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 of space stations [sorry about the fancy name, my Quasar
series ships only hold 6 or less really small fighters [12 studs L, 8 W, 6 or 7
T; pathetic]] At least everything I build is always minifig scale, so it's
still good anyway.
Try the platforms, perhaps. The spaces between them make nice fighter bays,
ship bays, etc., with room to spare. Just an idea
