Just in time, too. Tuesday's almost over!

This thread is to discuss, praise, or gripe about the release.

Congrats!
Looks pretty sweet

Folds up nice and neat too.

Looks good for use as a deep space station too. Deploy it to some godforsaken part of the Solar System and man it with researchers.

Looks nice, mate. I especially like your work on the solar panels and truss. :speakcool:

BTW, I tried AndyMc's Jupiter III but it didn't have enough delta-V left over after LEO insertion to do a lunar transfer, so I only included a launch scenario with the Nova SSTO. Perhaps if the Jupiter III had an upper stage it might work, but the margin would be tight.

Yeah, that could be done, but you might need a bigger propulsion unit to insert it into orbit around anything bigger than the Moon. I purposely made the station and the tug seperate vessel modules for that kind of flexibility. I know what I built it for, but users always find creative things to do with addons.

Looks beautiful Andy. I will be eager to try it - on the other side of my sleep period.

Makes me wonder what's next up your sleeve.
