Stock 1.02 NCC-1701 similar craft, was fun to make. been constructing these on Twitch, come join us and feel free to share your input. contact info at bottom. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14986/screenshot14.png But my big longstanding project is an assembled version capable of sustained high acceleration and maintaining maneuverability, each of these requirements have presented hurdles but I believe they are solvable. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14986/screenshot12.png This craft is the first in my 1.0 series, it is not the first we have made but it was constructed after 1.0 was released and it has proven to be an attention getter. She is launched in 5 separate launches, the central frame, the saucer section, the engineering body, and each 'warp' nacelle. Conventional propulsion is its sole means of movement. This is stock KSP, EXCEPT heavy use of the partwelder mod, which has been used to reduce the partcount for both the saucer, and the frame sections. I have had to resort to constructing each modified frame in .90 KSP, and copy the welded part into 1.0. When partwelder is updated for use with 1.02 I will abandon this practice. This testing version has the angle of the nacelle arms set at 20 deg from horizontal. Two mainsails provide thrust on each nacelle. The saucer has three LV-909's (two for forward, one for reverse) that are not normally used but are there for maneuvering when not docked to the frame. The saucer section additionally has many Vernor engines for translation, pitch, and yay, and is incredibly balanced. After this live on stream construction we have had a ton of adaptation and additional test constructions here is a summary MZ-1701 25 deg frame (only change) streamed LP-1701 30 deg frame (only change) streamed KQ-1701 35 deg frame (only change) This was our first real success very little deflection on pitch due to nacelle placement able to push to limited 50% thrust sustained 1/3 thrust streamed KQ-1701 35 deg frame and added reaction wheel control to frame and double the number of mainsail engines to 4 per nacelle testing indicated sustained 50% thrust streamed JT-1701 36 deg frame here we got perhaps too ambitious we changed two things at once instead of just one, we made a 36 deg frame and added a metric ton of reaction wheels to it, the results were promising but because of the orientation of probecores and the standard control from the saucer issues instabilities arose streamed, which brings us right up to date, today 12 may 2015 the plan is to take the JT-1701 and set a fixed proper angle probecore for control from here goodness, and upgrade the thrust transfer capabilities of each nacelle where failures are occurring between the nacelle and the frame, its a lot of thrust. If you are interested come join us, and like has been said before your input will be appreciated, just don't be offended if either myself or someone else has already performed some testing to eliminate your suggestion.
