I have been trying forever to create a space station in LKO that is essentially a ring construction. It consists of 2 modules - 7 hubs and 12 spokes. Each hub module is a short fuel tank oriented vertically with 6 shorter fuel tanks oriented horizontally and mounted radially (giving you the 60 degree angle between each spoke). Clampotron Sr. docking ports on the ends. Each spoke module is two of the giant fuel tanks with big monopropellant tanks and Clampotrons on each end. The theory is to dock 6 of the spokes (https://imgur.com/WYrndg6)to a central hub (https://imgur.com/vhWLyd8), then dock a hub at the end of a spoke, the just alternate spoke- hub- spoke around the edge to compete the ring. The problem I am having is I can't get the external hubs aligned perfectly (https://imgur.com/LZ6KC5z), and I can only get about 3 external hubs/ spokes assembled before my next module just won't fit. https://imgur.com/gN8dz40 Has anyone else managed something like this and, if so, how did you get everything to align and fit? Thanks for the advice! --------------------------- Trying to add screen shots....
