What is the largest space station you have ever built?

[LostElement]

(It will not let me post a picture)

I have built a 5329 part space station in Minmus orbit, it likes to lag and I am still adding more to it....

Post your largest space station and see who has the biggest

*cough cough* whackjob *cough cough*

[Lojik]

Would love to see a picture

you can upload it to somewhere like imgur.com and then get the direct link for it, then use the following tags in your post

Dang. What's up with all the Whackjob-bait threads lately?

You guys are gonna rot off my right-click-paste finger.

Poor not quite finished Mk VII station

Harsh lesson about deleting parts of mods you don't think you're using there.

[Sapphire]

My station is sad compared to these...

1200 parts.

[Kerbol Prime]

5000 parts?! That would melt my computer...and maybe my brain.

[allmhuran]

Biggest in terms of size, not mass? That would my mass relay. Here's a picture towards the end of the launch (no mods, no hyperedit) which still includes some orange tanks and mainsails, otherwise it's really hard to tell just how big it is.

Second picture is the "victory photo". Took about 30 attempts to get it into orbit...

[BJ Quest]

Largest by number of occupants....

Tri-X (154 places for kerbals)

UOS (278 places for Kerbals)

Putting the UOS together http://i.imgur.com/R1ijjPM.png BJQ

USP-Core; One that I started but not built on. Got it into orbit in one piece (32+ orange tanks ,16 - large standard engines). Many ports to add to it (24 +). A potential of housing 500+ Kerbals. Moved on to building a deep explore ship out of standard parts called bucket ship.

That is very nice work, all you need now is a scale size Normandy next to it

"Space Scumbag" has already posted a very nice normandy, but it was launched via hyperedit (or debug menu options)

He also built a more accurate mass relay with the greater geometric options provided by new structural parts (I built mine several versions ago). But of course it too was unable to launch itself (wings are much lighter than structural panels!).

Very nice craft, you can find them in his thread here http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/44503-Mass-Effect-Collection-Reaper-Mass-Relay-The-Citadel

How cid you make that one with no mods? It seems to have very nice curves

[Whatshtisthis]

The largest I've built is probably the O'Neill Cylinder which have been in orbit since 0.19 or something. I really don't trust my flying skills to put things into space, maybe I'll get Mechjeb and do it.

It's just one of the advantages of building stupidly huge things, since each individual part only represents a tiny fraction of the overall shape you get much higher "resolution" on your craft.

Also, extreme patience.

[kiwi1960]

I see this thread... and I cannot but help thinking this a case of "mine is bigger than yours... look, I'll prove it....."

But then... rockets are the ultimate phallic symbol....

[Tex_NL]

Back in the good old 0.18 days I build this monstrosity in Minmus orbit. It weighed in at over 576 tons and housed 360 Kerbals. (The KSPX Cupola could hold 3 instead of the current 1.)

I planned to move it out of Kerbins SoI but it was too unstable.

[fatfluffycat]

I don't have a space station, every time I build one it goes like this

1. Send up core

2. send up another part

3. another part, but realize its stupid and think you could build a better one

4. deorbit it

5 restart at step 1

[lajoswinkler]

If the structural fuselages are 2m tall, this is more than 60m wide.

I could've used the large girders instead of the fuselages, but I wanted to achieve a robust look.

[bigdad84]

Here is mine. Due to lack of creativity, I just named it the LKO Station. It has been the biggest station that I have made since 0.18.

And then, when 0.19 introduced re-entry heat... it burned.

Nice! And now I want to see it at Tylo

[Boris_T_Roach]

Only 1 I have on offer is the KSS21

550 parts 33 max kerbal crew, current crew 10(from the 2 docked ships), 2 robotic tugs for moving small stuff around ,

length 230 meters from docking tip to the other docking tip on the solar arrays, all up weight is somewhere in the 350 tons range and took some 17 flights to assemble at a 160km LKO

Includes a SEKI reciever array built from remotetech big dishes(because I like them) and theres a mechjeb pack somewhere in there providing flight and station info.... not that it can be moved
