Description

“MPL”移動實驗室雖可加快研發科技樹，但爲了快速達到這一技術里程碑，可要犧牲其他科研發展—這就是天品公行面臨的問題。因坎巴拉人衹要有甜點便可以了，天品公行研發了 “會幕”太空站。它衹有兩個科研工作崗位，吃和睡要依賴“東盟”系列的軌道艙。

因天品公行在研發會幕時，火箭的科研不足，“會幕”比其他研究院的太空站造得較輕巧，使它能在“辛亥一五CC型”火箭上運載。

While the MPL module helped pushed technological breakthrough, reaching such milestone does require sacrifice other technological improvement, as that’s what happen with TianPin Collegiate (based in Dessert Launch Complex), who have to play some catch up. Since Kerbals are fine as long as they have snacks, the TianPin Collegiate created the barebone “HuiMu” station, which comes with only two workstations for scientist, relying on Dongmeng series orbital module for eating and sleeping.

Since TianPin Collegiate is still behind on other technological aspect – namely their rocket technology at the time the project start, the HuiMu Station is made ligthweight to enable it being launched on “Xinhai YiWCC” rocket.

Real life Notes

For a Tiangong 1 and 2 Clone, I will admit I overbuild it quite a bit - specifically the inclusion of full science apparatus section. However, should I leave it out, I feel it would be an overly simple build, since Tiangong 1 and 2 is pretty much just a lab module and a service module, which can be done in about 20 parts even with additional aesthetic parts. In addition, it will require user to bring their own science data, either from the capsule or somewhere else.

Since I expect myself to build a few other spacestations, I decide to delegate the HuiMu station as a low-techtree build (TL6). If anyone encounter issue with usign it at their career progress, let me know, and provide me your layout of TechTree. While the Advanced Exploration node is needed, others can be let go if I have sufficient info.
