joppiesaus Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Post your space station here!F1 to take a screenshotF2 to hide the HUDAnd just upload your picture!So, I will start off, my beginning of the Awsome Friend Station: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpangod3 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 O.o holy.... That is so huge.... *mind-nuke* how did you even get a section of that to orbit? It's so huge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoboRay Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) My newly launched current station is rather limited. I haven't brought up the expendable drop-tank rack for Mun-missions or the large tanks for on-orbit refueling yet. That's my Delta Clipper-style SSTO docked on the "top" side.A pair of robotic tugs are parked on the ends of the power trusses.

M5000 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just finished my Mun station, KerbLab Two, a sort of Skylab analogue of sorts. I'm planning on using it as a small crew storage and rendezvous point for crew transfers. I'm slowly working on a base on the surface. The object will be to launch crew to the station, THEN have a sort of orbital "bus" come and get the crew and take them back to a station in LKO, which will then have a small, cheap vessel that can de-orbit itself and parachute to the surface. I know it seems like a lot, but I figure if I'm going to play with actual cost/force limitations on myself (or try to), then it would be cheaper to keep a high-capacity bus in orbit than to launch a separate mission every time. I also plan to have a bit of fueling and such that the bus can carry, so it'll really be a multi-purpose type thing. Anyhow, here's my kinda boring station with two recently decoupled orbital tugs: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van Disaster Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have three at the moment, partly born of experiments. I make heavy use of Fustek parts in an attempt to keep part count down ( and use it all up with solar panels, usually... ).Low Kerbin station ( 90km ), fairly heavily used at the moment.Canadarm module ( which has lost it's docking port somewhere ), fuel pack, orbital crew transfer shuttle, docking size adapter ( I seem to have lost the tug it's meant to be attached to ) and inevitable spaceplanes docked.--Top Kerbin station ( 205km ), assembly area and launchpad for future missions. Once usable part count goes up, anyway, right now it's just about usable for fuelling.Local tug, more Canadarm modules, solar arrays, couple of fuel tanks and a xenon tank pile docked. And of course a spaceplane.Mun station. To service Mun, obviously, not that I've done anything with it at all yet.The arm thing under the solar arrays is a micro docking truss for probes/satellites.

chainedlupine Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 So far my largest station is my Mun station. It currently has holding tanks for Kethane, and is my current testing platform for all Kethane-related activities, such as tanker designs, etc.Yes, it's missing a Gigantor panel due to a stage-separation accident en-route. This same design is in use around Kerbin (100km LKO, equatorial) and around Duna (same thing as Kerbin). Currently, those two stations are just refueling depots and have orange tanks docked.

SollyK Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My little fuel station with a ship docked. Somehow I lucked into a really artistic shot.And another shot of the whole station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallChange Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My current WIP space station. One thing that I am a little proud of is that I got both of the solar arrays up in a single launch. The garbage scow looking ships are a couple of docking practice craft. Last count has 10 or 11 Kerbals, with my my homeboy Dilrod commanding the mission. Still playing with ideas of making it reconfigurable into a starship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoY Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I'ts still a work in progress. I only added the heatshield for the aerobrake at Laythe. Quite an expencive addition for something we dont actually need(47tonnes) but I cant wait to see it hit at 8kmps!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atanar Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 It may be small, and it looks even smaller on this screenshot, but it's stock and I brought it up without help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spatzimaus Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Here's one of my stations. This one's Gateway Station, my primary LKO refueling depot:This design is a 300-ton station launched in a single lift, not assembled in orbit. Here's a picture of its launch, using an asparagus stack of 3.75m rockets (KW Rocketry): And here's one of my earlier spaceplane designs refueling at the station:Each station gets its own unique name; at the moment, I've got three of them in Kerbin orbit (Gateway, Farpoint, and Crystal Palace), but the goal is to put at least one around Eve, one at Duna, and at least one at Jool (probably one over Laythe, and one in a high Jool orbit). Those pictures are a couple months old, but I've only made small changes to the design since then. It's designed to be the core of a modular structure, with lots of 2.5m docking ports (CBM mod) where I can attach additional components. Once the 0.20 resource system goes in, I'll attach refining modules for the various resources to stations around each planet, so the Eve station will be capable of refining the resources found on Eve and Gilly, and so on. The part count is high enough that docking gets a bit tricky, but it's not slideshow-level lag. And the station has integral high-efficiency engines (hybrid ions), so it can drive itself to other planets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noticeably FAT Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 What could possibly be drawing that much power that you need 4 sets of Balka Solar Wings?What is this 'need' of which you speak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SollyK Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 What is this 'need' of which you speak?It's this word humans like to throw around. I only find that it keeps me from adding more boosters so it must be bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frafor Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My first statiton, it took about 30 launches.This two stations are for suporting my minmus base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoMorph Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Basically my refuelling centre in LKO. It's basically two of my Heavy Mining rigs (the faulty ones lol) that I have used to moving fuel around. They can even land on moons to grab the fuel (when I remember to include the Kethane tanks that is lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

automcdonough Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) big laggy station:Originally was going to put it in orbit around jool but it's too big and flies like crap. It's a Kerbin fuel depot resort.smaller tanker ship:for all purposes this works better but obviously carries less fuel. Still plenty to put it orbit around jool or duna then derp around with a small SSTO craft. Edited April 22, 2013 by automcdonough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFK Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Sky Can IAll stock, assembled in orbit with docking ports. All launches, rendezvous, and dockings flown manually. Currently has two tankers docked at one end and a crew vehicle at the other.And with all that extra battery power, I like to keep the lights on.

adi_tetac Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 My standard station, orbiting minmus, once the lander lands and comes back its heading off to duna, and then a station is to follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
