I voted Vertiseas Seralman, cuz the other ones are just "lets slab everything together" monsters.
Dont think its fair tbh, all seam to have some thought behind it I find, none of the submitted designs had the feeling of "stuff slapped together" imho and all would have been "valid" options to get to the finals, but alas we had to choose 5. ;-)

MFG

Thanks for saying that Ketraar.
I relise my two entries didn't make the final cut.
Not showing the extent of the new abilities probably didn't help

Well done to the fellow entrants and of course the finalists.

I voted -=SiR KiLLaLoT=-,
Simply because he was the only one who actually built a station.

For a moment I found myself in the body of Neo, in an immense and incomprehensible city of cars.

We are now ready, the 5 finalists have been chosen. But first I would like to thank all for partecipating. There are a lot of very good designs, which made it difficult to choose 5. It's great to see how creative the X community continues to be and what you can create with the station editor.

But now to the 5 finalists, which are (in alphabetical order)
  • errorname1002
  • GCU Grey Area
  • Repli
  • -=SiR KiLLaLoT=-
  • Vertiseas Seralman
You can watch the designs in the following video and below that the link to the poll which will end in a week.

Good luck to the finalists and thanks again to everyone for taking part.

Nope, not the only one. Here's a screenshot of mine under construction, from about 3 months ago:

Next time I know, build Terran and build mega,,,

How many of these stations are actually fully functional, and work as an actual station I would want in my game, that produces something?

The shipyard looks fully functional, and the first one looks functional, though is it overbuilt? I'm certain the one with the 10 hab sandwiches is overbuilt.... the last one is hard to tell since a good chunk is clipped.


Congrats to the finalists, and good luck!

Not among the finalists, but my stations are fully functional and produce ease of mind for Argon and Teladi and plenty, plenty of scrap metal. Basically, they take Xenon as primary resource and convert them into raw peace. :)

Anyway, can't see any particular point about stations not being functional, the contest clearly called for a focus on aesthetics, right in the first post.

If you're referring to mine, it was built to be functional. Everything on it is there for a purpose. Specifically to manufacture & deliver vast quantities of resources in the brief gaps between eruptions which occur during some of the harder terraforming missions:

The habitation modules are certainly not overbuilt - only has space for about 60% of it's optimal workforce (almost 200k).

Functionality isn't a big thing this time:
While Profitsss are important, we have bribed the Teladi to look the other way, and allow stations to be built with aesthetics as the primary focus.
Mine is functional, too, because I didn't want to do all that "work" and not have something I could use. That's not the point of this contest, though. This time it's all about the shiny!

Congratulations to ALL the finalists, they are all really good designs and I only *wish* I had the design chops the finalists demonstrated.

There's something here for everyone, and I just want to thank you all for sharing your designs, whether they became finalists or not. Lots of solid designs here and they have at least sparked new ways for me and others to setup stations.

Thanks, everyone, and good job!!

I enjoyed going through the captains list.

Maybe still a heavy Terran focus.
The individual likes what they like. (And motivation to inspire Real Terrans I can accept)

Might have liked to see a few of the alternative entries (If any) of the finalists, if your filling out the list.
I didn't go through all entrants/entries myself.

Liked that he remembered the German List and included a few non Terran builds.

Again well done to everyone

That could be because the entries were leaning heavily toward the Terrans. Or it could be because every single one of the judges is, in fact, an earthling... but I'm sure that's just a coincidence. ;)
