By "lower saucer" I mean the lower half of the uppermost saucer. The lowest disk is the mining facility.

Fascinating... Now if someone would model the 'base seen at UP, we'd be set

Oops! I see the name may confuse people. :]

The designation "Utopia" is not meant to suggest this is in Martian orbit.

55 years to construct?! Oo-er...

And why would a Fed starbase even need a mining facility?
By "mining", do you mean a ginormous Bussard collector?

Like the design, BTW.

How about dilithium mining. Or those rare materials that are hard to replicate.

Why wouldn't a starbase need a mining facility? Materials for repairs, hydrogen slush for antimatter (from any planets below, the oceans.. or perhaps a nebula?), raw materials for future construction...

Once I get enough self motivation up, I'm going to figure out inverse kinematics and build me my extendable drydocks onto the station...I just get too caught up with spacewarps and mesh bombs.. >;]

I'm working on the one from Relativity, but the textures are looking aweful right now.
