In space, redundancy is an absolute must!
If you must shut down the reactor for any reason, you realy do need some
other power source. The solar pannels will support the station during
that time.
If the solar pannels are damaged, the reactor will take the relay.
Then, you have some fuel cells and some alternate, emergency, power sources.
You need fuel for the reactor, that fuel must be imported = bad. The
solar pannels never need any fuel =good.
The reactor need to be able to support all of the station's power needs,
and the same old true for the solar pannels.

I made the living area about 75% bigger.

I like the new panels, definitely an improvement. Are you planning on doing a
render with radiosity or are the areas that are totally black intended to stay
that way? (I think it looks good how it is but am curious as to how it would
look with radiosity on.)

I was planning on giving it a try. I think I will do that now.

Here's a quick render with radiosity turned on. Note that the white
background was added by XnView not POV-Ray. The original had an alpha
channel before conversion to JPG.

Looks like the thrusters will now be able to cope with every attitude
problem.

Made it narrower, and took the image from a higher angle.
