So I got distracted... (Four Pictures)

Hit a few obstructions whilst building a new SSTO...

So i decided to build a space station instead:

Current Specs:

- 5 Cupola module bays for the stations staff to work.

- 8 Gigantor solar panels and 8 packaged 1x6 solar panels to maintain power.

- 4 Radial dry docks.

- 1 Large cargo bay capable of holding up to around 8 small sensor probes, or extra snack supplies.

- 2 Canadarm style robotic arms to reach snacks that may have fallen into the structural part of the bay.

- 2 Buran style robotic arms to salvage what's left of the snacks the larger arm has undoubtedly just crushed.

It's still not quite finished. I need to add one more section at least for use as an RCS/Fuel station.

The four radial docking ports will be more than enough for now, and the cargo bay can store a bunch of sensor probes for future use.

I do like the new Cupola module.

Not a bad looking station. I'm not a fan of the arms though. Too much shaking going on for my liking, but that was pre .20.

The Buran arms are fine as far as wobble is concerned. ive used them before and they're fairly solid.

Those Canadarms though... first time using them. They DO wobble, aren't the most aesthetically pleasing and are so sloooooow to use compared to the Buran arms.

depending on my mood i may detach that section and send up a version without them tomorrow.
