Am I allowed to own a space station?
I am not talking about some kinda high sky-box that you can see from the ground. I want a station so high in the air that you cannot see it from the ground even if you flew upwards for a minute or two. Higher than any "long-distance teleporter" could take you, the ones that you program a destination and you sit down and let it take you to the destination, the only way to get to this place would have to be direct teleport made fancy with some particle effects and sound.
I do not have to own this land, I would be happy to rent if someone has the space ready. If you can help me out just post a price and we can work something out and I might be able to meet you later tonight or something.

Max height you can leave objects is 4096m, above that they'll just be returned to your inventory. You can't place objects any higher than 768m via the edit menu though. If you want to rez a spacestation above 768m, you could attach an object to your avatar and drop it when you are at the desired height, that object can then be used to rez the space station on.

So I create a box prim and fly up as high as I want, drop it and make it flat and I could then build ontop of that? That sounds slightly ghetto.

4096 is pretty high in SL terms; but you will need to get a reasonable scripter to design you a repair system for it; since objects past 768 are susceptible to spontaneous deletion at midnight.

Hello Maxwell I have a platform that rezzes a "skylift" vehicle that you can either fly straight up or straight down. I fly it to 4020 or so, then use a button on my vehicle to rez a temp on rez 30x30 platform that re-rezzes every 60 seconds. As long as the vehicle is "parked" you could make it rez anything within a reasonable size (all linked). I think it could also rez a permanent one just once, but that will disappear at midnight (as Adam said). The cool thing is that vehicles do not de-rez at midnight, so re-rezzing the TOR object is kind of an ugly solution (because of overlap), but works anytime. I know it could be a higher interval, but there seems to be some rez lag at those higher altitudes. Anyway, mine is not for sale yet, as it needs to be nicer and I am in other projects, but I hope this gives you an idea. Also, you basically have to delete it when done and fall back down, because I have not put in an off button yet  IM me in world if you would like to see a copy of mine. ~Snap EDIT: btw, you can drop pre-existing inventory objects on it at that altitude, but you may neither move them or create or edit in anyway. They will seemingly disappear but actually move to768...

Maxwolf, If you are still interested in this I could design something for you. I have a lift that will get 4 people up to that height in about 10-15 seconds and bring them back down. It is basically a fast, high altitude elevator. I can design something that will let you rez a space station, depending on size, at that hieght. I can also design the space station if you like. I have rezzed a very large build (30mX60mX60m) at that height with no problems. As long as the root is below 4096 it should be ok. Let me know if you are interested and we can go over ideas.
