[SHOWCASE] Pirate Space Industries - All Stock Designs by Jolly Roger

[Jett_Quasar]

What I'm testing right now is setting up a sub-assembly that you can add to an existing craft to convert it to run on antimatter.  This has been done by some of the testers (as seen in the Pirate Tech videos so far).  There are some quirky physics that are associated with the tech so there needs to be specific rules that have to be followed in order to build a craft using the modded parts.  I'm continuing to figure out what needs to be done in order to maintain smooth operation of the vehicle while running it on antimatter.  Right now the main issue I'm encountering are control reversals and lack of stability - also the mod is very fragile and can easily be broken by doing fairly straight-forward things like looking at it (seriously, just looking at it the wrong way will irreversibly damage it - this isn't a joke as funny as it sounds).

Unfortunately, that sounds plain hilarious to me, as I can imagine that happening to me:

"Okay, got my perfect craft designed, let's put it on the runw-- OH WHY IS IT ON FIRE"

Believe me, fire was one of the more comprehensible failures the test squad of JRs SKAT had to endure, we had to expect anything once the craft is on the runway. But when you follow all the rules and precautions the results can be quite amazing.

....now I'm insanely curious as to how the testing for this mod is, if you're saying that "setting fire to the Runway" is the least of your concerns, lol!!

The SKAT is going places! Single stage to the outer planets?!

Both landers have plenty of juice left for some extended surface bashing and the way home. Antimatter is some serious stuff.

Great stuff!

Sorry I forgot to mention that the original post has been updated with new pictures, video and links to the craft files.  

Enjoy!

I've added a Cloud Car craft file link to the main page... Star Wars is like an addiction!

I've added my latest video as well as some more Star Wars craft files to the main page... have fun!

Is there a download for the SSTO space plane launcher with the reliant on it? Also most of the ones I try to load, don't load right

The download link for the Reliant is below the picture of it landing on Duna.  The link is pretty small, I'll edit the page to make it more prominent.  Most of the craft have been developed in V1.0.4 but they all should work in V1.0.5 - what mods are you running?

Hi JR, I really like your crafts. I downloaded your millennium falcon and it flys great but it's been acting strange. All the fuel tanks are empty but the engines all work. The fuel goes negative! ( I got pic.s but I'm on my phone. I'll upload when I get home) Also I could set the rockets to 5000% thrust but it didn't change anything. 

I'm not complaining though, the bugs are pretty cool and the falcon's amazing. I'm just curious why they showed up. They didn't occur on any of my craft I feel it's because I download your craft wrong.

Love your videos too

Yes the Kerbal Empire have acquired some Pirate Technology that allows their craft to run on antimatter in the stock game.  The Rebels have stolen the tech and outfitted their ships with it starting with the Millennium Falcon.  The tech enables Star Wars ships to fly to other planets just like they do in the movies so I'm not complaining.  The Falcon still has one problem though... too many parts 

I've just uploaded the X-wing fighter video and craft file to the main page of this thread - it contains the pirate tech as well so enjoy!

P.S. nice X wing

I have quite a few actually. I also just realized some of my stock parts are missing from the build menu, so I'm gonna have to do a new install

Oh OK, some of my new craft have been built using mods but ALL of my craft should run just fine in the stock game.  Let me know if you're still having issues after you reinstall.

They're all loading and working fine now. I'm trying to use the reliant to get the hang of orbiting before I dive into making my own, but I cant seem to get it into a stable orbit. Got any tips?

In V1.0.5 you need to stay low to build up speed.  Try to get as close to 500 m/s as you can while staying below 3 Km altitude.  It took me a while to figure this out because it's so different from the flight profile of previous versions of the game.

So much good stuff on here, I love your work JR!

Ok, it is my first post, and my english is not very good, but i want to ask if you Jolly Roger could take a look in the Swani craft, because when you use the horizontal thrusters, it wants to flip, sorry for bad english.

The problem is related to the ISRU.  When you use it to refill the tanks from an on-board ore supply it doesn't fill the tanks evenly - on one side of the craft the tanks are filled up more than on the other and you have a imbalance in the weight distribution left to right.  After you are finished refueling you need to check that the tanks on both the left and right have the same amount of fuel.
