Nah, I'm a modular junkie myself. They can be bigger modules, but
still modules. I like spindly things sticking off of a central hub,
or central hubs. My sketches (I haven't had the time/energy to LDraw
or build them) are just that. Like, the docking bay is large and
pass-through for capital ships and its a module, there's habitation
modules (larger, several decks), command module, smaller (garage
style) docking bays - which are usually for defense fighters, etc.
I see what you're saying as far as sleekness goes, but a station can
look sleek, spacey, and attractive and still contain various modules.

| (...) My space stations are either built like cities, like a big solid battlestation [kinda like the Death Star, but without that kind of mass [duh]], or in platforms, like the top section of an oil rig. But, I usually just do battlecarriers instead (...) (25 years ago, 8-Jan-00, to lugnet.space)
