My newest stuff is the same theme as my prior 2 ships....

As I have stated prior... I am not an expert on ship building or Kerbal Space in general... Things will NOT be perfect... That said I do try my best to make things functional and look nice, so if you have any issues or comments please let me know.

The Station is a dry dock.... designed as a small station capable of assembling and repairing the new science class ships, Imagination needed...

The station will need to be placed into orbit using your preferred method, I described one way on my previous ships page. You will also need to hack gravity (alt+f12 to bring up menu) as it will fall apart on the runway... could have been avoided if I wanted to add another 100 struts to it... decided hacking gravity was much easier on me and having less parts easier on the computers. It is Sturdy in space though.

-around 550 parts

-Has 6 standard docking ports and 2 Sr Docking ports.

-Has plenty of room on station for Kerbals.

Action Groups

1 extends communication

2 toggles solar panels

Next ship is a small science vessel. Could probably be flown into orbit the normal way with lots of rockets... but I role play so I put into same orbit as station to simulate being assembled there.

-Around 200 parts

-Has plenty of science equipment for science stuff

-Nacelles can detach and act as emergency Escape Vessels (parachute landing) Just be sure to detach the 2 nuclear engines from nacelle before parachute deploys, or you will drop like a rock.

I also recommend using the Mod: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/mk3-cockpit-internals/ To make for a better view. If not your Kerbals will be staring at the wall in the unfinished stock cockpit.

Not sure of action groups at the moment though I did set them up. Its been over a week since I made the ship, so I will update page in a bit when I look.

Will probably update and add more info to page later, but for now here are the links... When on FileSmelt page Right click and hit "save as" on link. Should already be in .craft format.
