Description
This collection contains pure stock large motherships (no mods or DLCs) ships that meet these requirements:
Feasible in career/science mode (no cheats required): yes
size: at least 50m in any direction when complete
mass: over 150t
crew capacity: over 25 kerbals
propulsion: highly efficient rocket engines, nuclear, and/or ion
docking ports: any, but more than two available when complete
configuration: modular, stacked, or single piece (entire thing launched at once)
science: optional
Mothership type: any. science, tourist, absurdly large crew transport, etc
Examples: The Duna Mothership, S. S. Zerye, Dawn mothership, Nuclear Space Noodle ( isnt science based, but rather for tourists), Avalon stock (an absurdly large crew transport, at 303 kerbals, is also the stock version of my workshop creation Avalon )
I only have five complete ships that meet these requirements, and not only will their completed versions be here, their respective launchers will be. im going to attempt of figure out how to build a launcher for Avalon stock... maybe two sections? three?
