[O-F04] Planetary Base

[Lego_Nerd98]

This is a BUILDING for the Octan Corporation, on planet F04.Here is a planetary station I constructed as a quick stop for Octan ships. With refueling ports all around the base, it is perfect for any ship getting ready to travel into M.A.N.T.I.S. territory. With an armory, sleeping quarters, storage rooms, a huge energy array, control center, and more, you could even stay a few nights. It also features a small cargo truck and small ship. It is built high upon giant supports and features a track going down to the surface. It also has a double-sided radar dish to keep an eye out for any aliens or unwanted rival corporation ships.

Very nice! A couple things to keep in mind:

Photography: I know it can be hard with something this big, but it really helps to have a solid color background and even lighting.

Format: Please add the stuff at the top of the post as seen here:

The judges have written some clarification of the rules for build tagging. For each tag we've laid out specifically which jobs, equipment and techs it will give you a bonus for. If you do not correctly include the tag exactly as it is below, you won't get the bonus.

Rules for tags:

At the very start of your post, please post the location and tags for your build, exactly like this example:

Location: E01

Tags: Military, Vehicle, Airplane

Please don't include any tags that aren't on the list below. That includes things like 'piloting', 'research' or 'ground vehicle'. In the past the judges have been kind and translated these to the correct tags (which would be Spaceship, Science, and Land Vehicle in this case), but they may not in future. It only takes a minute to check this list for the correct tags, so please do so or you risk losing out on bonuses. In the actual post's tags (i.e. the ones that show up underneath the post title on the main forum page) you can put whatever you like.

When deciding whether a tag should count, the judges will consider how well it fits the descriptions below, how much effort went into depicting it, and how big a part it plays in your build.

• Military (Activates Spoil of war tech, Battlefield research tech with Building)
  

Build something military, like a battle scene, a fortified building or a vehicle with weapons.

• Civil (Activates Awesomnium foundry tech with Building)
  

Build something non-military to do with your corporation's civilisation, like a building or park.

• Building (Activates Engineer job, Battlefield research tech with Military, Awesomnium foundry tech with Civil)
  

Build a building. Interiors and spaceship interiors can also count as buildings as long as they have at least one wall. This activates the Engineer job.

• Vehicle (Activates Awesomnium alloy tech, Structural reinforcement tech)
  

Build any vehicle. If either or both of the two tags below apply, so does this one. However, you must include it to activate its tech bonuses, eg. tagging your build with just Submarine will not activate Awesomnium alloy tech.

• Spaceship or Airplane or Submarine (Activates Pilot job, Spaceship mastery tech)
  

Build a spaceship, airplane or submarine.

• Land Vehicle or Water vehicle (Activates Driver job, Ground tactics tech)
  

Build a vehicle that goes on the surface of land or water. Hovercraft/skimmers and underground tunneling vehicles also belong in this category.

• Spying (Activates Special Force job, Spying outfit equipment, Stealth mode equipment, Spying school tech)
  

Your build must show your character gathering information about another faction, hacking their computers, or sabotaging their equipment.

• Piracy (Activates Special Force job, Black Pearl equipment, Piracy tech)
  

Your build must show your character stealing objects or resources from another faction.

• Exploration (Activates Explorer job, Speaking violet backpack equipment, Naturalist's training tech)
  

Your build must show your character encountering flora, fauna or an alien first encounter.

• Science (Activates Scientist job)
  

Your build must show your character conducting experiments or research.

Due to our tech builds, tagging for your vehicles included will grant us some extra domination points.

Hosting: Mods don't like us using EB to host. A third-party website like Flickr is great for that. I also don't think the judges will appreciate being redirected to your blog to see the rest of the images.

Other than that, this is a fantastic base and I really like the track going down to the surface.

Very nice indeed, I feel like you should post maybe 2 or 3 interior pictures here as well unless you really don't want to for some reason.
