Description
During wartimes, these easy-to-assemble outpost stations serve as advance bases, scouting posts, supply depots and emergency ship repair/refiting yards.In peacetime, the outposts are used to maintain garrisons and supply military operations in neutral territory, and serve as a reminder of the UE Republic's might.
A large number of these stations have been abandoned, especially during the First System War, and many of them have been taken over by new tenants in the UESF's absence. This station design is popular with smuggling cartels and pirate clans due to its large storage bays and military refiting facilities, allowing damaged ships to quickly drop cargo, receive repairs, and get back on the run before authorities can catch up. Couple these advantages with the fact that many of these stations remain uncharted (due to their former military nature), and you have a perfect recipe for a den of criminals.
NOTE: This is a rather crude station I designed quite a while back. Finally decided to put it up. The ship in the background is an Arcangel-class battleship [link] provided for a sense of scale.

Zoh my god. I have been wracking my brain to come up with a station design with something other than a typical overused umbrella or other circular shape. You sir, have nailed it. Bravo.

Yah, nailing good station designs isnt easy...my latest attempt looked more like a human hand with a tumor than an orbital outpost.

I have another station I'll post soon, but its not as clean as this one. I like it a lot, but its very... busy. Which is realistic, and serves its purpose, but it makes it hard to see what everything is without alot of closeups.

I can't help but get the feeling that all these are leading up to your own version of EVE.
...Which would be downright bangin'.
