Helios - MSB (Module Space Base) vanilla version

(BA CPU Tier 4, Class 11, Unlock Level 20)

Primary roles: Large space base, Module support, Shield, The Helios - Module Space Base is a very large base designed to work with multiple add in CV modules for various purposes. The overall design of this is meant to be a space station to store your mobile CV modules.

Module Support

The station has 6 standard module bays and 1 drop ship module bay.

Modules are decent sized CV's that dock in the module bays. For instance, a module could be for production, farming, storage, mining, you name it. With this in mind, the base can be custom fit overtime for the functions a player wants. Many different modules by many authors will be available on the workshop soon. If you want to make and publish your own modules, use others as examples as they have to have certain specs to fit in the bays, link to the interior, and dock using 1st person LCD guides. The drop ship module bay works similar to the other module bays just offset to one side or the other.

Docking Modules

In every module bay, you will see some guide LCD's pointing to a very specific point. To dock a module, (best if done in 1st person), you first would pull up to a bay and level your self off, then in first person use the cross hair to line up to the LCD indicators and fly into the bay to the front wall. I would also recommend pulling up to the ceiling once reaching the wall. Let off the thrust and the module should be docked. It will now be accessible from the base on the interior. Do to an annoyance of the inner bay doors opening and closing, they on switches next to the bay doors so they can stay open all the time when a module is docked. Also, each docking bay has 2 LCD saying bay information. The one with a small white decal allows you to set the name on the LCD of the ship docked. The other LCD is for graphics only.

Combat features

The base is made of hardened steel, has a T2 shield, and 320K ammo storage. I haven't added weapons to keep cost down so best to deploy in a friendly system.

Stock survival Features

The base comes with a small crafting area including 2 advanced constructor, 2 deconstuctors, 1 furnace, 1 320K storage, 1 295k storage in the lower hanger. there is plenty of spare space for further expansion in all 3 areas.

medical bay, engineering, crew area,

I hope you enjoy!
