And THAT was the idea I was trying to go with: a ship building ship ( the U.S. Navy has Maintenance Subs that can do everything from repairs to eye glasses ) ; The Ares ShipYard has engines ( think they were engines ) So my idea was that the CW has a 3x the carrier size ship in length for building smaller ships / repairing carriers,Destroyers, manufacturing......provides dock services to the player and otherwise behaves similar to the carriers ( if not, the ship itself would be enough with a dockscreen that says " get lost" would work ), It is spawning ships to Patrol the system, enact retaliations, missions: gate out as if heading to a new post.......
I do not think the width would be very much bigger only because I am not sure if there is a size restriction to the gates ( not that it would need a gate, it lives or dies in the system its placed like the carriers are but the question of " How did it get there?" would relate to the scale of the ships).
My PROBLEM is that I have wings, kerkthea, blender.....but I can not get them to finish anything I want to try to finish: I am missing something and it's probably obvious or right infront of me the whole time:

Soo, to make a long problem short: I figured I would present this to the Minds of the Universe and see if it is worthy of suggesting to " Ideas" or if you would just run with it and whip out one of your awesome ideas .

I think what you're saying makes sense. the CSC' are carriers, they should have ship buiding qaulities.
If Transcendence was made in 3D, I would die of Happiness.

Location: Hmm... I'm confused. Anybody have a starmap to the Core?

The question now is to have a separate ship that does maintenance or override the CSC to do the maintaining.

Since the Aquila doesn't come up too much in Trans, you could use that as a placeholder graphic.
As for rendering, I do render one ship's 40 facings in Wings, export them to Kerkythea as 40 XML's [I can't grasp how to use Kerkythea's camera system yet], use Kerkythea to render the 40 facings, and finally using Photoscape to put them vertically.

Not to be Politically incorrect: but it was all Greek to me: I have Wings, Kerky ( brainstuck) and get no place .

BUT : the Super Phobos was an idea that rose up to smack an idea from forming: but the star carriers are not limited to the ones with the adventures......say a coded ring of them, like StK rings the station sections?........

Maybe, Ill tinker with it unless somebody else uses it.
