Simple Hermes Core with revolving Centrifugal Gravity Wheel (or any space station or ship)


Recommended Posts

A simple low part count core to build the rest of your space station or ship around and have a revolving wheel. Wow so much round!

111 Parts

120t

Plenty of Electricity and Monoprop

6480 units of liquid fuel

7920 units of oxidiser

Turn on SAS and RCS, Action Group 1 to undock ports, then switch to wheel, turn off SAS and then press Q or E to turn wheel, switch back to main craft, action group 2 to extend solar panels.

Just stick an engine module on it and some landers, docks and go for a cruise around the system with full gravity (warranty void if engines are used while wheel is undocked)

Download

The persistent rotation mod may help if you want to keep the wheel turning indefinitely.

Disclaimer: I shamelessly ripped Azimechs and Redshift OTF's stuff in the building of this wheel.

See it in use here in a much nicer (but essentially the same ship)

Good job! /me likes it!

Edit: Just got a kraken attack :-D

While using the downloaded ship? I haven't had one yet, but as we found with the Dunatian, the Kraken can attack different people at different times with the same vessel, usually due to part count in the physics area, did you have anything else orbiting nearby?
