AHI 'Helios' Solar Array

DO NOT adjust the pitch of the solar modules all at once and/or when the array is mobile (not anchored as a station)! You will almost certainly rip the array to shreds if you ignore this warning!

DO NOT adjust the pitch of any modules without sufficent power to the rotors! Failure to do so will result in a violent cascade of oscillating force that will cause the array to rip itself apart!

DO NOT attempt to move the array without the saftey locks in ALL of the rotors engaged! Failure to do so will destroy the array!

You have been warned!!

Amaterasu Heavy Industries proudly presents the 'Helios' Solar Array! Designed for permanent geo-stationary orbit of any and all planetary bodies, the AHI 'Helios' Solar Array is capable of servicing a wide variety of space faring vessel of any size, any class. Whether your ship is nuclear powered or 100% green you will not have to worry about low power as long as this station is in orbit of your local base of operations.

Are you trying to stockpile uranium?
Or are you just trying to stretch out your nuclear stockpile?
If you are then worry no more because Amaterasu Heavy Industries has you taken care of!

Specifications:

• 100% vanilla (no mods).
• 100% modular construction ready 24/7 for on-demand modifications and/or maintenance as needed.
• Nine independent docking pylons capable of accommodating any class of ship for total recharge and resupply of life support pods.
• Mass: 10,011,010 Kg
• Power: 576 solar panels /w upto 69.12 MW generation. 1152 Batteries /w upto 3.456 GW storage, upto 13.824 GW output for fast recharge.
• Oxygen: 2,400,000 L of oxygen storage /w 16 oxygen farms for continuous resupply per. docking pylon.
• Designed for stationary orbit (no thruster package included). *

* Maneuvering modules are 100% optional. This station is capable of accepting thruster modules if needed at any time, however.

Important Information:

• Solar panels and oxygen farms are by default disabled in order to prevent loading lag. Please switch them on as needed after the array has been loaded/built.
• Solar modules are by default postioned at 60° and can be adjusted to 90° for direct sunlight. I would recommend attaching thruster modules for repositioning as needed though, even better if automated by script.
• Individual modules and thruster packages are coming next along with any tweaks/modifications that may be needed!

• DO NOT adjust the pitch of the solar modules all at once and/or when the array is mobile (not anchored as a station)! You will almost certainly rip the array to shreds if you ignore this warning! You have been warned!!
• DO NOT adjust the pitch of any modules without sufficent power to the rotors! Failure to do so will result in a cascade of violent vibrations that will cause the array to rip itself apart! You have been warned!!
• DO NOT attempt to move the array without the saftey locks in ALL of the rotors engaged! Failure to do so will destroy the array! You have been warned!!
