Planetary Defense Base (Human, Techlevel 1)

GameAsset for my new project. Ships, Starbases and Weapons come in 3 Techlevels. Image rendering is nothing special since I never get deep into Blender Rendering (no time and need for that). What is shown here is the LOD 0 variant of the model as it will be imported into the game, and the plain diffuse texture. I know i cannot compete with all the great visual designers out there, but ingame there will be better textures later when I add correct materials and bump mapping where it can apply.

Ingame Description :

This is the T1 variant for the planetary defense base of the human faction.. Since planets can have up to 5 defense bases, and a single fleet can have up to 3 capital ships ( + 5 to 20 cruisers and destroyers) the starbases will be balanced in such a way, that a single base has approximately the strength and firepower of 1.5 x a capitalship of it the same techlevel. Turrets and Shield can be upgraded / equipped to a certain extend, depending on techlevel. I.e. I might allow T2 point defense weapons and an upgraded shield to make them be useful a while longer before you have to switch to higher tier bases, which are of course expensive... This applies to all ships and most starbases, which have exchangable modules and weapons, which have their advantages and disadvantages in the battle.

Orion Empires :

This is my new project, more infos will follow. I decided to bring my "The Orion Frontier" project one step further and will merge that into the new project "Orion Empires", a 4x singleplayer strategy game. (If released, and if possible, I hope to make it multiplayer, but it's not my initial goal due to budget and skill reasons.
