I agree with you. As a base architect, its hardest to come up with original ideas and make them your own none the less.|

On a side note, the base committee has taken up much of my time, so Stacker has been kind enough to make some modifications to the space station. I will post his progress shortly.
@Turbo_Starr
My current 3 week project is the hazard zone TP room with a green house.
Here are some sneak peaks.
@Turbo_Starr
That green room looks amazing!!! I cant wait to see it when it's done.
I am working with @Sayaki on some more updates of this base. I am shooting for more screens come this weekend.
@Turbo_Starr
I will have to come take a look at that sometime. We are currently finishing up the space base, a few rooms are at 90-95% complete... the other will prob be blocked off for safety reasons. Dont have enough hard hats for the under construction tour just yet.

In responce to a few PMs, I will be holding a base tour of the Space Station this Sunday at 12:30EST. Please respond with your global name and I will be sure to contact you.
A few rooms will be updated within coming months, so if you cant make this one, I will be holding another soon.

Does this mean I need to clean my room? lol

Oh WOW! It looks more like something out of DC. Is it just me, or does this not look insane? And that observation room...never saw anything like it.

It's sad that so many of the pictures posted in this thread are no longer available... I still want to try and do this... but I haven't done any base building for a long while. What items are available that you can attach the small wall lamps to besides walls?

Try the Cubicles, found in the "Other Furniture" tab, I believe. Works perfectly for that.

Yep cubicles, much like floor safes, floor lamps, and the floor tile section are your "base builder" tools for all your stacking/floating needs.

Its been a while since i last visited here, but back to finishing this base. Been working on a new TP room with the updates to stacking in the last patch. Also I know a lot of pictures were lost, so I will be posting newer ones that are up to date.
@Turbo_Starr
Its a work in progress, but here is what I have done so far. I added in 3 TP units holding beacons to 6 zones. All of which are stacked in the back corner of the room. I have yet to add the star field and space so you have to use your imagination 
As of now, its 800 units place, I am trying to keep it under 1k or aorund there.
@Turbo_Starr
Very sleek walkway, nice design!

Happiness is a blast.
So, there will eventually be another base orbiting Earth, but I have a few questions as I begin looking at ways to design the Sentinels of Freedom Lighthouse.
Namely it's the star fields I keep seeing. By the looks of it, they're designed by a combination of black wall banners, glass SG logo stands, and wall lights.
1. Assuming I'm not missing a detail, are the Glass panels used the small, thinner ones?
2. What size lights seem to work best? Large or small?
3. Lastly, when using the lights, given the placement of items n the wall, do you tend to let the lights clip through the banners? Or set them forward a bit more to stand out?
I will be practicing, of course, to see if I can make a good star field. But I thought I'd grab a few pointers if possible.
The more you know.....

1. When I've done it, I use the large glass for the windows, since they can overlap without clipping so long as you rotate every other one 180 degrees.
2. The large lights might be useful for a moon or something, but I haven't played with that option. For some illusion of closer/farther stars, try using a mix of the regular Wall Lights and the Wall Light (Off) variety.
3. Setting the 'stars' directly on the black banners works fine. All you lose is some of the lights' backing which you don't need. Pulling them forward allows them to 'move' more as you walk by, but that actually hurts your illusion in this case, since stars are so incredibly distant that they appear stationary.

Looks great!
Will post my progress tonight, I redid a lot of it. My math was off a little.
@Turbo_Starr
Since a short hiatus I am back in the base and finished this room last night. I decided that it wasnt space-tech enough so I scrapped it and redid much of the room. Added a unique design using some basic units to create inside walls and revamped the floor after looking at countless pictures of the JLA tower. What do you guys think?
TP Chamber
And now I am working on the Main Lobby. Inspiration here is again the JLA tower with a space-like elevator. More pictures to come.
@Turbo_Starr
Very nice sir. Your lighting effects are top notch. I think I need to get my butt out of the "private planet" beta (hint hint) and into the base. I think I am gonna have to revamp the generator room..... Ugh

Sure, used a basic white desk and stacked them with florescent large lights to border. Then added an SG logo tile in the middle colored all yellow.|
