Atlas-class Federation Outpost - Alpha Pictures #1Lots of behind-the-scenes work on Block Trek has been occurring, with tons of eventing being done on the Lionheart. The turbolift and power systems are complete for the most part, but need more work to be completed. However, they are functional.
Since things are getting closer to the time for the RP, I am starting preliminary work on some of the builds that will be used as visitable locations on Block Trek. One such location is the Federation outposts, located on the edge of the RP's future star-map. All i've made so far for Block Trek has been ships, so it feels good to finally be working on a space station for once. I whipped up a freehand design tonight, and I must say I am sufficiently pleased with the resulting frame so far. It's not much at the moment, but I thought it would help in showing that I am in fact working on things. Check it out:
The Atlas-class outpost station is actually somewhat small next to the Kane class Heavy Cruiser, and its saucer is only 280 studs in diameter (the Kane's is 256).
Also if you're wondering why its design looks somewhat boxy from the side, that's because TOS era space constructions, both stations and ships, utilize simple geometrical designs, with minimal greebling. It's a very smooth, crisp look. I'm assuming the in-universe explanation is that the TOS era saw huge advancements in structural integrity field generation technology, as well as huge advancements in metallurgy for starship construction and mass-production of ship hull parts. This would sufficiently explain why Starfleet explodes in size so much between TOS and TNG.
A low-angle view. The station has 20 levels; about half will be visitable in the RP. The rest will just be empty space (I don't want to waste my time building a complete station interior).
As always, thank you for following the development of
