for all of those people who want to see what the Space station looks like next to the Sky King, here is a picture for you
this is 1/4 of the space station, just to let you know, as it is easier to work on the inside when it is cut up
 *******************************************************************************
Just letting you all Know that the Space Station is still under development!
and just to let you know, at the moment i am working on fixing some of the mistakes i made on the inside of it
pictures will be appear on this post soon of the progress!(they will also appear at the bottom of the post now and again)
 there will be an elevator as well as some spiral ramps leading up to the different levels
also i shall look at all the ideas posted on the old post, and talk to Fai about adding some of them, as some of them were great ideas!
EDIT: all the mistakes on the inside have been fixed, and inside work is now being worked on!
for easy work on the inside i have cut up the space station in to quarters
 there will be more pictures later

(In Reply to Item) Omg! Im dangerously excited, because if this is anywhere near as awesome as the sky king was, then this

(In Reply to Item) How be will it be thats the question? Also the bigger something is does it lower the FPS? Like if I were making a huge unity world would it make it really slow?

i don't think size matters to much on something made on SketchUp then imported in to unity, as long as it has a low poly count it will be fine lag wise

wait until you see the rest of it, and the inside as well as that picture is just 1/4 of it
but don't forget that Fai/Feir is also working on this with me

well i gave Fai 1/4 as you can copy and paste, so in turn you could say i gave him half of the Space Station, while i keep half(i.e 1/4 copied and pasted to face the right way so it makes a half) and time wise i only work on things like this for a few hours at a time, on any given day
and to see what i can make in just a few days time spending only a few hours(2-3) per each day go to this link
also feel free to use any of the other models i put up there, as one of them is an outside to a spaceship, and nothing is in it

(In Reply to Item) if you want to see anything in the space Station, just write it down on this post, and it may get put in! providing that it is a good idea, and not to hard to make

(In Reply to Item) Perhaps you should make a computer lab (with Macs!) in your space station. Just an idea.

(In Reply to Item) ok this is a picture of part of the power room in the space station
 that blue window is half of the entrance for any of the many space vehicles
and to help you out Fai the thickness of the roof above this room(which is also the second level) is 0.41 meters, and from the base of the roof to the ground is 0.227 meters
the landing that leads to the blue window is raised above the second level, just to clear that up

(In Reply to Item) still open for ideas for the inside if you have any, as long as it is reasonable enough(i.e not to complicated to make)
but please don't be stupid and ask for a weapons room, cause i won't make it

On that thought, I might make a tech room, with experiment parts and decals mounted on the walls and stuff.

(In Reply to Item) That gave me an idea. What about a lab? Space propel need to conduct all types of experiments, from tech to chem and even bio.
This would be hard (sorry seb) but worth it. Like a mini island with vegetation, trees and some water in a perfect circle around (so as to feed the vegetation, but still look lke it was arranged by man). It would be what supplies the station with Oxygen. Hard, but epic. Unless you imported from unity island, but I don't know how legal that is. ~Matt

yea that would be hard if i was to make all the trees and what not, but otherwise that is a good idea, and easy to do as you could just stick some trees in it when the space station is in unity

(In Reply to Item) Here's an idea: You know how the sky king has ventilation systems on each of its floors? Well, maybe the Sky Station (that's what the hip people will call it now) can have ventilation shafts running all over the station, so that we could drive through them get to other floors quickly and other cool stuff like that?

(In Reply to Item) This is how I pictured it.
Cube room, large circumfranced 3 decimeter high cylinder, about double that length inward another wall, creating a circular trench filled with water. Inside then but staring at the top of the inner wall is land, but clearly land made, with vegetation. I hope I was descriptive enough. If not, I suppose it's not my project anyway, unless you wanted me to make a basic render of what I meant. At any rate, it feels good to be considered. ~Matt

(In Reply to Item) It seems a bit small, just from what I have seen.
I pictured a space station being AT LEAST the size of the sky king, realy closer to 1.5 - 2 times the size
The current shape does not support multiple rooms, other than in the center.
It is great looking, and please keep it that way, but I suggest multiple rooms anywhere possible, even in those circular areas.

(In Reply to Item) Could you make some sort of giant chamber w/ different blocks just floating inside it and rooms around it to hide in? I'm asking this because despite the amazing craft you put into these worlds there isn't much space for real, normal dogfighting. Anyway, if you have space I think this room would be relatively easy, almost like a block world.
Thanks,
-PR
EDIT: I just got the sketchup model. Could you maybe make two versions, one complicated one and one just the empty frame?
Also, a bunch of hidden tunnels inside the framework would be cool.
