Take it easy Mage, take care of your health.

Also nice to know if you stick them on very light rockets as a second stage, that it takes around 3 seconds for the engine to fire up after activating. These engines are also on the HUS/ICPS

They normally extend when you activate them (not in the VAB).

Why not do it yourself? Both can be downloaded.

Added Jupiter III. I recommend using Procedural Fairings but have included only stock and SSTU parts in this build.

Hey K!!! Good to see you here and to know you are OK, just busy with real stuff!!!

I've removed all links as all crafts are now located at:

All the sstu parts are current, but I dont know where the fasa launch clamp came from as I dont have fasa installed or any launch clamps in that file... I'll check it out in a few minutes. OK, found it. I also have an old topic for crafts from an earlier build, and the Ares V was linking to the old directory. My bad. The current link should direct to the one from the latest version.

Delta II and Ares V changed so they no longer require Procedural Fairings, to kepe it simple should you not have/want procedural fairings.

Yesm, but this author released the 1.8 test version (with missing parts) and never came back to finish it or integrate with the other 1.7 parts. So the impression is this mod was abandoned, having nothing to do with KSP 1.1. Maybe K is just busy IRL, we don't know.

Right click and download, for some reason the browsers just open it as a text file. I will add a brief description.

Saturn V added

The ones without links are not up yet, the other two I will check, maybe case sensitive. Fixed, I pointed to the wrong site

Fixed, sorry.

I'll add some more tomorrow, as it's late

Here's a link to the craft topic in Craft Exchange Contained so far: Delta II Delta IV Heavy (Orion) Ares I Ares V Saturn V SLS Space Shuttle Soyuz / R7 LC2 lander LC3 lander LC5 lander

The official craft repository for SSTU (Shadow Space Technologies Unlimited) NOTE: v1.3.0 files coming soon. Mage from the SSTU mod will be making a Github repository so that these files will be in a central location where other people can upload their stuff to as well via a Pull Request. I will be making a new forum thread with screenshots and links to each craft. Besides the real-scale replicas, there will also be craft files for the stock Kerbin system and contract missions. SSTU is an awesome mod by ShadowMage with modular parts to let you build a low parts count, high game performance, rocket with a number of highly configurable parts. See ShadowMage's topic on his SSTU mod here CLICK While it is still a Work in Progress [WIP], I and many other people, have been using it to make the most awesome rockets within KSP. Some players have even ported it through RO as is has a large variety of real world parts with dito looks (not stock kerbal). I really recommend checking out this fabulous mod!!! I've asked the creator of SSTU, ShadowMage, if it might be an idea to make an official craft repository for current users of the mod to share their builds, and for new users to get some example rockets as there are so many options and parts that it can be overwhelming. To start off I will add some of my favorite builds, some real and some just very useful for careers mode. If other people would like to share their SSTU builds, that would be awesome!!! The builds below are ready to fly and contain action groups where applicable (see description texts). The intent of the rockets was to build realistic looking rockets, so some of them will quite OP for the task they originally had, but fun and easy to fly none the less. They also show off about every part in the SSTU mod to give a clear idea what is possible. Enjoy!!! note Download the latest version of SSTU here: https://github.com/shadowmage45/SSTULabs/releases/tag/0.5.34.134 note To download the craft files below, right click on the link and select "save link as...". These files need to go into your ksp directory under ../saves/"mygamename"/Ships/VAB Third-party SSTU Expansions SSTU Expansion Pack by JoséEduardo - Extra textures, engines, clusters and other assorted parts, as well as a lot of patches to other mods like BDB and Kosmos for engine clustering etc. Jimbodiah's Patch Labs [coming soon] - Adds a lot of patches for my personal flavor of gameplay like extra engines, different resource setups, functionality/balancing and more goodies.

The command modules contain solar panels, rcs thrusters, docking port and a small reaction wheel, all in a single part. Stock legs and ladders are used to complete the landers. TIPS if you want to build your own lander 1.) On the LC pod select "enable bottom node", attach the engine, then attach the decoupler. 2.) On the decoupler, enable "hollow collider" to not get the engine snagged upon seperating.

Ooooh, SR71, I smell an SSTU plane-core

I can start a topic, maybe you can link to it in the first post? This way other people can also share craft files there. You can always include a selection in the last build. So far I have the landers, delta II, delta IV orion, ares I and V, SLS, Soyuz, shuttle, jupiter III and some other stuff. Maybe Jose and Blowfish have some additions of their own, or RO craft?

Mage. Seeing as 1.0.5 is halted, would it be an opportune time to make a craft repository? I have a bunch of stuff I'd like to place, as I get a lot of questions about SSTU and sharing some craft files might make things easier. Any way you would prefer it, like seperate topic, only on github etc?

I don't know why they just put up a download version like with 1.0.4/5.

OK!!! I just reinstalled 1.0.5 I can only take so many little tanks stacked on top of each other.

I liked 365, still able to use stock parts (non-RO) yet still need more energy to get into orbit and longer trips to moons etc.

LOL, is it that obvious?

Maybe just release the parts you have updated, kind of start fresh. That way stuff can be tested in the meantime?
