[X3TC 2.5] A true "Proud Moment"
Posted: Mon, 22. Nov 10, 16:21
Hello all, I just completed my largest complex to date.
It started as a 600 station complex in Tkr's Depravation to complete the hub resource requirements and morphed into a 1,500 station monstrosity!
The Fleet used was comprised at the highest point by 59 Mammoth's used as station transports and 18 Orca's used as CCK haulers.

(sorry, but I forgot to turn off the HUD....and I'm not going back there)

The asteroids are arrange like this in a vertical wall with 5km spacing
Something like the above "Diagram".
When I uninstalled the Tubeless mod the game wouldn't load so I gave up and took the shoots I could.
I'm not *quite* sure of the exact station numbers due to one of my Mammoths being lost whilst carrying unknown stations....I replaced the unknowns with Chip plants. By the time I was nearing completion, my FPS were flatlined at 2.
(This is NOT a closed loop due to lack of Ore/Silicon IS. I'm planning on supplying it via complex's in Barren Shores, Mines of Fortune and perhaps Weavers Tempest and Ocracoke's Storm. meanwhile mobile mining in Family Tkr is helping offset the deficit.)
The Station list is as follows:
Food:
Boron Bio Gas Factory X116
Boron BoFu Refinery L X115
Argon Cahoona Bakery L X34
Argon Cattle Ranch L X34
Split Chelt Space Aquarium L X88
Split Rastar Refinery L X87
Paranid Snail Ranch L X22
Paranid Space Jewelry L X21
Tech:
Split Adv. Sat Factory X50
Split Sat Factory X50
Split Computer Plant X15
Split Quantum Tube Fab X15
Boron Chip Plant X111
Boron Crystal Fab L X90
Energy:
Boron Solar Power Plant XL X40
Shields:
Argon 1MJ Shield Prod. Facility X125
Split 25MJ Shield Prod. Facility X100
Mineral
Boron Ore Mine L X61
Split Silicon Mine L X26
Random wares to sell for Profit:
Split Disintegrator Rifles Fab X100
Split Lasertower Factory X100
Split Low-yield Sidearms Fab X100
They were placed using the Station Stacking technique. (couldnt find a link to the thread were I read about it)
This was all done in "Semi-Vanilla" because I use both
Lower Poly Asteroids and TCM Tubeless_Complex_Mod. (Many thanks to the Script writers of these btw)
Edit: Edited out a couple of edits and added more screenshots and changed most of the freakin post.
