VLOG: Dropfleet Commander Week – A Space Station Odyssey
December 7, 2016 by crew
With the ships out of the way it's time to have a look at creating some holographic objective markers. It's amazing to see what a little drybrushing can do for the detail on all the buildings.
Warren's joined John and Justin to find out what they have done to the Space Station with a glorious timelapse ending, this thing is a true beauty.

Tune in tomorrow to find out How Lloyd's Moons have turned out

Very nice space station….. but its not straight….!!!!!!!! 🙂
Its angle is perfect 🙂
you should have used the STARWARS emperor’s quote about (this fully functional space station) @warzan
Looks great, good work guys. I’m really looking forward to the live blog this weekend.
That station makes Jump Zero look like a porta-john.
“OK Fleet – Launch is go!”
“After you…”
“No after you!”
“Watch out – that cruiser’s reversing lights are on”
“Isn’t there meant to be a launch plan?”
“There was – but Admiral Leroy Jenkins couldn’t wait”
“To me!”
“To you!”
“Bu&&er this I’m heading back for another coffee – let me know when the Jam’s cleaed”
We have checked and double checked every departure angle, and not a single politeness bottleneck in sight 😉
considering the number of ships that are connected how about…
Docky McDockStation
Good display music.
Even though I am currently heartbroken that I am still waiting for my stuff, and not near as enthusiastic about this game anymore, THAT LOOKS F@#%NG AMAZING.
Great job guys.

Space 1999 theme tune works well….
Haha..! That’s brilliant 😎
Great work gentlemen and I’m looking very much forward to seeing it on the weekend.
So try not to break it 😉
It looks like a slightly more gritty version of the stuff that was in Space 1999, Buck Rogers and UFO.
Battlestar Gallactica (the original) was pretty gray too.
I wonder if this station will be in orbit near two moons … one slightly larger than the other
I think it may be time for me to retire 🙁
Why the f**** did I not think of that!!!!!! Lol
It shall be an Easter egg this weekend 😉
I had no idea Ann Summers made space stations.
Nice Plinth 🙂
Awesome… TARGET…lol
I keep thinking of Babylon 5 when I see the station.
Haha thank you I knew it reminded me of something
With the fleet attached it is no longer a space station, it is a Hate Station. Station Hate!
Some great work guys. That space station is a beast haha.
I’ll be honest still not sure if I will watch this weekend. Just found out my pledge has gone missing and Hawk not replying to my e-mails I’m struggling to get hyped for the weekend.
It’s a shame because I’ve loved all the previous ones you’ve done.
Anyway good luck for the weekend have a great time guys.
Looks Great… Would look better with a clear base
The Iron Maiden of spacestations, looking forward to seeing it at the other end of a few flights
The addition of Also sprach Zarathustra just made the time lapse scene!
That is amazing!!! I’m inspired, can’t wait to get building space stations now.
Space Station Name: Nineveh Cinco
that my friends is how you reveal a space station.
EPIC
I do like the old school grey but I do think that you missed an opportunity by not painting it red and calling it red dwarf.
Truly inspiring and AWESOME!! And now with the new stand, ‘we can fly under it’ 😉 lol
Looks cool with all the ships on it. A clear base would make it look even better.
@dignity you should have used a Perspex base it has a hell of a shadow? on the planet maps.
looks like the base at the start of wing commander at the end of the video,
just hope for no surprise attacks guys.
I loved this weblog. That time lapse was well and truly epic.
Warren couldn’t help the space station having a nipple no?
Are the ground assets just for a Warren or are they for everyone? If they are for everyone is there a way to tell them apart? I do not own the game so I am not sure about the components.
The station with the attached ships is very impressive. Can’t wait for the name. I hope it includes a Maximus.
Maximus penitratus
S.S. JOJUSZAN
DANG it @warzan now i need to get how many set of the space station to to build a display stand for my fleet
Thats obviously the competition for the weekend guess the number of kits…win a Moon…lol
“The Babylon Project was our last, best hope for peace.
A self-contained world five miles long, located in neutral territory. A place of commerce and diplomacy for a quarter of a million humans and aliens. A shining beacon in space . . . all alone in the night.
It was the dawn of the Third Age of Mankind – the year the Great War came upon us all.
This is the story of the last of the Babylon stations. The year is 2259. The name of the place is Babylon 5.” ~ Commander John Seridan
then @warzan declared war on the galaxy and peace went out the window.
Looks great. I feel the ships or the station colors need to be a little darker so there is more contrast between the two because right now they kind of bleed together. Although that might be the look you want…someday I might even have my stuff to do my own super battle station.
Call this beauty “Iron Maiden” 😉
looking forward to seeing this up close 🙂
That station is the hybrid of B5 and Fleet Command from Starship troopers. the only thing that would look more impressive would be some Cylon Base Stars…..
I suspect that Fleet Admiral @warzan has ascertained and checked that all of the firing solutions for all the close defence weapons will not impede any of the launch corridors of the fleet when mobilised.
I glad to see the @johnlyons finally has a small minion to assist him.
Awesome space station! I would like to make my own from the kit, but since I am a Kickstarter Commodore backer I of course haven’t received any of my rewards or even a shipping notice. My pledge is still processing. But the space station is cool.
Looks really great with all the ships on it and gives a great sense of scale. Babylon 5! I would like to build some really cool ships as well, and paint them, but alas I am a Kickstarter commodore backer so of course I don’t have any of my ship models. Had to go to retail first.
That is no moon…..
That station is insane!
I wonder, if all the ships were angled in the same direction and turned on their drives, would they be able to move the station through space?
Glorious!
Where is the Space baby?!
This is so many kinds of awesome! Love it. Basically Babylon 5. Can I ask how the space ships are attached to it? Have you attached Hawk widgets to it for the ships to clip on to or something?
It is superb.
Want to share my “Tempest”
