FriedMunCake Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I have made two space stations and I want it in Orbit, I have Mechjeb, Zoxygene Mod, EPS (came with Zoxygene), Damned Robotics and Damned Aerospace Crew tank.I am hesitate about editing the persistence file, I will only do so if I see no other wayIf you think I am crazy for making a space station when docking isn\'t included, well then I think you\'d like to look at Damned Robotics, I made docking clamps out of that.

Fuflang Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Looks like you have quite a bit of fuel (in the form of full fuel tanks) as the body of the station, that is a lot of mass to try and put up into orbit. AKA it's really heavy and needs some extremely powerful rockets to get it into even the lowest orbit.I suggest you find a different part to make the body of your station.

6677 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Or use that fuel to get it into orbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlazingAngel665 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not to worry, a simple design will work 8.1/10 times. . . Use a decoupler, then put four large tanks below it and a large enging, then radially attach the same stack you just made in x6. Use fuel lines so the inside engine burns the fuel from the outside. Then set the staging so you fire seven engines at ignition. Tie together with struts, then add MORE struts. Then practice flying, it might not be easy to fly but a whole lot of rockets are worse. If the rocket weighs too much on the pad then use SRBs the old ones to kick start it (the new SRBS are puny) hope it helps.BA665 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuflang Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Check out the Kosmos Parts pack in the addons showcase fourm. Those are some really good parts that should keep you busy for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togfox Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 If your after some realism then check out the orbital construction mod. If I design a craft I can't fly, I'll break it down and fly it to my space station in parts and the construct it in orbit. It's not the instant answer you are looking for but it is about playing the game after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
