Station Olympus 1 Online!

[Tassyr]

So, it's taken forever- but now, thanks to the new overhaul of the engine...

Olympus is online! Six flights, six modules!

Now all I need to do is create a soyuz analogue...

Nice, you've got yourself a good Mir analogue there. I can't wait to finish my current game in .22, those science modules look so useful.

Thanks What other modules do you think I should add? I'm considering running up some fuel tanks, but... eh? XD

Yeah off the top of my head I think a general resources module would be good, rocket fuel, rcs fuel, xenon, aviation fuel if required. Also an orbital tug perhaps?

[Tassyr]

An orbital tug? I just realised I don't think I've ever made one...

[DunaRocketeer]

They can be useful if you're doing a lot of orbital construction. For example, if you're making an interplanetary craft in orbit, each component needs to be independently pilotable, which adds weight and complexity. But if you've got a tug, you don't need as many rcs's, engines, probe cores etc.

See I usually just build that into the Ascent module. I have a sort of reusable, de-orbit-able (is that a word?) subassembly for three different sizes. XD

Ahh, yes that would be simpler
