Platform 8820 (Modified Exp. Find) W.I.P.

Not my creation/design. Found during exploration.

This base is called the "Vangelis Frigate Base". This is a modified version of this space station that can be found in your world during "Exploration Mode".

This is a "Work In Progress" so check back for updates...

Space Station found during "Exploration" Mode. Boasts the rather default name of "Platform 8820" (this might be named differently for different players, not sure). It spawned a good 325km along the -Z axis.

As with all stations-built-into-asteroids, blueprinting a copy does not capture the asteroid part of the station. It appears to use the stock "Taurus" asteroid (the one that is large, flat and discus with a large hole in the center). The asteroid contains a good supply of Uranium ore as well as representative amounts of ALL the other types of ore making this a nice "mining station" with hangars ready for your rill and cargo craft.

Very basic in design, however, it does feature the clever "Doors-On-Their-Sides-As Cool-Windows" technique.

Has two nicely-lit, horizontally-parallel landing pads adequate for most small ships wishing to land. It has a vertical wall with the number "04" on it that could also be used to land a ship. It also has a large base that extends through the entire asteroid (through tunnels) with a large area to land where the asteroid has a large hole. It has a nice station bridge and habitat area with some internal stairs, but no stairs connecting the landing area and the bridge. There is a tunnel network, but I have yet to explore it to see if there are any "interior areas" with station flooring.

Has:
-2 Small Reactors, no uranium (so B.Y.O.U. lol) - the asteroid does have ALL ore types
-3 Flight/Control Seats
-4 Antennas, 1 Beacon
-Lots of Doors-as-Windows and Interior Lights
-100% Light Armor Construction

Thoughts:
-Makes me wonder if these might be KSWH built "stock stations" and their might be a "01", "02" & "03" version, etc. (DEBUNKED)
-Great as a starter asteroid station base (original here: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=235465657 )

Things That HAVE been done to my modified version (or will have done by the time you read this):
-DONE: Make this station an outpost base since it is a good 325k away from the world's origin (it was randomly spawned, ofc)
-DONE: Keybound all the windows to open/close so as to create "blast windows"
-DONE: Created keybindings for "All Lights", "All Reactors" and "Gravity"
-DONE: Renamed the Antenn "Platform 8820 (EF)" ("EF" for "Exploration Find") and bosted range to 50km
-DONE: Depowered the 3 extra cosmetic Antenna and Beacon
-DONE: Copied in some of the small-ship "exploration finds" and landed them appropriately on the landing pads
-DONE: Added catwalks to interconnect the main platform, raised landing pad and the bridge

Both of these provide temporary solar power to the station:
-DONE: Docked my AES (Armored Explorer Scout/Ship) - http://steamproxy.net/workshop/browse/?appid=244850&requiredtags%5B%5D=blueprint
-DONE: Docked my ERP-LP (Exploration Relay Probe - Launch Pad) - http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=381807622&searchtext=erp

To Do:
-Add auto-alligning-solar-array and de-power the reactors making the station self-sustaining
-Swap out heavy armor for light armor where thruster damage is likely to ocur (i.e. landing pads)
-Add a refinery, assmbler, converyor system, et. al.
-Keybind/Separate-out the landing lights for each landing pad
