UnstableOrbit

Lol, I literally have the challenger as my next planned project. I love them. As for the bug, I will take that into consideration. Not sure if it counts as a muscle car, but perhaps I can make an exception.

Some images of the WIP model of the 1970 Buick GSX. It has some noticeable differences from reality, partially because I suck at modelling and partially because I removed safety features like mirrors and bumpers. Kerbals don't need safety features anyway!

Yeah, I tried the blender tutorials. Didn't help me, I don't have the patience for such a nonsensical input scheme. The unity tutorials seem much better, though.

Very interesting, angusmcbeth! Yes, it is similar, but much more in depth. I will have parts for tuning engine performance(like turbochargers, air intakes, etc). There will be rollcahes and wheelie bars and suspension types and different wheels and muscle car bodystyles and more! BTW, your models look nice. Perhaps you could give me a hand? I am new to KSP, I absolutely suck at modeling and texturing, and I have almost no idea how to code. Plus I am alone. Your efforts could come in handy!

Dude, if you had read the entire post, you'd have seen that I asked for feedback on which route I should take this down, not whether I should do it. The reactions I got from the stream audiences sealed the deal in that regard. In addition, you did not tell me why it would be unappealing, you suggested that I pretty much scrap the entire mod and do something that I feel has been sufficiently covered already. I really do not want to, but I can keep at this all day if that's what it takes. So yeah, you are keeping an eye on me, I'm keeping both on you. Check. Your move.

I asked around on some of Plexistan's and DasValdez's streams and quite a few users said they'd be interested. Now please refrain from calling my arguments absurd, which they most certainly are not as proven by the links I gave you. I will take your utility vehicle suggestion into account, but I have chosen a course and I intend to stick with it. Although... if it is bicycles you want, I could stick a few Schwinn bikes and Indian motorcycles in the pack, since they do count as classic vehicles!

My bad, it is apparently called DEMV, not DSMV. Here it is, though it may not be updated. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/20286-20-x-BobCat-Ind-Release You may also want to look into http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/86695-0-90-USI-Exploration-Pack-Small-parts-big-adventure%21-v-0-3-1-2014-12-24, or perhaps http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/81754-Release-BobCat-Ind-Space-Planet-products. Both of these two links were found without searches. Do these not fit your needs? - - - Updated - - - Alright dude, come off it. I am trying to make something that is at least semiunique. Now I know that my project will not appeal to some people, but you don't have to get all pissy about it. I tried giving you some other options, so try not to bite my head off, mhmkay?

If I am not mistaken, there are already many many mods that add what you are looking for. This will mostly focus on classics, since I did a search and failed to find anything like this. Have you tried the Bobcat DSMV packs, for example?

Ruedii, the way I have it going right now is that you build any frame you want out of the girders and I beams in the game(I may make special frame pieces in the future), and then the three basic sections can be placed on it(I do plan to have extenders in the future, but right now it is just Front, Cabin, and Rear). Fuel and batteries and whatever you want can be placed anywhere inside the cabin(have your kerbals sit on the fuel tank for all I care), or on the frame underneath, or in the trunk, since the trunk acts as a miniature cargo bay(or you can play Punk-in-the-Trunk with an unfortunate kerbal). The hood will be separate so you can indeed fit bigger engines. For seating, the stock ingame command chairs can be placed in the cabin until I get around to making my own seats. Also, I have been working on my first bodyset, based off a 1970 Buick GSX, as seen here. I hope to post some screenshots of the model soon.

RELEASED! http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/109559-0-90-Muscle-Car-Parts-Mod-v1-0-%28released-Feb-4-2015%29 This is a mod that would allow players to make rovers that look and perform like muscle cars. There would be body panels a player could use to stylize their rovers looks, as well as add some strength and protection to its components. There would be engine components that you could tweak and interchange in order to tune the performance of your rovers, different sizes and types of tires, roll cages, suspension, etc. The mod would also include components to let the vehicles operate in airless environments(because who doesn't want to ramp a GTO off the lip of a munar crater?) and different sized inline garage pieces that would allow you to transport your muscle rovers on rockets and spaceplanes. Features: Modular Construction: Each vehicle body is made of only three different pieces. Front, Cabin, and Rear(not counting small pieces like hood, frame, doors, and trunk lid). You can mix any three components, and I may also likely include extenders for longer musclerovers(so perhaps you could chain two Front sections together and have two engines powering your beast). Pros: shorter development time, more bodystyles to choose from, would allow me to put more work into each piece, lower part count total, plus I can focus on other mod features as well. Cons: less ability to customize the body of the vehicle. Custom Paintjobs: You can tweak any color on any piece of the vehicle via my custom painting plugin. RGBA values can be changed using handy-dandy sliders in the right-click menu of a part. So far, a maximum of four different color regions are allowed on a single part. Usefulness: The muscle car parts are all hollow and to scale, meaning you can walk around inside the cabin, stow materials and utilities in the cabin, trunk, or hood, and generally use these for cargo transport and other normal duties. Five-Star Safety Ratings: Each piece is heavily reinforced, meaning you can put these through stunts and situations that would normally destroy any other rover. Plus, if you do wipe out, your precious kerbals and cargoes inside have a much better chance at survival than if you used a regular rover built from stock parts. Frames are rated for 70 m/s impacts, wheels and frames rated to 100 m/s(Disclaimer: they are rated to SURVIVE impacts at these speeds. Breaking apart is still a possibility if they are not properly attached and reinforced. Also, the frames may be rated to 70, but that doesn't automatically mean that your cargo is...). Speed and Realistic Handling: These are muscle car parts, so you'd expect them to handle like a muscle car. And they do! They are light and drifty, for the drifters out there, and they go really really fast and are perfect for the impatient spaceman/kerbal who doesn't want to spend three years crawling towards an interesting looking formation at two meters per day. Also, they are good for awesome stunts! Another update! This time we have the 70% finished model of my 1969 Dodge Charger analogue, the "1969 Swerve Sprinter." And yes.... it can be painted to resemble the famous "General Lee" from the Dukes of Hazzard. After the pieces for this car are added to the mod, you can all look forward to inline garages(and possibly a spaceplane garage that functions like an elevator and drops the car down) to transport your muscle rovers to new worlds, as well as parts to make the W-12 Rawror function in oxygen-less environments! EDIT: 1969 Swerve Sprinter(69 Charger analogue) completed, release tomorrow!

Sup, I'm UnstableOrbit. I am a new user who just bought KSP two days ago after painstakingly building my very first gaming computer. I am a noob, but I do know some of the basics from watching streamers like Plexistan, Das, and from youtubers such as Scott Manley. I have managed to build one successful rocket and one successful spaceplane so far, and I can provide pictures to anyone interested. Anyways, I plan to open up my own KSP livestream, as well as make mods for the game. One mod I hope to start soon will add classic muscle car bodypanels, as well as automotive components. The idea is to be able to build rovers with a bit of style and speed(because seriously, who doesn't want to ramp a GTO off the lip of a crater?). I will need help with coding though, or at least a mentor, so yeah. That's all for now!
