Final texture is done for the Large Structural Hub. Download link for the part can be found in the Original Post.

I was wondering when someone was going to do a 2.5m connector node. Your looks very nice, as does the tunnel part. These will help make large space stations look a little less silly. Keep up the good work!

Ooh, thank you!

[udk_lethal_d0se]

Look forward to seeing what station designs come up with these parts.

Think I'll start building an Orbital Supply Station, X3 Style.

Do they have any function? like a hatch for the interconnecting tunnels that let them hold crew?

No, but that would be incredibly easy to add if need be.

Then go, go my modding friends! Go, and mod like never before!!!

EDIT: Because, to be honest, some parts that large on a spacecraft would have a function of some sort, like housing, or a battery, or, a large RTG within the structure.

I agree, I have a plugin in mind to add functionality to these parts. Something along the lines of randomly generated disasters, sealing off components, loss of Kerbal life, etc.

I love your large hub and structural tube... these will make my space station much nicer!!

Think I could make a could of requests that would my my interplanetary ship nicer?

I'd love to have 3 pieces styled like your Large Structural Corridor, a 2.5 version of http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/TVR-1180C_Mk1_Stack_Tri-Coupler, a 2.5 version of a dual coupler like it. And the one that I'm really really wanting. A 90 degree corner, either curved or angle don't care just a corner.

Don't see any reason not to have a go at making some of these... I can do the 90 degree corner part relatively easily.

[betaking]

why not make those tabs parts by themselves?

I think they would be awfully useful.

[Moon Goddess]

Oh yeah that was my other request, I'd download those tabs as radial attachments in a heartbeat.

Oh let the chaos begin!

If you do this would it be possible to make some of the malfunctions repairable?

It could give EVAs a purpose. Even internal station repairs could be represented by a troubleshooting flow chart with a GUI interface.

Basically you choose your way through the chart and have a random chance of getting it right for each choice.

[loppnessmonsta]

You're very skilled. I like your hub in particular. I'd also like to see those tabs as an individual part. Better than sticking the tiny cube struts all over my ship.

[udk_lethal_d0se]

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions.

I've added a list of items that I'm currently working on to the Original Post, keep an eye on this as it'll be updated regularly.

[Gryphorim]

i think you may have linked the same part twice...

Thanks for notifying me, the links and titles were incorrect; they should now work as intended.

[Gryphorim]

No worries, I'm loving the look of these parts, kind of like stuff that never made it into stock or KSPX, yet still definitely that same artistic style.

[Tommygun]

I had this issue with the mod.

Although a lot of mods are having this same problem with the launch pad, I just thought I should pass this along.

I think it may be a problem with the core game as even the stock parts sink in a little at times.

Also did you mean to release the Hub without the final texture?

Hey, I have this issue myself. I'm guessing it's a problem with the core game, as there's nothing of note that I can see to fix it via *.cfg

As for the texture, I'm going to be remodeling the two parts soon to include more detail on the connectors, ie bulkheads.

I know they're a lot more work, but it'd be cool to see an IVA for the station can. With your texturing skills it could be the best looking mod space station internals, even if it was just cupboards and a sleeping bag.

Alternatively, maybe togglable window lights.

I was toying with this idea earlier, but I'd need to make the corridor parts command modules to allow IVA. If, in the near future, Kerbals can move freely internally between modules via player control; I'd consider it.

Lighting, it's a nice touch... people have been doing it and they look ok. But I'd prefer to link lighting to power consumption.

I will be making a plugin to complement these parts, ie station disasters.

[udk_lethal_d0se]

Hey all, I have redesigned the Large Structural Corridor and given it a new texture and EVA-Grabbable ladders.

As always, let me know what you think. This will replace the original model if I get enough positive response.

[Chebalu]

I give the first!

[ialdabaoth]

NICE! Can I request two more parts in this series?

It would be amazing to have 90-degree arc and 45-degree arc corridors, that could combine together with these parts to make station rings.

Also, with your beautiful little strut tabs, it should be possible to just strut the last connection in place.
