I have used Blender before (years ago), for 3d printing stuff. When learning it, know that there are a bajillion youtube videos on every topic, so searching youtube when I wanted to know how to do something was very useful.

Just a bit of a side project, knocked this out in just about two hours. My imagination of a Star Base that was stuck in my brain for a long while now. Top/Side/Bottom views. The dots are the ten-meter grid that I forgot to hide before grabbing the image.

Correction to above -- the dots are one hundred meters; I had to shrink the ships to 1/10 size because FloorPlan's max drawing size wasn't big enough.
The base is 1200 meters diameter plus docking arms. I might redo it and bring it down to 900 meters, depending on feedback.

Anybody here a Blender guru??
I can't figure out how to put the 'fingers' on the support ring for the front dome of the warp nacelle. Ditto for the access panel toward the back end of the nacelle. See image here. I tried to extrude a few vertex points on the back edge of the conical section, but it just didn't work the way I expected.

Can you extrude parts of the cylinder outward instead of back from the endcap?
