Modular Construction Kit
From FreeSpace Wiki
The Modular Construction Kit is a series of models designed to be docked together in FRED to produce larger structures, or to be added to existing models to add an addition level of detail or functionality.
Components
Currently, the kit contains the following pieces:
- A single girder "cell", for connecting other girders together.
- A five-cell girder.
- An eleven-cell girder.
- A blank cap-plate for ending girders.
- A docking ring.
- A larger docking pad.
- A six way girder connector.
- An umbilical linking tube.
- A cylindircal gas tank, with a set of "habitation pod"textures.
- A cargo docking platform.
Current Status
The second generation of the kit has been released, and is awaiting community consultation prior to further development. Planned future additions include a longer girder (23 cells), more diverse habitation modules, and an inner-tube system for moving people through girders.
