Omega - Mass Effect 2/3

[Remkeau]

Hi guys,

The last few days I've spent quite a bit of time to recreate Omega from the Mass Effect series, as the ARM update contained all the good stuff needed for this! Alas, I felt like I should share this with the community that has inspired me for so many other things in KSP.

After collecting a ~3000 ton E-class in an orbit around Kerbin I designed Omega to be shot up in 2 seperate parts:

Part 1: Connects to the asteroid with a Klaw. 1128 parts and 2935 ton prelaunch, 971 parts and 248 ton in orbit.

Part 2: Extension with living space (room for 122 kerbals) and (empty) fuel tanks. 472 parts and 3111 ton prelaunch, 280 parts and 487 ton in orbit.

Part 1 was pushed into place using a tug, while part 2 performed a rendezvous and docking on its own power. The part count lag was as you might understand quite horrible, but a bucket full of patience (and loads of RCS) helps a lot.

The finished product weighs in at a whopping 4041 ton (Asteroid included), with a part count of 1252 and a usefulness of 0.

If anyone else wants to recreate or just check out this behemoth I can upload the .craft files somewhere.

Also, if anyone feels like seeing all the explosive fails from launching this thing, I can add another imgur album.

Disclaimer:

Includes part count lag.

SSV Normandy and commander Shepard sold seperately.

That's pretty amazing!

... but oh god, think of the Kerbal dancers! O.o

That is on another level to most things I've seen in this game!

At first I thought "neat". Then I saw the kerbal and realized it was a class E. Whoah.

I think Aria wouldn't mind them
