Captain Kirkbal Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 (edited) So I finally decided to take a break from building military craft, as my creative juices began flowing slightly towards the civilian sector... Here is a station I built, along with a nifty little VTOL SSTO shuttle. The station sits in LKO at 130km, and features a full interior lounge, two observatories, 11 docking ports (5 std, 4 jr, 2 lg), and lodging for 20 kerbals (max capacity 30).My original intent was to build a functional, aesthetically pleasing space station to act as refueling station / transfer point / kerbonaut hub, all while keeping the part count under 250. Well, as always, the part count was higher than intended, though at ~370 it is still manageable and is able to serve its purposes with minimal lag. I would even venture to say that I could have 5 shuttles, 4 probes, and two larger ships docked at the same time without overwhelming lag. Javascript is disabled. View full albumI'm pretty proud of it, but I really wish I had done a better job with the lighting, both interior and exterior... It currently has the name "Terminal One", though I think that's a pretty boring name... and the shuttle doesn't have a name... IDEAS?Let me know what you guys think, and whether or not I should build more stations in HKO and Mun / Minmus orbits. Thanks! Edit: As with all of my crafts, this is 100% stock.

Agent86 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 250 tonnes360 parts10 launches100% stock (with part clipping used to make rings out of Lab modulesAll the docking (even the rings) was done without using RCS or mechanical Jeb.

mckamx Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 My first completed centrifugal-type station. I used Infernal Robotics "tall powered hinge" devices to connect modules in each quarter-section. Unfortunately, these parts did something wonky and didn't stay at their attachment points on all the modules, so the station has a bit of a ragged look.The next picture is just after I docked the last quarter-section module, but before bending the last two quarter-sections around to make their second connection point.The station includes 4 greenhouses where Snacks! are grown, and 20 hitchhiker modules, for a crew capability of 81.

Tankbuster32 Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Since the Kraken decided to spawn a copy of my old Skylab inside itself, I decided to create Skylab II. It's still a WIP though... (Also, that truss is one of the most expensive things I have ever launched in career). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampa Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Here is my Orion space-station.. A small station.. its very limited because my PC..Album:http://imgur.com/a/Kf2nOHope you like it.. Hey, it looks like one of your station pieces is the Destiny Module from the ISS Community mod, am I right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zekes Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 My latest station, in Laythe Orbit.... she has full fuel, 2 crew, an 2 brand-new SSTOs ready to supply my ground base untill a resupply ship gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sampa Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Here's how my station's progressing. I've extended the original design by adding a new habitation module as well as a tricoupler hub. Each of the spacedocks pictured was put up in a single launch:http://i.imgur.com/8hhXh3Fl.jpgClick the picture above to go to my imgur album. Click the pic below for a large, gratuitous gif:http://i.imgur.com/Jn2bDWDl.pngGah, those spacedocks would have been a headache for me, even when using mods to get them up...good job!

CelticCossack51 Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 My first space station from last year. It was called the Saute station in honour of the Salyut stations. it was launched in one piece, but it was not difficult. i was still new at docking and taking screenshots without the HUD.

Sampa Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Bill and Jeb survived the trip down and the station had parachutes.Phew... That's good to hear... I was afraid that you did what a few others in here did and literally sacrificed their station crews and deorbited the station with everyone still aboard...

Slam_Jones Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Working on building a new style of station: I call it the Hobo-Station.Basically, instead of docking the modules together like a normal Kerbal, I just get them close to each other and connect them via KAS.Will post pics later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
