Space Station Design

[ZooNamedGames]

When I build stations, I basically decide whether I'm going to build a Skylab style single launch station or an ISS modular station, and let it go from there adding whatever I think is needing.

This is clearly shown in my (now ancient 2014-launched) Munar space station

i remember using boosters as structural elements on my first station, and i also remember enabling infinite fuel and electricity to test out a ship and i somehow got to close to the station and the boosters went off obliterating the thing lol.

I once had a thing for booster construction, also.

gave up trying to link an image, because apparently your forum software changes valid links to trash.

Yeah you gotta be sure to empty them first, or 'you're gonna have some problems'. I haven't yet figured out how to both use them as a booster and a structural element, that's probably the dream.

Made a simple station with a little of everything and realised just how much dang fuel you need to send it to laythe if you aren't using nuclear or ion engines.

Trying to make a larger one with 7 rhino engines, few things I learnt, rhino engines and vernor engine rcs are your best friends for large space stations.
