ScrumbleShip is the most accurate space combat simulation devised to date. Gather resources, construct a capital ship out of individual blocks, then pilot it with AI or human help against other players.

The Aeris space station, by ZeroKnight. The red circled areas are intended to spin, once I get spinning blocks in place.
Some basic math suggests that these arrays should pull in 130KW of power when about 1AU distant from a medium sized star.

I've explored this station a bit, and it is such a cool design. The whole thing will spin, giving the outer structures attached by arms artificial gravity, while allowing for easy, almost gravity-free transit down the spine. The large, adjustable solar panels will provide the thing with basically all the power it needs.
It's also roomy enough to accomodate several functions, from crew amenities to factories. I will definitely be stopping there with the Queen Mary Ann to repair, refuel, rearm, and relax.
The entry on the main site has more detailed information on the station, so check that out too :)
I've not been working on it recently, as I'm a little lacking in ideas currently. But I do plan for it to be a bustling station with many accomodations for supply/weapon production, and even crew/civilian hospitality.
