Overview[]
Base Placer Station (called BPS) is a colonisation vessel that is extremely long to counteract the gravity of the planets it encounters
Construction[]
Initial prototype[]
The original design is a bare minimum, it has an arm length of 11 corridors , it also features a two-way ion propulsion core with few habitation modules and basic station maintenance utilities , it also features a transit system with a station module travelling from the main station to the end of the arm.
Phase 2[]
The prototype was tested at Enceladus (ENC) to test its capabilities , but the station cannot lower the lander down to the surface, multiple launches are used to lift more modules to expand the arm to 16 corridors and upgrade the station storage
Service[]
Enceladus (ENC)[]
In total, 2 test payloads each consisting of a LK lander and a habitation module, the first was lowered at a straight position, it tipped over because it has zero velocity, the second one was positioned sideways to make up for rotation and was successfully placed.
Purple(PUR)[]
the Station was moved to a position near home(HOM) where it will receive payloads for a full space outpost with a servicing station. After that, the station was moved to Purple to place the outpost
Firstly, a habitation module was lowered onto the surface, then , a station module was lowered onto the surface, But it was more convenient using ATVs to lower modules onto the surface, the lunar modules landed by themselves.
Yellow(YEL)[]
While descending onto purple, the station slightly embedded itself into the planet, this normally would destroy the station, so the station moved to Yellow to see if the station can pass through the ring in Yellow that would normally destroy spacecraft.
Surprisingly, the station stood up to it and passed through the ring, it then retracted and loaded an crew capsule on a LK lander on the arm and lowered it
Disappointingly, the lander immediately ejected itself from the planet with the fastest speed and exploded. A lunar lander was also tested, but it also met the same fate, currently the station was located near yellow.
