I second the 'neat' with an added dose of swish

The giant tail fin is pretty funny, but I'm not sure about the theme parks?

That's awesome. Bummer they didn't get the sizes right, though...

I love those theme parks.

EDIT: Spelling and punctuation.

Am I the only person for whom this completely fails to work? The screen loads and everything, complete with background music, but the only thing I can actually click on (apart from the official site link) is some sort of weird scroll-bar thing next the hull size menu, and that doesn't actually seem to do anything.

Anyone else having similar problems?

I did in Opera, but I changed to IE and then it works

It does mention 900km in the 500km hull description.

My best so far. It looks ridiculous (kind of star treckish), can hardly destroy a planet, but has no weaknesses at all.

No rebel scum can stand up to it.

Heh, it's rather similar to mine. But mine looks far more, uh, unique.

Wow, it's a lot harder to make a decent one than I thought it would be. Quite entertaining though.

EDIT: This is now my best one. http://www.deathstardesigner.com/station/20181

Wow. Nice job. What did you equip? I am curious as to how the hell you did that.

And now, I present: The worst death star.

It's got a massive hole in it, it's crammed with untested weapons technology, and it just all round sucks. See if you can get one with more weaknesses.

New and improved.
Power decreased, but firepower increased by one, defense by 26, and navy by 18.

The truth is that last night I saw a similar design that hadn't spent all of its money, so I copied it and added some fighter bays.

500km hull
Hypermatter reactor 1 + baffles + 3-4 upgrades
Concave Laser thingy + targeting computer + 3-4 tributary thingies
4 turbolasers + 2 laser cannons
2 hangars

That was roughly it, I honestly forget the rest.

Look at his design: he simply aimed for 50 in everything, the way you're supposed to. It's only hard if you get interested in the fluff text and stuff. Click on his link, you can see everything he added.

It's not showing everything he added for me.

I love mine

It's an eggshell with a big fucking sledgehammer.

I'm going to work on a real one now.
