About this mod
A new version of the player headquarters, featuring six snap points 60 degrees offset from one another. Inspired by JL's HQ_02, but created entirely from modifying vanilla assets. Updated to have options for Terran textures, an anomaly or asteroid at the center, and a central ring either whole or broken into three or six parts.

Optional Files
This version separates different options people have requested into the following optional files:
Mod Compatibility
This mod should be compatible with other mods that do not alter the headquarters visuals. If they alter the headquarters visuals, they are very likely to be incompatible.
Saved Game Compatibility
This mod should be mostly saved-game compatible, with the following caveat: Because the snap points have moved from their vanilla placements, you may want to rearrange your station modules at the HQ after installing.
New Game Version Compatibility
Unless Egosoft makes significant changes to the game such as with the collision engine change with 6.0, this mod should be compatible with future game patches.
Installation
Download the main file and any optional extras. Only one of the anomaly or asteroid optional files should be enabled at once; only one of the sectional or trilateral optional files should be enabled at once. Extract the chosen .zip file in your X4 Foundations/extensions directory. Run X4 Foundations and in the Settings->Extensions menu, ensure the mod with the tag lmd_hq_03 that is turned 'on', as are the optional extras you selected (tagged lmd_hq_03_*).
Notes
The image with a hexagon-looking station was made using the excellent Additional Terran Station Modules mod, which provides the 'Y' connector in those screen shots. There are other vanilla/DLC Y connectors that can be used instead. The snap points are not perfectly spaced in terms of distance such that you can easily create a bridge from one snap point to another snap point 60 degrees away without there being some modules overlapping; in the image, there are some very mildly overlapping modules, but the overall effect is still pretty good looking from my perspective.
Future Plans
The following features may be added in the future:
This version separates different options people have requested into the following optional files:
- Terran Textures: Requires the Cradle of Humanity DLC. Applies Terran textures to the station.
- Anomaly Center: Adds a functional anomaly to the center of the station and applies the forcefield and field lines effects to the headquarters. Mutually exclusive with Asteroid Center. The anomaly will teleport with the Headquarters, and an anomaly will be left behind where the Headquarters last was.
- Asteroid Center: Adds an asteroid to the center of the station and applies the forcefield and field lines effects tot he headquarters. Mutually exclusive with Anomaly Center.
- Sectional Ring: Separates the central ring into six sections instead of the default, which is a single contiguous ring. Mutually exclusive with Trilateral Ring.
- Trilateral Ring: Separates the central ring into three sections instead of the default, which is a single contiguous ring. Mutually exclusive with Sectional Ring.
