  1. No, that's not what I meant. I just think that people should be in charge of promoting their own stuff, is all.
  2. You know other people are able to post threads as well, right?
  3. It appears you have been using someone else's parts and coloring them differently, and passing them off as a mod. Tsk tsk.
  4. Introducing the Orbitech Waterbug Mark I Have you ever thought that traditional rovers were too slow? Traditional planes too plain? Traditional boats too water-bound? Then this ship is for you! The Waterbug is a extremely versatile sport craft, capable of exploring all three environments found on Kerbin. It has a top speed of 55 m/s on land, 65 m/s in air, and 38 m/s in water. The wing panels on the side provide some body lift, reducing the pressure exerted on the ground, and therefore the friction it applies. The flight ability is not recommended for extended use. It can be used to jump over obstacles, but it tends to lose a bit of stability if you fly it for too long. Flies fine in stock drag, don't worry. Reaching up to 38 m/s in water, it's actually practical for long distance sea travel. The quad engines output massive thrust, and it consumes absolutely no fuel. Plus, the radioactive by-products in the RTGs are completely legal, as long as you're within international waters. Just don't eat any fish you catch in the immediate vicinity. Instructions: -Press T-Decouple all propellers-Rev up each propeller with ALT and Q or E, depending on the direction of movement.-Disable SAS on ONE propeller on each side-Wait until it reaches the water-Press G-Deactivate SAS on remaining propellers (Use [ and ])-Profit!

  5. Turboprops are actually pretty fun to make. This testbed plane uses 64 juno pushers inside a hybrid bearing design. I wonder if a hybrid turboprop-electric engine would work. Electric engines push the plane to a high altitude, then the windmill jets give it more speed.
  6. The twin-engine high altitude passenger plane appears to be the way to go. Capable of reaching 85 m/s at peak altitude (5 km up), it can deliver Kerbals to any location on any atmospheric body. Even the best jets can't say that much.
  7. So, basically you have to lug around an orange tank? Seems pretty boring to be honest.
  8. My newest creation: A super-heavy plane using a special Davis Wing. Extremely inefficient and slower than a Honda Civic, but still cool.
  9. If I were you I'd probably wait until I have more than 5 posts to yell at other people.
  10. Hmm, this does seem a bit incongruous. I'm guessing it was made in 1.0.5 because of the ramjet textures and the old wheel texture.
  11. This craft appears to be around 2 years old, based on the grass color and the old landing gear.
