I picked lower right, it's different and I like the vertical look. I might even suggest a shaft of light beaming between the upper and lower center circular rim. It could serve as both a becon to make the space station easier to find and a means to show a power source venting system. Just a thought, and I said I 'might' suggest. So I acutally didn't say anything, nope, nothing at all.

Nice designs, all of them are good. (actually Great!)

Cheers!

Top right looks more like something ppl would live and work on. Bottom left is a nice concept, but the two discs are too different in stlye to the connecting section- it looks like a vertical station with two (partially built) alien craft docked. Maybe if you could sort out the style issue I'd vote for that one.
Top left gets the bronze medal, bottom right last place.

Upper right. I'm a traditionalist.

I like them all actually. The top right and bottom left look like good general purpose bases. The top left looks like a good supply base, and the bottom left just screams 'space yard'.

I'd have to know what it is before I can pick out the one I like the best. Did I miss a "name" somewhere?

That's what I thought. To choose the 'best' one, I'd want to know what I was choosing. Some would make a good orbital base whereas others look better suited for mobile applications.

There are no names for the models. They are all Work-In-Progress.

But if I had to categorize them, they would be as follows:

Upper left - potential research station
Upper right - potential warstation
Lower left - potential large space station
Lower right - potential starbase

theyre all rather cool. the lower left looks neat, but is certainly special purpose. the lower right looks very nice, and i disagree with the comment that it does not fit together.

in fact, i think the lower right is my favorite. but i picked the upper right, because it looks like a large platform on which to mount lots of big guns, and im currently in the mood to blow things up.
