The Grand Jewel fleet design contest

[Lapis]

The grand jewel army forces are in need of modernization so we are now recruiting officers to test and develop weapons. pick a branch(below) to build for. be creative! there are a few rules such as:

1. keep it relatively low part count. 

2.no copying designs

3. space branch needs no launchers to get into space

Branches

Space 

this branch builds ships to fight in space 

stock only 

 

Sea

BDA permitted

 

 

Air

_________________________________________________________________
I will judge these aircraft versus : other  submissions , my craft, and compare maneuverability between aircraft

Aircraft that have passed

• @Bottle Rocketeer 500's KS-99SP  https://kerbalx.com/BottleRocketeer500/KS-99SP has been approved for high ranking personnel transport however the sparrow is preferred 
• the sparrow by @lapis (me ) not biased but is just easier to handle  than the KS99SP https://kerbalx.com/lapis_space_program/Sparrow
• @TheFlyingKerman's  https://kerbalx.com/TheFlyingKerman/LKA-1CIII an exellent recon aircraft.

Airplane Plus parts have some issues with absolutely huge hitpoints values (they're trying to fix it).

For now, @Rocketing Racerand I worked on correcting the values for all the parts in AP+. Below is a CFG file for use with Module Manager (comes with BDA) that makes the numbers at least somewhat rational: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gvasv4ywtu2jjha/000000_HitpointModule_PartFixes-AirplanePlus.cfg?dl=0

This will fix existing craft files to the new values:  https://github.com/java12man/BDA-CraftHitPointFix

What does relatively low part count mean? For me that's in the 200 or 300 part range, but I realize that might cause issues with other people's systems. 

[Lapis]

yeah 200 - 320 Is what I mean. more if it's stock or the space branch

@lapis, may I suggest another mod?

This'll be handy for Tanker Aircraft submissions. I'll be converting one of my airliners I've posted on KEA into a Tanker.

 

[Lapis]

@FahmiRBLXian I will take a look.

[TheFlyingKerman]

Can something like this work as a spy/recon plane?

@lapis

If you want more passengers to be transported between unprepared airfields:

[Bottle Rocketeer 500]

@lapis DId you test the KS-100PT yet?

[Lapis]

yeah. unfortunatly it did not pass the time warp test.(it failed to stay level in time warp making travelling for long distances harder)
