Stock Mir space station replica

[SpaceXray]

Mir has always fascinated me as a space station. It was the very first properly modular space station. I thought

it would be nice to have one in KSP. Not everyone wants to install mods just for a space station, right? And I didn't really like the replicas I have seen because they had very few detail or had too much parts. So I made a compromise between quality and part count. Behold, the Mir space station!

The station consists of 6 parts:

Core module

Kvant-1

Kvant-2

Kristall

Spektr

Priroda

Here is a good link to a detailed 3D view of Mir to guide you during construction: http://www.russianspaceweb.com/mir.html

Hope you like the pack! Also, the fully assembled station is ~500 parts and all of the components come with Duna capable launchers. If you have a good PC, you'll get around 15-30 FPS with the thing fully assembled.

Action groups:

1-Toggle panels

2-Toggle antennas

8-Science!

Thanks to HellBlazer for the front art!

Awesome stuff! You made me realize I need a MIR again too

[Majorjim!]

Nice Mir SpaceXray!

You've captured the shape of Mir with what looks like a low part count too!

Good job!

Thanks!

Soon:

whoa .... it's like my station

Awesome work! I think you found the perfect spot between part count and accuracy.

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Mir is my fav station, I even used it as a topic in my exam in russian lol, and of all the other topics(like chocolate, trip to the lands of Kent and Famous YouTubers) mine was the most "appropriate" for my age according to the examinators

So I felt I had to give some praise to Mir.

Reminds me dearly of iDan's mir around Duna that used insane amounts of part clipping

[Kartoffelkuchen]

Fantastic replica! You are right, most replicas haven't got any details and the replicas with many details have a too high part count -.-500 Parts is still a lot, but its better than over 800 Parts. I will download it and have a look

[SpaceXray]

On my machine, 500 part Mir runs mostly smoothly even on max settings. I'd say around 20 FPS, which is bearable.

You can also set the max delta physics time frame to 0.04 It will make things smoother, but responsiveness will be slower.

oarum, iDan gave me the first 3 modules so I had something to work with and then I just continued on the project.

had to do it for him since he can no longer post on the forum for very obvious reasons.
