I had a weird idea for a station design and I'm wondering if anyone has had this idea before.
Torus style station with a full-size coriolis at its hub?

Something like a Kiota Habitat Station?
Or it's bigger and odder sister, the Mega Habitat Station?
Both from WildShips OXP. Not a Coriolis at the centre, but at a similar scale...

Oh good - station pics! Not on the same scale (or style, but hey) - this is Avernus Orbital hanging above the interstellar Neptunian Lago:

Heh, I thought 'If we're doing stations, I'll post a nice pic of one of the Xeptatl's Sword stations', but then I came across this...

That's part of the mission OXP
Coyote's Run - along with lots of asteroid swarms, and
L'Auberge de Lago , the finest restaurant in the Eight!

You guys are awesome.... All of you!
I'm sure Giles sometimes sits back and smiles looking at these tremendously nice OXPs and shadery stuff thingamajigs, thinking: 'That whole OXP idea was a good one....'

Yes, and they in turn explode to make the explosion even bigger and longer. We like big explosions!
