Primary roles: Survival Base, Farm, Crafting, Fleet Port, Solar, Unlocks at player level 12

11/20/18 - I just wanted to through this out there. Please upvote any authors work you like. This is important! The reason for this message is to try to combat negative ratings that are plaging so many great creations on the workshop. It is the norm for many authors including myself to get hammered with negative ratings as soon as we release anything at all. We have no power to combat this and it is very discouraging and kills moral and ambition to create new free creations for the communtiy. This could be countered if more people would take the time to upvote creations they subbed or like. As it is, most people that don't dig deep into the workshop are not seeing many awesome creations that just die after release due to negative ratings. Thank you.

The Helix Orbital is a deluxe player space base with a ton of room and features. It was designed around the idea of a post modern space station in appearance trying to make it seem semi plausible. It has 5 decks with 1 central elevator for quick navigation thru out the station with a central connecting hub. It comes complete with all quality of life features up to player level 12.

Primary Features:

Space Dock
It has 2 hangar/landing pad modules, A and B. Module B features a deluxe hangar side crafting area as well as a repair bay and switch to shut down the crafting area to save on power (Except for the 2 fridges) It features a T1 repair bay due to size class restrictions however upgrading to a T2 is quick and easy. The hangar area uses force fields rather than standard hangar doors. I thought I would try some different and it makes for some great views into space.

Solar
It runs the maxium amount of large solar panels allowed with standard game rules. When placing this station, be sure to align the solar array directly at a star for maxium solar power input. (Important to save on fuel)

Farm
It features 108 grow plot farm divided in 4 sections each with it's own grow light switch. Leave off when not in use to save power. This area has extra room in places to add more frides/food processors. It also leads to landing pads A and B.

Offensive/Defense
The station is built with hardened steel and has 11 marked turret mount positions as well as two interior hangar sentry guns. The turrets are not included to save on costs. When fully equipped it will provide decent 360 protection.

Crew Quarters
Decks 1 and 2 are a place for the crew or visitors. It featues a small lounge, beds, bathrooms, atm.

Engineering area
The bottom of the station features a vertical engineering area housing such things as offline protection and generators. A lot of space along the walls can be used to add much more fuel/o2, etc.

Central Hub/Med Bay
The center of the station is an open area connecting all modules. By default it only has a med bay installed and a ceiling mount area to store lots of fuel and o2. This area is tall enough to add some forges or anything else you can think of.

Features Summary:

1. Class 5 BA, Player unlock level 12
2. 108 grow plot farm
3. Hardened Steel constuction with 11 turret mount points(Turrets not included)
4. Airtight O2 and oxygen
5. Two large hangars, one with crafting and repair bay
6. Deluxe crafting area with 4 advanced constructors+all other survival features
7. Med bay, Repair Bay, Crew quarters
8. 15 Large solar panels (Max)
9. Sensor based lighting thru out
10. Extra room in interior.

Notes:

This base must be placed in space and will collapse on ground. When placing in space be sure to align solar array to directly point at the sun for best solar potential.

In the hangar side crafting area, of floor storage boxes are removed it should allow easy placement of SV special storage creations. There is a floor below the storage boxes.

The central hub is only around 1/2 full of o2 and oxygen storage. This was done to save costs as well as keeping it a size class 5. Feel free to add more along the ceiling.


I hope you enjoy!
