Best mods for Space station design

[the_pazter]

So I've decided to make, for the first time a space station of my own design. But are there any mods that have good parts for this. I'm not making an ISS replica or anything close, and I prefer stock-a-like but its not a requirement. any lists that don't require to much RAM to run, I've only got 4 Megs.

A few to try, updated to 1.1pre:

Not yet updated:

Some other mods that make for good station play include KAS/KIS (EVA building) and Infernal Robotics (robotic arm). You can learn a lot of good tricks from Project Gateway while you are waiting for mods to come up-to-date:

Also note that people make some shockingly nice stations with unexpected mods, like this one with Planetary Base Systems:

Oh, and for a completely (square/boxy) different look, there is LLL, also not currently updated for 1.1pre:

i would recommend Stockalike Station parts redux 

it adds tons of handy parts like working gravity rings, massive station parts and windows and extendable docking ports

it also changes the look of the capola module, the hitchhiker storage module and the science lab to match the aesthetics of the pack and the parts

it has parts for 1.25 meter parts for small space stations

2.5 meter parts for bigger space stations

And 3.75 meter parts for CHONK Space stations

it also has full IVA that looks fantastic

I know this is a couple of weeks years old by now, but another mod that hasn't been mentioned yet is SSTULabs.  Lots of nice station parts in there, among other things.  The parts are designed to be very tweakable in terms of size and appearance and many of them have toggles to integrate common additions like RCS or Solar panels to cut down on part count.
