the main advantage this station has is that it doesn't have any real blind spots until you're inside the ring.. basically meaning that unless you're fast, lucky or very very good you can't get close.. and even if you can then there'll probably be a Nial or two trying to stop you.

I've posted a couple more renders of this onto the TBP website.

And if you did manage to destroy it from the inner ring, you are now in the middle of what (knowing the TBP team) will be a VERY large explosion.

I'd better mention here that this isn't finished yet.. still got the texture to finish off, then LODS and destroyed subobject geometry to do.
