Regent Report #10 - Custom Space Stations Release

Custom Space Stations - Worlds of Possibilities

I’m pleased to announce the release of Custom Space Stations. These space stations will be available for Clans to purchase effective immediately. This is a great way to build out your fictional Star Systems and spend some of that GJW money!

Why custom stations?

Throughout the Star Wars universe, we see a broad array of Space Stations. Some of these space stations are prefabricated templates, many of which were already available for purchase. However, the overwhelming majority of these stations are unique one instance locations.

Space Stations can be a great setting for Clans to make use of in their collective story telling. This project was designed with the intention to create a system wherein the Clans can create a totally unique space station that is all their own.

This system has also been designed to keep costs down. Only the weapons and upgrades are substantial sums of credits. We wanted to be able to give you new locations for cheap. The rationale here is exactly the same as Planetary bases.

How do they work?

Each station is built from a Core. There are 3 cores available for purchase; Small, Medium, and Large. Prices of Cores are quite low, mirroring the Planetary Bases framework. The small core has size 2 module slots, Medium size 4 module slots, and Large has 6 module slots. Cores also have a set number of Upgrade slots.

Modules are where the customization begins. There are 18 modules included in the initial release. Each of these modules has a different theme or purpose. For example, the Commerce module is designed specifically for trade, whereas the Military module is designed specifically for use as a military outpost. Some modules are a larger size than others and use more slots. For example, the Large Shipyard is Size 4, whereas the Habitation Module is only size 1.

Each module has a set number of upgrades which can be equipped. Upgrades from the new Space Station Upgrade type or the existing Capital Ship Upgrades type can be fitted to Stations. Just like with other upgrades, it is up to you to decide how you customize your station. Use common sense when purchasing your upgrades. For example, quipping a Hyperdrive to a stationary station doesn’t make much sense. Rather than repeat upgrades and clog up the system, re-using Capital Ship Upgrades (particularly for weaponry) made alot of sense and added more customizability options.

There are 25 brand new Station Upgrades available in this release. These are specific to Stations.

That’s the nuts and bolts. Pretty easy! All Cores, Modules and Space Station Upgrades are available in Antares Construction Group and all Capital Ship Upgrades are in Arx Fleet Systems.

The best part about this system is that it’s easily expandable, so if you have suggestions for modules or upgrades, be sure to use the Suggestion box! At present, with all available options there are nearly 50 million possible unique combinations for Space Stations! That’s alot of choices! Get out there and design yours today!

Some Example Stations

Here is an Example of a Small Station. This station has been designed as a small mining outpost. Mining is a tough job, so this station lacks creature comforts.

This is a bigger, Medium Station. Designed as a Iron Throne Blacksite, surely the prisoners of this facility aren’t the subjects of all kinds of strange and inhumane “scientific” tests…

Finally, this is an example of a Large Station. Due to legal reasons, the Regent’s Legal Team was particular about what this station was named.
