I don't know, what i do know is Port Olisar was still the only space station in 3.0, don't forget all the other space stations and planets were added during to course of 3.# patches.

Hurston in 3.3.5
ArcCorp in 3.5
Space Stations in 3.6
MicroTech in 3.8
Orison as it is now in 3.14

There were multiple space stations prior to 3.0, and along with Port Olisar were all added in 2.0.

Cry Astro, was removed in 3.3

Cry-Astro Service 262

This Cry-Astro Service 262 was a repair and refueling space station that featured drones to perform its tasks. It was located in the orbit around Crusader and was added with Alpha 2.0.0 but later removed after its functionality was incorporated by other space stations. None November 9, 2018 -...

Covalex Shipping Hub, still there

Covalex Shipping Hub Gundo

Covalex Shipping Hub Gundo is a abandoned space station in the orbit of the moon Daymar in the Stanton system. The station suffered a explosion that partially destroyed part of the exterior which resulted in the death of all personnel.

ICC Scanhub, was removed in 3.0

ICC ScanHub Stanton

The ICC ScanHub Stanton, ICC Probe 849, was a deep space scanning station in the orbit around Crusader operated by the Imperial Cartography Center. Its purpose is to discover Jump Points or other stellar objects. It was added with the launch of the PU and temporarily served as a contact point...

And a bunch of Comm Array satellites, still there

Galgot and Vape... the start of a beautiful relationship.

both close enough, but right there where they annoy the named person.....

VAPID DAMNIT SO VAPID!!!!!!!

 

[LittleAnt]

It's just so funny how PO, as the oldest hub, is held up as one of the most functional and pleasingly laid out locations.

And now it's going to be de-improved

Not at all the most functional. There is no hospital in it (too small to get one), you can't make it your spawn point.

 

[Mole HD]

Cheers vape!

CIG make it kinda easy to poke fun at them

Mikey called you 'The Librarian' in his vid...I'd like to expand on that.

'The Librarian of Lies'

SC Kareah as well, it was one of the original orbitals over at Cellin, still there...new and improved seemingly

VAPID DAMNIT SO VAPID!!!!!!!

Hey, I've gotta grief you somehow

 

[Darkfyre99]

Cheers vape!

???

Wait!

Sovapid… Sova-pid… so-vapid.

Sometimes, this brain of mine…

 

[Darkfyre99]

VAPID DAMNIT SO VAPID!!!!!!!

And ninja’d as well.

 

[Intrepid3D]

Adding more elevators is going to increase the level of nervousness among citizens.

Yeah, but that's immersion

 

[Mole HD]

I actually 3D printed something useful today...in a change from the toilet roll holders and self watering plant pots my missus has had me firing out...

Spoiler: No more plant pots!

 

[VR Golgot]

Chris bobblehead when?

 

[Skizomeuh]

Too many fidels, would require removing a whole planet, or even be its own star system.

It would also probably suck all the air out of the Mole-Cave and have a heat signature visible from space

 

[Mole HD]

New hot project already fired up on the printer...anyone with normal sized hands who uses an X56 hotas will understand why it's needed. It'll be printed in black rather than the white display model of course

 

[Ed02349]

Are you designing them yourself or are the stls available somewhere?

 

[Mole HD]

Are you designing them yourself or are the stls available somewhere?

ThingiVerse is where I go browsing for most of my stl's...they have practically everything of a printable size ever made out of plastic plus some really cleverly designed unique stuff, all for free... and all with the benefit that someone else has already done the tedious work of creating a 3D cad file with detailed printing instructions ...just load it up into Cura or similar slicing software and fire up the printer. I may get to designing stuff at some point but that's not really my area of interest.

 

[Ed02349]

Are you printing in those spiffy corn starch plastic, ABS or something else?
I tried to do some lightclips for my bicycle years ago but most plastic were really brittle. I think I need either ABS or nylon for durable parts.

PETG (recycled plastic) is a bit more flexible, harder wearing and has a higher temperature rating than standard plant based PLA. Like ABS or nylon though, it takes a lot of faffing about with temps on the printing bed and a metal print head with tungsten or hardened steel nozzles to get a decent print quality...PETG needs higher printing temps than PLA, similar to ABS, but the payoff is worth it in the end by being less brittle than PLA and not as expensive as ABS or nylon filament.

We have a plastic recycling thing on the island...takes all the waste plastic and through recently buying a filament making machine, upcycles it back into reels of PETG, which is a lot cheaper for us than buying our filament online... the machine has long since paid for itself by reselling our own plastic rubbish back to those of us with 3D printers

All the waste plastic? Or some types only?

 

[Ed02349]

The recycling part sounds very cool.

@cigwatch
I'm guess they have to sort their plastics which I think is very useful to learn.
