This is an EA Ice Mine Station.
The base is inserted into an asteroid. Those water tanks at the outside are ready to be taken by transporters. The reactor doesn't need coolingpanels, because it is cooled by the cold water from the asteroid and the heated water is used to melt down more ice at the inside of the asteroid.

personally I like the dark look as it adds atmosphere, if you look at some of the other gallery screenshots where its bright you'll notice the colours appear washed out.
