designing an orbital yard/drydock

[steuben]

As I continue my slow and plodding adventures in the Kerbal Spaceship Modeling Program, I'm now turning toward building an orbital dry dock/shipyard. Most of what I'm finding is the nets of Star Trek or the few vague references of Star Wars yards. Some of the EU of Star Wars has some examples... but not much.

Any other examples/suggestions that I can work from?

Are you using Extraplanetary Launchpads, or are you just going for visual design in stock?

[steuben]

Visual in stock. But a design that could plausibly be built in stock... assuming the kracken doesn't take an interest and use liquid helium, serious CPU overclocking, and some slight violations of physics on my computer.

I've always been partial to the framework dock, like the old warpship spacedock mod. 

Spoiler

You could probably build something akin to that with girders.
