Exoplanetary jet engines
Rath replied to Angeltxilon's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
I want electric props, and a fuel burning one in In the first node. Give us a straight wing, fixed landing gear and a simple flap too. nuclear Jets would be cool, but they must have a TWR under 1- 10 replies

Added the beginnings of the SEP-1 Series suborbital rockets. -
Can we talk about Life Support?
Rath replied to Pthigrivi's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
I want food and oxygen. Maybe water too, so if you had a massive laythe base, it might be more worthwhile to drive a river to the ocean, than to try and drill for it. I think that all LS needs to be an option. Thjs system would require 5 LS tanks (each size and radial). A scrubber would slow oxygen consumption. Greenhouses would need power, and make food and air. There could be 1.25 and 2.5m versions, where only the super heavy 2.5m one, in large quantities, could result in a closed cycle. -
Make the stability enhancer distance tweakable
Rath replied to John FX's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Ummm... No. If you have a tower, sure. No tower, ALL OF THE STABLE. If your rocket looks realistic, it might meet physics after he's had too many beers, and the top will wobble. -
One engine to rule them all
Rath replied to Nich's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Make bell curves change with ISP, thrust change combustion chamber size. Provide a few different base models too. Ssme style, Saturn v model, shuttle oms, ion, monoprop (similar to the little radials), -
Science for Kerbol's Far Heliosphere
Rath replied to GarrisonChisholm's topic in KSP1 Suggestions & Development Discussion
Give us a Kuiper belt with type F and G roids, and super low sun biome that needs a shielded craft to reach too. -
I saw TB3 and wondered when we started talking about 1939s Soviet bombers. :/ I need to stop hanging out with history nerds.

One of my favorite things about the forum is that we have these big projects to devlop stupid things that the game was never meant for -
I really like the mods here too They actually do their jobs.

The "You know you're playing a lot of KSP when..." thread
Rath replied to Phenom Anon X's topic in KSP1 Discussion
When you try to use the olberth effect while running cause a turn is by a tree. -
I love building pretty things that look, develop and function like real rockets, that's why I play sandbox. I set my own goals, don't use certain parts (for their intended purpose) if I think my space program shouldn't have them in the context of this save (each of my saves has a massive role play segment). For example, I don't use anything other than the whip antenna as an antenna, but the strip and the tube-dish are cool looking as structural parts. I do realistic mission progression too--flyby, orbiter, impactor, probe lander, kerballed flyby, kerballed orbit, kerballed landing, base/ISRU station. to continue the minecraft analogy, I first played creative (there was barley survival then) but even when it got better, I only played it a few times. It's a lot more fun on multiplayer. Career mode will be too I bet.

So this is the place I will consolidate many of my crafts that I post to the forum. SEP-1 Series This is a series of suborbital rockets, mainly focused on a realistic aesthetic and development process. I am in cambodia with terrible wifi, and because there is ~20 diffrent models and upgades, this may be posted a bit later. SEP-1 The first version of the rocket. Sports a small LES and an LVT-45 with an small fairing. http://imgur.com/bd0yvSu https://www.dropbox.com/s/sq37fshv8mhvmpu/SEP-1.craft?dl=0 SEP-1B The second version of the rocket. Features a lower stage stretched by ~1.5m. The LES is modified to improve functionality. http://imgur.com/siDHfqf https://www.dropbox.com/s/ewx9yzas6jyyye8/SEP-1B.craft?dl=0 SEP-1C adds an extra clamp at the top of the rocket. http://imgur.com/65xRltU https://www.dropbox.com/s/pwdftl9ag8nf14l/SEP-1C.craft?dl=0 SEP-1D Fixes fuel flow issues and adds (100% prettiness based) gimbaling hydraulics. http://imgur.com/7vUVNGc https://www.dropbox.com/s/4p4yrdhzta2tmn0/SEP-1D.craft?dl=0 SEP-1E Moves one of the clamps to the other side of the rocket to solve seperation issues. Underwhelming, I know :/ http://imgur.com/7Y8hOjP Sorry folks, im all out of time, so here is the download for the entire series: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/il2v5d37ek7gopr/AAAPBQz0oEp6-dluJY5fDVPqa?dl=0 ME-293 A 100% fictional jet fighter aircraft, made in a late-war german style. Top speed is ~200m/s at 1000m with each engine producing 10.5kn of thrust(65 thrust limiter for more realistic performance.) Max climb angle with 10.5kn (About jumo 004 max thrust) per engine: ~17 degrees. Max speed in vertical dive from 6000m to 1000m is ~304m/s. There are two small bulges under the cockpit in order to hold more fuel and Mk103/108 cannons. The monopropellant is kept in the cockpit to represent the weight of the guns ammunition. Here is a download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/:/ME-293.craft?dl=0 KS2X 'Uno' This is a early-modern jet fighter based around a US military project that involved fitting two modified jets into a single fuselage in a line. One of the results of this would be that the US military wouldn't have a repeat of the PO-2 (1920's soviet biplane cropduster used as a bomber, credited with the only biplane-to-jet air kill, when an starfighter jet (?) slowed down too much to engage one, and the aircraft stalled and crashed) in Korea situation, where the enemies aircraft was so slow, the fast jets couldn't get their guns on it because the aircraft could run at low and high speeds. The first jet was modified to run as cool as possible, and the second was reinforced against heat. An afterburner was also included. A later model had the first engine being capable of rotating the fan blades horizontal to the airflow, in order to allow only the back jet to be run for long haul cruises. To replicate this programs planned result, I clipped two engines together, cause it seemed cool to include this. The project was rejected because of the need for brand new airframes that scared the aerodynaisicts (is this a word???!!!) cause of the length of the engine and need for a lot of fuel. The action groups are 1 for afterburners, 0 for one engine off, 9 for the other engine off. Abort for drogue parachute. There are two 100 LF drop tanks under the wings. http://imgur.com/94w0rCg Here is a download:https://www.dropbox.com/s/kp20izxpaqupykv/KS2X%20%27Uno%27.craft?dl=0 KA-55 Perigrine This aircraft is an ww2 style prop plane, with an engine inside an openable cowling just for looks. It has a crappy turn radius, and a even worse top speed (ww2 you see). Action groups are 1 for flaps, 5 for opening cowling, six for closing it. Top speed ~100m/s in a test that took <1min and 1300m. http://imgur.com/J4StW7Z Here is the download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/wuluaoy8ttqhx7u/KA-55%20Perigrine.craft?dl=0 A2K366 Bomber This aircraft is a two-engine modern schnellbomber (fast bomber) with two turbo-ramjets. This model carried two unguided, gyro-stabilized .625m diameter rockets externally, attached to the fuselage. This plane is pretty, fast and decently turning, but the energy retention is a war crime. It reeeeeaaaallly low wing loading too. http://imgur.com/We5g3WG Here is a download:https://www.dropbox.com/s/yswkfidvqpobhjc/A2K3366%20Bomber.craft?dl=0 Kerbolev Civ. Div. 1 Just to prove not everything I make is militaristic (Racing crafts, i mean. No! I want to be able to leave a room! Help! Anyone! Help! Hel--BANG!) here is a nice, happy, great, amazing peoples aircraft where nothing bad can ever happen! Any similarities to the ME-923 in the tail are many coincidence! Great peoples government says so! No missile bases in the background! Is for launching Satellites to tell you the Truth with glorious governments Television! And the real thoughts of the people! http://imgur.com/KlfGVUD Here is a download:https://www.dropbox.com/s/f1nfln1edhuid9j/Kerbolev%20CIV_%20DIV_-1.craft?dl=0 I'll put up more later Kerbolev Civ. Div 2 This aircraft is a jet-powered passenger and cargo bush flying boat, that can cary 8 kerbals. it also has racks under the wings for large amounts of cargo, the one in the download is carrying heavy girders, to build a big thing out in the faraway place where the bad people go to become the good people but you never see them again, little Valentina. The version in the download cannot take off from water with the construction load, but in can use the land wheels to lift off. Without too much cargo, the aircraft takes off fine from the water. http://imgur.com/3k49WyY Here is a download: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8jbatcf7w28puqt/Kerbolev%20CIV_%20DIV_-2.craft?dl=0

Open Source Construction Techniques for Craft Aesthetics
Rath replied to GusTurbo's topic in KSP1 The Spacecraft Exchange
Can we just not talk about the IPS switch please. must not rant. Must not rant. I still keep this page in-reloaded, just so I can observe the old forum: http://imgur.com/NdHpqwb I can't get normal imgur images to work on my phone -
i think a few German prototype aircraft that looked like allied planes, particularly spits, got some yellow too. Sadley I don't have a working kerbpiant. production defects did increase though because of two things: A, allied bombing resulted in factories being a bit jurry-rigged. B, Ironing out problems took backseat to production speed
-
Actually, painting the whole plane yellow would fit the germans. Please observe the 109 engine bloc, and the undersides of the captured wellingtons, b-17s and b-24s. PS the dual flameouts on the third picture represent the reliability of the late-war german vechiles very well. The allied bombing made the german things have almost as many random productions defects as the russians.
