[Showcase] Showoff Your Rep-Worthy Crafts

[Felsmak]

How about this one?

[RocketscientistV]

37 Kerbals.

[WooDzor]

Nice solution for the rough edges with the nose cones!

[nebulanate]

I hope everybody has given too much rep. 3 cheers for rep givers!

hip hip, hooray!! (x3)

(theres a 24 hour limit)

[Roflcopterkklol]

Ehh only things i have made lately that were rep worthy are these things.

100% stock planes built to pretty much the limits of what can be done in the atmosphere.

Beast mk6

HA Mongrel mk2 (hypersonic jet, will circumnavigate)

Beast mk7

I mean the developers seemed to enjoy them, got a shoutout on twitter and facebook so they cant be too bad.

Other than that, stock fighter jets that actually work is about it.

Mini Beast

The beast mk6 (Armed)

[VR_Dev]

3 Stock fighter Jets

@CB Can you still get in and out of the cockpits of the first craft? I was trying to build something similar but failed to get it to work properly :-/

[Frank_G]

The smallest rover i have built so far. It drives very stable and has 4 science experiments on board.

Testdrive on Kerbin

On duty on Duna. (with additional light on the back)

[DocMoriarty]

My current favorite is a small helikopter. If i could just find my trunks!

NOTE: these would be easier flyable if this got fixed: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/91419-Small-Change-in-Jet-Engine-Behaviour-Big-Leap-for-Kerbalkind!

[Parallax]

posted this a while ago, but here it is again. i'm currently working on a larger version that works on the same principle, she's almost ready...

[manni01]

My fighter jet which is apparently my most popular design

My recently created formula race car

My replicas of the f-117 bomber and of the su-27 fighter jet

[Frank_G]

I continued on my quest to create micronized functional craft. This satellite weighs 840 kg, delivers 13.200 m/s of delta V using an ion drive and has full mapping functionality.

So, what for? Well... two of those satellites, each of them with different scanning equipment, can easily launch to LKO on a single SRB, reducing mission cost to a minimum.

The SRB makes it two thirds through the atmosphere, then the LFO stage circularizes, deploys the satellites and uses the built in computer core to de-orbit itself. The satellites can reach any point in the Kerbol system on their own. The complete mission including both satellites, launch and transfer stage is brought down to 59.6 k of funds, while delivering useful data, that will help in further missions.

Mods used: Procedural fairings and ScanSAT - No part clipping.

Say hi to Dragon Rider Kerman!

[Vlk]

My new toy.

Uses FAR and the electric propeller from the firespitter mod. Those propellers consume a lot less energy in high atmosphere because they provide a lot less thrust. If it goes east, i can survive the night on batteries, if it goes west, it can keep up with the sun. So it can stay in the air forever

I think these are worth some rep

Starcraft 2 siege tank

The robotech vf-1j

The swatcat turbocat

I love the Valkyrie!!! (what an awesome series Robotech still is) and the siege tank is awesome too.

[Hydrazine_Soup]

My constellation replica

[Hydrazine_Soup]

Well, someone asked me if I had moar of the constellation program crafts, and indeed I do:

Ares I (With Orion orbiter as payload)

Ares V (Packs quite a punch, 18000 kN of thrust at litoff, the SRBs burn for 65 seconds, while the main core stage burns for 4 minutes, the second stage is barely used at all just for circularization, now, featuring fairings that separate in two halves!)

Orion Orbiter (The one in the other post is a heavier version designed for landing on big bodies.)

Twas I!

nice launchers dude. I ask as I have nearly finished my stock constellation mission pack and i'm curious to see how others tackled the problem. I haven't used orange tanks though. Gives it a different look.

Have you made the aeroshell landers yet?

Not yet, but the Ares V can fit anything that isnt over 3.25 meters diameter, so I guess I could give it a try.

The only issue would be part count, the launcher itself is arround 300 parts.

Would be cool if I could check out your stuff!

I am itching to post pics but its not 100% yet.

The part count of the Copernicus hab section Ares V is 1075.

Once launched and docked with the engine section its perfectly playable. Its mostly the fairing, which is quite large.

I call this one Unari... for no particular reason.

Quite fond of my new one; hopefully they'll fix it so you can pre-load command chairs in the SPH soon.

NEW! IMPROVED!

Kerbodyne Migration

Presenting the new release from the Kerbodyne SSTO Division’s Kerbal Transportation Solutions range: the Kerbodyne Migration. Capable of transporting twenty six Kerbals (two crew, four first class passengers, eight business class passengers and twelve economy passengers) in style, speed and comfort (well, in the first class compartment, anyway).

Half a dozen quick, inexpensive trips to the Mun and back and you won't just have a Munar base; you'll have a Munar town. Also available in conversions for use as an infantry transport, paratroop intruder, medium bomber, aerial command and control centre, combined crew/cargo delivery vessel, flexible research explorer or large executive jet.

Kerbodyne. Quality you can fly.

* Action group 1 toggles Aerospikes.

* Action group 2 toggles inner RAPIERs.

* Action group 3 toggles outer RAPIERs.

* Action group 4 toggles RAPIER mode.

* Action group 6 toggles intakes.

* Action group 7 toggles boarding mode.

* Action group 8 toggles docking mode.

* Action group 9 triggers scientific instruments.

* Action group 10 toggles Vernors. Used for low-grav VTOL and emergency recovery. Keep toggled off at other times.

* Conventional RCS remains for your docking needs.

* Providing less legroom in economy class could substantially enhance the carrying capacity.

* Hopefully they'll soon fix the bug that prevents you from loading command chairs with Kerbals in the SPH. In the meantime, walk.

Part Count: 200

Wet mass: 47.947 t

Dry mass: 26.142 t

Price: from √151,496

* Also available: Wanderfound's Custom Edition. Features Mechjeb Flight Instrumentation, TAC-LS supplies and Extended Trim functionality: action group 5 sets trim to current inputs. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gvms9evo7vjtckg/Kerbodyne%20Migration%20Custom%20Comfy.craft?dl=0

Also requires Shimmy's Throne and Kerbpaint for aesthetics.

If you're willing to use such tactics, you can clip infinite life support supplies into the forward bay without using the debug menu. Kinda defeats the point of TAC-LS, though.

The flying instructions are so simple that they could fit on one of Jebediah’s post-it notes.

1. Take off.

2. Set pitch to 20°.

3. Go to space.

Don’t turn on the Aerospikes until the oxygen runs out. Save the Vernors for when you need them: spin recovery and low-grav VTOL landings.

Appreciates attention to roll just after takeoff, but becomes completely stable once up to speed.

110kN of precisely balanced low-grav VTOL capability.

Economy Class.

Switching to docking mode.

Spoilers for descent and landing.

Easy take off.

Simple ascent profile (profile showing here slightly lower than norm for flight testing purposes. 20° recommended for normal use).

Perfect transonic stability. Hands-off piloting with SAS alone after getting up to minimum flight speed.

Enough power for a horizontal ascent: note the low angle of attack and lack of control surface activity.

Accelerates rapidly.

Outer engines shut down to extend air-breathing capability.

Switching to closed-cycle propulsion. Aerospikes activated.

Finally start to see some heating effects. Exceptionally smooth aerodynamics leave the Kerbodyne Migration immune to speeds that would tear lesser craft to shreds.

Getting quite warm now.

Whoops.

(note: shock heating damage inflicted as a deliberate flight testing procedure. Will not occur if customers follow a sane 20° flightpath as instructed. Kerbodyne takes no responsibility for customer losses while flying above Mach 7 in the lower atmosphere)

Still flies perfectly stably.

There go the other ones.

(note: both losses due to temperature, not aerodynamic failure. The Kerbodyne Migration airframe is perfectly solid unless intentionally abused)

Still good.

Mach 8, let’s throttle off and see how we’re doing.

Not bad.

I wonder what will happen if we hit the gas again?

Out of gas, maybe the RCS will work.

And that’s it, starting to slow down.

Oops.

I wonder how much RCS we have left?

Requires SP+ and FAR/NEAR. Obviously untroubled by Deadly Reentry. Combines exceptionally well with Shimmy's Throne: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/66220-Bond-Aerotech-Shimmy-s-Throne-1-3-1-F100-jet-engine-Updated-15-AUG-14

[Im The One]

here is a few

the F-105

and my Subat MK IV

and maybe this one the Daemon Rollen

[andrew123]

Prototype of the aerially deployed naval minefield. Any vessel hitting this area denial weapon at a high speed is a goner.

I just need to perfect the dispersion system.

Naval mine laying vessel incoming.

My strategy underwent a revamp. I lay mines around the hostile fleet, preventing them from escaping, and then I subsequently destroy the vessels at range using my tomahawk cruise missiles. My AIM-9X and Iron Pike missiles could also work.
