Colossus Space Station [0.16 STOCK]

[Foursh]

The Colossus

This massive rotating ring space station is (so far) the largest craft that I have put into orbit.

It's roughly 45 to 50 meters across, and over 180 parts ( which is about the limit of what my laptop can handle )

looks awesome man, how hard is it to pilot into space tho?

[Foursh]

It\'s surprisingly stable, but my computer only gets about one frame every two seconds while flying it. It\'s pretty much a slideshow ;P

Mother Of God!

That has to be one of the most epic things i\'ve seen on KSP.

I love anything that\'s enormous and spinning and in orbit. 8)

[Tim_Barrett]

Did you spin it and put a kerbal on the inside?

[Foursh]

I tried, but the frame rate was too low to control him

I did it with a smaller version though:

Impressive as hell, man; good work.

[Pingonaut]

Absolutely amazing! :thumbup:

Is there enough fuel on board to get it back to Kerbin? Not necessarily a safe landing, but at least get it back down.

[Foursh]

Definitely. The periapsis is only 78km, and it has over 6000L of fuel left. Without a parachute though, it might be a rough landing

This is great. Its so great that when I got bored I did this:

That is great. Thank you ;D

Mechjeb can\'t handle it If I hit in an orbit alt of 100, 150, 200 etc, when it goes to do the gravity turns, the ship just goes in an endless loop spinning and touchdown on Kerbin with no survivors :/

Woah. Must be a monster getting it up there.

[xmrsmoothx]

How did you get that thing into space? Let\'s see the rocket!

[red7paulbrennan]

Very nice, thx for the craft file ;D

Got this into orbit at 100,000m no problem

any idea how long this took and or fail attempts

[Oddbin]

I\'m thinking this but change true fuel tanks for crewtanks from the mod section! Space hotel!!

[ccrraazzyyman]

I cannot seem to get this in space. It twists and turns and when jettisoning the first set of fuel tanks it destroys itself. Amazing creation though, I\'m quite impressed.

you should put a tail connecter on top of the command module, it would look []D [] []V[] []D!

[TheDownloaderG3y]

Did you spin it and put a kerbal on the inside?

Our maybe outside? ???

[Atimed]

Is it just me or dose it look like a Stargate..

Keep up the good work man..

[kuulness]

lol that should be in the challanges section "Try to get this in orbit". I finnaly did it though, and it was worth it.
