i am trying to put a space station on minmus and don't know where to start
to do list (for modules)
crew
electricity/fuel storage
solar panels
some sort of movement

#

do i start with a crew module

#

also i would need a rocket that puts a module in the sky

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

…so build one

#

i don’t see what you’re asking about

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

guidance? i guess?

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

dock shit together

#

boom

#

space station

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:14 PM

#

how much does the average module weigh

#

i have experience trying to put a science module in orbit

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

violet oriole how much does the average module weigh

build one and find out

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

hasty yacht build one and find out

not helpful

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

you’re not helpful when you only say module and nothing else

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

bro i am asking for assistance

#

"find out" is not assistance

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:15 PM

#

so give us some details????? module tells me nothing

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

i got this to minmus orbit, then mun orbit, and now kerbin orbit

#

in one launch

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

ok and

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:16 PM

#

but this isn't really a module? although it does have a docking port

#

can i use this as a basis for a space station

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

mod·ule
/ˈmäjo͞ol/
noun
each of a set of standardized parts or independent units that can be used to construct a more complex structure, such as an item of furniture or a building.

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

violet oriole can i use this as a basis for a space station

yeah

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:17 PM

#

wow no way 🤯

#

i forgor if this has a crew cabin

#

is that more important or is something else

#

also would i need to move it to minmus or can i move the whole space station

#

like

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

violet oriole i forgor if this has a crew cabin

did you even look at the picture you sent

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:18 PM

#

it has a science module

#

not a module

#

ok it's this thing

#

which can fit 2 kerbals

#

so i guess kind of a crew cabin?

#

it has a command pod too because it's on its own

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:20 PM

#

k

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

here, a question to answer
note: "ok and" is not a valid response
do i construct the space station at kerbin and move the whole thing to minmus?
or do i construct the space station at minmus

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

it doesn’t matter

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

also i haven't docked in a while, does docking fuck up staging

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

why do you need it

old zodiac Jan 12, 2023, 9:21 PM

#

Build it at kerbin the move it

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

alr

#

bet

old zodiac Jan 12, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

Unless it’s a really awkward shape

#

Ideally build the whole thing in the VAB klueless

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:22 PM

#

would i need this

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:23 PM

#

do you want it

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

hasty yacht do you want it

hasty yacht Jan 12, 2023, 9:24 PM

#

ty

violet oriole Jan 12, 2023, 9:50 PM

#

how much energy do i need

#

electricity

#

is 4k storage enough

proud steeple Jan 12, 2023, 11:23 PM

#

I enjoyed reading this very much.

#

Btw, you can add up electricity draw and determine how much power generation you need. If you have sufficient batteries, you don't necessarily need your power generation to be greater than your draw, unless you intend to max out your draw for long periods of time.

#

violet oriole is 4k storage enough

yeah probably unless you’re putting like every single science part on the station

#

honestly i would make it kinda small to reduce the number of launches

#

so put enough habitation modules for like 4-6 kerbals

violet oriole Jan 13, 2023, 1:52 AM

#

update: i literally just launched the whole space station at once

#

it was uhh

#

kinda sketchy?

limpid kindle Jan 13, 2023, 1:52 AM

#

nah

violet oriole Jan 13, 2023, 1:53 AM

#

nah what

limpid kindle Jan 13, 2023, 1:53 AM

#

you ain’t seen sketchy till you have a fairing wider than the rocket itself

violet oriole Jan 13, 2023, 1:53 AM

#

💀 i meant it snapped in half in my first 4 launches

limpid kindle Jan 13, 2023, 1:54 AM

#

put some struts like this

#

did you autostrut the parts?

violet oriole Jan 13, 2023, 1:54 AM

#

i sure did, dw on my 5thish attempt i got it in orbit

limpid kindle Jan 13, 2023, 1:54 AM

#

ah ok

violet oriole Jan 13, 2023, 1:54 AM

#

now i don't know if i have enough dv for a minmus orbit

#

i should though!

#

@limpid kindle this should be fine right

violet oriole Jan 13, 2023, 1:57 AM
