KSP 1.10 Venture Collaborative Station Grand Discussion thread

[minerbat]

I dont know where you live but in the netherlands (where I live) it is afternoon. I am able to play tomorow at about 11:00 am. (9:00 am GMT). Can I go then? I can try to design my modules right now but I dont have enough time to launch them.

Are we using a standard type of docking port? Or can I choose which one I want to use?

My first module: science lab!

docking ports:1 clamp o tron jr. (on an adapter supposed to look like the one used on the iss), 1 clamp o tron, and 2 clamp o tron sr. (one I will use for docking it)

parts: 29 i wanted put a ion probe in the cargo bay but that would add way to many parts for such a small detail so i decided not to do it. so just imagine the empty cargo bay is a place to deplay probes from

it contains every science experiment that does not have to be used on a surface or atmosphere and 2 labs for much amazing scientific discoveries. also a habitation area for the scientists to live.

2 more modules to come!

I think that this nuclear reactor looks super cool!

But I am going to sleep now.

My fuel transporter, Kerbin SSTO, Probably Tylo lander, Laythe Lander thing. Its not done yet. Has some control issues, and is a lag friendly 104 parts!

I originally decided to build an ion probe, but switched to a nuclear ship because the problem of generating enough EC at Jool.

Is someone busy with it right now? Because I have time now.

Do you want a place to dock it?

[minerbat]

my last module: an observatory, it has a place for kerbals to relax and enjoy the view, a telescope dome, and a radiotelescope.

Together with my other two modules: an laboratory area and a "nuclear reactor"

When can I add them?

If you just have a single ion pushing a few tons, you can get away with around 500ec of storage with 2 RTGs for generation. Even once the batteries run dry you can get about 1.2kN of thrust running straight from the RTGs.

Is that a fairing on top of your observatory?

It is a fairing, yes. But there is nothing special inside. It is meant to 1: replicate the shape of a dome like this one:

 

And reason 2: It hides the back of the SENTINEL telescope part so you can only see the little telescope lens

Also, where did I say 'Snip'?

Editing a quote to say "snip" is common forum practice when you don't want to add lots of quoted text or images to your post.

[minerbat]

I did not know that

When can I add my modules?

so should i build two other modules? i cant dock so can i just upload them to kerbal x for other people to dock?

There is no minimum, you can just build one module if you want. You can build up to 3 as well, it's completely your choice.

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

so does the core count as a module?

I would say yes, from what I saw of it earlier.  

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

also does config editing to make parts have rediculus stats count as chaeting? i want to make a module that fires probe cores at the speed of light.

Probably not.

im trying to find the save

 i cant find it so i have to do it again im gonna make it the same tho

[eee]

im gonna make a quick visual mod pack, is that ok?

Do you need to use it? I would want to but my computer can barely handle stock KSP   If it is something that is optimal it is fine but if I need to use it not really. Maybe if it is very light weight I can run it on low settings?

I might be able to compress it.

[minerbat]

 

Am I required to use it or is it an optimal thing?

 

[eee]

Its optional.
