ScrumbleShip is the most accurate space combat simulation devised to date. Gather resources, construct a capital ship out of individual blocks, then pilot it with AI or human help against other players.
Looking down into my station's power core.

Description
I just thought this would look cool, what with the perspective shenanigans.
This is the main reactor core. That airlock at the bottom leads to the fuel tank.

Looks like the interior of the Death Star in a way.
This is a very cool construction, as I've said elsewhere. But one thing puzzles me: why would you want an airlock into the fuel tank? Wouldn't a pump be all the access you want to the tank?
In the unlikely event of a boarding action, an airlock would provide boarders easy access to your fuel tank, where they might be able to plant a timed charge or something. Just food for thought. Otherwise, this is an impressively functional reactor room!
I still have the airlock because I wonder what will happen if the main pump inside breaks down, and the only way to fix it would be to cut through the armor.
I am considering making it a door in a hard-to-reach spot, and replacing the airlock with some kind of pipeline or perhaps the main engineering terminal.
Either way, eventually I am going to redesign this station with all the knowledge I've gained building this one, so thanks for the tip :)
