I guess with the new changes in 1.0.5 they should rename the "Explodium Sea" to something a little less explody! JR

I think you should keep it up, that's why I subscribed to your channel. (OK I can feel your wife hating me now... LOL) JR

That's one of my favorite documentaries of all time, good job on creating it in KSP. JR

That's an awesome video, it must have taken literally forever to make... Great craft design and unique music, I love it! JR

I updated my first video in the series. JR

SSTO's are tricky - if it wasn't for Rune I probably wouldn't have even started working on them by now... That's a really strange glitch you have there. I was going to say that has never happened to me but I did experience something similar in my Kerbal Galaxy modded install. I haven't had any issues like that lately though. With respect to the spacecraft, landing it is tricky, but if you have any kind of piloting skills it shouldn't be an issue. I have an instructional type video on how the three engine landing system works for a different craft with a similar design . Basically you use the thrust limiter on the front engine to control the pitch as the fuel burns off. Another trick is to watch the RCS thrusters to tell if you need to throttle up or down and it's best is to control the craft from the top docking port when using the landing engines (that way you can just hit auto retrograde to help control it). The only recommendation I can make is that you practice landing it on Minmus a few times until you get good at it before tackling other larger moons. Duna is more complex yet, since the atmospheric drag will toss the ship around if you descend too fast. If you make it that far I would suggest that you keep your velocity below 500m/s under 20Km altitude and below 300m/s under 8Km. I guarantee it, if you can land that ship on Duna and return it to KSP you have entered the upper echelon of pilots. You got some mad skills then; there should be a Jebediah badge or something! LOL JR

You'll need to keep it on a fairly shallow glide path, I'd say around 20 degrees above the horizon until about 12Km altitude. Drop the nose down to about 15 degrees between 12Km and 20Km to take advantage of the good acceleration of the rapiers at that altitude, then nose back up to 30 degrees and hit HotKey #3 to toggle the rapiers to closed cycle mode above 21Km. Soon after that the turbojets will flame out so hit HotKey #1 to toggle them off. Once in orbit you'll need to transfer all the remaining fuel into the Reliant craft before decoupling and heading to Minmus to refuel. The craft is actually over powered on takeoff and it will allow you to fly a steeper glide path than you should. The objective is to get as close to 1100 m/s as you can before switching the Rapiers to closed-cycle mode so you should generally choose speed over altitude and that means keeping your nose down. Also the fact that you have too much LF left over is a sign that you should be taking more advantage of the atmospheric Ox which means you need to stay lower in the atmosphere for longer and that again requires a shallower glide path. I hope that helps. JR

Someone made a flying pig... in KSP! Now what? LOL! JR

Yes, you're crazy. Deal with it! (at least until the new update comes out) LOL JR

I've added a new video, please refer to the main page to view. JR

This short film is the second installment in a series of videos I'm recording that feature starship designs that I have been using in my KSP V1.0.4 career mode. Originally I had a more ambitions agenda for this clip covering six contracts and more interaction with other vessels but the limitation of a three and a half minute rock song forced me to cut back on a lot of the footage (even though I edited the song to get more time). The result is actually much better than I anticipated so I'm not worried, and some of the additional footage may be used in subsequent videos. (To see the previous video follow this LINK) JR Edit: I didn't realize I had a sticky on my previous video, going forward I'll be linking all my videos there...

All I can say is WOW! JR

Really well done videos! It makes mine look like I'm playing a video game or something... JR

Finished the latest installment of my video series on KSP V1.0.4 career mode. This is basically a continuation from the previous video (you can see it here: ) Enjoy! JR

I have updated the main page of this thread with a new video, as well as a new craft file with proper hot key bindings and some new features to make the craft more stable. Enjoy! JR Edit: here's the link to the video -

No worries, it's an awesome design. I like it when people are creative that's why I gave you the rep. JR Edit: this is one of my favorites and you're right having the wings forward like that not only looks great it flies awesome as well... Sky Raider by Jolly Roger on Sketchfab

Hmmm I've seen something like that before, now let me think of where that might have been... JR

WhackJob is already posted for Jeb, I'll second Rune for Bill and nominate pandoras kitten for Val. I'll have to think about the rest. JR

I'm not done testing that craft file yet but if you're just using it for design ideas I will go ahead and upload it to my DropBox folder. JR Edit: It's still not complete but I've gone ahead and posted it anyway. You can download the craft file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ooobuchffbwt0pm/Littleman.craft?dl=0

I really like the way you did Eve, JR

Cool! I'm working on some more videos, hopefully I'll have the next one out soon. JR

Thanks, I've been starting to get a lot of traffic through YouTube and Sketchfab so I wanted to have a single location here on the forums where they could link to all my pictures, video, 3D renderings and craft files that have been posted to the site in various locations. JR

One Location for all craft designed by Jolly Roger Jett Quasar - Pirate Space Industries Part Three in my video series features the Dyson Interplanetary Exploration Vessel and the Hunter space Plane Pictured here is Dyson: Both the Dyson and Hunter craft are usable in KSP V 1.0.5 and can be downloaded HERE Hot key descriptions can be found in the craft files Also featured in this video is the Swani interplanetary explorer - you can download the craft file HERE Reliant SSTO Launcher/Lander & Interplanetary Starship This craft is capable of flying to and landing on most planetary bodies in the Kerbin system, and has been christened the Reliant-CRV (Crew Return Vehicle). Currently it is launched into orbit via booster, however Space Cowboy is working on an SSTO space plane that will bring the craft into LKO and back to the space center in a first of it's kind effort to create an SSTO with truly infinite range (correction, I couldn't get the design to work so I built another one based on Rune's Longsword - see below).
