[Idea] List of Civilian Starbases/ space stations

Kai

Retired Staff
We don't have a list of Civilian Starbases or Space Stations, which can be horribly restricting in certain conditions for Independent GM's, whom don't have access to Military bases. If we made a list, we would be able to have a hub for GM's to share common stations, as well as list stations that are available.

Does anyone else find this a good idea?
 
I've moved this to the GM Nook, as it does not pertain to a new piece of tech and requires the attention of people with at least GM and FM-level responsibilities on the site.

Edit: By this, I meant that GMs and FMs should see this, not that the players don't need to see it.
 
I mean, lists of actual named stations, their locations, and their approximate population, perhaps even a page or two about the station, etc.
 
I can contribute a short list of random uses for small space stations. These can be merged together.

Residential
  • Tiny Space Colony (less than 500 people)
  • Small Space Colony (500 to 1000 people)
  • Medium Space Colony (1000 - 2500 people)
  • Large Space Colony (2500 - 5000 people)
  • Huge Space Colony (5000 - 7500 people)
  • Gargantuan Space Colony (7500 - 10000 people)
  • Colossal Space Colony (more than 10000 people)

Commercial
  • Amusement Park
  • Boxing Ring/Gym
  • Long-Distance Communication Services
  • Stripclub/Adult Entertainment
  • Refuelling Stop/Rest Station
  • Nightclub/Pub/Bar
  • Trader Hub (General supplies)
  • Trader Hub (Small arms and ammo)
  • Trader Hub (Power Armour)
  • Trader Hub (Black market)

Industrial
  • Corporation Production Facilities
  • Corporation Testing Facilities
  • Corporation Storage
  • Corporation Office Blocks
  • Corporation Defence Post
 
Well the SSS Kisaki starbases are being constructed. I created this page to keep track of their status and locations. So if a list is going to be made it could point to this page for these stations. While primarily built for the SSS, several of them will have civilian vessels coming and going. Especially for the stores and businesses in the Kibarashi (Mall) of the station. Some of the stations would be available for civilian ships to stop at.

I really like that layout you have there, Nashoba. Would you mind if I borrowed it and modified it to make this list?
 
When I've got the list of stations in the Bard Expanse settled (ie done wiki-ing), I'll post them here. That reminds me I'm working together with someone on a new station class that can be upgraded, so a small-medium station that will become available for purchase for civilian concerns.
