First real station.. WHAT should I put up next?

[Tidus Klein]

Hi guys like the title states, it was a few days ago when I realized that I had never built an actual space station before.. I had put together interplanetary ships but not a station.

So I just now finished putting the kethane module on my "NEW" station.... What else should I send up now?

Parts It has now.

1, station core, That thing in the center with the hitchhiker

2 observation module, the cupalus at the end.

3 Lab module, that lab on the end.

4 docking module, That four spoked wheel thing with docking ports.

5 an escape module, that big fat craft with the hitchhikers and the missing engine...dont ask

6 The tug, That cute little thing you see on the top with all the SAS units on it,...LOVE that thing!

7 kethane module. Do i really have to explain?

8 solar array, Im going to move that......maybe

You could always put some fuel tanks on it. That might allow you to use it as a refuelling point for SSTOs and other rockets.

Yes, fuel tanks are always very useful, and really open up the possibilities of having useful SSTO's (i can never get a SSTO to orbit without emptying the tanks, almost completely), which really creates some fun gameplay!

[Frank_G]

A module with some autonomous science probes, so you can always launch one, when needed. And a reactor and energy storage module to guarantee the stations functions in case of emergency like crashing into the solar panels f.e.

[Highlad]

Also:

- A Mun/Minmus-LKO Shuttle

- SSTO return vehicle (I know you have an escape craft, but its always fun to have a classy way of going home when its not an emergency)

- A bar (I sent one to eve)

[Alymon]

Wow. That bar is awesome. Was that stock parts and can you share the craft file for it?

[timsfitz]

Love the bar. I will be sure to add one on my asteroid base.

Yeah, all stock.

Have you thought about a military craft - a small fighter - for defense?
