Wok's Rotary Station

As soon as I hear "space station" I find myself thinking of 2001: A Space Odyssey, or a Teladi Trading Station in Seizewell, so of course I built a station that generates apparent gravity through centrifugal force.

This station can regulate it's speed - try it by pushing against an arm - the station will slow or speed up as needed.

The idea was that the joints would all be rather weak so it could be destroyed, spilling cargo and passengers spinning into space. Unfortunately joint strength adjustment seems to be a bit glitchy, so that will have to wait.

To this end, I built the red fighter especially for this creation and fitted it with a pointer to guide you to the station. Unfortunately it's not very accurate, losing sync if you spin too fast. Only because of this, I have left the station on a wall pivot - tho the station can control it's rotation, it cannot maintain position.

The station can defend itself, in a rudimentary fashion, with four mine-lobbers triggered by detection.

SHIP CONTROLS:
LEFT: Linear thrust (fore,aft,port,starboard). RIGHT: Rotation, fire, camera switch.

I spent ages on this before discovering the problem with joint editing, so I hope you like it :)
