So, two different classes of space thing now known. One strong resembles a listening post, one looks like a giant space hotel with pointy bits. What could it all mean?

 

[Emraldis]

I could honestly just see these being new models for the enclave stations.

 

[Tim_Ward]

a) we've seen them under construction, so not that
b) you think they'd make this much fuss about a few new models?

 

[Brent15]

Does look like a space station. I like the design.

I'm thinking some form of Trade Station, maybe we'll finally get a Commerce and Trade mechanic.

That said, hope Paradox starts focusing on combat after this unannounced DLC. We've so far had DLCs focused on empire, story, management mechanics, tech tree, balancing etc but very little on combat. I'm sure a lot of players are desperately wanting new weapons & defenses, hell even better, new types of those instead of the usual Energy, Kinetic & Explosive maybe we can have Psionic or Biological catogery. Theres also new platforms like Starbase, new ship class/hull since we're missing a lot of those "in between" like light/heavy cruiser, support, gunship, escort, frigate, battle cruiser, dreadnought, leviathans and so on.

IT does look like a communications station of some sort, but I really hope it's a trade port or something like it.

This one looks different to the 1st picture - deep space sensor array? Espionage coming in 1.5?

 

[safe-keeper]

Looks like the type 2 space colony in X-Wing Alliance, I like it .

 

[SuiciSpai]

an ingame option to scale down all space buidling would be nice.

 

[Sange]

Power to blow a whole system up?

 

[Mitchz95]

Yeah, maybe they're changing the Enclaves to use Habitats instead of ordinary space stations?

Dunno.Looks very federation alike space station to me.

 

[Loules]

My thoughts:
- New support-like stations?... Maybe science-hub? о_О

 

[TerranLukas]

I just thought...
anyone remember this?

Spoiler

If what we saw was truly is a titan construction dock...
what can we make out of it?

 

[Uethredyes]

Please espionage. He does call it a "watcher." So I say either sensor or observation. Really far reaching sensors, or really big research boosts from anomalies.

 

[Tyrannical Prince]

My guess is it's a defense station overhaul

 

[Zyffyr]

Clearly they have decided that in the interest of realism all ships need periodic R&R breaks, otherwise they ships operate at reduced capacity. The second station which was described as 'hotel like' is an Interstellar Brothel.
