[BG] Stock spinning ring-station core.

[JERONIMO]

A spinning station core.

How to use:

Get it to orbit.

press 1.

timewarp on x2.

timewarp to x1.

turn SAS on.

IMPORTANT:

1 Q. What can I change?

1 A. You can add/remove the command pod as long as you keep the main structure untouched, you add stabilizers and connect the two modules with struts.

2 Q. What I can't change?

2 A. You must and not change:

        The rotor type.

        The rotor location.

        The middle section (there is a stabilizer).

3 Q. Why it is so slow?

3 A. The slow speed is for stability, to increase speed follow the next instructions:

        Turn the rotors on.

        Timewarp on X2.

        Wait for flying rotor/s.

        Timewarp on X1.

         Turn on SAS.

4 Q. Why it's breaking?

4 A. Don't forget that it is still a physics entity, so you might timewarped to fast and/or overstressed it with side mass.

5 Q. Can it contain snacks?

5 A. Possibly.

6 Q. It looks ugly, can i put some sort of construction around the rotors?

6 A. Only as long as the constructions don't interact with the rotors.

7 Q. Can I change the amount of the BZ-52 radial mounts on the core?

7 A. Yes, as long as you put them on the stabilizer.

8 Q. Can i change the size of the stabilizer from 1.25 m to 2.5m or 0.6 m?

8 A. NO! NO NO NO! It's a part of the spinning squad, changing it mean changing the size of the rotors (for stability)! 

9 Q. How do i lift it to space?

9 A. Build a very heavy launcher (if single launch station) or if multiple launch station, then a heavy launcher, or ALT+F12.

10 Q. How much power it has?

10 A. It was tested only on a small octagon ring, so lifting power is a question of time.

11 Q. How it works?

11 A. A stabilizer with 0 power in the middle is a holder for radial mounts, two rotors (direction matters) are used to power the station, then another 2 rotors work as friction controls to keep the spinning part from the whole spinning content, two command modules with stabilizers are used as connection between station and spinning part.
