Trade Station Gamma

The labor shortage at the workshop has gotten worse so this week there is another set of plans for you to build.  These plans are for a modest size space station to support interplanetary trade. The design is named Trade Station Gamma.  It functions as a small cargo port where ships can dock and resupply or transfer cargo.


With two main airlocks for ships to dock at this station is best suited for moderately traveled trade routes. There is a larger trade station design in the works that includes four main airlocks, two high security docking bays, and four auxiliary docking ports. The larger plan would be more suitable for heavy traffic trade routes near HOM.

Despite it's modest size, the station is fully equipped with facilities.  These include a control room, oxygen garden, and medical bay.  There is a long rang communication antenna as well as a cargo hold for temporary storing cargo awaiting transfer to another ship.

Safety features include an asteroid and meteorite detection system mounted on the upper left support wing.  An Orion III escape pod is also docked at the lower right support wing of the station.

Be sure to comment or tweet if you build this station or modify the design.  Looking forward to seeing your builds!
