TinfoilChef Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I've been working on coming up with a space station that I want to put in LKO for use with Orbital Construction. The problem is that I have yet to come up with anything that doesn't look utterly stupid, never mind stable enough to actually survive the trip to orbit.What would you suggest in the way of design tips? I'm looking to do this with stock parts (for now at least). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNSC Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) Try building inside-out and have the stages fall off from the outside. Edited September 14, 2012 by UNSC Misread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinfoilChef Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 Try building inside-out and have the stages fall off from the outside.Yeah, that "onion" design seems to work pretty good for lifting heavier payloads but that's actually not the part I was asking about.I'm talking more about the design of the space station itself and what design tips that people can offer for something that can be built with stock parts and not look like total crap or be too big to lift.Once I've figured out a decent design, THEN I'll concern myself with figuring out how to lift it into orbit.
