[Showcase] Post your Bases

[Entelin]

A refueling base I built at laythe's north pole (perfectly flat, great place for a base, and easy to aim for from space). Pretty utilitarian, I had a huge rover with KAS to pick up the modules and move them around, you can see part of it on the right. The home admin module was powered mostly by the large solar array in the center, which was attached to it using KAS. There were two identical aircraft to use to fly around laythe with, one of which can be seen in behind the solar array.

My first Mun Base.

It's a simple design and I lifted it off in one piece and landed it. 3 stages, 4 counting the solid rocket boosters, used the last stage which was landed whole on the moon to finish the transfer from Kerbal and land on the surface.

Made it with just 77 points of fuel left after starting with 44,000 fuel points and 6,800 SF points.

LOL, the launch vehicle is about as rickety and jerry rigged as you can get. I spent the evening tweaking it, 2 dozen test flights and a few re do's to come up with this "design", there are too many struts count but on the 3rd try I got it into orbit without it breaking up at some point. After dropping the main first stage and SRB's, not surprisingly, it was much more stable.

I have two old moon bases:

a simple, mundane, large one:

...and a less effective but much more extravagant one (with windows in every suite overlooking the beautiful, serene, landscape consisting of uhhh......rocks?):

Laythe Base with 22fps

This base was just deployed, crewed and supplied with an exploration rover and a couple of buggies using the MOdular Mission System (MOMS):

Inspiration to build epic Mun base: Acquired

Skill and patience needed to design and send to Mun: Required, but optional

[Toastie_Buns]

So I uhh....landed my first moon base.

Houses one. Serves as Holiday Home/Retirement cottage.

Inspires Kerbals with awe.

I'm back playing KSP, at least for a while. But I promise I'll release the modular base kit and share the construction techniques this time around before I disappear again.

So when does this piece of awesomeness become available?

I made a Mun base!

And I parked the whole thing next to the Lunar Landing memorial.

My communications tower kept having an issue in that it would wobble and "walk" away. I think I'm on a slight slope. It eventually moved more than 100 meters away. So I used my new rover to push it back into place.

My habitat can house 8, but I only staff it 3 at a time to give them plenty of space. Each has their own home module, and the 4th is for storage, community space.

Looking out the window at the rover, the comm tower, and the Memorial:

Basically, each section was its own launch. 3 launches, 3 pieces. They all used a sort of "sky-crane" to land, then detach and fly away to crash somewhere.

Probably more to come, once I think of something new to add.

[GraviTykillz]

I never got to fire the Rocket cart in that was is in the trailer. the update (.20) killed them all

I have now automatic updates turned off

And we missed you! You must be one of the people I learned the most from. At the very least, you are the KSP player most referenced in my threads...

[mellojoe]

Added another module. This one for SCIENCE!

[Toastie_Buns]

I guess this belongs here - basic rover refueling shack. I suppose it's somewhat of a power-plant too.

Lands effortlessly with no mods. (save glorious engineer redux)

//fixed that leg in the first picture. Oh symmetry, you cold hearted wench.

[Temstar]

So when does this piece of awesomeness become available?

Soon, within a week or two:

I'm launching parts for a base to the Mun as fast as I can to prove that the launch vehicles for the parts are sound. Once I have the base assembled the parts will be released.

Hey guys, I found KSP like 3 weeks ago. I was instantly impressed. This is my intro post here also.

After learning the basics, i quickly run into limitations of part count with my initial design in my first munar base attempt.

After that i tried to establish a Duna base, but it was quite primitive and few things were just no working right, specially with the docking system.

So after a few days I was inspired by Temstar base and decided to make something similar. Tested everything in kerbin ground and later launched piece by piece into the mun.

There are 2 crawlers to dock the rocketship. 2 rovers to assemble to base. standard kethane modules, crew and support modules. Lags just a little but still keeps a playable performance.

[Javster]

This is the next thing I'll do. Probably w/ HyperEdit, which I use only in sandbox. I'll see how far I can get in career, then I'll do it there.

Duna Command Center (DCC)

My next step is to put some APC's in a garage next to it and also lay down a solar array field.

[Dakitess]

There is lot of beautiful things in this thread ! I allow myselft to show mine :

This is an all-in-one Ground Base, large enough to welcome 53 Kerbonauts ! But as always, Dakitess Corporation prefers to give comfortable situation for his heroes, and it has been decided that 5 guys is perfect, on in each lateral apartment, and the commander in the center.

Thanks to the four engines embedded, this station is completely able to land in water (tested !). Tkink about Laythe and multiple small island made of this Base, linked by flexible bridge

This Base has been completely assemblied module after module, to prove the faisability of the project. The all-in-one version allow to have something structurally reliable, without the flexibility of docking ports. Below, you can find the complete thread (French, sorry...) of the differents steps :

Heres my Laythe base I made.

Yea it flies.

[Dakitess]

This is very close to my Layhte base ! Nice looking one

Some additional pics of my All-in-one Laythe Base

[KerrMü]

These Bases are awesome!

Ok, here is mine (so far). I´ve got quite a few new ideas here.

sry, got the wrong link for the pic :/

Kepler, use the BBCode link, in the middle of the right column.
