Made this really tiny jet; not very useful, but really compact.

I call it "The Hulk"
Cool, but The hulk would use four engines, so make it more kerbal
On another note, I have created a new airdrop rover series, right to left. DobDrop 01, 02, and giant unpilotable monster (03)

Fact: This is one of the best KSP fanfictons ever.
I've been gone from this thread for a long time, what did I miss? I might have to read the whole thing from the beginning, but the story is so good I probably wouldn't mind anyway
From what I can understand, this is the story arc as set up:
1: Construction of Emiko Station, battle against Thompberry's UFO kraken things
2: Thompberry becomes a brain case, and takes over the KSC
3: Discovery of magic boulders, Thompberry's alliance, discovery of Emiko
4: Kraken possession, Emiko's story, Parka's capture (?)
Oh yeah, and Emiko's asteroid is a magic kraken portal set up to invade kerbin.
Did I miss anything?

KSP is an awesome game, and has many facets to it. Most importantly, there is stark contrast between bravely exploring the unknown and laughing at your attempts blow up.
however, you can also:
Launch awesome rockets, summon glitches, blow stuff up, build planes, do awesome challenges, record cinematics, make youtube videos, and many, many other things.

"Follow your dreams, get carried off by your imagination"
"Doesn't matter as long as you have fun"
"Sometimes, being a fool is cool"
"Be you, be unique"
I believe KSP is simply an open world sandbox that at its core, has no quest, no goals, and no impossibilities. It's simply building something unique, breaking new ground, and going far past what others say is possible. Individualism is key.

Sometimes, I think SSTOs are too complicated...

This, my kerbals, is the Mouse Great Drone.
Although originally conceived to operate in numbers, the huge aircraft proved too cumbersome for the AI to fly. However, it still has that big gun!
Speaking of GUN, there's a priority target, an ICBM!
FIRE NOW!
Well, I missed, but I accidentally leveled half the R&D.
*LATER*
Well, I fired the GAU-8 peashooter to try to shoot the missile down, and a single 30mm round managed to connect with the tower. However, my aircraft connected with the astronaut complex.
Moral of the story:
even big guns can have their faults. There are currently two paths:
1: Use smaller, easier to operate aircraft
2: Use a gun so big that it is impossible to miss

The Revamped Stories of Bill Kerman (And Bob and Val as well!)
Chapter 1: A Financial Crater
It had been 3 years since Jeb left the KSC in disrepair. After an accident left the VAB in ruins, the space program began losing governmental support, and money was running out fast. At that very same time, Jebediah Kerman, the chief test pilot, set out on a mysterious journey, off across the Kerblantic Ocean, where no kerbal had ever flown before. "I will be back, he assured everyone."
And, 3 years later, Jeb still had not returned. Like a firework going up in the sky, and leaving no trace of an explosion. The KSC is in ruins, and only a miracle contract could possibly save it.
It would seem that Jeb had abandoned the Kerbal Space Program, to leave it in ruins forever...
But did he?

Blue and red, how interesting...
It looks very EVIL...
But I cannot be sure.
Because Emiko is like a kraken lure portal thingy made to torment the kerbals, I suppose that is either a kraken ship, one of thompberry's old saucer thingies, or an evac vessel.
You clip the thingymabob into the magic rock, and bits of it come out the other somewhere end. Hmmmm....
Wait... it has legs, maybe it is some sort of creature saucer magic boulder thingy, or a vessel possessed by a magic floating rock! (Revelation?)

If this contest was based on UGLY:
I've got it covered.
THIS ABOMINATION is the "Closet Accident."
-
1. That thing looks like some space probe, maybe it has something to do with gravioli? Has lots of solar panels. Maybe it is ion powered.
2. Also, maybe emiko's class e asteroid was flung here by the krakens to spy on the kerbals. The kraken knew that the kerbals would be able to redirect it, and put it in orbit.
3. If my understanding of the space arches is correct, the magic boulders and arches helped fling the emiko space potato over from another star.
On another note, I'm working on a new story, as disconnected adventures is so far not working.
However, there are more on topic things to discuss. Are the magic boulders made by the kraken, or sentient beings? Are they misunderstood? Do they know what they are doing? Or are they simply going about their silicon based lives?
Who are the kraken? How powerful are they? Why are they possessing kerbals? Are they playing with the kerbals, like higher order beings, or just psychics?
Find out in chapter 63......?

Here's something rather different for this thread....
An aircraft with a gun heavier than itself (A Karl Great 041 540mm. I need to strafe things!)

- There are some things to consider:
- Many flat earthers are trolls
- Some are against the round earth because of emotions, not actual evidence (We're the last stand to stop pancake earth from falling into evil hands, we're the minority, etc.)
-
Some of the real, scientific round earth facts are changed in their conspiracies, for example
- Tides are from gravity, but flat earthers throw gravity out the window and say it's from magnetism
-
Vsauce's video from page 3 (The spotlight sun could cause the round earth measurements to be off-course,
but of course, most of the explanations for flat earth are made up on the spot.)The rest was censored because it disproved them.
-
They say things like:
- A SUN that is so far away?!? ASSUMPTION! How do you know that the evidence is not faked?
- A spotlight sun? (With even less evidence proving its existence) FACT! 100%
- What NASA and the planet knows is not 100% proved to be true. It's a theory (With a mountain of evidence) after all.
- The FLAT EARTH "Theory" THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO? THAT IS FACT! 100% (Doesn't make sense now does it? Whatever they say has an inherent advantage over round earth theories. Flat earth is somehow more provable, like a 100% true fact. Isn't every fact doubtable?)
- And while that chaos unfolds, they say "Why assume anything at all?" as if their own theory could not be an assumption as well.
-
Their "Facts" have more holes than a swiss cheese that stepped over a military checkpoint. For example,
-
Fact 1: Earth is still, because of ether that would slow it down. (They ignore the fact that ether is impossible to exist, due to relativity, possibly because relativity and gravity have been thrown out the window.)
- Fact 2: Everything moves around the earth. (What about ether? The slow-down substance that apparently exists?)
-
Fact 1: Earth is still, because of ether that would slow it down. (They ignore the fact that ether is impossible to exist, due to relativity, possibly because relativity and gravity have been thrown out the window.)
- Then again, flat earth theories are usually wishy washy sentences spewed out on the spot that don't connect, and always change whenever they are disproven to not be disproved.
- At the end of the day, it's just best to ignore these people and play KSP. After all, a reaction is most of what they want from you.
- Also, basically everything we know is a theory. Searching for irrefutable truth is hard both physically and mentally, and has the risk of going insane from overthinking. Maybe it's not even possible to find the truth 100% yet, or even ever.

People who say we havent been to space mostly say ''Have you been to space before? If you dont, then how can you confirm it!''. Thats absolutely garbage. That also mean Canada does not exist. My friends have never been there, wich means nobody i can confirm Canada exist, so it just does not. And flat-earthers totally forget about rocket-science, the easy mechanics that make alot of sense. I once heard a flat-earth boi say. ''The fastest way to go to space is to go up, not go sideways in an arc!'' Wich is absolutely stupid. Everybody who denies space exploration should play KSP. I once did not believe Apollo 11 happend, but after i stuffed some KSP in my brain, I changed my mind.
Conspiracy theorist: DONT YOU SEE? IT"S ALL ABOUT DA BALL EARTH! THEY ARE MAKING GAMES TO FLASELY TEACH YOU ABOUT DA BALL EARTH!
Conspiracy theorists don't know anything about what they think is physics, so they think it is ridiculous. They may know less than I knew about space when I was about 10. They don't know that rockets need multiple stages to orbit, or what gravity is. They probably think that gravity stops at space, and this orbit stuff is SNAKE OIL THEORY ABOUT DA BALL EARTH ITS ALL A BUNCH OF PYTHONS
Their knowledge of physics is that of a kid cartoon...
This is what most flat-earthers or space program fakers think a TRUE rocket looks like...

Because gravity is a lie.
The disk Earth is accelerating upwards at 32 feet/sec^2, which causes the appearance that gravity exists and pulls things down.(Yes, I have seen this "theory" in the wild.)
So the earth moves up onto US right?
MEANWHILE IN FLAT EARTH WEBSITE 1980s
"Objects, (Including earth) cannot be moving, as there is the ether that light travels through, which would produce drag.
So earth is still right?
And there is drag so objects can't keep on moving correct?
ALSO MEANWHILE
The moon, and sun, along with all of the universe, moves around the earth.
What about the drag caused by the ether? Isn't that what stops the earth?
FACT: Flat earthers still haven't studied the theory of relativity yet. (To be fair, I haven't either, I think it is relative velocity compared to spacetime and other objects)
In addition, they are still using pre-Newtonian physics. All else is fake because it disproves them. Although all the primary physicists have evidence behind them, they are still "full of holes" That is, if you knock out a few unimportant aspects like GRAVITY and RELATIVITY. THEN, ether seems reasonable, and earth can be flat.
Also better to know that the flat earth theory was formerly "The system" to US, and we were the minority. Now, roles have switched. Truths can change with gain of knowledge.
Then again, some flat-earthers are actually trolls who do know that earth is round, so the best thing to do is chill and play some KSP.
-
The video claims that all we know is an assumption, like all the maths and the moon landing, but while that at least has some proof, the "Spotlight Sun" has no proof at all. (Strange right?) and the flat earth society believes that if we were on a round earth, we would FALL OFF THE SIDE!
Also, the SpaceX conspiracy theorist never provided any evidence to why he thinks it can happen. All he said was, "This cannot be real. I don't believe it." That is the problem with the reasoning.
Similar to me saying THIS can't happen.

10/10 would raccoon cat dog again

Here is the LeftLiner Mk2, now with double the passenger capacity! It also has unique forward facing windows!
-
Granted, but the big bosses of the earth economy shut down the ISS (And nasa, the European space agency, and the Russian space program) before it can be used, because they spent all their money on golden jumbo jets.
I wish that squad would implement an upgraded .625 meter Juno engine with hight thrust vectoring and afterburner.
-
Maybe a HarvestR Memorial next to the old Mk1 command pod?
-
I come back as a ghost and curse you so that you are the explosion.
I wish someone would come in an su-25 and take me to Russia directly.
-
Granted, (blub glub) but time warp can only take you so far..
(blub blub)
maybe if I wish for a humongous yacht, I can escape rlin jones' locker.
-
Granted, you are in an arctic desert.
Granted, you have to eat it.
I wish for a Boeing 747 so that I can fly to Russia and ask them about my orders for two helicopters.
But I cannot be sure.
And there is drag so objects can't keep on moving correct?
Also, the SpaceX conspiracy theorist never provided any evidence to why he thinks it can happen. All he said was, "This cannot be real. I don't believe it." That is the problem with the reasoning.
What did you do in KSP1 today?

I already had a packer mk3 cargo aircraft....
So I glued two together and tried to make a seaplane
A flipped plane and several explosions changed my mind
