Hi,

I got tired of all the same looking stations and kitbashes for the feds, so I did something new.

I got inspired while watching some of my DS9 DVDs. There it was mentioned that Com. Sisko was responsible for the construction of orbital habitats before taking command of DS9.

I just asked myself how they would look like. Well, out came this station.

Its non cannon, but I hope you like it anyway.


About the SOD:

It is a high poly model of 6938 polys. Made for Armada 2

I had no problems with it on my computers although I build up to 8 of them on one map.
One a 3 Ghz P4 the other an old 600mhz Athlon.

But I can not guarantee for a lesser machine.

The SOD has a high number of Hardpoints because I hate it when weapons are firing through a base, it just dos not look right. So every weapon has several HPs just to avoid that.
Take a look at the enclosed HP Maps for further information.
You will need them if you want to change the armament.

Take a look at the odf. It is made to fit my personal mod.
Therefore the base has the firepower of a fleet. Change that to your liking

Just to your convenience.
