The Optimist

Looks more like a UAV than the A-10, because of the thin wings and the overly long fuselage. Not a bad first craft though.

Spacecraft: "Space: The final frontier. Join the crew of the U.C.S. B4D@$$ on their everlasting mission to explode as many aliens as possible..." -MLG space adventures, episode 420 Hauberk-Class Medium Frigate "Cooooooool!" Armed to the teeth and decently protected, this cruiser is capable of interplanetary missions with its Ion thrusters, starting engagements with its nuclear motors, and attacking with its chemical engines. It also has a small escape pod which may be used to board enemy ships. The Hammer missiles are capable of destroying similar craft with a single direct hit, while the sepratrons can cause severe damage to vital components at most ranges. It's also very, very bad at atmospheric flight, so don't even try to use it there. Endurance-class Heavy Destroyer Ugly as all hell, this small craft is decently maneuverable and heavily armored. Equipped with 8 sepratron missiles and 2 guided ones, this ship can take down lighter targets with ease. Its primary function is a secondary support craft, with the guided missiles giving it a long range fighting chance. Image shown is with one rocket fired. The I-beams on the front are for a last-ditch effort to knock the enemy out, and are designed to smash through wing parts and fuselage components. One ship was recorded to have went through a larger enemy battlestation, destroying it without firing a shot.

Have you tried mounting the sepratrons in the front of the missile? It makes them more stable and less explodey, but at the cost of appearance.

Damn, that necropost.

Do the sepratrons on the lower I-beam rockets make the decouplers explode?

Good work! Though I don't think they were ever used in the Afrika Corps, and that camouflage pattern was never used. But still, very impressive. Does the gun traverse?

New variant incoming! The PL-0WR modification makes this model more potent and more controllable. It's also 40% less phallic! And featuring the new patented Quad-Tri-Bi-Cycle technology! Downloads coming tomorrow, too lazy right now

This thread is where shooty things and murdery things I've made go. I don't want my craft in the intro, so I'll make a long, empty list about my current projects. And all of my tanks and some of my ships have fully functional turrets, which I designed myself. So, they're at least semi-functional, and you can convert them to your heart's desire with BDarmory. As such, they are prone to falling apart occasionally. Scroll down past the Current Projects list for the ships. FAR is installed, and every plane is designed for it. Download links will be provided upon request. Due to my inability to make spoilers with any efficacy, I have separated my 3 types of craft (Land, Space, Air) into 3 separate sections. Tell me if you want to use one of these in a video or a showcase (hint, hint). My ships are below this line: __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Land Vehicles "May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won’t." -John Cena Heavy + MBT tanks T-43 "Shortsword" & USC HT-22 C.R.S.A T-43 "Shortsword" (far) A Soviet-style MBT, this prototype is equipped with a new cubic strut based bearing for the turret, a experimental rover wheel suspension system (not shown) and a hidden layer of I-beams protecting the vital components from any nasty sharp things headed its way. The turret is less fragile than the contemporary wheel, based bearings, and even houses 2 Kerbals. Total crew of 6, maximum. Layered radiator panels rapidly dissipate the impact of a missile, and the tank itself is rated to withstand a high-penetration 32 Sepratron I-beam to any of the sloped angles, and 40 at the front. As this is a prototype, the angled armor is not optimal, but it's relatively effective. USC HT-22 "Castle" (close) A massive heavy tank armed with an enormous 220mm high velocity gun. Designed to liberate those communist C.R.S. with maximum effectiveness! Sporting 3 layers of Patriotic engineering in mostly 90 degree angles, because deflections are for communists! It has a slow max speed but it will win eventually! Holds up to 8 soldiers, necessary crew is 3. It can also drive on top of the T-43, so that's something. Can survive a orbital strike, but that's a story for another day. C.R.S.A T-53 "Claymore" The big brother of the T-43, this version sports a double- layered gun bearing and even heavier armor, plus a new 4-track wheelbase. Extremely durable, though slightly lacking in gun traverse range. Version pictured is partially operational, but still requires some polish. Here's the alternate configuration, with the same armor (Though not angled) and a lower profile. The unangled variant can be destroyed by multiple hits to the front, but retains functionality to a absurd degree. HT-52 (AT-52) Super Heavy Tank This privately designed armored vehicle sports thinner armor than most tanks of its class. However, it is angled to provide maximal effective thickness and is practically impregnable from the front. Designed for medium range combat, it is able to absorb impacts from practically any currently used ammunition, with the exception of the HEAT-esque ones using frontal thrusters to melt the steel plates. It is also much lighter than the comparable HT-22, and more mobile. However, shots from the side are still a risk, and its turret's traverse speed leaves much to be desired. Medium + Combat Tanks: ST-3 (Scout Tank) More pics soon! Equipped with a external wheelbase for maximum speed, this vehicle is designed for fast forays into enemy territory. Faster than most other vehicles of its class, it trades protection for its exceptional mobility. In addition to this, a frontal turret hit may be rendered ineffective by the sheer angling of the turret sides. Royal Armored Vehicle Batallion Type 42 Designed to withstand multiple hits without heavy armor, this tank fails miserably at its goal. However, it has exceptional handling and is famously reliable, giving it a good reputation in the R.A.V. During a battle, reportedly a single I-beam passed through the wing boards and left through the other side, leaving the crew unscathed. Also it has a octagonal turret, which makes it look much more interesting than the blocky turrets that are common in these parts. Up-armored variants are available upon request. Tank Destroyers: TD-2 Gun Motor Carriage A relatively new design, this monstrosity is equipped with a modified MBT turret housing a 140 mm high-penetration cannon. It has light armor by design, but there are modified versions sporting 6-layer metal armor, converting this sniper into a more close-range role. But due to the lack of angling, it's vulnerable to direct hits, even against the relatively thick frontal plate. Use with caution. The turret is also equipped with a french fry machine and a soda pop dispenser, for those gun battle induced cravings, as requested by many tank operators waiting for the perfect angle to shoot. __________________________________________________ Current Projects: Ground Vehicles - Remade T-53 Heavy Tank (ETA 3 days) - Optimize miniature prototype tank.

There's this one 100 ton massive ring interstellar ship that I abandoned when it got flung out of the Kerbol system by a unlucky gravity assist from Laythe. It and its crew of 5 kerbonauts are doomed to float forever in the void. Or at least until I get to the massive orbit's apoapsis, which is in 230 years.

Hello. I made this thread for some reason. I regret doing so. Please delete it

When you don't even have to start the engine to get into space.

"Monkey with the files"

I think that the orange suits come back after a couple of real life hours. May just be a rumor, though.

I'm actually Canadian DON'T tell anyone.

I read that book about ten years ago

doesn't look very space-age to me

What?

Does this truly warrant a entire thread?

No tractor? heh

We're going to need a cover-up.

That's a pretty overengineered rocket if I've ever seen one, but congrats. Today I corrupted my long-time sandbox save file! Time to shift those craft files.

Requires > 90 IQ = "Mundane" Also, notice the fact that the video of gameplay is from 2013, while it's a 2016 article. Bias!

I think the research is partially just adjusting existing technologies for the space age. I mean, look at the description for the electrical engineering research node.
