Description
Collection of semi-realistic ships, rovers and stations to fit a thematic universe where Apophis meteor impacts the earth against all odds, spurring a new era of space exploration and colonization to mitigate threat of extinction of human race.

These builds will be vanilla + DLC, no mods, built in a manner that makes them plausible for near future space engineers and above all survival ready! This means no wacky superfortresses or warfare or any crazy huge contraptions on planets. Most colonization will be on small habitats and orbital platforms.

Unashamedly inspired by Alpha-05's builds of similar nature. You should totally check his series out too!

If you have suggestions for future builds, let me know! Always on the hunt for ideas :)

Aurora modular hab
