For starters i dont see any engines in that list

that's enough to launch to orbit with...expand from there, using the shuttlebay to drop off materials...the chemfuel power generator won't do a ton, tho it will help, might wanna replace it and the 3 batteries with a capcitor from the current ship, make sure you got some ship solar panels in place of walls as well...oh, and the biggest thing yer missing

a heater or 4..space is cold, and with no vents that can be placed instead/on walls, yer gonna need a heater per room at least, more of it's bigger/has an airlock touching space..don't forget a radiator for yer freezer

basicly, the first picture in the screenshots for SoS2? that's a decent idea on what to launch to space with, tossing up via shuttle stuff you need, eventually turn yer ship into a full sized base, only having a groundside base to supply you with materials(mostly steel, that is hardest to find in space)

I'd recommend you use the Capacitor Array (One for the jump, one for general use) instead of regular batteries. Add in a Ship AI, pretty useful as it will scan for orbital quest sites automatically (you'll need it also when you want to jump to other planets).
A growing area would be nice also with hydroponics. You won't be able to jump to other planets until you find a JohnTanaka Drive so your ship will be sitting up in orbit for a while. They'd be good source of chemfuel also if the InfiChemReactor don't make enough for you.
I'd also recommend having at least two shuttle bays. You can use SRTS ships if you want and can land them on shuttle bays but you'd need an unroofed area to launch them from your ship.
Also turrets. Your ship won't get raided unless you go to one of the orbital sites but future updates might (or will) change this (ship to ship combat is one of the things the author is planning on adding to the mod).
There's also an issue with faction pawns on new worlds so you might wanna not jump to a different planet until it gets fixed.

Oh, sorry, I got 2 engines :)

Ah, the mod page made it sound like the opposite was a problem!
I'll make a Capacitator Array in the first room I build then, I've used up all my space for now :p

I was squinting at the first picture, but with all the stuff lying on the ground it wasn't very informative :(

Hmm... I'll try to have some internal defenses, and maybe some cannons if resources permit, then. Just for future endeavours.
And yeah, I was gonna make hydroponics my first room, but I'm moving it down the list :)

Thanks all for the help! I feel confident in going to space now!

You've probably figured it all out by now but Storage mods and Over-Wall coolers/vents (for the vents mostly) are a godsend in SOS2, I personally haven't gotten the SRTS ships to work (too short of range) but I've only tried the tiny fighter ones that can't even fly to an asteroid field that the shuttles could.

how did you get the over the wall stuff to work? it always tries to replace the walls for me

For temperature, I used the mod air climate control and it works quite nice.

It likely has to do with your modlist, personally I think I have SOS2 at the bottom of my order and are you making sure that you're trying to do the over-wall vents and not the vents that are a wall still? There is an option to allow them both

I'm not sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something, but I have all of the basic elements of my ship assembled, but when I look at the launch report, it says "Ship has 0 units of chemfuel, but it needs 676.

I've put 1000 units of chemfuel in a stockpile zone on the ship. Is there something else I need to do with them?

Nevermind. My stockpile zone wasn't next to the engine. Problem solved.
