3rd/4th gen Aerial Brawl (FAR + BDAc)
MostExcellent replied to Pds314's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
I've been busy, I'll look into starting up a tourney myself over winter break though. This is what I've got in terms of aircraft that meet the criteria. Not sure I've uploaded the version with optimized settings though https://kerbalx.com/MostExcellent/XK-16b -
3rd/4th gen Aerial Brawl (FAR + BDAc)
MostExcellent replied to Pds314's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Another question, how do I set start distances? Last time I did something like this it was starting from takeoff. -
3rd/4th gen Aerial Brawl (FAR + BDAc)
MostExcellent replied to Pds314's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
On another note, before I do anything else, does anybody know why aircraft tend to enter spins when using the BDa AI with FAR? It doesn't just happen with mine (which I seem to have fixed somehow, maybe it was adding the control surfaces on the front of wings) but with some of the others in this thread. Also, would pre-coolers be allowed? I'm just playing around with this ruleset since it seems fun. Edit: I saw pre-coolers on some of the other craft, so I'm assuming they're fair game. -
3rd/4th gen Aerial Brawl (FAR + BDAc)
MostExcellent replied to Pds314's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
I really like this type of thing. Do you think I should start a new one or continue this thread/challenge? -
Unexpected failures turn out to be great fun sometimes. I was trying to rotate the crew on my Kerbin Space Station, but a micrometeoroid (from Kessler Syndrome mod) destroyed my main engine before I could burn to match velocities. I had enough monopropellant to match velocities using RCS thrusters, but that was it. Not content to simply send my crew on EVA to dock with the station (and miss out on completing a science contract due to instruments on my capsule), I tried to think of other ways I could dock. I still had a decoupler. I aligned the docking ports using reaction wheels, and decoupled. After a short wait, the command pod and station docked. Great success!

kerbal SSTO program!
MostExcellent replied to EndTraveler's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
An SSTO challenge could be fun Are there rules? A scoring system? Refer to the challenge submission guide -
I present a new supersonic/regional jet: the K2707, which carries 40 passengers at over mach 2.8\ https://imgur.com/a/HGZ41 In supercruise, at an altitude of 12-14 km, it can reach a cruising speed of 840-860 m/s, and an estimated range of 1600 km For extra range, afterburners can be disabled, and cruising at ~300 m/s at 7km of altitude one should be able to reach the extended range target of 2500km The K2707 features excellent stability and lift at all speeds, especially for a supersonic craft, as well as an airbrake system. This making takeoff and landing is a breeze, not to mention the bulk of the flight. Features leather seats, which, though small, feel quite comfortable and luxurious. In addition, we even managed to fit in enough storage space for snacks and a (mostly functional) lavatory! All this could be yours for only a cool $30 million Download: https://kerbalx.com/crafts/35654/

Weekly Aircraft Development Competition
MostExcellent replied to MiffedStarfish's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Are we allowed to post craft after the three have been submitted? Just for fun. -
Hosting dogfights in 1.3 (youtube)
MostExcellent replied to Triop's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Could the replicas category include realistic planes with realistic clipping? The one plane I got to even stand a chance against the sandwich had similar clipping. -

MostExcellent replied to Triop's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
I agree with no lasers, maybe no turrets as well. If we want to do turrets though... -

MostExcellent replied to Triop's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
I have a fighter that could occasionally beat the sandwich, still trying to improve it. No promises though -

Are there any rules regarding weapons? -
SETI-UbM Career Challenge (setup takes 5-10min)
MostExcellent replied to Yemo's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
So is there any scoring system or challenge-specific goals? Are we supposed to submit mission reports or something? Regardless, I need to try this out. -
Finished preparing my defenses. Thanks to @NotAnAimbot for the Ground Tundra, I hope it's ok that I used it for my gun defenses. Also, for others wanting to build defense systems, make sure you set your guard mode settings right, my first iteration would have likely been much less terrible if I had set it up correctly.

Artillery everything from long range. Who needs planes? Crafts: AH-6b Mischief SEAD: 1x Howitzer, 6x Hellfire missiles, 2x HARM [download page] M-5 Arbalest: 1x Howitzer, 8x TOW missiles, 2x .50cal turret [download page] New KSC coming soon.

So I just beat the latest setup, and without using planes. I used TCA, because it was not prohibited. Video and craft files coming soon. New defenses might take a little longer. I hope you guys like cheese, for there will be much.

So here's my 1940 submission: the P-52 A bit on the slow side, but an extremely maneuverable dogfighter that handles well even at low speeds. download

Defense Network challenge.
MostExcellent replied to Joseph Kerman's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Alright, let's start out with easy mode and improve the defense from here. I just threw together some surprisingly durable defenses and it works reasonably enough at least against aircraft. I'm thinking adding aircraft would fix any problems, including anti-ground capabilities. Have fun testing, and I would gladly welcome comments/criticism/advice. Download the save file here -
Defense Network challenge.
MostExcellent replied to Joseph Kerman's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
My only worry is that planting on the VAB requires some sort of VTOL craft, but that can be a part of it. We also should have some restrictions on the waves of attackers to prevent spam. And why can't cruise missiles be used since they can (in theory) be defended against? I will post my quick and dirty defense system as soon as I get home, as a starting point. -
Can we adapt the rules to stock because FAR is not updated? It is proving very difficult to reach the required speed with the allowed propulsion.

Defense Network challenge.
MostExcellent replied to Joseph Kerman's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Could we use standardized attacks? Like against a bomber and two escorts, against artillery, against cruise missiles, against attack aircraft, etc? I might make a hangar of craft to test against, just for convenience. -

Thanks! I hadn't downloaded the extra modules to make bdarmory work properly. -
Defense Network challenge.
MostExcellent replied to Joseph Kerman's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Unfortunately, I have been having major issues getting my defenses to actually work or, for that matter, getting anything to attack them either. If anyone has any advice, it would be appreciated
