Von Braun Station. Part-friendly docking hub... now for 1.04!

Yup, pretty much like that. :)

BTW, You know you can drop those two medium SRB's, right? They are there only for structural reinforcement during launch, under the gentle tug of the nukes the ring is stable enough to be moved without them. They are actually action-grouped to "abort" so you can drop them as soon as you ditch the last pair of boosters and don't litter space. Not that they take a lot of mass, but they do look a bit ugly and they take two ports where you could store a probe or two.

Just to show it, and because it also shows how I bunch my stuff for interplanetary travels, see this screenie of my Moho expedition leaving Kerbin:

With all those Ore tanks, I reckon I can get enough dV to make the trip anywhere, even carrying a fully fueled lander and an assortment of modules. Note how I keep a couple of Klaw Pods on the ports I mentioned, so I can move stuff around when I get to my destination while still having free ports of all sizes. Alternatively, you could also put the nukes there to free the exterior docking ports...

Rune. It's a really long burn, but the autopilot can handle it without me looking over.
