If I did it correctly it says I have 1885 m/s dV in a vacuum around Kerbin. Another problem is that if I add more fuel tanks then it becomes too heavy to reach space.

I'm building a flying fortress that's supposed to be able to defend LKO. https://kerbalx.com/drtricky/ABS-17-Nebula As of current I can't achieve LKO despite several hours of tweaks and attempts. Given it has over 300 parts and requires a mod I'd understand if no one downloaded it. So I'm just here to ask: Can anyone give me any general advice/tips for large SSTOs like mine?

@Eidahlil I second the motion.

The battleship hulls from LBP previously had ridiculous max temps, so much so that it takes several thousand 30 mm rounds to destroy one hull piece. But apparently those values have been "patched out" according to the current person running the mod. In order to allow them to have ridiculous durability, you have to delete a few config files and re-run the game to "patch in" the new temp values. Are you willing to follow the instructions they provided me in order to get my AA platform working properly? Another solution is to use an older version of LBP, which I can provide (It still works in 1.3.1).

@AlexClark What version of vessel mover do you use for 1.3.1? The only version I found stated it was for 1.2. And do you allow the usage of modded body parts, like the large boat parts pack?

Do you move SAM vehicles with vessel mover? I have a nearly-indestructible SAM vehicle that would function much better without wheels. This is not because it can't be supported by wheels, but because its so massive that brakes from stock landing gear don't work very well, and it tends to move as it takes hits. You may also want to take note that this SAM platform of mine received direct hits from ten missiles, and at least 2500 20mm rounds without exploding.

@AlexClark Did you download my aircraft yet? There were some missile settings I didn't like and I adjusted them.

So I've noticed that if I switch between SPH and flying, or reload from a previous point, the game always crashes after doing that two or three times. This problem has actually been occurring for me for over a year, and I always attributed it to limited RAM. But it still does this even though my new computer has 16 GB RAM, more than enough for KSP even with a few mods installed. How can I determine the cause of said crashing?

Aww man, I would've forfeited the fight so it could get get a spot on the list.

Welp, it was a good run for the Cool Ranch Dorito.

That's a lotta live ammo its got stored there.

I may not like drones, but I gladly welcome our giant mecha overlords.

@exbyde The Dorito was actually designed around the assumption that its missiles would not hit.

My own experience using the Abrams turret as a ground-attack weapon has shown it's extremely inaccurate unless the target is within ~2.5 km, which is the minimum max firing range for most other stock BDA guns. If it can barely hit within 2.5 km on a perfectly still target, I'd have serious doubts about its ability to hit airborne targets while airborne. But laser turrets are still OP as all hell.
