The KSP Forums Space Station Project (Let's build a space station!)

[DisarmingBaton5]

I can build a spaceplane for looks. Or anything else if needed

[Vanamonde]

Since there are several threads of this sort now, we've had to make a policy decision so that they will be handled consistently. From now on, if you're working on a joint project which doesn't involve offering craft files to non-members (because those belong in Rocket Builders), the thread should go here, in Forum Games. Please feel free to continue the thread/project in this new home.

I've got a neat idea for an observation module; count me in!

here is Dakota's defense module.

I believe Dakota did log his module, but the images didn't show. I will contact him about that. Thanks, nonetheless, ZodiaK!

Just Finished my Defense module!!!

Is there any chance that I can put up another module?

[bobcook]

The new residency module has arrived at our station! This lets us expand the number of staff and visitors. There is also a place for the poor Kerbals to hide when Jeb starts to do science.

lookin good, bobcook!

It's a shame I didn't grab more screenshots when I brought the lifeboats up. I did find this one though:

any station I put in orbit thats more than 80 parts puts me around 15 fps even though I got 16 Gb (yes i know ksp is 32 bit, i had less than 4 Gb before)

Thanks! This is the first time I've participated in a community build, it was lots of fun, will probably sign up for another station build at some point.

I expect this is more of a CPU/GPU issue than memory issue. The software will need to recompute and repaint the scene frequently. Nothing happens infinitely fast. More parts = more work for the CPU/GPU = slower frame rate.

My internet's down for the night (late payment ) so I won't get to the save until tomorrow, but I'll build a module tonight. What altitude is the station at?

[bobcook]

What altitude is the station at?

Approximately 325 km.

[ICrashRockets]

I forgot that the altitude is no longer shown in the first post's images. I will have to fix that tomorrow. (it's 11:00 where I am)

Here's my module, a communications shack with an excellent "overview" of the station in IVA.

I went ahead and did a second launch, just to grab some screenshots of an identical flight.

Highlad is not submitting. He has 24 hours before the file will be passed on!

[Highlad]

Lol, I am still going to submit a craft

The design that I was going to use had almost 200 parts... so yeah... lots of redesigning...

[Highlad]

Right Here is my module!

A solar 'Slab' as I like to call it!

My initial design was overkill at its finest, so I stripped it down to this.

And here is the updated save file

[NecroBones]

Looking good!

[ZodiaK]

...wow my kod

[ICrashRockets]

Jodo didn't add a module in 4 days, so it is being moved on to WJDUbs

[DisarmingBaton5]

My turn now, I guess. Prepare to be amazed!

DISCLAIMER: Amazement not guaranteed.

EDIT: Are claws allowed in place of docking ports on our crafts? (To attach to the station)

I don't see why not. As long as it follows the other rules.
