Ok. It's not Legman. Nope, not Chuck Norris either. Oh you guys and your guesses suck! It's me, ok, ME!

So as I am wont to do, I made a mission as close to it as possible in execution. Now, that means doing everything I would do then, but in base game. Starting with a shuttle. What a bloody surprise, right? Oh bloody hell screw you and your laughter. I'm a one trick horse. Deal with it.

Anyway, 14m wide and 35m high... Right. Hmmm how much Shuttle can I squeeze into that... Abooooout...

... yea much. 60t to orbit if I add a small booster on the roof. All in the base game build grid. Well that's it for the BGS Shuttle then. See y'all when I see y'all.





...




... Nope. Or let me rephrase. "BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE!" Ah, much more like it :)

So after that I thought, what I'd do next back then is a station. Right... Station core. And this time it's not Brumhilda :p

The core:

Well sorry for living but I decided late that I want to share it ok?! Anyway this is six launches in already, not counting the Shuttle. One for the core, one for each fuel reservoir (count them, there are two so don't ask me alright???), one for the solar array and two for two drones each (one died... testing stuff). Can't have a station without drones...

That's it for now, I'll post more in a few hours. The end result is really pretty so keep a tab on this ok?

Another five launches, and we have this:

The central access tunnel and the docking adapter arrangement. This is followed by the arrival of our shuttle.

Screenshot_20220524-124610.png

Ah, nice. Now to prepare for loading...

Screenshot_20220524-125254.png

... We've got plans ;)

Right... And the next launch is our payload. It's just fuel, but it has a purpose to serve. Up it goes!

And a snug fit. Cool. Close her up, then. Now for the access lobbies to the habitation and work areas respectively.

And finally, up goes the living quarters. Ooh pwiddy...

Screenshot_20220524-181131.png

... Wow, I like that! Speaking of which, time for a nap, so update later!

Note, inform all the base game players you know, they could be winning some of the stuff I post in this mission... ;) they'll need to identify themselves in this thread and I will after that post the requirements for the challenge and what is up for grabs as prize.

These drones are just hanging out all over the show man, and that ain't cool with me. So let's build them a garage.

Good... The extra drone can hang out in the auxiliary drone docks on the back ends of the spacecraft docking adapters. But we need more visitors withall that hab space... Well one more shuttle coming up!

And ready for loading. I like busy stations :)...

As you can see, guel is not something we have in great reserve. We need another tank or two.
Screenshot_20220524-192328.png

Out comes the thoroughly refreshed drone...
Screenshot_20220524-192845.png

Deorbits the empty tanks...
Screenshot_20220524-200546.png

And one fresh reserve is installed. For now that's ok, we'll upgrade soon.

A bit more fuel...
Screenshot_20220524-194541.png

And then the permanent and proper sized propellant storage facility goes up.
Screenshot_20220524-204530.png
Screenshot_20220524-211126.png

Interesting shape. Workable though. That is the central section. The outer pair goes up next, followed by the mounting frame incorporating the feed line to the station's fuel outlets.

Screenshot_20220524-214223.png
Screenshot_20220524-224547.png

That pipes's shuttle feed line was one section too long. Well, these drones need to work.
Screenshot_20220524-225555.png

This guy sacrificed itself for the good of the station. Awesome little machine. Modified that pipe as perfectly as could be hoped for. Drift in peace little drone...
Screenshot_20220524-230219.png

And a perfect fit! Now to put the reserves back...
Screenshot_20220524-230935.png

Nice. One more set of tanks coming up.
Screenshot_20220525-102854.png

All in all, not a bad day's work. Now to fill these reserves up.
Screenshot_20220525-110937.png

A few trips for sure, but these are a few worthwhile trips, to be clear.
Screenshot_20220525-123702.png
Screenshot_20220525-124631.png

This here is the mess hall. Keep it clean, or else... Lol Ivan is on duty, and if Rhea is anything to go by, they're in for some surprises in their meals! Keep those smiles ready, people, or you don't eat at all...

The illegitimate child of Need and Desperation.

... Ironically, it is the construction bay head. Looks poorly constructed to me...

... Anyway, it went up. No, not in flames. You funny bunnies...

Screenshot_20220525-171130.png

Well that's a tight fit. The other half of the garage enclosure had a hissy fit though.

Now the station won't look like a FrankenStation... Crisis averted (seven balls aside, but we don't talk about that, now do we? ;) )
I'm really sorry people, I don't mean to scar you for life or anything... Ok the next one is less mutated at least. Construction bay frames:

Actually, the June competition is what I've been hoping to see come out. For base game players only. DLC owners get a different prize.
