Ground bases/space stations DLC


Recommended Posts

So I know that many players (Including myself) love to build ground bases and space stations. However, the stock parts for things like this are very limited. I'll want to make a huge, fantastic space station and end up with a few "Hitchhiker" containers stuck together with a cupola and some solar panels. There are a few mods to help with this, but it would be nice to have them be in the base game. The devs making the parts would be better in a few ways; namely fewer bugs from more professional designers (Although the mods I've seen are very well made). Adding some more parts in a DLC would be great, and many people would buy it. I'm pretty sure that this idea has been mentioned before in the suggestions, but that was only about space stations and focused more on centrifuge rings and stuff like that. 

IDEAS:

  • Crew tunnels
  • Hydroponics Modules (For fun or for life support mods)
  • Rover bay with doors
  • Some way to make it easy to land horizontal bases (Wide landing legs?)
  • MORE SCIENCE

Sorry if there is another thread that is the same thing

Different approach at legs

Lemme add this though: Without any additions to gameplay, new mechanics, like life support which you've mentioned, I can only see two purposes for orbital stations or bases. Laboratories and refueling stations. While not pretty, it's absolutely doable with parts we currently have.

But it would be nice, only if it served actual purpose. Just for the looks, not really.

I agree with you, and yes you can use the existing parts to serve these purposes. However, they are not pretty - like you said. As for the only purposes being mining and research, I also agree. Perhaps the DLC could include a new thing to do in orbit or on planets - this is, of course, a very popular suggestion, so maybe there could be an achievement for having kerbals on the surface of a planet for a certain amount of time. Another idea would be specific modules for tourists, where they could be pampered and tended to. In career mode, you could even have to pay upkeep and shuttle in staff for the "hotel".
