My Orbital Construction Station: SCACF Alpha

[1nsane89]

I made this nifty station for further Orbital Construction carfts.

The name stands for SpaceCraft Automated Constuction Facility.

Im very pleased at how it turned out altough it was a pain to get enough thrust to get it off the ground while not using all the fuel before orbit was reached.

Night time, the right time to take off

In orbit and deployed

One of the more beatiful views I have seen

I used the Cuddlefish parts as solarpanels because they seemed to have solarpanels on them with wich it keeps itself in standby mode and it has a Nukyoolar Reactor that it uses when its contsructing a spaceship.

The central white parts are the storage for the components and it has serval antennas with wich to communicate with kerbin, atleast this is how I pretend it operates.

The satellite dishes are actually ISA MapSat so it can go map kerbin or whatever if I so desire.

I had to look trough the entire craft file to determine wich mods I used on this and I actually had to modify the cental parts to be fuel crossfeed capable just so that I could run some nice fuel lines instead of a confusing web. I will put these modified ones in the attachments aswell.

About flying this thing. When you have to uncouple the SRBs you should turn off the liquid engines because the SRBs will burn up in the exhaust, altough thusfar that has not caused a problem.

Mods you need:

Mechjeb

Orbital Construction

ISA MapSat

Tiberdyne Advanced SAS

Truss Pack

Bigtrak

Gabys Quick And Dirty Payloads

NovaPunch

kw PLF set

kw Challenger pack <- In the same trhead as kw PLF set

C7 Aerospace

Assorted Hardware PLF set

Silisko Edition 2

Probodobodyne Construction Kit <- In the same thread as Silisko Edition 2

My modified Truss parts

!Remember to apply the modified Truss parts after you have applied the origional! I know I could have made entirely new parts instead of modifying the exsisting ones, but I realized that after I got the thing into orbit... So yeah!

The links up there? They are 1080x1920 sized so I put them as links because not everyone has large monitors.
