Lunar Development

[Danny Batten]

I’ve been putting this off for a while so let’s get in to it.
I want to build a massive Lunar station, but instead of sending each individual part to the moon, I’ll be sending it to LEO, then I’ll push it to the Moon.
So the first part will be the core! And a energy beam
Hehe this kinda looks like the Oriental Pearl Tower in China

anyway god this thing is too overpowered for this

right the next thing will be the permanent fuel reserve.

 

[Chara-cter]

That's huge

 

[TtTOtW]

90 units charge per second... not too shabby.

Meanwhile, at the Earth SOI tracking station, Lizard Point, Cornwall...

'Sir, there's something heading to the moon, it's shaped like a...'

Haha very wise

I always build at LEO, then send the station with big Boosters.

That looks like some sort of guitar

 

[Danny Batten]

Right! This truly pushed my system to the limit, 1057.5t of fuel, (Or 1175t if you add the weight of the tank itself)

not bad, 20% left in the frontier tanks.
Fuel attached. Time for a cargo hold

 

[Danny Batten]

Now that is what I call a magic trick.
So it takes about half an hour in total to assemble send and dock one of these behemoths, and I found out that I couldn't dock as I didn't take in to account other parts. Well it speaks for itself,

 

[Danny Batten]

Right! I've gotten the final permanent fuel storage in place,

 

[Blazer Ayanami]

Good!

 

[TtTOtW]

Some impressive trickery going on there

 

[Pink]

I don't think that I could time warp that precisely myself!

 

[Danny Batten]

A better image of progress

 

[Pink]

It's huge.... And still only fuel tanks+power production at the moment?
Can't imagine how big it will be with the other stuff attached!

Yeah, haha well it’s up for debate, I don’t particularly know what to do next.
I have a rough drawing of a plan but I still don’t fully know

 

[Pink]

Well, you definitely need propulsion, landing gear, and of course cargo to make your base with.

Propulsion I already have plans for, landing gear i won’t need.
But cargo yes, I wasn’t planning on taking anything else but the station to the moon, but I can certainly take parts of a base to the moon, thank you

Lol, no you should definitely plan on landing it on the sun!

 

[Danny Batten]

Lol

 

[Danny Batten]

Well the next thing I’ve been doing is some Hab modules,

I very quickly wiped up a little craft to get them there

oh don’t you love it when you come out right next to it from time warp

right first set is up and running, about 5 more launches and I’ll have a good quantity of them

 

[Lt. Snakestrike]

You really like your SSTO's...

 

[Danny Batten]

You really like your SSTO's...

lol I swear I don’t do it on purpose, it just makes a flight easier

 

[Danny Batten]

right!

Hab Line 2 done. Time to double them up.
Then we will be moving to green spaces and Lab Sections

 

[Danny Batten]

And 3 more,

 

[Danny Batten]

Right I started on on the greenhouses. But I had to stop Development on the other side as I had an accident with a little piece of cap, so I’ll need to send a replacement
