Kerminator K-100

Well I thought this was implied but I've added this to the bottom "Also in case you haven't figured it out, this is a satire of Starship replicas. I feel like people are overdoing it on the replicas and I thought this would be a humorous tutorial poking fun at the simplicity of the design. No offense meant to people who work hard on making replicas, they are super cool." I wasn't trying to make a perfect tutorial, just a quick bit of satire, poking fun at how easy I thought a very simplified replica was to make.

No cheats I'm guessing you will be doing the hermes? If so, you need to be able to go that speed with the aircraft and have the ability to land (it doesn't have to though)

If you'd like to know how to make custom interiors, I'll help you out a bit in this post. You can make a catwalk by placing the smallest structural panel in a line and clipping the big ladders into the wall This either makes a nice walkway, a balcony, or an industrial catwalk. Here's Jeb enjoying the view. And you can also make an engine room for a huge rover, or a base, by using the large convertatrons as the engines and the catwalk as a walkway.

In this guide I will teach you how to make a Starship replica. First place a probe core and construct a fairing around it Now make it silver Place fuel tanks (this provides fuel and structure for the fins) And now time for fins. Big ones on the bottom, small ones on top Add 3 mastodon engines, This makes it able to achieve orbit, and looks like a Raptor And now you just need to name it! If you want better control you can add RTGs, reaction wheels, batteries, etc... Now its time to launch! Wenhop? Hop now And the most important part of any starship replica? Answer in spoiler I hope you managed to make a cool looking starship replica, please share them below so I can see Also in case you haven't figured it out, this is a satire of Starship replicas. I feel like people are overdoing it on the replicas and I thought this would be a humorous tutorial poking fun at the simplicity of the design.

So only Pol and Eeloo are left?

The updates usually have a few revamps. Maybe Pol and Bop will be included

I was going up to minmus orbit and plunging down. I thought that was the best way to take advantage of Kerbin's gravity well. Maybe a orbit might be better?

Sorry about Gif bombing, I was just excited. I'll try to keep it in mind when I comment.

yeah the F3 menu messes up, you have to do a quicksave and quickload to get it to acknowledge your speed. I've tried some more but haven't been able to replicate my first success. My Jool slingshot entry disentigrated and my SRB test fell to the kraken. Maybe its time to move on to a new class?

By stacked, do you mean placed on top of each other, or inside?

Just check out some of the rockets here, there are some really small ones https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/192955-orbit-boot-camp/

I was talking about a vertical entry, the point of the challenge is to get as much speed, not so much, lose the speed. But I'm thinking a conventional might be a better idea. At the very least a periapsis of 45 km.

I'm actually attempting a Jool gravity slingshot I'm glad you participated! I be sad to see you go, I was hoping for some back and forth with you and ColdJ I've only used LFO so far, but I'm testing some craft with SRBs. I get back to you on this

The title is a little confusing so here is some context. I have a ballistic craft that I'm using for the Quest for Hypersonic challenge (link in my sig!). I've just done a Jool gravity assist and am speeding toward Kerbin at 8000 m/s but before I hit the SRBs and boost up to 10000, I want to see if anyone knows what the max survivable reentry speed with a heat shield.

Who dares threaten my title! @Philae_Rosetta2021 - Unfortunately I can't count your score. While testing the ballistic, I noticed that boosting up to really high altitudes results in ridiculous speeds over land. One of my results screen was 50000 m/s! What you have to do is either take a video, take lots of screenshots, or quicksave before hitting the atmosphere, because then it wipes your fastest speed, and it accurately reflects your score. I didn't say anything about this but now that you guys mention it, I've decided to add this as a rule. It makes the ballistics class fit the challenge much better. From now on Ballistics class has this restriction: You must be able to recover the probe core after the flight. I am discounting my first run, but because I managed to survive the second run, my record still stands. I'll count this, but from now on I need proof that the probe survived. Nice job @ColdJ, but you'll never reach my record with those rookie runups. I've actually been testing interplanetary run ups Did this happen on Laythe or Kerbin? Every record must be on Kerbin as Laythe and Eve have different atmospheres (they make it easier and harder, respectively) Be taking that design

Sometimes I'll run out of likes and have to go around to all the posts I've liked going, whos post do I like the least?

Hopefully its that low!

Congrats! Don't forget to grab your badge from the OP! If you're going for 5000 I would recommend a different class. Hermes tends to top out at 4000 - 4500.

And I'm back. Turns out putting on a heat shield will allow you to get much faster. After lots of tries, I managed to get over 6000 m/s I also added a ton of fuel. Here is my new record, 6252 m/s I also managed to make this one survive! 23 hours later: Which was a good thing because now this run counts
