Hi! Here’s my first attempt at some Deepspace like Space Station, that’s why Mk1 is about. Anyway, the small story behind this station is that on every single space station I saw on KSP forums, steam workshop, here etc. I noticed a lack of emergency escape pods. I mean, yeah they have habitation modules, colonization modules etc, but they are not equipped with anything that will let at least someone to escape from station while no craft is docked.

– Here is where I present you my DeepSpace Mk1 – equipped with 12 escape pods, including AI, batteries, solar panel, parachute, shield, antenna and of course, engine.

As I mentioned it before, it’s my first attempt at this advanced orbital construction, so probably I will update this concept in a future with more logical structure positioning.

Basically I divided this station in 5 parts.

Top: General view parts for vip/administration/control crew with dedicated escape pods and docking ports.
Habitat: Living quarters with cupola for tourists and oxigene module.
Labs: Well… Labs and relays plus escape pods in between habitat modules.
Another Habitat: Dedicated for engineers.
Stuff: Required stuff like batteries and solar panels plus something something that looks good and more docking ports!

Every part can be lifted in stages.

In a future I plan to add more survival style modules, more escaped pods in different shapes, shield on top of all instead of cupola, directional engines, main engine, and
something else if comes in mind.
I also plan to modify the way escape pods are attached so the station can be refilled on already used escape pod’s slots.
Hope you will enjoy this silly concept.
