Ag Space Station Construction
Hull = 1,000,000Cr x Hull Size
Life Support Hardware = 100,000Cr per Hull Size
Backup systems same cost
Crew Accommodation also needs to be added.
STATION COMPUTERS
Just like a personal computer or a ship's computer, a space station computer can utilize a wealth of the programs listed in both rule books. Unless otherwise noted, the computer program level must coincide with the station's hull size. The following computer programs are mandatory for any space station:
Alarm: Despite not having any drives, this program is still required to monitor any and all systems within the station.
Analysis: Required to perform calculations & computations, this program is utilized by the station's various detection systems as well. All stations must have at least a level 3 Analysis program.
Commerce: Necessary to track any and all business transactions conducted aboard the station.
Communication: Utilized for all forms of communication, be it internal station communication, Frontier News Network and other multi-media broadcasts, internet/ethernet, and the likes.
Damage Control: Required to coordinate the crew & computer's combined efforts at repairing any damage suffered by the structure.
Industry: This program is vital to operating the various machine shops and hydroponics in the station and must be at least level 1, with higher level programs utilized for more industrial applications depending on the station's intended design (i.e. an Agricultural Station would need one level per hull size, a construction center would need a level 6 program regardless of size, etc).
Life Support: Required to monitor/control the various levels of breathable atmosphere along with heating & cooling, food & water, waste management, and lighting.
Maintenance: Handles routine maintenance patterns, repair, and janitorial service...this program is often utilized alongside the Damage Control program.
Transportation: Utilized for traffic control, specifically for the elevators running between the hub and ring. A level 1 program is more than adequate for this, however some stations incorporating conveyor walkways and internal monorail systems within their residential & commercial centers may incorporate a higher level program.
Note that these are suggested for the station's central computer, other computer terminals within the station may require additional programs (such as a cargo loader station in the hub would require a cargo arm program). Other programs such as Installation Security, Law Enforcement, Robot Management, and the like are optional (although they are more common on Fortified Stations & Fortresses).
COMMUNICATION & DETECTION EQUIPMENT
All of the basic ship equipment listed in the KH Campaign Book can be applicable to space stations.
However, there are a few noteworthy additions. For starters, the Camera System price would be multiplied by the station size. Skin Sensors would cost 10,000Cr x station hull size. Radar and Energy Sensors with extended ranges can be purchased for space stations, a double ranged system could be utilized in a HS:II station at twice the cost, or a sextuple ranged detector can be utilized on a HS:VI station at six times the cost. An intercom network will cost 500 credits per station size, this reflects panels in the key administrative & operational areas along with receiver/microphones in all the public areas.
