AaronDoesSpace Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) If you like the mods I make feel free to support me on Patreon or Ko-fi Any donations help fund new tools for better mods! DOWNLOADS Github | SpaceDock License: MIT Credits: Thanks to @CobaltWolf and @Zorg for constantly helping me while making this mod, couldn't have done it without you! Dependencies (Not Included! Make sure to download): Bluedog Design Bureau - This mod makes use of a lot of custom configs from BDB as well as using the J-2 for its TVC Engines (Honestly if you don't have this are you even playing KSP?) Simple Adjustable Fairings - Allows for the very huge, solid and 8 Segmented fairing that sits on top of this rocket. Waterfall - These huge and beautiful engine plumes are thanks to this mod, make sure to grab it! FAQ What is this mod? Why did you make it? I wanted my fellow Sea Dragon fans to have a mod to play with that didn't require the usage of a RSS scaled solar system, was up to date in terms of artstyle, and also was more accurate to the original design study documents published in the 60s. Mods that original added Sea Dragon, most notably, RSSeaDragon, have quite an out dated art style and haven't been maintained for quite a while. I am also the first one to implement the correct expanding nozzle design! Why is this so powerful?! I managed to get to the outer solar system easily! Stock Scale Sea Dragon is designed for usage on a 2.5x / 2.7x Scale Solar System Only. You can choose to use a rescaled stock system, or KSRSS Reborn, or anything of that scale if you choose, as those are what this mod is designed for. How much payload is this rocket able to lift? This mods rocket is designed to lift about 220 in-game tons into an orbit of about 120km in KSRSS or similar scale systems.

AaronDoesSpace Posted January 8 Author Share Posted January 8 7 hours ago, Bej Kerman said: The stockness really shines through Stock Scale refers to the fact that the parts are balanced and scaled against the stock parts, which it turns out, are actually balanced for a solar system that is 2.7x larger, or a quarter of real life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndiver Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Congrats for release, i feel this mod will be useful for players that want to send large stuff in orbits without too many parts in ascent stage (graphic cards are expensive) Small question considering that we speak of the Sea Dragon (and as it is not mentioned in the description): should it be launched necessarily from water (and if yes how?) or can it be launched from the launchpad (without blasting it) ?

ltajax Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) for some reason my first stage is not staying connected when I try to launch the vehicle, and its second stage keeps falling over from the first stage when I try to launch it Edited January 28 by ltajax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ltajax Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 (edited) Quick question, how am I supposed to fuel the second stage? Its engines want a oxy/hydro mixture but the main engine needs to burn allot of kerosene, so much that the first stage tanks run out very shortly after lifting off from the pad, making it essential to fuel the second stage with kerosene too.
