I too would like some overall stats on the part count, full/empty mass, TWR, and delta-V.

TWR

[Azimech]

Drive section.
Without boosters, tanks full: 491t.
Tanks empty: 238t.
Part count: 346.
TWR: 0.31.
Delta-v: 4.09km/s.

Crew section.
Without boosters: 238t.
Part count: 303.
TWR: N/A
Delta-v: N/A.

So after docking the Delta-v is nothing to write home about but that wasn't the goal of this project. But if anyone wants, I can replace the MK2 fuel tanks with MK3 fuel tanks and give it more engines.

Oooh. Shiny! I like. Part count could be worse. Still going to chug....

Wondering now - Frames per second or seconds per frame?

It's reasonable, I have all settings on high, use scatterer and EVE. Still FPS.

 

Anyway, I got home from work, woke the PC and this happened:

The scale is nice man but what technology is it demonstrating?

The technical limitations of blue lighting. See that bit that isn't lit up? That's the current tech limit.

I think that what it's actually supposed to be demonstrating, is the big hangar door, and the airlock doors on the main corridor/neck. Witch i think is pretty neat .

It actually says it on the first pictures (the one on the album) description too .
