Recommended Posts

so this is still a work in progress but basically create a stock or DLC craft  that is "creative".  if any one has any badge ideas let me know by posting a comment on your idea

Rules:

1. no rules except no mods other than the DLCs and no cheats.

2. creative is relative. post any thing that you think is "creative".

 

Point system: 

vote on your favorite craft by liking their comment. every chance I get I will check all the comments and put list them in order of which are the most creative.

THE LIST:

1. @Pds314 pole-vaulting rocket

2.   @Klapaucius Petrov

2. @doggonemess HALP

This is one of my favorite craft. It's fairly conventional, but took some creative engineering.

It's the High Altitude Launch Platform, or HALP!

It uses a buttload of jet engines (and surprisingly little fuel) to lift the platform to 25,000 meters and then you launch the rocket. I'm willing to bet it makes rockets a little less expensive, since they skip 98% of the atmosphere.

The platform has parachutes to bring it back down for reuse. It works, more or less. Sometimes much less.

LOL! You might try putting a rocket exhaust hole in the center of the pad. You know, like a real launchpad. If launchpads could fly.

Creative accounting at its finest. &)

that looks cool. how does it work? thrust vectoring?

Nope, it generates all its lift from the small flaps.

Hmm.. one craft or several?

This is an on-ground-assembled, 16-tonne class caveman (no facility upgrades) launch vehicle that stands up by braking really hard and basically pole-vaulting itself vertical.
