My Tumble-Bee line of vessels, and one a friend collaborated with me on.

Crazy Tumble-Bee:

Ship, Station and Lander all in one! Tested and passed by the Kerbal Institute of Science and Snacks. Also received the sticker of happy travels. Do not put sticker on the outside of the vessel. If it is worth doing, it is worth overdoing.

Tumble-Bee Orbit Express

Orbital shuttle! Tested and passed by the Kerbal Institute of Science and Snacks. Also received the sticker of happy travels. Do not put sticker on the outside of the vessel. Kerbalian scientist wanted to feel the swoosh and swish, and the Tumble-Bee Orbit Express does that and more. Can be modified for satellites or other purposes as well.

Collaboration: Steely-Eyed Banana Express:

This is a collaboration between a friend and myself, who designed the shuttle to be a rescue mission for one of my first ever created vessels that stranded a team in space. Under extreme duress, this shuttle was not only successful in rescuing the stranded expedition, but also able to complete the original mission and return home with both crews. Doing this earned the vessel the Kerbalian expression of being the Steely-Eyed Banana Express. Tested and passed by the Kerbal Institute of Science and Snacks. Also received the sticker of happy travels. Do not put sticker on the outside of the vessel.

I appreciate feedback, critical or complimentary. I have more plans for the Tumble-Bee line of vessels, and plan on getting to it once I whittle down my current play log, and can focus on learning more of what I have not yet learned within the Kerbal limits of creativity. 

Cheers and Game On!

Nothing at all, Vanamonde. In fact, these are small to medium size for me. I tried making larger vessels, but the game has some complications with too many moving parts, and it seems that really unusual things happen. I had one vessel started moving in very peculiar ways, and looks like a bird flapping wings, then exploded. 

My small ship is the Tumble-Bee Orbit Express. I have a version of it that can launch to any planet from Kerbal, and become an orbital for any planet and moon in the known Kerbal space. However, I end up either having to strand a pilot, or find a better way to increase my range of communication for pilotless travel. This is problematic, but also explains why I sometimes will have over twenty missions going on and forget which one was supposed to do what. 

Just as well, as Adam Savage said from Mythbusters, "If it is worth doing, it is worth over doing." I am a firm believer in that philosophy. Than again, I am also an Adam Savage fan, as it were. That amount of energy for science, that is the way to live.
