The KSP-forum station project

FYI there would be a lot more people doing this if you made it stock... mods just tend to limit the number of people.

EYUP.

I mean, mods are fine, just that the more you put in the fewer people you're going to get out. I'd draw the line at Kethane, if that. 100% stock would be fantastic.

Here's a Stock Science Core.

and a stock escape pod module if ya want it.

I had a 100% stock parts station (v0.23.5), and I used it to assemble my 'Algernon' Ion probe... but then discovered the standard Clamp-O-Tron docking ports were too weak for such a big probe (with no way to reinforce them), and I didn't have Tech enough for the Sr. docking ports, so I de-orbited the whole mess. I'll try it again, soon, as I'm not far from attaining the Sr. ports.

Like the ISS, my Kerbin station was at 350km orbit... a construction platform. My Mun station was at 100km, and Minmus station at 50km... both science platforms for short-hops back and forth to the surface.

As for the poll, where to put a station? All depends on your goal(s).

Can't spell, brain not working.

So yeah, had some computer issues. But i'm back and better than ever.

I wonder if I could be of any help. The last station I built was in 0.23.2... it was this (all-stock grand-tour ship) beast:

...what modules are needed, right now?

Habitation modules, lifters, science labs, etc...

[LaytheAerospace]

I demand a spacedock!

[Clockwork13]

Ok. As of now, you do NOT need the mods to participate, and I accept all stock modules. Kethane is to mine ore for EP, and EP is to let us construct crafts in space.

[pauldbk99]

Hmmmmmm... I should start working on some SCIENCE! modules.

[SpaceXray]

I think we should use STOCK parts only for modules. Why use mods anyway?

If someone uses a single modded part, others have to download it.

Stock is much better logistically. Only con is managing a reasonable part count.

[BagelRabbit]

Progress on my module is coming along nicely.

...and yes, it's actually practical as well: it has six RTGs for power and a seven-Kerbal capacity... and it has fewer than 140 parts, as of now!

Further details as events warrant.

[BagelRabbit]

Kerbal module is 95% done! Expect the .craft file tomorrow.

...and don't question it. Please don't question it.

You can use my lifter if you want.

Sorry, I uh... forgot about this thread...

Anyway, due to high request, I'm now undocking the Kethane module and it will be 100% stock.
