Okay, do NOT comment on my age, i did not start today, i actually started over a year ago, and then i have been coming back and dying every so often since then. I DO have the technology to build this design, and it will be modified soon(after i finally decide to say it runs on plasma generators)

Viper class Starbase
Okay, after several years of development, the Andmerican Navy is proud to announce its newest addition to the Andmerican Fleet, the Viper. It is a recently unveiled starbase, designed for optimum usage in many ways. The station is a huge multi-use structure, used by our fleet for housing of both personnel and spacecraft. It is also very well armed, with 47 Heavy plasma cannons, 100 light plasma beams, 74 Point defense plasma guns, and 1 Heavy particle Cannon, based at the center, which fires off a single energy shot that is extremely long range and powerful. The Viper is also capable of housing hundreds of fighters and even allows docking of capital ships along its outer borders. The Viper also has its own engine for positioning its particle cannon and movement, and it also equipped with a class D-9 hyperdrive, which allows it movement to other systems if it be necessary.
Here are the Viper’s specifications:
75 miles in diameter
50 miles in height (most of this is nothing but the prongs used to guide the particle cannon’s beam)
Capable of housing:
100,000 personnel, including all technicians and starbase commanders
7,500 fighters
Up to 300 Capital ships may dock with the outer edge of the ring

The Starbase is also protected by:
1 Class A Plasma shield
3 Class D Ion shields
5 meters of Titalium Armor

Inside the Starbase in the Particle Cannon charging chamber, is a device that, when exploded, will damage an amount of the firing mechanisms, causing the weapons to overheat and begin to grow in energy rapidly, eventually causing the beam to explode, completely destroying the base as a failsafe to protect it.

There are currently 3 of these bases in orbit around Andrixa, and several more are under construction, meaning that in a short time, there may be a number of these bases to sell
This is a less detailed picture of the Viper Starbase, as the original design, this is the Concept of what these bases would have looked like before construction began.

i need some responses people!

Um...Okay. Good for you.

i meant usefull comments

my topic ---> :) :mp5: <--- you guys

You do realize your attitude to the lack of responces isn't going to help me like you.

Anyway, that's a BFG platform.

i don't bother to mention its mass, which, i am sort of sorry about this, is much less than its volume
almost all its height is space
and it is a rather thing ring of habitable area
my town is only maybe 12 miles by 12 miles and it has almost as many people. But it does serve as a defense platform and a staging area. and i don't have much else to spend the hundreds of trillions i hadn't spended when i died

Dude, I have two twenty-mile-long Battleships, and before extensive refits, the first one had a crew of nearly a million. I think, therefore, that the crew number is a bit small...

And, to note, we've gotten the crew on both ships down to about 550,000, most of which are Marines.

as i said, it is only a small station expanded over miles, but i guess that doesn't mean much considering its firepower..

wow! i didn't know we kept stuff from last time we died. I remember that every time you get revived you go back to 425 million, but i guess not this time. Too bad this wasn't from before, i could have well over 2 billion by now

Okay, we are almost finished with some sellable stations, they will be sold for 250 billion each (tell me if its a little cheap, i'm going to make a more robust one with more armor and size soon)
