Mad Rocket Scientist

I love the way stock fairings are built, I can live with how they separate, but don't love it, but my least favorite part of the fairings is how they look. They don't match the stock art style at all.

Thank you! However, I was survive landing just in the water, no Better Buoyancy OR large, flat, exploding platforms.

I succeeded in "Landing" a plane on a boat:

Cargo lander stats: TWR: 8.32 Delta-V: 564 Parts: 621 Mass: 52.7t Height: 4.1m Width: 3.7m Length: 11.4m

I call it "Missle Boost"

10/10 On my friends list.

I don't need the force, I have pilot assistant: Flying at 20 meters above the waves, at 800m/s. At 15 meters, it crashed.

Sorry for no updates, I've been taking a quick break to build some aircraft. How to prevent it from exploding from speed... Hmm...

As something of a replica builder myself, I have to say: I don't. Some of the stuff I replicate has dimensions, but since the Kerbol system is about .64 of real life, I just eyeball it from reference drawings. I also read up a bit on what I'm building, so I can understand what is inside it, and I can replicate it better.

Yeah, it was a hairy "Landing". For hab, I used 6 mk2 crew cabins offsetted and rotated into a curve. Thanks for the stats, tomorrow I will add my stats. How are you deorbiting? I use a lfo RCS block.

Munlorf! You sneak! Why don't you test fly it! Ha Ha Ha! (Actually, I'm testing it unmanned). Flying it right now, I will keep you posted. More struts: The engines fell off: EDIT: 2nd Try: I came down on a slope, and tried to find a level spot.

Shhh, this Munlorf Kerman using MRS' account, I took some screens of MRS' crew lander, and uploaded it, here you go: EDIT: 271 Parts.

Added! Great replica!

Wow, how could I have I missed this? Would you like to be partners with AMRSD?

Well... don't tell anyone, but... thrust limiters, Nothing happening here, folks, move along, move along. P.S. That's for the cargo lander, I haven't got to that point with the crew lander.

Well, from this video*, the DIPS is in both, but not the FSPS, which kind of makes sense, after all, you don't want to store RTG near the crew, but I don't know what the 2nd DIPS is for. Sorry about the lag, I was amazed at the difference between 600 and 400 parts. *At this point:

Yes, my sub wants to destroy your tanks, too. Actually, my sub probably would lose in a fair fight, it's missles are poorly designed, and it's armor is nonexistent.

I think they only go on the cargo lander. Can't wait to see your SPR, and yes, I did go for a pod-based SPR. The faces are there because the forums turn "[noparse][/noparse]" in to ":D", as in "Craft[noparse][/noparse]one" "Craft:Done". Also, you're so close to done! Congrats, I think you'll finish first!

That would be great! Just post a album or picture, a DL link, and a quick description. Don't worry, KJR is a great mod, have fun!

Well, let's see... I finished this Constellation style lander: Inspired by Majorjim's constellation mission.

I've trimmed my cargo lander down to 423 parts.

Awesome! I can't wait!

So, where are you guys in terms of hardware? Which of these do you have? Ares I: Ares V: Orion: Altair: NTRPS: MTV: Cargo lander: Crew lander: SPR: I have: Ares I: Yes Ares V: Yes, but needs testing Orion: Yes Altair: Yes NTRPS: Yes, but needs testing MTV: No Cargo lander: 75% Tested Crew lander: No SPR: Going through another rebuild I think that's it, if you don't want to answer one of the questions, don't worry.

Clever use of parts! EDIT: New SPR rebuild:

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'm working on cleaning it up, I'm of two minds about the cubic struts. First, they sort of look like the structure on it, and they add a bunch of parts, so if I hide them, I might as well use a more parts friendly solution. On the other hand, well... they add a lot of a parts, and don't look so great. As to the ramp, it is designed to clip through the DIPS, but I didn't unbind it from wasd, so it moved around a bunch. Part count: 621. Nasty, right? EDIT: For example, this test, with *just* 420 parts:
