Edit: Should probably clarify that my "mass relay" is really just two opposing mainsails with a fuel tank sandwiched between them. Good for deorbiting kerbals or small pods.

Cool, then someone else could make an escape pod that could be deorbited using your mass relay.

so can I teleport the module to the station without needing to fly it there?

That would be cheating. But we will probably make some kind of a delivery system so that beginners don‘t have to fly their stuff to the final destination. You would have to launch it to LKO instead and them someone else takes care of the transfer.

I‘m ready now.

I'm also ready. It's been a month since 1.10 released and 1.10.1 has also been released. It's been over a month since I last played ksp other than for testing mods, and would like to get started on this.

Anyone want to build the core module of the station?

[The_Stinky_Broccoli]

i will.

[s_gamer101]

What part limit do we have now? 10? 30?

For the core module, I would say an appropriate part count limit would be 20-25. If @epicfailure2020 can get it down further without compromising aesthetics or functionality, then great, but it's not necessary.

Who makes the transfer vehicle now?

[VoidCosmos]

So I am back too.

Let's start on 17th August?

Who is gonna make the transfer vehicle?

I'm up for it. Assuming the destination will be in the Joolian system, based on both polls?

[eee]

I can build the core module and lifter!

@epicfailure2020 said that he would do that, but I think we may need multiple core modules because it would be very hard to build a station with so many modules around just one core module.

[VoidCosmos]

K then 7th August

[catloaf]

Ok, here's what I think is going on.

On August 7 @eee will put the core module in LKO. Then @Aniruddh will transport the core to low Laythe orbit. In an order not yet established people will take their modules as far as they can get them (either docked to the core, or in low Laythe orbit, or in LKO.) After that me and a few others will dock all the modules to the station with LV-n tugs. The save file will be passed via email.

Also, does everyone here have discord, because if so, we should start a server and pass the save file that way.

Second also, I am assuming that the modules will be transported in separate tugs or in groups of two, because this will probably take less time and effort than transporting them all at once.

I don't have discord

The number of modules that are transported together should depend on their mass - When there are as an example 4 small ones we transport them together, but if there is a very big one, we transport it alone.

Yes, the low mass modules are light enough that engine gimbal and rcs can compensate for the offset com, but we can't start figuring out how may tugs there will be until everyone's finished. Unless of course we build a ridiculous tug that can handle 20 big ore tanks.

That reminds me that we should have a way to produce fuel on the station.

(Who transfers my little 50 kiloton comet to Jool?)

I think a Astreoid would be the best way to do this. We could capture a Dresteroid in Dres Orbit, then we wouldn‘t have to transfer it all the way from Kerbin orbit to Jool.

[Space Nerd]

Unfortunately I won't be able to play on 8/07, also I still have to finish my entry for the little lander challenge first.

[catloaf]

I think the 17th may be too late because some of us will have started school by then and may not be able to play ksp.

[Space Nerd]

Then how about start at 9th?

Yes.

Also, who's doing the core module, I think 5 people are saying they will do it.

Kspi-e has engines op enough to do it (the comet.) I could install it ,and then destroy all ships with its parts before passing the save file.
