I feel that the Helios concept and philosophy of deep space exploration while taking as much as possible with you may streamline the game making it more fun and less frustrating. Have you ever filled up your ships cargo only to realize that your base is 1500 light years away? Have you ever been in the wrong sector in your heavily laden Mining vessel surrounded by Decimaters or Dreadnoughts then wish that your Heavy CV Fighter wasn’t 1000 light years away?

I had been planning on building a modular Space Station based on CVs for a while now. However, I knew that there would need to be some sort of module standard to be created in order for this style of base to be truly successful. When J Randall created the Helios sled, I knew that with his numerous followers that a possible module standard would be possible.

When I saw the modules being created on the workshop I became motivated to finally create this new type of modular base. Even if you don’t use the Helios sled system for extended deep space exploration, a very high productive modular Space Station could be created to serve your needs.

You can upgrade to Tier 4 to add up to 8 Advanced Constructors along the ceiling and 4 more Furnaces along the outside and just about anything else you want with all that extra CPU. If you do upgrade(I have) you will run out of fuel, if left unattended, when you leave everything on(I did). Plan ahead and park this right in front of a sun.

Thanks to J Randall and Xcaliber for the collaborative effort that led to this design inspiration, Allessia for design and motivation, and Garaman for design and motivation and for which this color palate is based on.

Due to the new “Chaining physics” in Experimental 1.4+ fuel and generators have been placed outside and separated for redundancy.
