Neat What -exactly- was that for, out of curiosity?

Which is part of a space elevator station, the round top hat in this original concept:

You made you point.

I'm still not entirely sure what that's supposed to be, but whatever it is, it looks cool

Thanks. It's a Space Elevator Station. Space elevators are basically planned vehicles that climb a ribbon of carbon nanotubes from Earth up to geosynchronous orbit, and climb down. They need a station at geo, and a counterweight beyond geo. This station has some 40 or 50 sets of ribbons, for multiple elevators, of 6 sizes, from passenger size to large cargo. The rectangular part is 27 km long, 8 km wide, and has internal and external dockings for ships of various sizes. The round thing at the top is a military base, which is what the texture is for. The wheel-like things are spinning hotels, for artificial gravity. That's for my mod, Tadpole, currently on the shelf, since I'm more eager to get WCU going first.
