Hi,

here is my version of the federation spacedock and two variants of it.

fdock_ur depicts the larger TNG � Version of the spacedock that can support even the largest federation ships.

fdock2 depicts the smaller TMG � Version
fdock3 can be used as a variant of it.

fdock_ur is a HQ-Model with 7148 polys.
fdock2 is a HQ-Model with 7988 polys.
fdock3 is a HQ-Model with 8204 polys.

fdock2 / 3 have higher poly- counts due to their antennae configuration

Since all run perfectly on my computer I think that�s no problem.

I am using large texture files for the stations (1024 x 1024). This my lead to problems with some older computers / graphic cards ( Excessive lagging for example) . I experienced none but cannot guarantee otherwise.
So you have been warned.


I made the models following the photos that you can find on the net. If you want to see some reference go to http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/

Do not be astonished about the long weapons list. The stations is quite tall so they are needed.
I have seldom seen it using them all.
If you do not like it change it.

HP- Maps are included.
Some additional info:
HP 01 � 10 are located on the centre axis an used targeting, see the odf.
HP 92 � 95 are located at the Hangars. I am using them for my fighter squadron. ( Not included )


Should any problem arise with these stations, you can send me a PM on armadafleetcommand.com.
