Large strut for space station ?

[ndiver]

Dear all,

i'm looking for a large strut working properly with the current version of KSP. I'm starting to do a space station using the FusTek parts.

There was the amazing Tri-Hexagonal Structural Strut ( http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/24849 ) but i've some bugs with the adaptors when i tried it.

Does anyone has anything better than the current stock, because i find them a bit small for a structural strut (as on ISS).

Thanks for your help

There are some longer structural pieces (with adapters) included in my spherical/toroidal tank pack, in 2 different thicknesses. I think the largest one is 10m long and 1/2m thick. They're simple, but they get the job done for me

Thanks Talisar, i will take a look at it

Yesterday, i totally removed the Fustek parts initially downloaded using the link on the main post of the thread related to it, and installed the one obtained by the Spaceport, and strangely the adaptors are now working properly. And i sill don't get why ...

I also had a look at the ISS modeling and the strut is really big and usable for large space stations. I'm not a huge fan of the Mir-like stations or fuel-stations we usually have in KSP. The ISS style is more interesting IMHO.

KOSMOS has ISS style trusses, but that pack attracts the lag-ken like nothing else. Same thing with THSS. I don't really know of any good truss parts like that.

If you want simple and efficient rather than pretty, a simple config file rescale of the stock truss works well.

I am making things, and have been for a while, but I'm probably close to actually releasing them by now.

Cylinder is the same size as an orange tank, for scale reference.

Thanks guys for the suggestions

@Kommitz : your pieces are quite nice. As it was done on the THSS, you could use the internal part of the strut to put some fuel or monoprop.

As the THSS are now reworking on my computer (i still don't get was what the problem), here is what i did yesterday evening (it will be the base of the space station) :

As you can see the large strut will be used in a similar way than on ISS
