Does anyone have ideas for the design or the style? I could see something like this being built by either the Zoners, Junkers or possibly Cryer so that offers up a lot of potential.
Make it utilise "natural parts". A large space rock fitted with makeshift engines. A rock that eventually grew with many artificial additions. It shouldn't be too "clean" looking, perhaps a few unused, broken parts should be sticking out.
It reminds me for the belly of the zoner juggy a bit. A flying city or some kind of base complex with some defense and communication platforms could be the best.
About the limitation of the devs. If admins give the idea a go and it could be part of this game, I'm happily offer a billion for a dev who could make it.
Actually, that is something i'd like to see in more of these discussions. An admin approval.
Things never get done, because we never get an answer from those who count. The community is resourceful, we can even pull out some models ourselves and work on stuff like this.
We have plenty to offer. All we need is a good, solid, 'yes'
I'm a bit unsure about the rock with engines but I agree that it shouldn't look shiny and new.
The design I have in my head is two prison liners welded together to create a platform with the habitation areas, food domes and hangars bolted on to it. Think like the inside of the blood dragons asteroid base but on top of two liners, that kind of thing.

The Admin team, in general, have nothing to do with implantation of models. They don't dictate balance and anything development-related either - that's the devs you are on about.
Sure, lots of the admins are also devs but that's a whole different matter, but there are those who aren't - like Jansen.
At any rate, while this idea might be good at its core, lacking a model it won't pass, since we already lack the amount of needed, good, modelers.
Epic idea. I love it. For the design, I'd suggest something like a space city/a collection of Biodomes that appear to be just cobbled together, along with a lot of docking modules.
EDIT: Actually, I *think* I saw an old model somewhere that could fit this. If I find it again, I'll post a pic.
I think this might be the one you're thinking of Void.
It's not a bad model it just lacks detail. If it's going to be a mobile station I'd like to see it, make it clear from the quickest glance that the ship is made to be lived on.
