So, trying to figure this.
A. Deploys anywhere on the Imperial half of the board.
B. No movement dial.
C. Set Up is 4 huge bases, arranged into a square over the peg holes. So, essentially 4 huge ships in a circle.
D. Each quadrant is an "independent ship" Each gets an action, and upgrade cards with the exception of the Station's Modification and Title cards are not shared between quadrants. When a quadrant is gone, it loses all upgrades, Energy, etc. It's functionally not there.
So:
I’m currently working on my Imperial Department of Military Research asteroid base:
I call it the PAW Installation - Prototype Assessment Way Station. It’ll be a TIE prototype testing facility.
Neat stuff. I’ve got this coming in the mail. I’ll have to work up some X-Wing specs for it.
That looks closer to a rebel Space Station
Here is an Imperial one.

I had an old Revell model of DS9 for years. . .and then I think I tossed it when I moved. About 1 year before XWM existed

I was trying to find something official, but like most Imperial hardware nothing really fits XWM scale.
So, it just found a pic I liked on the internet and gave it a generic name.

I have many regrets when it comes to my old toys. When I was a kid I was extremely destructive with my toys. While the firecrackers and cherry bombs made spectacular explosions and many cool memories, there are several things I really wish I still had.

That’s what I plan to do. I’ll probably try to make up specs for a generic station then maybe titles for Rebel, Imperial and S&V pirate bases. Just kinda thinking out loud, not really sure.
how about?
it's from Babylon 5 (the Centauri defense station over Ragesh 3) but it has a roughly imperial vibe, and no obvious items to indicate scale.
That reminds me of the Imp research facility from XW Alliance.

That’s pretty cool!
So here is my WIP space station. The nice thing about the DS9 model is all I had to do was tap some holes into the top of the pylons and voila! two space stations for the price of one!
Top side painted up as an Imperial base and flip side painted up as a Rebel base.
I jotted down some preliminary thoughts for specs and titles. Since this will only be used in highly customized scenarios, each station variant will have predetermined specifications with just a few upgrade slots for modest flavor enhancements.
X-Wing. Space Station.
For a space station, what about the Imperial construction modules ? They have a hangar and appear to be a reasonable size.
Why not use the wonderful stuff provided with HotAC as terrain ? (With your stat cards).

PERFECT!!

I will. I do. The physical model is just a pleasing prop that I may or may not ever actually use in an adventure
Actually, for the HotAC terrain, there is a gentleman on the HotAC FaceBook group who is designing cardboard game tiles for all of the HotAC terrain pieces. The tiles appear to be very similar to the FFG cardboard (e.g. asteroids etc) in thickness and durability. Other than taking a few liberties with the color scheme, they are identical in size and shape to the ones in the manual. I'll be picking up some of those when they are ready.

the above pick was deep space 9
edit: the poster i was quoting didnt recognize deep space 9. no clue why it posted these pictures
Edited by VontoothskieI don't have a fancy model but I have started using the terrain from Heroes of the Aturi Cluster. I will post the rules in another post ( space station rules ) as they are fairly long.
