Question What is the largest ship created for Orbiter?

[statisticsnerd]

Just wondering....

I guess some form of Death Star, i.e. [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3743"]Death Star II(Beta)[/ame]

If you count literally any VESSEL class object, then Orulex terrain is essentially a planet-sized vessel. Can't go bigger than that - my attempts at making a ringworld failed into Z-clipping walls.

If you disregard spacecraft from major science fiction franchises, and anything attached to the ground, then there's this [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4581"]O'Neill Island 3 colony[/ame].

What about this? [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1891"]Space Elevator, release 4[/ame]

 

[Pipcard]

What about this? Space Elevator, release 4

Oh yeah, can't forget about that!

Yea, but that's kinda several vessels stuck together isn't it?

 

[Artlav]

Hm, we need to define "large".
By bulk, Death Star wins, being essentially a moon.
O'Neill Island 3 colony is 50 km long, while DS is 72 km in diameter, so it's smaller.

The Space Elevator beats both by being over 40000km long, but by bulk it's quite tiny.

So, the Death Star rules them all

The space elevator is more an infrastructure than a spaceship...

 

[Izack]

Could you not simply...

ClassName = BigAssMcHugeShip
Size = 1e70
Mass = 1e70

?

 

[N_Molson]

Wait, I have an idea...

Edit : Hehe it seems Orbiter has its limits...

Did you just try what I think you just tried? :lol:

 

[N_Molson]

Did you just try what I think you just tried?

Probably, yes :lol:

Well, yes but I was cheating because orbiter considers pretty much everything a vessel. :lol:

 

[goaowonk]

Define vessel :3

 

[n122vu]

If we're talking ships with substance - bulk structure, as well as size, then the Explorer/Cortez, at 6km long, is up there on the list somewhere. Granted, a lot of that length is steel trusses, but not nearly as 'flimsy' as, say, the space elevator.

By bulk, Death Star wins, being essentially a moon.

Thank you

That's no moon, it's a space station!

 

[Loru]

Those are not vessels you're looking for.

350 kilometers long Shuttle-A. Atlantis is quite far away. And yes, you can easily see it from the Earth surface :lol:
