S.S Constellation Polaris Space Station - Links to mods now added

[jamieadd]

J.O.S.T have just launched a space station.

If you send us modules they can be added to our space station. Just send me a .Craft file and ill get rid of the command pod, and add it to the station.

History:

The station started out as a project x. x was a very basic space station made from a command pod and some kosmos parts. x-2 was slightly larger. The largest station was called 1.

1 was a very long station, forming the core of what we now as S.S Constellaris. V 0.2 was called Constellation, and included some more huge modules that were launched soon after the core. V 0.3 included some small changes, and a new docking section opposite the large solar panel arm.

mean while, Munstation was building His station. The station was called Polaris, and had extremely advanced technology, but lacked the size and space that the Constellation had. However, shortly after the main station was completed, a docking port went wrong, causing a huge explosion scattering parts all over space. But J.O.S.T, The company who designed the plans Constellation, decided that the abandoned parts could be fitted to Constellation, and recovered the parts and flew them back to Kerbin.

After contact with Munstation, a new plan was made, using the Polaris modules as new Constellation modules for V 0.4

The v 0.4 Project became known as Constellaris.

Upgrade to v 0.4 will commence over the next few weeks.

Here are some Pictures of it so far.

V0.2

Mmmmmm....Omnorphio!

What mods? Please a link! Thanks!

And the name:

-Orion

-Dunarius

[L99thebeaver]

I have an idea! Big jumbled mess! Lol

[jamieadd]

I think its kosmos, Bacekit, dammed robotics and ExPI space stations, but there could be more. [ATTACH]33039[/ATTACH]

If anyone knows how to attach a persistent file, tell me and I'll upload that to.

And the mapping thing, but I can't remember its name

I would use a name from sci-fi, maybe... Deava?

Can you give me a link to those mods? Thanks!

Name it "Hogdriver" for the man who made docking possible on this day.

[Saphira]

yes, best idea yet

[Munstation]

How about naming that station S.S (Assuming its a Space station, not a Space lab)Constellation, or Polaris, actually a polar orbit would be good for a name "Polaris" I think.

Though how could THAT be a space lab?

Its surely a Space Station.

I'll name the top docking part of it The Hogdriver Module.

Its sort of both. Its a space station with a space lab attached.

Thanks for the links!

Now you can send me modules for me to add on to my station!

[Munstation]

Well, my Space station Polaris just exploded violently in Kerbal fashion

The docking ports (Using the docking mod) exploded violently, causing the station to tumble endessly into the void of space.

Ah well

I was planning to use that on my next module. Thanks

[Munstation]

If I was to give you a module, it would most likely be with the KOSMOS pack.

My entire Polaris station was based on Kosmos, I find that kosmos, if used in certain ways, looks amazing. But my station also used Relay mod because I decided taking a pod up every time would make the station a little clustered, though, I would recommend either:

Making a large comm sat network (Possible way, must be before the station is being assembled, or timewarp is bad news.)

OR

Perfectly time it so that just as you regain communications to KSP, launch then teleport the module up (My way, worked quite well unless you find docking too hard and go over-time.

[jamieadd]

I just make a rocket, launch something and when its in orbit i quickly change the persistence file before any kerbals notice. I did launch the huge core section on its own.

News:

V 0.4 will include parts from the recently destroyed Polaris space station! This will also mean more types of craft will be capable of docking because of the different types of sizes and docking equipment.

[jamieadd]

The station will now be called Constellaris (Constellation Polaris)
