How about a Lyran Defence platform or sensor array or Listening Post ?

Is it supposed to be a ship?  I see it and I think Sensor Array or Listening Outpost.

I don't know, it doesn't have the look for a defense platform.

I used part of it as a weapons platform on a ship.  Then I duplicated and mirrored half over.  Then I thought about trying to make a solor powerd sailing ship, thats when I got stuck.     Keep the ideas coming. I like the listen post defense platform idea.  Maybe it should be vertical and not as long-hmm.....

Heres pics of what I have so far.

Bottom-right looks best; all are good ideas, but that's the on I'd go with.

It looks kinda police ship-ish.

Thats my fav as well. But I am doing an entire fleet, so using them all. Do'nt like the top left one, Thats why I still at it. The top right one actually is as good as the bottom right  one from certain angles. Those ships shown are the FF, BC, DN and CA.
Hopefully I can replace the FF but I gotta come up with a new angle. Don't want them all to look the same.

 I still think that top pic could be something more, just don't know what yet. Perhaps a space station, if I duplicate a few and use them like pillars maybe.

Enlarge the center section by like 4X.
Place 2 more booms on it cruciform-style.
Place another, longer one pointing down.
Enlarge it to base station size.

You could even string pillars diagonally from arm to arm to form an outer ring.

what about a Freighter (looks like a Transport pod that could be pulled by a tug either 1 at a time or in long trains) or a small automated drone launcher personaly it you remove the rear of it and make some sort of engine section and give it some nasty evil looking wings that go up (like the klingon BOP in flight mode) and bring them back instead of having them forward like the BOP then shrink it down you could have a large fighter or evena small destoryer

hehe thats what I was trying was a freighter     I find it hard as hell, cause you want it to look more than just a box without making it look like a destroyer. It always throws me. Also with frighters I got to keep polies down cause they travel in 6 packs. That shape is about 2000 polies as is.

Good ideas, I like the star base one by Carney as well, only got to look up that word in the dictionary to see what it means  

This is the same shape stretched out befor I checked back.

Hey, that's a cool Starbase right there!

And cruciform means 'cross-shaped.'

That would make the most Unique starbase in the game.Seems to me Red that you've found yourself a multi functional little shape right there.Funny when I first saw it I thought freighter but without engines it look more array-ish.

Well I like Taldrens Lyran base better but that one well add some variety. Its only about 1500 poly. SO maybe I can embellish it with cross pieces-cruciform style    as above

Same shape with engines for a freighter.  Ok I think I milked this one good. listening post, base and freighter all in 1.

you nailed my idea prfectly its awsom i might even have to start playing Lyrans personaly im a klingon play whos forgotten what a cloaking device is (something that takes up room for more guns and thrusters but that is a very nice design i also like the look of your starbase version very different and refreshing

I like 'em!! With the freighter, I'd make the cargo boxes (that's what they look like to me anyway ) a little wider...just seems a little open for a freighter.
