Yay!- - - Updated - - -I'll probably do the newest one which I think is the second pic. That was just an early render and most the pics on google had them arranged like the first pic.It's called the Octaweb. I'd suggest to make it a separate part from the tank, and then you could do both the v1.0 and v1.1 versions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hieywiey Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I could, do you have any idea what the design would be?First, make the trunk have the see-through thingy that the fairings have (if that's possible). Second, have a circular pallet (a grid/lattice like object) that is only slightly smaller than the interior of the trunk, as I find that I can stuff multiple things into the trunk using IR's extendatrons.

Overlocker Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 So I got bored and thought I'd give the F9 some love before CRS-7 tomorrow morning. Hope it lands this time!Well, it exploded at 2 minutes 19 seconds after lauch , because the capsule detached after passing the sonic barrier and collided with the second stage oxygen tank ... I hope your Dragon Trunk is sturdier than the real one , so the launcher is safe ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woot Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 the capsule detached after passing the sonic barrier and collided with the second stage oxygen tankThat's... not what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overlocker Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That's... not what happened.Yeah, actually the overpressure of the tank made it explode. I thought some conic piece of debri ( the capsule ) hit the upper stage on the CRS-7 video ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepSlayLP Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 But still the Model looks amazing.The accident reminded us to what we see every day in KSP:It's still pretty hard to get into space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kagame Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) If you need the config file for a Merlin, I can hook you up- I just finished it up last night. Uses the stock LVT-45 model, but I figure you can take care of that... XD*figures out you're going for a 3.75m diameter Falcon 9, not the 2.5m size I use for my Falcon 9-a-like replica*Woops. Excuse me while I config-mod some Skippers to match. This explains why my Falcon 9 replica felt so overpowered...double-edit: Done! Edited June 29, 2015 by Kagame I am my own technical advisor.

TheMaster99 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 If it makes any difference, I'd vote for the cargo dragon if it would let me (presumably locked out of polls bc all I do is lurk so to the site I'm no different than a bot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hieywiey Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The Falcon-9 first stage needs some kind of probe core integrated into it. Also, the engines should be all one part, but use the RAPIER engine switch module to switch from all engines to the center one only. That would save on memory by eliminating 8 parts entirely. If you could make a SHERPA for the Cargo Dragon, that would be great. I have some name suggestions: SHEEP for the SHERPA and Elon (in honor of Elon Musk) for the Cargo Dragon.

tygoo7 Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 So the poll is pretty much over so this is how things will go.1. Falcon 92. Probe pack3. Rodan IVA4. Cargo Dragon5. Release?Is the first stage engine a block that's just one part?Also, when it's time for texturing, are you going to put a SpaceX logo on it, something more Kerbal, or nothing at all?Probably, to save hassle when putting it together kind of like how Beale has an engine block for the soyuz.Please tell me it's 2.5m diameter.Indeed.The Falcon-9 first stage needs some kind of probe core integrated into it. Also, the engines should be all one part, but use the RAPIER engine switch module to switch from all engines to the center one only. That would save on memory by eliminating 8 parts entirely. If you could make a SHERPA for the Cargo Dragon, that would be great. I have some name suggestions: SHEEP for the SHERPA and Elon (in honor of Elon Musk) for the Cargo Dragon.It'll probably have some type of probe core in it so you can land the first stage with something like FMRS. Is it possible to do that with the RAPIER engine switch module? I'll think about the SHERPA when I get to the Cargo Dragon and thanks for some of the name suggestions!

Will the Falcon 9 be modelled after the Falcon 9 V1, V1.1, or the next one (V1.2?)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
