Build the Biggest Space Station

[trbinsc]

A simple challenge really, just build the biggest space station. Use this to measure it. All parts are allowed, even cheat parts such as this.

Leaderboards

1. Barayas - Kerbin Conclave - 52m x 52m x 42m

2. NovaSilisko - B.A.S.S - 46m x 46m x 35.5m

3. randyrules711 - Universia Sky - 12m x 21m x 12m

4. Gabyalufix - The Centrifudge - 20m x 20m x 4m

5. kevinlacht - KSS1 - 2m x 10m x 2m

Can you give me some measurements?

[kernimalcross]

Ooh this sounds interesting. Ill give it a shot tomorrow. Quick question though, how big where your launch vehicles?

Wait... what? HOW? Is Docking in place and nobody bothered to call me?

Grumble...

How on earth did you balance that thing on top of a rocket?

I didn\'t.

In the opening post I said you could use cheats to get it into orbit.

So where does that get me, trbinsc?

[trbinsc]

You didn\'t measure it.

np_heavystrut is my best friend.

The centrifudge. 20m by 20m by 4m.

Farside II was briefly a space station, before I sent it to land on the mun.

[WIP] Kerbin conclave

The arms are 25m long, for a diameter of 52 meters. Central tower height of 42m. Powered by 2 3m nuclear reactor in the center with a total of 244 2m hab modules. 72 fully rotation railguns, 36 on each side of the disk. Don\'t mind the space debris, the station is perfectly stable. Getting it into orbit is the tricky part.

Where\'s the fun if you have to use cheat parts to get it into Orbit

Sadly there is no orbital vab currently, and idealistically you would never launch a whole station from the ground to start with. Here\'s one that was launched atop a stack, sort of a prototype for the conclave.

I assume you used an instant orbiter, right? Right?

_{. . . . Right?}

Atlantis?

[NovaSilisko]

I\'m coming for you

[gabyalufix]

Woohoo! Concrete photographic evidence that nova has downloaded my pack.

Checking that off my life list.

My life list is a very odd document.

Meet BASS: either Big Ass Space Station or Big Awesome Space Station depending on your cursing preferences.

Launch is completely legit, only CFG editing is the 7x symmetry habitation module (which weighs 25 tonnes)

I will try to measure it soon.

Edit: 46m x 46m x 35.5m counting solar panels, 22m x 22m x 35.5m without. Counting the launch stage, it\'s 55m tall.

Also, no RCS or ASAS or SAS of any kind, if that counts for anything.

GODS OF KOBOL! What the-- I-- You--

I don\'t even . . .

Mein Gott. I have no words. All I can do is giggle uproariously.

My mind, it is blown.

[chickenplucker]

Wow, those are some beautifully constructed monstrosities. How are you guys getting your VAB cameras so far back? I always end up trying to jam things on the little bit of surfaces that I can see, or shuffling the whole rocket off the center of the room to view it all.
