Overview

this is a sort of tutorial for making big space stations. if you haven't yet please do docking Rendezvous 1, docking Rendezvous 2, and Docking Is Easy tutorials before you do this one.

Chapter 1: planning

a good station starts with a plan. here are some questions to ask yourself:

  • what is the purpose of the station?(ex:fueler, tourist, resort, or other)
  • how much funds are you willing to spend on the station?
  • what orbit will this station sit in?(ex:keostatonary, polar, and equatorial)

now with these chosen you can go to drawing and/or building

chapter 2: drawing

you will draw what modules will look like and how they fit, or you can just start building.

chapter 3: building

building of the stations modules is the biggest part of the process. if it is too big of a module, the kraken may break it, but it can be fixed with struts.
