Aircraft Carrier Challenge.

[Stormpilot]

The challenge: Make an aircraft carrier out of stock parts (Visual mods and Airplane Plus allowed).

Difficulty Levels:

Easy: Aircraft Carrier with one plane that can take off and land.

Medium: Aircraft Carrier with multiple planes that can take off and land.

Hard: FLYING Aircraft Carrier with one or more plane(s) that can takeoff and land on the FLYING carrier.

Rules:

I need screen shots for proof.

No other mods than the ones listed above (unless upon request).

Here is the Badge:

Here is the Badge if you manage to make a working flying carrier (made by @ColdJ).

                           

Here are some photos of my carrier:

It can takeoff and land a single micro fighter. And then rearm it for more flight (it uses parachutes for landing).

Vessel mover is ok for floating carriers only! The flying carrier must take off on its own.

Go be creative and have fun!

What makes the hard challenge harder then?

[Stormpilot]

@Bej KermanBecause the aircraft carrier is flying (a large plane has tiny planes which take off and land while the carrier plane is flying). Trust me I’ve tried docking/ grabbing a large plane and it’s pretty hard.

@*MajorTom* pretty cool design. I really like the two thermostats and the antenna as landing guidance (if that’s what you intended them to be for).

Floating carriers. 

Still im a bit confused, could you elaborate?

I think he means carriers that float on the water, i.e. boats. Saves you the hassle of transporting it from the runway to the water.

[Stormpilot]

Ah ok. Thanks @Flying dutchman.
@Bej Kerman I‘ll remove the vessel mover part.

Hello! i have some question: 1. can i cheat to get the carrier to the water? 2. should the carrier have engine and can move or not? 3. what plane is allowed? VTOL or normal aircraft? 4. can struts be used as a cable that will hold the craft when landing in a carrier?

Hello @JB182!

1, the carrier must be moved to the water using wheels. Or whatever. No vessel mover or other vessel moving mods.

2, any engine is AOK!

3, a VTOL world be interesting, or even a helicopter.

4, yes it is ok.

[JB182]

Hi @STORMPILOTkerbalkind! thanks for your reply!

How do we feel about using kerbal konstructs for a water spawn because i'm not likeing the idea of wheeling over multi thousand ton carriers into the ocean

 

Furthermore when it comes to landing fixed wing aircraft on a carrier, angled flight deck or otherwise, i find mouse aim far more precise than caps plus wasd

Cool

[Stormpilot]

@chadgaskerman you need to actually wheel the thing over. Honesty just add some big rove max wheels which you can just ditch once in the water.

Also I agree with mouse Aimed flight. I played X-Plane11 a lot before I got a yoke for controlling planes. It’s a pretty clever system. Way better  than WASD. Considering getting it (can you shut it off though? Would be nice to turn it off while in space. I would probably only use it while fly planes).

[JB182]

my carrier is almost done, just add more panel and struts and maybe hydrofoils. but im not sure if it will reach the sea

[Stormpilot]

Ah yes. Moar struts.

[JB182]

my carrier is almost made fully out of panels

even the control tower made out of panels

and the runway

it also have torpedo just for fun and because i make it in my war world

and weapon like this

[Stormpilot]

@JB182 ya using BD armoury? (Its fine BD armoury is ok)

[JB182]

@STORMPILOTkerbalkindno, i tried BD Armory and it doesnt work also laggy.

thats why i use antenna to make fake guns

[Stormpilot]

hmmm, you could infiltrate ships using a very nice invention, hehehee

lol

[JB182]

my carrier have 400's part. idk if it gonna reach the sea or not. also its still under construction

This is why I use Kerbal Constructs, Ships aren't designed to launched from a runway 3kms away from shore

The trick is to hack gravity and Alt-F12 it to the shore.

[chadgaskerman]

@Pds314check the rules, for some reason it's not allowed
