I like how I was searching for really strong airbrakes, but somehow found this.

OK 3 then. So what you want to do first is put the ship in orbit. Is there a nuclear power option. In space, weight don't matter. One thing is clear to me. You must hit around 42rpm for it to work. Use reaction wheels. You want to stop spinning very slowly because of inertia. That ship stops quickly, bam! Blender!

@denialofservice yes, the struts are rather strong though.

@denialofservice i actually already built the support beams like 1 hour and 30 minutes ago, it was 3, i can't fix it now cause of how difficult it was, i'll just have to strut the heck out of this, also, what method of propulsion should this use? Reaction wheels(Powered by an easily renewable resource; electricity. Hard to slow down. 1 speed. Drains power faster than solar panels can generate.) or thrusters(Adjustable speed. Easier to slow down. Higher acceleration, can allow for a safe gravitational simulation to start quicker. Slightly operational with no electric power. Faster. Uses a difficult resource to replenish. Could apply unwanted G-forces when slowing down if astrobatic pilot isn't paying attention, can be solved with hireing a well-trained astrobatic pilot. Bulky, not a big issue. Propellant is heavier.)

@bjac0 to hold the ring in?

@denialofservice ok

@bjac0 6

@denialofservice how many support rods should i use on this? 3 or 6?

@bjac0 alright, imma go work on something. If it does nothing, let me know

@denialofservice ok, i'll try that!

@bjac0 OK ,@bjac0 decrease it's radius by half, and have it spin at 42rpm. The g forces should stay the same, but the craft SHOULD be much more stable.

@denialofservice the radius is about 1 km and there is a peice of equipment in game that allows you to see how mich g-forces are being exerted on it,

@bjac0 OK good, what is the radius? Oh, and is there a way to know how much gravity is acting on the ship at any given time?

@denialofservice it spins at about 3rpm(it doesn't have to spin very fast due to its radius)

@bjac0 if this doesn't work, all I can tell you is to experiment with different speeds and distances between the craft.

@bjac0 yes, it does need to spin faster like this, but how fast does it spin right now?

@denialofservice i can, but it would make it so the craft had to spin faster to make enough g forces to notice.

@bjac0 so you can't put the rings closer?

@denialofservice the craft has 5 reaction wheels within the middle, all of which are capable of SAS controls, the craft also has 3 large solar panels and 6 smaller solar panels.

@bjac0 OK, as I see it, the craft has no gyroscopic capabilities, so it will wobble no matter what. But, there is a way to reduce the wobble. Try puting the ring closer to the ship. That way the ship will spin faster.

@denialofservice no, due to ksp have odd physics, the ring would float through the axal if i used timewarp.

@bjac0 does the ring spin separate from the ship?

@denialofservice yeah, its gonna be aproximatly 2 miles from one side to the other, although, i've beening having an issue where if something is on the ring while its spinning, it makes the craft wobble, and i need to figure out how to autonomously move a weight around the ring to counteract the wobble.

@bjac0 sick, if I had a computer, I would check that thing out for sure.as long as the computer wasn't garbage..

@denialofservice i'll have to check those out, i'm also working on something rather large, but its in ksp, its gonna be a ring station that can spin fast enough to operate a rover on the ring.
