Interiors/Gravity In Space Stations

[coolitic]

This is not about more IVA views. I think there should be an efficient way to make interior hallways, rooms, etc. (metal plates not very mass efficient) and I also think there should be pressurization rooms (might go with gravity generator or if we make stations have oxygen levels), some gravity generators (adjustable levels and higher levels use more power?), and another kind of docking mechanism that lets you dock 2 hallways and lets you walk through the 2 connected hallways.

Gravity generators are too unrealistic. I'd far prefer guiderails and maybe some velcro to maneuver about a space station.

Moving through parts is planned, so I'd say it's not a stretch to expect docking ports to be transversable.

id love to have better iva where you can move about and explore the interior of your ship, moving around in zero g or with centrifuges.

You tube user HOCgaming has already created a space station which generates artificial gravity using "centrifuge".

One problem in making this is that using stock KSP parts you need to have huge amount of parts for your space station so this requires prety strong computer to run at decent FPS. This could be easily solved by moding comunity in making such construction available with less parts.

Another problem is that Kerbals don't stand on such surfaces. I gues KSP does have their ability to walk around hardcoded.

And final problem is that for making kerbals to be able to walk inside such spacestatin just as on the planet you would also need to be able to simulate air resistance inside such space station.

This is a problem even on stationary vehicles on Kerbin. Kerbals won't even attempt getting up if the craft has not stopped completely. The walking mechanics needs a redesign.
