I decided to make a Starship derived nuclear ship akin to the Nautilus, albeit LOOOOOOONG. Also yes it's literally the retarded starship train i had from long ago but i decided to try thinking more long term about this. Make additions and modifications as needed.

Just use pacman starships to eat the old modules and place tougher modules on the P-truss. You could even turn it into a ferry of sorts.

With these, my retarded Starship Train could actually work with more than one attached module.

This dumb thing I designed may be the solution to radiation issues Starship may have. The idea is to launch the mothership itself into orbit, assemble the modules via payload starships, and have crew starships deliver crew, and more importantly, equipment to block out radiation.
You could have Dragon capsules docked on the sides of the ship. Maybe even mount weaponry on the trusses, I don't know.

If it involves a crew, here's my retarded idea from a few threads back but more sophisticated.
>18m starship with decoupler between the habitable fairing and tanks goes into orbit
>SpaceX made inflatable sections and trusses are brought into orbit by cargo 18m starships
>modified 18m decouples and docks with the stacked inflatable sections
>inflatable sections inflate and trusses are added to keep the ship from wobbling badly
>9m crewed starships dock and bring people into the mothership
>the mothership goes to a different planet
>9m starships take a few people and detach from mothership to land on said planet

They're still working, but have been abandoned. What a shame, they seem like pretty cool craft.

Using your image, I finally bullshitted the concept I kept sperging over. Behold, the Space Force's Starship Battleship idea.
It provides:
>jobs for former Bigelow engineers
>more living space
>more cargo space
>ooohs and aaaahs
>an orbital HQ that can be easily transported
>temporary fuel depot
>military attack vehicle
Any thoughts?
