Ok - the model itself is very simple - i used 3 pirimitives on doing this. Since i was 'thinking' about the jinkusu - I have made large spread clamps - well not clamps - I was thinking something that can hold a ship by magnetizing the hull of the ship. The docking bays are beneath the station which contains 12 hangars -
THOUGH, this will be reduce to 4 docking hardpoints instead of 12.
Furthermore, this is a rough model - meaning that it is not finish yet. It still needs antennas few more details and I think thats all it needs.
Here it is:
The pic doesn't look good as I suspected - but atleast it shows something. The Towers are mostly like Jinx's own, however, with a bit of changes nothing much. Credits goes to him;)
' Wrote:meh, need more modular pieces to form stations from otherwise it's just the same station here and there.
I OBJECT!!
The model is completely diffrent compared to many other stations. Of course the fuel tanks maybe looking the same, but other than that - it is diffrent.
He means that unique stations are just that, unique. One station among many in Sirius. Whilst one module can be used throughout Sirius on any and all stations.
That doesn't mean this isn't good however. It's a fantastic model but I have a few points about it.
The hangers, they come to a single point in a triangular shape. That seems quite odd compared to other hangers around Sirius. Maybe join up all the hangers with a circle in the center of the station? Just would add some depth to the station.
The main 'disc' that makes up the main body of the station could do with being a bit taller. Make it have a bit more volume really.
Just a few suggestions, really is a good model and will be a good addition to Disco:)
I like it and I would use it (I'd replace Livadia with this), but as TLM said, it'd be better to make modules from now own, or generic base models that we can attach modules to (See; Corfu base model [co_mining_base], and similars). We want to keep Discovery as small in size as possible, so we need models that can be reused. That is not to say you shouldn't submit this to Igiss, it's a great model, but also make some generic bases and base modules.
What we are also looking for are some house modules and house bases (but still bases where you can attach modules, not unique ones). What we want to do is have houses have their own design themes. For example, a Kusari station shouldn't look like a Liberty station. The current base models would work really well for Liberty and Rheinland, but Kusari is more devoted to visually artistic designs (see their buildings when you dock planets in Kusari), while Bretonia uses more curves than straight lines and hard edges like current base models have.
So submit this, then try to make some things we can reuse as well. An updated shipyard dock would be nice, since the current ones are rather bland cylinders. Also, factory modules could use some diversity, there is only the one model for those currently (see the modules behind Pueblo Station).
Sorry for the incovenience, my computer had very horrible technical problems that cannot be fixed - it had a small blow out. However, the hard drive it's safe so I have to run a backup on all the files and move it to the new computer by thursday. The updated model will appear hopefully by friday or saturday.
Also, hopefully this will be imported to discovery GC on replacing Lividia Shipyard. This station will have 1 (one) Jinkusu Juggernaught on the docking clamps. I will take screenshots on how it will look like hopefully when i get my new computer. So let us have patience on this thread for now.
And pray to god that my files aren't deleted accidently.

I'm planning to cut it out and put smething better. If not, (if im lazy) i will just add a plate module and scale the main body by 3%.

Don't bother doing that. I'll simply add an undockable Jinkusu to the station when I mod it into the system, it'll be a lot easier and quicker that way. Plus if the Jinkusu model ever gets changed we would need to change the one in the docks as well, which will be harder if it is part of the model.
Got the new laptop (Asus: Republic of Gamers). Soon I'll be backing up all the files from my previous laptop to the new one. So in time, a new model of this will be implemented. Also, I am going to try and get some hints from Jinx's models on how to make it more Zonerish.
