I may be reading your passage wrong, Bernd, but in your annotations for the Regula type, you say that the station had been used as Starbase 375 before "Blaze of Glory." In actuallity, it hadn't, because "Blaze of Glory" comes before "A Time to Stand," when we first saw Starbase 375. Other than that, it looks great.

Seems like you are still traumatized by "Unexpected". The K-7 station is labeled "D-7 Type"
"Starship Spotter" gives a diameter of 4600 and a height of 6900-6950 (depends on commtower) meters for Spacedock. It also gives 293.3 meters by 250.6 by 20 meters for MIDAS. And MIDAS stands for Mutara Inter-dimensional Deep-space-transponder Array (wow!).

Its also supposed to be in the Mutara Sector...what is it with the last few Voyager seasons and the word Mutara? Given that this is the second prorotype/research type installation know to been in this sector, it is possible that Mutara is still restricted sector (takes permits many...)
Also there has been a name given to at least one type 3 Drydock, Earth Station Mckinley...Also an Earth station Bobruisk was mentioned but it wasn't seen so it wasn't necessarily a drydock at all.
There have also been a number of unseen stations mentioned...Deep Space 3 & 4, Starbase Earhart (although this could have been a surface installation), Xendi Starbase 9 (the Stargazer was towed here so it had to have some orbital facilities), station Nigala IV and Station Salem One (possibly destroyed). There may be more, but I don't remember.

Was it really not before season 6 that we saw the starbase?

Oops. Thanks, Harry Freu(n)d.

I mentioned McKinley only in the annotations because I think the station probably consists of more than this drydock. I assume that Bobruisk is on Earth's surface (at least the city Bobruisk is).

I've got a couple of missing stations here for you to add, Bernd:
- Calder II Science Station ("Gambit") - IIRC this is a Regula-type station
- Lantaru Sector Research Station ("The Omega Directive") - the display console briefly showed an image of the destroyed research station, and it was a Regula-type design

I don't understand why you're assigning different sections to the Orbital Office Complex, the Regula One station, and Starbase 375 types. They're all just modifications af a universal, modular design.

You make mention of "Episolon IX." Oops.
Also, since you mention other comm arrays, don't forget the Gamma Quadarnt comm hub on the other side of the wormhole (deployed 2371, destroyed end of 2373) since it's a rescaled use of the Amargosa model.

There is a size comparison sketch with the Ent-D in TNG Sketchbook. Also, we know the station has some weapons turrets underneath or on top (don't remember), as suggested by Eaves in the book.
ARGUS ARRAY
It's powered by eighteen fusion reactors, each reactor serving a single subspace antenna cluster. They're controlled by a single computer. This is from the dialogue in the script of "The Nth Degree". A plot point in the episode was that Barclay was able to simulatenously repair all eighteen by interfacing with the damaged Argus computer.
K-7
There were thirty decks to be searched according to the dialogue in "Trials and Tribble-ations", which is consistent with the overall height.
SPACEDOCK TYPE
Its dimensions are given as 15250' (4648m, height) and 12500' (3810m, width) in the Star Trek III ILM scale charts. Maybe you could mention this in an annotation.

Oh dear Bernd, that isn't like you. You've used an inacurate diagram, the type 3 dock only had four arms on the sauser section end and the habitat dome didn't have those two connecting pieces going aft. As for it being apart of a larger station, I think that given its size it easily qualifies as an independant station in its own right. Plus I'm sure that it was never indicated that there was more to Mckinley than what we saw.
MONKEY There is no way that those later starbases are anywhere near as small as the original obital office.
As a side note it may be interesting to include the station depicted on the painting in Picards quarters, if memory serves, it bears a striking resemblance to the partical fountain and the Qualor II station.

I guess it depends upon how you define "completed". The way they keep cutting back, it may turn out that the way it is right now is going to be its final form...

I believe the model in the credits includes modules that have already been canceled or indefinitely postponed. So it doesn't resemble what the real one will look like, in all likelyhood.
