(Stock+) Epsilon - Biggest Space Station ever? 8139 parts!

[Torn4dO]

Yes you read it right 8139 parts, I just survived a lag hell with most of my sanity still intact... I think.
Without the use of tweakscale I believe this is the biggest station ever created! (please correct me if i'm wrong)

For quite a while I wanted to go big, really big so last week I finally went for it and build this space station.
The pictures in orbit are of a incomplete version so they look a tiny bit different than the one in the SPH

During this build I discoverd the true reason why there are ION engines in this game, and no not to provide thrust. They turn out to be cool lights!

The interior

It took 1.5 hours to load this thing on the runway, but it actually did load! Three frames later (1hour) I crashed the game in order to escape lag central.

I would like to break the KerbalX record in part count but the filesize is to big to upload, almost 12mb  lol

It really is amazing, and if you get it uploaded, I promise to try it out 15 years from now with my Quantum desktop computer (alas, probably stuck with Windows 14) and my Nvidia Terrabyte GEForce graphics card with 54 GB RAM.

Thanks!

I already asked him to increase the max filesize on KerbalX.

Seriously, this is beyond amazing. The outside is wild, and the interior detail is amazing. This is beyond a game and is like digital ship-model building.  I'm really impressed at the creativity.

Someone should use the welding mod to make this beast into some sort of fan film prop. This could be really cool. (The craft already is amazing!)

I just created an account on Curse and uploaded this incase anyone wants to take a closer look.

Impressive. Would you consider a career with the Empire? We offer an excellent Health Insurance.

What was the maximum amount of FPS you had while focused on the station?

In the editor I had about 5 FPS but loaded on the runway about 3 frames per hour

That must be terrible to watch!

Reminds me of Mirkloth from Star Defender 4, better make a fanfic with that.

I wonder what kind of system he has

[Deddly]

That's really quite something. KSP --> art. How long did it take you to make it? I particularly like the novel use of mining drills as decorative piping.

Lol, in IT terms my computer is ancient! I think I build it about 8 years ago.
CPU: Core 2 Duo E8400
RAM: 4GB
GPU: HD5750

Thanks! I didn't really keep track how much time I put in but I think it was about 7-9 hours.

I'll try loading it on my system, will be interesting to see the difference

@Whackjob Would be proud. 

Amazing piece of art and design.

How did you not go insane with that lag? How?! Looks epic btw. Truly epic KSP moment

I'm usually quite a patient man but I think I did lose some of my sanity...

[kmMango]

Jesus Jetfuel Christ man, how did you even build this?!

 

Well done.

Alright now you just need to make an equally large lifter to put it into orbit without cheats or anything. That is definitely possible totally, and not completely unrealistic due to the extreme lag that will make any sort of maneuvers impossible. Jesus and I thought making a 1000 part plane was impressive.

[PaperAviator]

I like how you made the ion engines point in opposite directions to avoid the space station being gradually pushed out of orbit over millions of years
