Satellite uplink (with print) + defensive turret
🕑 Added 2024-10-05 16:13:52 +0000 UTCHappy Saturday,
Some update on the outpost project, we now have a satellite uplink structure and had a printed prototype as well. So now I am working on a defensive turret. For sure there will be other options like missile launcher etc to switch out.
Our outpost is starting to come together and I hope everyone likes the progress so far!

yea i've seen that silo before actually on the internet not real life obviously :) The silo itself is going to be a mini project on its own! There are 3 parts, the control room, the middle access portion and the actual silo!

Ah, a man after my own heart. I fancy one of the Titan ICBM silos that have been converted into bunkers for up-market preppers. Slightly out of my price range though, can just about afford a spade and six used pallets.

ahh sorry I misunderstood your first comment. Yea but right now they are a tad bit too thin to the point its really easy to get knocked down. Hence I might tweak it just a bit thicker. We will see!

No, I'd like them freestanding - been looking for something nice and thin like that for awhile. See these awesome ones from Ainsty for inspiration https://www.ainstycastings.co.uk/product-category/base-camp/

Are you referring to the first picture with the two thin consoles? Yes those are freestanding and I am planning to thicken them as they are way too thin and get easily get knocked down right now. I will see if I can make them part of the tile. But for sure I can include some more props like lockers.
Corey Burger
Are those terminal thingys inside the building freestanding? Would it be possible to make them so if they aren't? And could we get a set of lockers & similar things in the same style?

or maybe I will create an actual underground missile silo :)

That's a big old sat dish, Starlink it is not. If you need comms over to the next solar system then it's about right. I shall think of it as a directed microwave or EMP weapon for low Earth orbit defense and have some small mast mounted dish and 5G antennae for comms. Loving the outpost so far, maybe you could design the surface doors/lid for an underground missile silo and the outpost could be the above ground entrance to the buried command center for the missile field.

That's pretty cool. I like the modularity :)
