- Since a lot of viewers asked me how I built my ring stations, I made a vid to show you exactly that :)
Video of launching it into orbit: • Operation Moonsucker E...

Intro: "Hitman" by Kevin MacLeod ( www.incompetech.com/music ) - Hry
Now I am interested how to put this in space...
Rule 1: add more boosters
No Kasel... Maor boostahs and space balls
Already did it, have to edit the video. Stay tuned ;)
dhyanais Cheats i do that for spacestations.But only if they are even bigger than this one.
+manuel Pille Hyperedit.
You should add some tiny engines, you can activate with an action group, that the station rotates.
Now the real question...
How in the world am I supposed to put this in space without breaking the game permanently
gravity = 0
Set orbit
Alt + f12
Why am I putting SRBs here? to save on part count! (Proceeds to hide SRBs under mountain of parts)
Semmarv haha yeah :) But they help with the rigidity of the construction. Less potential wobble since the radially attached parts are not the real backbone.
ShadowZone ho do I get i get it into spac3
Please hit your keyboard harder.. thats not enough!
agreed
Bubba Sparks probaly has a mechanical loud by nature
Bubba Sparks lol
Gavin Fay there is mechanical then there is smashing the button like a Viking ramming his axe into the head of his enemies this is the latter
You, my man... have my sub! Your designs and ideas are jaw dropping-ly awesome, as well as inspirational. Let me just say that you deserve a lot more subs than you currently have.
Okay so you put struts on the inside of parts. That really belongs in your tutorial on how to make cool looking spaceships.
Shadowzone I love this design keep making more creations
Thanks for making this craft available. It was exactly what I needed to make the music video I just uploaded. Cheers :)
Love the channel mate, thanks for being great!
You, sir, are awesome!!
I have no idea what half of this stuff means but it's interesting so I'm gonna keep watching!
Very nice, great tutorial!
Thanks! This really helped me with taking control of the galaxy
Awesome! Now i can finally make a massive skylaser with BDarmoury, thanks for the tutorial
LOL Crazy Stuff I have yet to master getting a Kerbal to orbit and seem to be far away from getting him back down to earth safely, and then there are people like this guy...
Eric Fisher I think that's more a maneuvering problem than a building problem because if your craft is small enough you can get to orbit with just a Kickback SRB, next time once you get to 2km altitude start gradually tilting East until your periapsis is over 60km.
Hey ShadowZone. If you want to clip the batteries inside the ring to the side you need to put symmetry mode off and hold CTRL on your keyboard. Then it snaps on it to.
Lovely video btw.. gave me tons of new ideas for the game :) Awesome
that voice change..."and it looks like its part of the spokes.. *say it does!*" lel you just earned a sub
TheGamingGamer Thanks! Glad you like what I do :)
Shadow, I saw you were having a bit of trouble ting to attach the docking port inside of the cargo bays. If you hold at while trying to attach it, the nodes magically stick together. It makes it much easier to do things like that.
WOW, NEVER Thought About Doing So !!!!!
WOW, AWESOME
Yes, it really looks nice with the ore tanks.
is it me or does he sound like bane
Logan Poppe So, what your telling me is don't die.
Bane is actually Latino in the comics.
awesome!!
it has an insane mass !
Nice work.. I just brought the full game on a special deal on stream, got the KSP main game v1.6 with the Expansion and the Making History pack with it's added Expansion all for 68% less than the two cost normally.. Stream doing a limited time deal folks so go now and get the deal. You can buy either them or together? No I not pitching it folks just telling you all in case t you wish a good deal? Anyway, This idea of the big ring station is one of the things I wish to do soon. 1st though I got to learn how to just get a orbital problem sorted? I have two brave kirbans in a stable orbit around Kerbal and they can't De-orbit as they run out of fuel. So I need to have a 2nd rescue capsule meet up in their orbit so they can transfer into the rescue capsule which has room for them and as the fuel to get them all home save! How the heck do I set up the orbital meeting? I don't have docking ports and although I got the rescue ship into a close orbit where they cross over orbits, I can't work out how to get them to get along side each other? One orbit is small bit below the other the two craft keep their long distance apart. Help anyone?
has anyone ever told you that you sound like a really calm Bane?
If your talking about Dark Knight Bane (only one I can think of right now). he doesn't. DK Bane is British, this guy sounds Scandinavian
I love it.
Cool, lol the space bar becomes the self destruct switch, or use Alt+L to lock that stage.
Awsome you are the best ksp youtuber 😜👌
Also if you put docking ports on the end of every spoke you can keep building out later.
the coolest thing in ring Space stations is the re-entry into kerbins atmosphere or the apoapsis
ShadowZone if you are having ttouble with nodes, hold the Alt button. It deactivates radial mechanics so you can only connect radialy.
if you offset each one a TINY amount vertically you can fix the annoying Z-fighting (flickering at overlaps)
Do You Have Any Tutorials On Docking Ports? I've Been Having.... Issues, Basically Whenever I Try To Dock 2 Space Station Modules , They Rotate Away From Each Other. Thanks For Making Such Awesome KSP Content!
How did add the passenger modules to the solid fuel boosters? Can't get them to connect the same way as you
IF you hold alt while connecting parts, tit will only stick to nodes, which is why you cant connect the cargo bay to the docking port
Would love to see the fairing used to launch this thing :P
clones 5 ring stations
puts them all together.
Deadmangaming it’s beautiful 😓
for symmetry why were you slamming your keyboard
probably spilt coffee, and now has a sticky key?
I made a station similar to this. then I found the warp drive mod. rebuilt it with a warp drive and I thing the space station is now OP
the reason why you were having trouble with those docking port SR's is because they weren't rotated unlike everything else, you just have to rotate them the same :)
Waow cool thx ! Amazing as always.
But... how did you get to "translation controls"? It looks pretty awesome, is it a special key or an add-on (mod)?
Dayum, I searched like... HOURS to find it, and it actually was ON THE KEYBOARD xD
Thx mate.
There are also on screen buttons.
Solid rocket boosters? Smarty pants.
Just add some rectangular crew boxes and you have the endurance.
Can you put a download in the description please?
The offset tool is OP
and the rotate tool to
Aww. I was hoping on a ring station around the entire planet. I want to make a ring around Minmus, but I'm not sure yet how to do it. I guess I can just shoot loads of modules to minmus and line them up, but I think KSP wont bent the station as it gets longer.. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time in advance.
Impossible. All the planets/moons are too big. No matter what, if you make a big rocket/station or just whatever vessel you could imagine, it would also start to lag anyway. However i've also imagined a station like this.
Also Ks0 physics can't support stuff longer 1 km
Michiel Drost the game cant handle anything bigger than 2km sonce that's the limit of the game's engine. So no space elevators either
Do a vid on getting the space station to Mars
Kian Kemp Is Minmus okay as well? I have got a plan for it ;)
in realism mod there is
Ok how do you make the tank vertical like that?
Even tho i dont understand a thing, this is still an awsome video.
223 metric tons. Whew. That's quite heavy.
Hi !
Can you make a tutorial with trick (key,building, etc ...) please ?
Hi, i'm new to your channel, and i don't know if you listed this already, but what mod do you use to have all those categories?
Enclave Soldier that is no mod. KSP offers custom part categories since... well since some time ago ;)
just press the "arrow" button on top of the categories and add your own by hitting the "+" button.
ShadowZone I had seen that, but i had no flippin' idea, thanks!
well let's try to bring that up in space XD
I wonder what kind of BEAST could possibly lift it into space!
That's easy. This one: czcams.com/video/JLCskh52fTM/video.html
Yeah, I saw it :D
What mod are you using to move parts like that in the VAB?
It's stock
How do you use the axis things. (Rotation) @ShadowZone
2:08 and 2:57 how do you do that? Is it a mod or is there a key you have to press?
each time I try to attach the spokes to the center the go through the center even though I added struts
Yea but how did you get it up into space ?
Reminds me a little of a Droid Control Ship
lol hold up how do you dock if he put the docking port for the ships into the the thrusters at 12:26
Cmon Tars
Swithin Games
Cheeky little reference in there I like it.
Its necessary
Agreed
Yousef Zidane :)
Now 15% humour setting and I find this funny.
Is the offset tool a mod or a default feature of KSP? Kinda new to KSP and can't find how to..
Denny Devil it's a stock feature since 0.90 . The icons are in the top left corner of the editor UI. Or simply press 1, 2, 3 or 4 for placememt, offset, rotation and parent part switcher.
When building Space Stations in the main hangar (The one for rockets) I sometimes run out of space to build them. I bring them up using cheats. Why is he using the space plane one? Is it bigger? I would really love to build that
The SPH is wider, but the VAB is taller
I subscribed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)
cheers
btw could you put that ring you mad efor us to download ? it would be wonderfull carring your wonderfull creation up to deep space :)
+The Gremlins Paradise sure, I put a link in the description. Generally, you can look up my profile on KerbalX, there are a lot of craft from my videos to download.
+ShadowZone Awesome much appriciated :)
+The Gremlins Paradise where are you from?
who else noticed the kerbals drifting in the background?
it does.
German engineering at it's best. Love your designs.
Which sort of program is this??
What if you accidentally hit spacebar when in orbit? Auto-destruct!
Maybe you could ditch the solid boosters and only use the other fuel tanks you added later as structures, but I don't know if it would affect the overall stability of the station
The boosters don't have any fuel in them
Eli B Indeed. And their thrust level is set to 0.
Eli B Oh, I never realized that you could set the fuel and thrust levels of solid boosters too.
Its useful to make sure their thrust to weight is correct and to change their burn time
Hey you could make station 5 from doctor who by connecting the same rings over and over again
Wouldn't the cargo have to be curved for the doors to close around it?
Drew Valentine No, because the docking ports are slightly angled and a large tank would then fit inside. The curvature of the station is not extreme enough to prevent this.
8/10, needs moar boosters
Schick!
sounds like he is trying to kill his keyboard lol
why do you smash your keyboard
Keenand al jabbar it's what I do. It's a somewhat satisfying feeling to really press down hard on a key. Plus the mic was right in front of the keyboard - may have enhanced the effect ;)
You should’ve said what keys to press each time to make whatever movement you do fluid to the viewer. Not everyone knows what to press to make it like yours.
You voice look like bane in batman rises ah ah pretty cool
imagine accidentally activating the kickback boosters
you sire are very clever
How are you gonna launch this behemoth of a space station
can you make it spin with stock parts? only the ring and not the whole station?
I really don't think so, but there is a mod that you can use, and it's a very very little mods, but add some very very very usefull part (So your PC will not lag) . It's Infernal robotics ^^ , if you want only the ring to turn, use the diocking washer part, it remove the effects of rotation, you simply put them before and after the middle part who hold the ring ^^ forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/104535-112-magic-smoke-industries-infernal-robotics-202/
Generic Name Sure you could, add some solar panels and plenty of reaction wheels, but RCS thrusters and a large tank would probably be better
There is a new way to make things go around in ksp , you should check it up
좋은 작품
4:56 looks like a bicycle wheel
Very good :)
How to let it spin or doesnt it spin
hey what mods do you have I`m curious
It looks like none
is the offset tool standard in the game? I'm new, I'm a noob
Yes, it is present in vanilla KSP
How many keyboards do you get through in a year ? Sounds like you give them a hard time lol
How do you duplicate parts
dam ur good
Use the root tool instead of a bunch of struts?
+Ethan Moore the root toll doesn't actually fortify or connect parts
it just set the centre of the craft.
Ethan Moore :P
Im gonna make a sphere out of rings
Developing a good but a little bit wrong ! It's like pieces of the space station and the spacecraft !
which can carry
how do you rotate parts in vanilla ksp?
+LanceG3_GT well excuse me for not being able to find it in game options and the game doesnt even teach you it
Q, W, E, A, S, D - rotate on 90°
Shift + ... - rotate on 5°
instead of rocket boosters you could use those Large holding tanks...just saying. anyways it's all same
can you give use the craft that would be nice thx
