jaf Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 ok so i was looking at the gateway spaceport https://gatewayspaceport.com/the-gateway/how-to-build/ and i was looking at the way they purpose it be built and i was wondering, since we have orbital ship construction why not have orbital station construction, not only would this make for larger stations but also more interesting looking stations. anyway i just had to get that off my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Aziz Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 We're going to have BAE (base assembly editor I believe), and I have a feeling this can be used to construct both surface and orbital bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maria Sirona Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 We could just build craft with those stations and then dock 'em together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattinoz Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Surely the point of building in space is to use material from space instead of launching it. I which case you only need to launch the smallest machine that can build something bigger. Just don't install the the ravenous AI on it. Would think a bunch of 3D printer drones just restocking them with ribbon somehow like harvesting space junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sawg Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 In KSP2 the size of the ship that you can launch from the Kerbin VAB will be limited to a certain size. Also, the teaser video for KSP2 shows an orbital ship yard. TDLR orbital ship building will 99.9% be in the stock game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junk, Moons, asteroids, planets. anywhere with a lower launch cost than from the surface. Kerbals have advantage over us a lower launch cost and well there dense *nearby would seem to be relative to the Dv used to get it and where the fuel for the Dv comes from.

Asteroids, moons and junk are a rare occurence in Low Kerbin Orbit. Unless you move to Dres there won't be enough space junk to build Daedalus.
