Soon

You know, I just had an idea for a type of contract you could add to this pack. What if you had sunken wrecks spawn out in the ocean, sort of like the boats for the rescue mission do, but the goal is to go down with a submarine and explore it? You could even make he contract require you to bring a piece of the shipwreck back to the surface!

I have the E-3, but not the E-4. The biggest problem for me is how the 109s controls freeze up when in a dive, it makes BnZ next to impossible to pull off. I usually use Stukas with a friend of mine, and we always get the Bastogne map, so we fly right to the back of the map and bomb the truck convoy. If I aim my bombs right, I can normally hit at least three trucks, and then I can turn around and kill the others with my machine guns. If the other team hasn't showed up by then, I head back to the airfield and rearm. If they do show up, I can usually shoot some down with my turret. Believe it or not, I have survived sorties like this more than once. In other news, I got the Do-217 night fighter, and I see no reason why anyone would fly that thing. It flies worse than the space shuttle, and it's turrets don't shoot worth a damn! Well, at least it's painted black...

Ugh, Bf-109s are so hard to use effectively that whenever I fly German planes now I usually find myself flying Stukas or the Pasta Bomber. The Fw-190 will be a godsend.

Oh yeah, I forgot the DL for the castaway raft! Remember, if you want to sail it, control the raft from the back command seat (the one most visible in the picture I shared) and do not exceed 10 m/s. EVER. If you do, the sail will break off, and the raft will look stupid. Also, be careful, it capsizes very easily (another, more practical reason to stay under 10m/s). Here, take it. Volleyball companion not included.

IT FLOATS!!! Now to get the turret working, and sort out the bugs still plaguing CSS Virginia, and I'll be able to release them both!

I see alot of boats on here, most of them look better than my little Bayou, but if you still want it, here's the download link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NU1M-kaIhgbFNCZlFMMU5OQ1k And here's the boat's theme song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5V9nK7-OkM EDIT: These boats are going to be spawned out in the ocean for people to rescue, correct? You may like this as well. It's pretty hard to sail, can't go very fast (the solar panels would break), and capsizes very easily, but if it isn't moving, it (usually) sits in the water alright. Has seats for three Kerbals, and looks pretty good. Perfect for being the target of rescue missions!

I think you should know that if I ever manage to build a submarine with effective torpedoes, I will use this ship as a practice target. Just sayin'.

I think maybe for the extension panels, you could have a two stage animation cycle. The first stage (regular configuration, like Salyut 6) could be activated remotely, while the second stage (the extensions themselves) could only be activated manually by a Kerbal on EVA. Not sure whether this is possible or not, I've only had a very basic education in coding, and I'm not really sure how the animation could work, with the regular panels deployed and the extensions retracted, but if you could figure out how to do these things, imagine how cool it would be! Alternatively, you could maybe try and do something with KIS to allow Kerbals on EVA to attach the extensions to the regular solar panels, but that also has its own problems. I guess you would have to give the solar panels their own collision mesh, and then figure out how to allow the whole set to track the sun... I see why this hasn't been done already.

Did they add an entire line of British tanks? I've tried loading it up a few times, but waiting 30 minutes to an hour for it to update is much less appealing than completing my Crusade on Cairo in Medieval II: TW. I really ought to update this game, I need to get the Fw-190.

I think the best way to make a ballast tank system with th cargo bays would be to use the Mk2 probe core to separate them. That way you can still get all three cargo bays without sacrificing too much space.

Wow, you are a man (or woman, I suppose) after my own heart! Great job! I'm gonna have to try this out for myself later today.

• I would also not consider myself a "big name", but I have definitely made something "revolutionary" (Shameless plug). If you rely on the really well known people to make cool stuff for you, then the Spacecraft Exchange would likely devolve into a system in which about 10% of the people make 90% of the craft. That's never good, it discourages creativity and creates intimidation. If you don't like something, change it. Be an inspiration for others, but not a god. • Dammit, Jim, I'm an engineer, not a time lord! To be honest, I thought I wasn't going to be able to get this out at all! Besides, previous editions have been released ever later. • Yeah, I had to dig through the second and third pages to find enough craft to meet my self appointed quota of five. Don't get the wrong idea, none of these craft were picked just to fill a spot, I like them all.

You think you could build an angled landing deck to make it look like a real supercarrier? I know it's not entirely necessary, but it sure would look cool.

Alright, I'll pack the hull full of structural fuselages and see if it still sinks. I think I figured out the problems with the bearing, I just forgot to add SAS and a battery, so the command seat couldn't turn the turret. The one time I'm building a watercraft I want to float, it sinks instead. Kill me now.

There isn't one yet. I think I want to polish it a little more. Once I get it how I like it though, I'll hand it off to you.

Dammit, I jinxed myself! The thing doesn't float, and the bearing is giving me trouble! Does anyone know which parts have naturally positive buoyancy? Here, have a cool shipwreck picture, at least I can give you that...

Well, that wasn't too hard. Less parts than C.S.S. Virginia, and it still has a rotating turret (Thanks, selfish_meme)

Hmm, I've tested it a few times, and it seems that this plane is really, really unstable. The first time I flew it, I pulled the nose up to gain altitude, and the plane proceeded to do an entire loop (while I had my hand pressing on the W key, trying to bring it back down), before losing control and doing half of another loop before crashing. The second time, I turned Caps Lock on, tried to roll the plane and them turn to the right, it quickly did another Crazy Ivan loop and crashed. It's a very pretty plane, but I must be missing something. Am I supposed to use FAR for this?

It may be a little late to ask this, since you said Salyut is almost done, but would you consider making a version of the Salyut solar panels with the extra extensions that Salyut 7 had? You know, these things.

I have a small fishing boat I started working on but never finished. It seats four Kerbals, and has a top speed of about 15 m/s (I think). If you like it, I can find where I put it, dust off the cobwebs, polish it a little bit (I'd like it to sit higher in the water, go a little faster, and have a greater range), and give it to you.

Mein Gott! Its beautiful!! Give it to me, I must have it! *incomprehensible German babbling*

Yeah, this is exactly why I chose this for Spacecraft Friday. With the prebuilt shuttle parts, most STS or Buran type ships end up feeling like cheap factory produced goods. This one feels like time and effort was put into it, that's why I like it so much.

Yeah, I know what you mean, and sometimes I feel the same way. Fear not, I shall end this!

Eh, I thought of that, and I think it would work, but the ship is already 370 parts, and having projectiles sticking out in front of the cannons might ruin the shape. I can try it though. Maybe that would be something to add to USS Monitor, it should be smaller and have less parts than this beast. Oh no, once I get both ships done, I'm gonna have to load them both up and take screenshot of them fighting like at the Battle of Hampton Roads. My computer is gonna die.
