I guess some form of Death Star, i.e. [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3743"]Death Star II(Beta)[/ame]
If you count literally any VESSEL class object, then Orulex terrain is essentially a planet-sized vessel. Can't go bigger than that - my attempts at making a ringworld failed into Z-clipping walls.

If you disregard spacecraft from major science fiction franchises, and anything attached to the ground, then there's this [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4581"]O'Neill Island 3 colony[/ame].

Yea, but that's kinda several vessels stuck together isn't it?

Hm, we need to define "large".
By bulk, Death Star wins, being essentially a moon.
O'Neill Island 3 colony is 50 km long, while DS is 72 km in diameter, so it's smaller.
The Space Elevator beats both by being over 40000km long, but by bulk it's quite tiny.

Could you not simply...
?
Code:
ClassName = BigAssMcHugeShip
Size = 1e70
Mass = 1e70?

Did you just try what I think you just tried? :lol:

So, the Death Star rules them all
The space elevator is more an infrastructure than a spaceship...
Well, yes but I was cheating because orbiter considers pretty much everything a vessel. :lol:
If we're talking ships with substance - bulk structure, as well as size, then the Explorer/Cortez, at 6km long, is up there on the list somewhere. Granted, a lot of that length is steel trusses, but not nearly as 'flimsy' as, say, the space elevator. 
Thank you
That's no moon, it's a space station!
