Construction In Orbit

[hschembri]

First of all well done for the game. It is cool and spent hours / days already playing.

Something that is definitely missing in the game is the ability to construct objects in orbit and I mean literally construct them in orbit. What would be great after setting up a space station to support the construction of objects in orbit, to select a template of construction and than see the Kerbals construct the object in orbit depending on the resources available on the station which would be great.

What would be ingredients to make this work would be:

1. Having a construction module connected to orbiting station.

2. Storage for resources required for the construction of the object.

3. Kerbals.

What would be also great automation of transferring of resources to the station i.e. on earth one would construct a space ship to transport the resources, and following that schedule numerous launches to send the resources with automatic docking.

This would diverge the game into a form of strategy and management perspective.

Unfortunately, orbital construction is on the what not to suggest list, due to being suggested so many times. The developers are aware of the community's want for this, and if I recall correctly have shared some thoughts about how something like this would work in the long term future of the game.

But since this is on the what not to suggest list, thread locked. Have a nice day.

(On a side note, there is a mod for orbital construction)
