This is my first public project, so if I screw up royally, I apologize in advance.

I've had the idea for this kind of structure rolling around in my head for years, after building (and loosing) a simple prototype in a server I frequent, I figured it was about time I built a larger scale version. While the outer structure is complete, the inside is nearly empty, save the central Core and supporting structure.

The structure is meant to be an orbital spire, space dock, or space elevator, granted the current height maximum doesn't allow for the idea to really take off. I'm putting it out here on the web, and would like to know what people think of it.

I will be skipping releases so that I have proof that I produced the structure in the event that someone attempts to steal it, so expect weekly updates of the file if I have the time.

I have updated the available World Save, up to update #2 at time of upload.


I have run out of steam and have no idea what else to add, besides some kind of starship (which I lack the necessarily creativity to design properly). I'm putting the project on hold, if anyone has any good ideas, I would love to hear them at this point, they have a good chance of being worked in.

Additional Notes


This is a super prototype, I will be constructing an 'economy' version in a survival world (the attached file is in a Creative World).

Because of the sheer amount of work I'm going to need to do for the Tekkit systems, I am going to go through and build it as a vanilla structure first, then update it over time. I got lost dealing with some of the things that were added (computercraft is too tempting).


I am also looking for a good texture pack to use with it. If you have a suggestion, please leave it below.

In later screens, you might notice the Aliens Motion Tracker by MamiyaOtaru, I recommend it.


I will place all builders that have helped out in the credits section.

And yes, Blacksworn, this is me.

Update #3 : by Omegaprime02 09/17/2012 11:27:57 pmSeptember 18, 2012 @ 3:27 am UTC

Began construction on umbilical for future starship, one of my friends will be helping me with that at a later date. All habitation level lights are now wired, not to a central controller yet, I'm putting off tekkit integration for now, stay posted.

I'm lagging behind because of my new job, but in about two weeks I should have time available to work on this project, sorry about that.

A wonderful job thus far, I love the futuristic look of it! Also, I commend you for your extended use of Glass... slightly tricky to get the look just right with the transparency properties of the blocks. Again, well done. /Diamond. Keep up the excellent work!
