Really looking forward to 0.18!

Have been planning things for space station construction. Like thinking of how to assemble stuff in space.

Like launching this section up for example: With the upper docking port for the assembly craft. Then it just needs to be docked to the station. That could be the challenge of this design, might need RCS on the truss section.

[D]: Docking port
[\]: Truss
[Sp]: Solar panel
[Cm] Crew module

Code:

    [D]
[Sp][\][Sp]
    [\]
[Sp][\][Sp]
    [\]
   [Cm]
    [D]

And the assembler looking something like this from above, with the RCS on trusses for leverage in order to make handling large objects easier. (I hope)

And a docking port on top.

[RCS]: Reaction control system
[M]: Module of some sort.
[\]: Truss

Code:

          [RCS]
           [\]
           [\]
[RCS][\][\][M][\][\][RCS]
           [\]
           [\]
          [RCS]
