I would love to have a Shapeways model but can't afford it due to economic slump. Thankfully I have KSP to save money with (don't need new games) and an awesome new job but in the meantime, I sent out my entry :3

It just came to mind that after spending so much time in KSP I have designed my weekend routine around it, knowing how hours of my time will be sucked away to oblivion whenever I browse a facebook page or website about "planes that never flew", or having an idea to send cats into space to rendezvous with the Walmart Space Supercenter over Laythe. I wonder if anyone has any rituals before committing their little green men to the adventure of their lifetime. Here's some of mine below: So before each mission or build session I would ensure: - All household chores are secured, or delegated 'base personnel' to respective tasks All work related communications on whatsapp/email/etc are silenced for good The next meal is cooked / purchased and properly stowed, preferably something heavy in carbs like pasta or rice. In deep space, no one can hear your hunger pangs

Yes the M2 is ridiculously small, but scales well to the size of the Kerbals themselves. I do intend to build a semi truck with working 5th wheel hitch next, and that one will be much larger as I intend to follow the American sleeper cab template I am just wondering what to put inside the (huge) engine cowl as I am not using any internal combustion engine mods at the moment. Maybe a radial propeller engine to see a spinning fan inside, for lulz. @Nik_601 - really good designs! I will definitely take some inspiration and use more stock parts. Your O2 copters are great as well, simulating ducted fan appearance with the big SAS modules.

SCS Software, the creators of Euro Truck Simulator 2 made an April Fool's post about Kerbal Truck Simulator, so I replied with a sometime earlier this month.I took some time today to clean up the KMC M2 craft files so they are sharable. Two variants of the M2 electric truck are offered: 1) Crew Cab http://kerbalx.com/pandoraskitten/KMC-M2-Crew-Cab-Truck This is an all purpose configuration with a self-contained sleeper module, fuel tanks to service aircraft or small rockets, and a short bed strong enough to serve as a rocket launch pad. Feel free to modify the truck to any configuration you desire or use the chassis for other purposes. 2) Flatbed http://kerbalx.com/pandoraskitten/KMC-M2-Flatbed-Truck The flatbed can accommodate 5 meter payloads and is tested up to 8 tons with Tim Yam's custom cat command module.

Just played KSP for a short while to get my KMC M2 trucks sharable on kerbalX: http://kerbalx.com/pandoraskitten/KMC-M2-Crew-Cab-Truck

In the true spirit of Kerbal, this incredibly practical cart was found lying at the side of a road from Walmart and soon pressed into service as a next-generation exploration vehicle!

Introducing a new revolution in grocery getting! No more dropping the milk carton as you reach for that huge tempting pack of cheetos! The shopping trolley brought to you by Tim Yam's Spaceliner Corporation! Coming soon to a space Walmart near you! Download from: http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/229823-the-shopping-cart

The last ever mod created for KSP 0.90 promises a revolution in grocery shopping!

Definitely a Thubanian flying saucer I was tempted to name it the "Meow Mix"...

I will still retain 0.90 on my hard drive as a hangar for all my beta craft. I went from trainer jets to interplanetary ships within the span of the Beta period and I may still call upon the old workhorses from time to time. Some of the better designs/less ridiculous ideas will be ported over to 1.0 so long as they can play well with the new aerodynamics model, and the mod dependencies get updated quick enough. I don't mind rebuilding all my craft from scratch with each new major KSP update, but required about 3 weeks of work before they worked right!

Hi there, thanks for your nomination! @UpsilonAerospace Hmm, could I try my hand at applying for judging? PM sent! Also for the category of Best Showcase Video & Best Artistic Video I nominate my video, "Kitty Space Program Interplanetary Cat Explorer - A KSP Beta Tribute" that I made recently as a tribute to the end of KSP's beta phase. There are many tributes but this one is mine, a longtime lurker and slow learner building an interplanetary ship for the first time. (Yes, as someone with a learning disability, it takes me more than 7 years of playing Orbiter and KSP since alpha, to come this far lol) It's not well viewed currently - but I nominate it as I kind of stretched the limit in terms of what the basic camera tools we have can do to portray a ship in cinematic fashion by inputting ridiculous values into the camera tool add-on and sending the ship out of control on purpose to capture moving shots. One of the cat recon pods was also used as a stabilized camera drone to view the launch pad. The video ends in a long-take slow continuous flyby that likely is the limit of what my laptop can hold before the video recording software crashes. Also this is likely the first time a cat has went to space in KSP, in a self-assembling single launch interplanetary craft! Ambitious little kitty!

Welcome to Tim Yam's Spaceliner construction yard! Background: This thread functions as a showcase for Tim Yam's incredible adventures in the world of 3D modelling, where he has since January 2015 expressed his creativity by creating a personal vision of Kerbal future. A prosperous future where Kerbals reside in private orbital habitats, fly Klingon Birds of Prey to work, and shop at Wal-Marts in low orbit! While curious cats pounce between star systems in search of space tuna and galactic yarn in their very own Kitty Space Program. And, I, having for the past few months contributed to functional areas of the mod such as space cats, IVA pillows, and some aesthetics of space supermarkets, now have permission to serve as his chronicler and resident cat consultant. --------------------------------------------------- Project 1: Spaceliner Tim's first foray into the world of 3D modelling features the Banyan House luxury space residence and Eden geodesic resort dome in the spirit of Silent Running, complete with space lagoon and a bar! To maintain the prodigious upkeep of a luxury space station, a Maersk Interstellar cargo hauler command section, and luxury passenger spacecraft from the far-off Kushan Empire are also provided. Some time later, Tim then released models of two Klingon-derived Birds of Prey, one following the original design from Star Trek, and another "luxury" version made more comfortable by local Kerbin shipyards. It also has iPads on the command chairs! All are included in the below link plus the one and only six-star resort with integrated space pool and bar to ever take to the skies! Update 3 May 2015: The Walmart Space Supermarket is now part of the Spaceliner pack! >> Download Project 1: Spaceliner << --------------------------------------------------- Project 2: Meow Lander It is said that humans (and Kerbals) don't actually own cats. The cat is the true master of all humanity. In the far future, humans (and Kerbals alike) made a terrible mistake of granting their pets intelligence comparable to their own by way of cybernetic implants. As shown in the to this thread, this allowed cats to basically, take over the KSC with absolutely adorable results.I mean, look at them! Intrepid feline explorers bravely setting course into the final frontier, seeking out space tuna and unraveling the secrets of intergalactic yarn... aww how adorable! >> Download Project 2: Meow Lander & Scout Cat << --------------------------------------------------- Project 3: Walmart Space Supercenter Spaceship parking is 10,000 kash per entry! For all your space shopping needs! Discount rockets at very low prices! Now with FREE IVA view! Featuring animated loading bays for space truckers to deliver produce, spaceship parking lots and vending machines for all your favorite snacks! IVA will consist of a scene with long rows of Kerbals and/or space cats being hopelessly delayed because only two checkout counters are open... Walmart Download is part of the Spaceliner pack! Introducing a new revolution in Kerbal grocery getting! The shopping cart prevents over-eager Kerbals from dropping the milk carton while reaching for that oh-so-tempting pack of Cheetos! Just toss everything into the trolley and cruise the aisles like a boss! >> Download Shopping Cart << Orbital Walmart Coming soon! --------------------------------------------------- Known Issues [*=left]We are aware the fuel values for some craft needs adjustment, as the fuel and oxidizer levels should be 45% and 55% respectively. This will be corrected in a later release. [*=left]Newer models will feature progressively higher quality models and textures. Please be patient as Tim is learning 3D modelling as he goes! But considering how well the Kitty Space Program videos are turning out, I appreciate the sheer number of toys Tim is producing at a rate that can only be described as .... awesome!

CATS: All your space are belong to us Former human masters tremble and quake in their shoes as an army of housecats descend upon the Space Center! Taking command of the logistics wing, they ship strange cat-eared contraptions to the assembly building! A former NASA asteroid interception mission is retasked to carry a hastily assembled Cat Exploration Vessel into orbit - to begin its one year mission to seek out space tuna and unravel the secrets of intergalactic yarn! It reads like something out of pulp fiction and it might as well be, but the Kitty Space Program plays out like The Cat From Outer Space in reverse! Featuring custom ship modules by Tim Yam, it's my final tribute to KSP Beta - enjoy! Meow lander mod page: http://kerbal.curseforge.com/ksp-mods/229570-the-meow-lander

CATS: All your space are belong to us! This is my last video production for KSP Beta, but it heralds a new beginning for a race of sentient former housecats taking to the stars in search of space tuna and intergalactic yarn.

The Cat UFO and Scout Cat models are by Tim Yam, and can be downloaded from here: http://kerbal.curseforge.com/ksp-mods/229570-the-meow-lander

Coming soon: A group of desperate house-cats take to the stars in search of space tuna and unfurl the secrets of intergalactic yarn. And raid an orbital Wal-Mart to resupply along the way.

Inspired by the audacious successes of "little green men" of the Kerbal Space Program, a group of well-furred aristo-cats have begun funding for the Kitty Space Program. Please welcome your new feline overlords as they ship their first space-going vessel, the CSS Kitty Hawk, to the KSC for testing.

Video of parody "Kerbal Truck Simulator"

Kerbal Truck Simulator! It's just like Euro Truck Simulator, only cuter. Mrs. Kerman drives a truck carrying Jeb "Jetman" Kerman's sky-storming possessions.

I've been poking fun at Velvet Sundown which is a roleplaying 'dramagame'. Basically the whole point of it is to talk to people to progress the plot. No NPCs, all other scenario participants are people. It used to have problems with people abusing the game but these days there seems to be serious people around. Just cross fingers you don't appear as a character destined to get ignored after the initial round of chats because he/she doesn't have a natural looking plot assigned. I've also been poking around with Moonbase Alpha which is a hilarious demonstration of what can go wrong when you send people to the Moon without training. Or knowing how to use the English language to communicate in a coherent and constructive fashion. The last game I am trying this weekend is "Unturned" which seems like the best of the bunch and is free in Early Access - It's minecraft with zombies. I repeat, minecraft with zombies!

More realistic looking truck cab for Jeb "Jetman" Kerman's Mobile Lunch Platform. Mrs. Kerman went for a short test drive earlier.

For superior supersonic stability and to shift CoL forwards against Mach effects I created a variable geometry forward swept wing design here:

I revamped the entire cab section of my truck to make it look more realistic and modern. Mrs. Kerman took it out for a test drive.
