engineering.

Rumor is there's a maintenance issue in one of the habitat rings. There seems to be a mechanical breakdown of some sort. Station crew have been noncommittal on the nature of the malfunction but a few people passing through noted some sort of slimy growth on the walls before station personnel closed the area down. Guards have been posted to keep onlookers away but the Station Commander assures everyone it's not dangerous. Nope. Not dangerous at all.


Core location: Tractor Beam control level. Inside the main control tower.


4-6-2020: Finally, eh? The station has undergone another massive update and I'm excited to finally be able to share it! A lot has changed. If you're already familiar with Nexus Station there's plenty of new stuff for you to explore.

Pics are updated but by no means comprehensive.

See change notes for full details.

Notable changes:
The overall design aesthetic went from 80s chintz to sleek and modern.
Fixed the X/Y axis. It's symmetrical now. This one has been a long time coming. Pro tip: Measure twice, cut once. Make sure everything lines up BEFORE you're a hundred hours into a build.
Remodeled the casino.
Remodeled Engineering.
Added two habitat rings under the station. One for crew quarters, the other features a mall, theater, hockey arena, shops, and a jail.
Expanded the subway. It connects with the new habitat rings. I also added doors to make it easy to get the Nexus Monorail Car MkII in and out.
Updated the hangars. Went from 2 small hangars to 8 larger ones. Completely redesigned.
I also deleted a bunch of lights and npcs to try and keep fps at a somewhat reasonable level.


Let me know if you find anything broken!


A version of the station with no npcs can be found here.
