Although, I gotta say, this possibly looks more like a Core 2. Maybe a Core 1 shouldn't have the disc on top, only the central tower? And possibly not even the storage module (or whatever it is) at the bottom?
But proper docking bays, and proper mooring points? YAS!!

The reason I put that all in there for core 1 is because I wanted something that, from the beginning, looks like a functional space station capable of plausibly holding 200 crew with room for cargo. Core 2 is going to have an industrial module of some sort on the bottom hardpoint along with additional storage tanks. Core 3 and up are going to expand off of the side hardpoints.

Fair point, can't argue with that.

i like it. it looks way more functional as a base. at the start seeing you have 200 crew and scientist if you add certain modules also let us not forget the base core one has storage of 30k. the current PoB core one looks like a storage rental unit. i would really be interested to see the other cores look like. but going any higher than 5 would be a waste seeing 5 is as high as they go in the current disco state
They're coming along nicely! I'd advocate for these new models, definitely. Perhaps though, once the replacements are put in, anyone who wants to retain their POB v1.0 models can request them back? Something to help folks who have had their bases up for a while show off that fact, if they choose to do so.
