SPACE STATIONS! Post your pictures here

Decided I need a new 0.23.5 station to test SSTOs with. Might build something a bit smaller, pulls about 8fps with a big space-plane attached.

very cool! what mods did you use to build this? I recognize b9 and KW and the new .23.5 parts

[JebThePilot]

While it's technically more of a satellite, it's size and purpose make it a station in my book.

Meet my ODP-2 Sif.

Yeah, bout that......

Meet the NP-L Odin; 16 kinetic kill vehicles, four LV-909 engine pods, four Communotron-64s, Flight Engineer software, parachutes, RCS, and awesomeness. Designed by Jeb, and controlled from the cupola by Bill (Much to his dismay), the Odin is truly the next generation in battle stations. Able to deploy individual rods, and control them using built-in cores, the Odin has a unprecedented amount of accuracy, and a way to resupply its rods. Don't believe me? See for yourself.....

(Script, the space race is on!)

For some reason I only like the stock space stations...

Nice orbital weapon, though I would add that I try to stay all-stock, and that I've actually built guided rods and ODP resupply modules.

I'm just too lazy to mess with guidance, and too worried my PC will die a horrific, Hell-Kraken based death if I added probe cores to all the rods, since ODP-1 Thor (the big one controlling Sif) is around 800 parts.

(Thor originally had more rods and extras, but topped 1K parts by then, and was a tad bit too heavy. )

[JebThePilot]

1) Thank you for the compliment

2) Maybe that many rods on Thor is too many? I keep Odin from lagging by using a maximum of sixteen rods, four each in four pods, and I keep them on docking ports instead of decouplers, which keeps KSP from keeping the part count up.

3) It would have been stock, but then B9's Multipurpose Stacked Booster turned up. Yeah.

I like to go overkill. Also, I use junior docking ports as my rod-mounts.

I'm doing a long winded and not very funny long term colonisation mission to Duna at the moment, but it's still early days. The agency has spent all it's time stuck in LKO putting this thing together. It went up in 3 separate modules using a common launch vehicle and will perform a semi useful function during the mission I guess. The space plane itself is capable of lifting small payloads of a couple of tonnes also. I think it's the nicest one I've created in my kerbal career so far.

Damn, I can't even build something that nice in normal sized KSP, and you went and out did everything I've built, and in RSS. I tip my hat to you, good sir.

[Zyglrox]

Haha, thanks.

It's actually not THAT much harder to do stuff in RSS, since basic principles are still the same.

Actually, it's my second nice-looking station out of dozens boring-looking-not-screenshot-worthy stations before it. It's a replica of ISS ROS with proposed future modules (Nauka and 2 power modules). Lack creativity? Build replicas!

[Flix83]

This is my Zeus II Space Station in a 300 km Kerbin Orbit. It is Multi-Purpose on my current career save, mainly for refueling and building interplanetary Spacecraft. Currently my Duna Expedition Vehicle is waiting for the next Transfer Window. Also there is a pet rock and in the background you can see the Lupus II Crew Transfer Vehicle.

[Claw]

Eh. Here's my most recent. It's mostly a test of using larger sized modules and Clawed RCS tugs for docking the modules. Proof of concept for (hopefully) something larger.

Only about 120 tons and 260 parts.

[stanonwheels]

Thanks man, it's got loads of old crap on it - B9 and KW, Lackluster Labs parts, Wayland station rings, Starvision Flags and Mechjeb. Helped to have the Welding mod too, would have been about 600 parts otherwise

[Raven.]

Here's the Zeus power station. It's an Interstellar station that is planned to deliver power to other stations and ships in orbit around Kerbin.

[Pwnstarr]

Ok, my Station is finished. It's the Omega Space Station from Mass Effect.

Full Album.

P.S. Can someone please explain me how to post the album, I can get it working.

Nice, very nice! I see your Omega and raise you my own (Felt obliged to post it here as well... )

Wow those are awesome. FPS must be nonexistent though lol

[Vonar]

Me having fun with a mostly stock part ISS, the only mods I use is Mechjeb and Kethane.

[Claw]

Finally finished my newest station. It's all stock except a MJ stuck on for stat tracking.

Phoenix Station

Completed station took 9 major docking operations not including refueling. Mass is approximately 600t dry and 1300t wet with a part count of just over 600. It has habitation space for 384 kerbals plus a major lab module.

I can remove the service module and the wet mass would drop by ~20 tons but would save ~60 parts. I only really needed it for the major docking operations, but left it on afterward. (It's the small piece at the end with the LV-Ns on it, on the tip of the docking hub.)

Kerbin Spacedock II is essentially complete now:

I may or may not add something else, if I think of something else to add.

Also, new Munar station in the works, StarLab:

[crskly]

I have built a Space Station and it's not nearly as cool as a lot of the ones previously posted. However, I would like to claim a Kerbal First as I present the first ever back deck in space. I thought the best way to get it up there would be via space plane, but my fails will show you how that little chain of engineering went. Eventually, I did get it up there with an accidental test flight.

[MrOnak]

Guess we're all doing it at some point... today was that day for me.

I built the ISS

[CakeNinjaProductions]

May not seem impressive... But just remember, it was brought to Ike by an SSTO that was also sending another payload to Duna without refueling on the same flight.

All stock.

Haha. I feel bad for those guys. It doesn't look like they will be going home any time soon.

That's nice. It looks like a dance floor.

It's not much compared to some of the other stations, but I decided to start small and simple. It's a model of the Salyut 1.

Nice start Vire. Keep it up!
