I can't say I like this model. It looks like someone took a bunch of Guardians and pointed them towards a common center, and then stuck a double-bladed lightsaber in the middle which seems to serve absolutely no purpose. It's not very appealing or interesting.
I much prefer the current model, though I would like to see the current trade lane brought up to standards in terms of modeling quality.
There's also how it goes against lore and frankly I think personalized stations would be a better way of adding variety.
