Should I build a bigger boat ?

Probably.  You're going to be disturbing the great deeps of Kerbin.  Where no Kerbal has ventured.  Who knows what beasties of the Old Gods are down there?

I'm working on the cabin and the interior.

I know it doesn't look 100 % like the Orca so we named it Orka. &)

It's the yellow barrels and the dead man's walking plank in the front that makes this immediately recognizable. :lol:

For a moment, I wondered about you calling it Ochre and painting it a brown-sand colour. :)  And then....

Well, barrels on a boat made me think of this.

Barrels mostly remind me of this dude I used to watch long ago when he was funny.

Wait, he used to be funny?!?  That's harder to believe in than little green rocketry-obsessed aliens.

In other news, I just found this on Reddit:

 

I think it's genius, so I'm making my own. :cool:

Landing with this landing gear configuration was something I had get used to.

Instead of braking you have to pull up to land, cool new experience. &)

do you know of any way to make a compression spring

Oh, my computer dinged!

 I'm using gravity and weights to try to get my wheel of fortune pin to spring back.  It works ok.  Force from a juno gives a nice adjustable force too.  You can spin up a reaction wheel with trim and use that for a spring return.  All three of these examples are steady state tho, and not compounding like a real spring.  But landing legs are so funky and finicky, and they change each patch it seems.

 If you don't mind burning fuel and dealing with some heat I'd go the juno route.  That what I'm using for return springs on pinball flippers :). 

 If you wanna throw files or pictures back and forth shoot me PM.

havent done much yet but i was watching some videos on power wagons and i'd like to make a crawler, i'm trying to figure out suspension for it i think your RW idea would work pretty well for that depending on the weight of the finished truck, what kind of bearing would you recommend for that application?

when i start building i'll PM you which will be shortly

it's all the angles on the textures, i bet it would look a whole lot better if you used a paint mod but those are notoriously difficult to find

Perhaps you're right. I'll try editing the screenshots so I can see what difference it would make.

 Oh, you could do some leaf springs.  Never tried it, but I've seen peeps make crossbows and stuff by stringing together a bunch of small things, as long as they're not auto-strutted.

this little thing, i am amazed by it's capacity, it weights 12.9 tons, and can lift 6.5.

it can support 150 percent of it's weight.

just to add some perspective,  this thing hauls 4 and weighs 28. granted it has less wheels, 10 on each engine making 40 overall versus this new one's 36 but still, the privateer has junos.
