My first station (Kind of pic heavy)!

[Malachai]

Well, it took over a week, but I finally got my first station orbiting the Mun! BEHOLD!

She's big. Really big. Four HOME hab modules connected by four BACE inflatable hab tubes, connected to a the 6m B9 crew tank. And that's just the habitat section! Move further down the station and you'll find the Main Conversion Array. Four massive kethane tanks, each with its own converter unit. This, in turn, is connected to the biggest fuel tank we could find, as well as four of the biggest monoprop tanks in our store-room!

But what's the point of storing all that fuel if you don't have places to fill 'er up? That's why we've got five main docking platforms at the end of this monstrosity. When you add in the four hab docking ports, and the four kethane filling ports, that's a total of thirteen docking ports! Overkill? Dang right! Here at Malachai Heavy Industries, we have a little saying: "Think Big. No Matter the Consequences!"

Needless to say, I didn't move this ugly duckling in one go. First went the hab assembly, then the kethane conversion array, then the main storage tank, and finally the RCS tanks plus the docking platforms. Next, I'm going to be putting a small living quarters for the miners on the Mun, followed by the MDP, or Mobile Drilling Platform, then a tanker to go from the drilling platform to the storage facility, and THEN (!) I'll build a lifter, which will basically be a kethane tank with some thrusters. And maybe at some point I'll justify all those hab modules and install a full staff there. If I can figure out how to transfer crew without an EVA...And here's a few more purty pictures of this beast:

OH! And fun fact! Apparently the XL solar panels generate so much energy they warp space-time, generating the quantum state of two objects occupying the same point in space, as described by MacGuffin's third law of apocryphal physics, shown here:

Expect to see great (big) things from Malachai Heavy Industries, where we Think Big. No Matter the Consequences!â„¢

Looks nice! Now that I have got Mechjeb autopilot working, I will start working on my own station.
