SPACE STATIONS! Post your pictures here

I did it again now with a stellated dodecahedron.

How do people build rings and get them to connect up? Or do they just use struts to close it?

This is your answer:

 

[sir_frost]

i dont use struts i place the dockingports close in the VAB and then it autoconnects when the craft is loaded. and thus making a seamless ring with less parts than if i used struts

V4 looks pretty nice, it's an actual ring instead of a spurred wheel:p

I see you used the Mk3 Adapters to make the joints. It works great, doesn't it?

 

Rune. Shorter sections actually make it look more regular.

Which mod are the updated capsule and the service module from?

i created a nice display type of space station

A genius at work here, an amazing Kerbal feat Sir_Frost  Genius!

Station in shell - easy assembling station with centrifuge:

I finally managed to get a circular space-station around Kerbin as well. My previous one, which had a bigger ring, kept getting attacked by the Gyro Kraken. 

[ScriptKitt3h]

I shamelessly took @Rune's wonderful method of making MK3 ring stations in stock KSP (utilizing the shuttle engine adapter part) and made myself a 'lil Duna rest stop-station.

Alongside that, I finally crewed-up my main LKO station, Valhalla, which utilizes a mixture of a habitat ring, an "inflatable" module, and fuel storage+docking adapters to provide plenty of services to ships traveling to and from Kerbin.

 

All-stock here, by the way (save for visual FX mods).

Station in shell was expanded - science module added. Now station has name: Babylon 6. Also station now has escape pod for all 12 crew members.

[luizopiloto]

finished a small Mun station... :3

[ScriptKitt3h]

The yet-to-be completed Installation 01-K. Each cargo bay has 2 ASAS units, 2.5m probe cores (for redundancy and power storage), and 2.5 meter docking ports.

 

At this rate, Installation 02's going to be much, much larger. (Might need to get the VAB/Hangar extender mod to build it though. :P)

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you:

Athena Station

 

[Consentia Aeronautics]

I was wondering, since I build many of them, if anyone had an stupendously amazing space station and would like to share it. Here are a couple of mine:

I would love to see you all's space stations! So if you can post some screenshots!

[Finnan]

Just completed a contract to build a station orbiting Mun.  I call it Mun Station. 

[Rocket In My Pocket]

Here's a random collection of space junk, Errr...I mean my space station.

It's from a fairly early point in my latest career save, I was feeling too lazy to come up with any sort of cohesive design and just started docking things I didn't need anymore to it willy-nilly.

It's since been abandoned because at 350+ parts it's starting to become a real pain in my FPS. Anyways, I think it qualifies as "interesting." 

[LaytheDragon]

The most interesting space station I've ever had was the massive, over-1,000-part DysonCube Station.

I docked the bottom two modules to it (in addition to a 1,000 part heatshield I docked later on), and I had docked three maintenance jetpacks I had used to destroy some unwanted parts, too. (the blue lighting is from the jetpack...)

[damerell]

No screenshots, but I had an interesting station-building time in 0.25 or so with TACLS and Station Science (which includes some heavy parts like the cyclotron and requires you to dock experiment modules then undock them to return them to Kerbin). I settled on an an entirely line-astern station - that way a tug attached at either end could easily drive it with thrust straight through the CoG - one end Clamp-o-Tron SR for heavy equipment like the tug, the other standard Clamp-o-Tron; ships would come up from Kerbin, dock on that end, rotate their crew onto the station, then when the experiment was finished other crew would come back down with it. By designing the experiment missions to have surplus life support, the station could be kept resupplied, and with KAS (no KIS back then) minor problems with the station (like idiots (me) knocking off a bunch of solars docking) could be fixed up on EVA missions.

That was the most station-buildy game I had. It was in Science mode, so I wasn't guided by contracts, just by the need to run the experiments.

[Consentia Aeronautics]

All of these stations look and sound awesome!

[Brownhair2]

Lost it in the Great Reset of 1.0. Or whatever update it was. The one where they completely redid a lot of parts. RIP

Having a thread for sharing stations is a good idea, @Consentia Aeronautics. Such a good idea, in fact, that we already have such a thread, and yours has now been merged into it.

[sir_frost]

I made a pentagonal hexecontahedron. witch is a 60 sided geometric shape.
it consist of only stock parts but use 5x symmetry.
to bad the part count is high
