DarkOwl57 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I need ideas for a fighter. I'll build it, but I need the actual plan. Needs to be either 1 engine or 2 engine, maximum of 2 crew, and have at least 800 units of fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB-70A Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 After some experiments which brings 164 sciences points it was the time to leave the North Pole. Sergei refilled the braking chutes while Steven planted a flag to the glory of the Klan. Engines started and... began the take-off roll. With less than 350 fuel available and a perfectly flat land the use of afterburner would have been crazy. We then started to climb to 9000 m, still for less consumption. Less than 40 minutes later the situation appeared to be worse than expected... having less than 8 minutes of fuel remaining to fly over the water while maintaining the altitude. It was a necessity to find an emergency terrain to land. Some of these beaches seems pretty flat from our cruising altitude. The descent was then begun. Mmmh... two braking chutes with a slow approach speed should make it possible... arrrg, just 23 units of fuel remaining! Let's initiate the approach circuit! 12 of fuel... to keep the possibility of a go-around to the front other beach we shut down one of the Panther to economize some fuel. Hopefully the craft touched not too hard... ... its chutes ensuring a fast and brutal braking. - "Are you sure they will come for us in hours?" - "I'm more than sure..." - "The Klan never gives up their Wolves".

Kerbital Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) I haven't played KSP for a while. Today, I built another big hodge-podge space station. The round, gray panels are NF panels turned into Space Dust Collectors. I've added Space Dust resource and created an ISRU to convert that into Hydrogen. I was tired of mining ore:) It's pretty much un-playable, just for-show. I get under 10fps just looking at it with AA and all lights off. Forget trying to dock something to it.

Bornholio Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 (edited) @Kerbital Where is pictures, they are lost! Gigantic stations have been abducted. I continued to test DRE specifically the HIAD (Hypersonic Inflatable Aerodynamic Decelerator) | NASA Made a 2016/2017 NASA study based mars lander/ascent vehicle using it. The DRE HIAD is currently 15m and not deflatable (yet). So 70tons slamming into Martian atmosphere with a little retro thrust to get drogues to open. A bit more to open main parachutes, and yet a bit more to land the thing after cutting all the blasted chutes. Bunch of parts come from a RO submod called RealISRU that tries to replicate more accurately the envisioned fuel making process on mars. The liquid methane NTR that delivered it had around 4kdV for mars minimal transfer and a small correction midcourse then PE adjustment entering Mars SOI. Coming into Mars interface. Entry Descent and Landing (EDL) Spoiler Refueled and ready to meet the incoming transfer vessel. Back in mars orbit 140km Album Edited June 14, 2017 by Bornholio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully ME gives you the answer. It's an annoying thing I got with a stock alike Soyuz descent module I tried to make. Offsetting three Mk1pods to make it. There was no playing or structural problems but the crew images were screwed up by this. To be back to the topic I've seen there was a lot of tadpole-like or super compact aircraft online so it gives me the desire to try. And here come the "Triton", no taxi and flights test, just a dumb concept made to see if it will fly : Roll is awesome, the pitch terrible! - Tower, this is Green Rider requesting a flyby. - Negative, Green Rider, the pattern is full. - "YEEEHAAAAAAAAaaaa" (look at his face) - "%@#$!!! This son of...!!! Wernher one of your damned flying clowns once again buzz my tower at more than 700 knots!" This pitch control is so terrible, I felt like no landing in one piece will be possible. Full reverse and everything went well! Now Steven was not aware that Werner and the Air Boss were waiting for him on the tarmac.

qzgy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 @XB-70A Yeah, I saw the response from ME. Also annoying to have that kind of problem. Guess its just a result of the game. That aircraft reminds me of a geebee air racer. Take my like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
