Aquatic Research Station 7.0

A Class 3 base I use as my personal house friend asked me to post it figured I'd make it public while I was at it. Pretty much a solid personal house for planets with lots of water or a small guilds HQ. This is a permanent base design meant to be accessable early on with no advanced metals required But have the ability to upgrade easily to advanced facilities.

Photos are from omicron and Akua - this is why water color changes wanted to show off the effects of the color change.

Airtight so good on any planet - Would also look good on a ice world like the barge froze there.

Bit of RP as a research platform so lots of computers and lots of tech stations. Large medical room - bunks - bathroom - its modular so easily upgraded to advanced factories and repair systems. Lots of power so any upgrades should be fine. Glass floors and lots of windows to look out over the world a deck for social gatherings with glass dome. I wanted lots of windows to look out since generally the coastal areas have a very nice feel and look to them.

It has a minigun for self defense - 3 factories - armory - medical station - 36 farming plots - lots of storage - and a pool with water in it.

All the rooms are set to motion sensors so lights turn on and off as you walk about reducing fps loss.

I played around with this one to make it look a bit like it was floating and with the new preview system its semi easy to place - used blocks to make a larger pontoon under the base to hide the pillars - the pillars are 12 long allowing it to be placed in most bodys of water. (hold page down to lower it into the water till the barrels on the barge are mostly 80-90% under water for best effect) Best Recomendation is to go to creative and spawn a couple till you get your perfect water level inside the base

The Barge is also a landing strip for hovercraft and SV's I placed several examples on it and even the largest prefab can land there easily. Only area perma lit is the barge so you can find it easier in the dark.
