11 missions to construct the complete station, 824 pieces, 329 tons, orbits at around 285km. Craft files are coming, I'll post them as soon as I get the chance. Until then, here are some pics . It is so long that it's a bit hard to get the entire station into frame for a good image. Alignment of the modules was also a pain since they are so far apart.

Thanks. Including the three landers, there are 313 parts. The modules were assembled over the course of 6 missions not counting the landers.

Named after the Roman Emperor rather than the nuclear rocket, Nerva Station is a lunar station meant as a go between for planned lunar bases. It is based modular design utilizing two base modules that are assembled as needed (not counting the lunar landers).

Of course, I'm apparently an idiot. For those who are interested, I have attached the craft files used to build the station. The docking module The module connector (the cap) The fuel tank tug

I'm new here. What does DL stand for?

Edit: Double post

Yeah, the idea was to expand it further with more tanks (maybe twice as many as I currently have) and add a solar module at the end. I'll have to wait on that, however, to see if optimizations make it feasible. The multi-docking actually wasn't that bad. So long as you get everything lined up the rest is just rotation. Once you get near enough it just pulls itself together and the multiple ports actually help to line themselves up. Other than the fuel tanks the only other modules are the docking module at the top and the "cap" connector module at the bottom, each of which was taken up in a single flight each. In total, there were 17 flights to assemble the station. I don't recall the exact amount of time but I probably spent around 6-7 hours over several days. I wasn't being very careful setting up some of my orbits and twice my fuel tank tug ran out of power so I had to divert later missions to jump start the stranded tugs. The current station has 514 parts.

This is an orbital fueling station that I've been working on. There are 14 fully fueled Rockomax Jumbo-64 fuel tanks, 14 fully fueled Rockomax X200-8 fuel tanks, and 14 large RCS tanks. There are also some generators and batteries of course. After the base connector was added the frame rate is starting to drop a bit so I'm not sure if I will be able to take it to completion (by adding a solar array and some more tanks, etc). I think it is looking pretty good right now though regardless. As can be seen, each jumbo fuel tank required a separate mission to get it to the station.
