The GTI Asteria


Description:

The Shard Of Infinity Tech Room Description

The GTI Asteria is a station originally desgined for commerce and trade , with it's 9 docking points and able to station at least one wing of fighters for patrolling purposes, the station is well fitted to serve as a hub for trade in the system. However as Asteria-class staions are easily set-up, this class of station became the GTA's choice for supply outposts in contested areas. With 24 turrets the Asteria's self-defense is outstanding for station of it's size but since the limited durability of the construction fighter cover is adviced.

Developer Notes

The model was originally made by Axem and than converted by Oddgrim. Later some problems with the model regarding the dockingpoints, the until then non-fuctional fighterbay and the maping were solved by 0rph3u5. Another version of the model exists in the Inferno Alliance mod which was derived indipentently from Oddgrims conversion or even Axems original model.

Some features of the original model were lost during the conversion - like the teeth around the hexagonal hole.

Compared with Acadia the Asteria really some serious defensive ground-work; The combination of Flak and Laser turrets allows it to take on fighter at short range and to defend itself against warheads. However if attacked from the distance with beams or long range laser turrets the Asteria is quickly destroyed.
