MotherShips

[avghunter]

Show us your big builds! MOTHERSHIPS THAT CAN CARRY THE MOTHERLOADS FROM GROUND TO INFINITY! I started my little faction called Canadian Ship Building Industries. CSBI. I have to update the ships as its been awhile but I will post them asap. These beauties are massive with huge hangers that spaceships can fly in a dock!

I was never very good at spaceplanes but I had a ship that could haul cargoes to other planets and return to be refueled and reloaded. Does that count?

I consider my last craft to be a mothership, I can speak about it for about an hour I think so I will keep it very simple :

It's a big modular SSTO which has 4 main versions, this one below detach his air breathing engine to be able to reach the Mun and land there, it's the main version in mind.

It's built all Stock, no mod or DLC parts, and with a good load of RolePlay in mind : all the crew cabins are connected, all the bay are accessible, pressurized, all the clipped tanks are emptied so that it fit the real available volume, etc, AND it had to be 1000t maximum, no compromises on that. I wanted it to be aesthetic and performant while keeping all the previous constraints, soooo... Yeah, there you go, took about 50h of design, testing and fine tuning and about +30h for the video itself.

That looks incredible - and complex to assemble! Assuming you assembled it in orbit?

The ship itself was a single launch. 

Then I docked cargoes to it.
