BFB - Large Dockable Battery / Xenon Gas Storage

[RPGsquirrel]

The BFB

If you're just too lazy to make a nice looking battery or a good xenon gas storage apparatus for your space station, the BFB will surely meet your expectations. With 56,030 Electric charge, and 22,400 Xenon Gas, it has impressive banking capabilities. Being a battery, it is unmanned, but also unfortunately does not have any power source (A battery that generates it's own power?) Luckily, the BFB is equipped with the Clamp-o-tron Sr., and the regular Clamp-o-tron, for any space station, münbase, or rendezvous necessities.

Mods used:

- B9 Aerospace

- Lack Luster Labs

Standard View

With The Red Lights

Docking Lights (The picture is a bit buggy)

A few minor issues:

- Unfortunately, due to it's banking abilities, it also clocks at around 200 parts. This may be problematic for performance if used with a space station, especially on lower-end computers.

- There isn't any RCS, so docking to anything won't be possible unless you yourself add RCS and RCS Ports.

- This isn't much of an issue, but the red ornery lights are not set to an action group. This means that all lights, docking lights included, turn on. However, the docking lights are set to an action group, and can be turned off rather easily, so it's not much of an issue.

Looks good!

As for the 'no power of its own' issue, have you considered mounting just one (or two, fore and aft) of the small fixed solar panels to each side, as a trickle charger / back-up?

you can always use the Nukemod (search it on space port) Hall Effect RCS thrusters (practicly ion-thrusters, they use xenon and electricity)
