I've been slowly working on another science cruiser with a large interior made possible by the SKAT drive by @Jolly_Roger. I'm calling this one the Gator for obvious but initially unintentional reasons. Interior spaces and awesome airlocks inspired by @ShadowZone

Wow, still learning to use the munitions, I lost control trying to figure out where the offset thrust was coming from! At least I hit the flagpole and R&D!

Some nice looking ships! Gonna check out the Spritz.

Thank you! Enjoy! Thanks, it is feeling a bit better now, a week after zinging me! Still taking it slow and not using it much.

Thanks, it has been a bit awkward, but not impossible to build and fly one handed. I'm sure the SSTO could use further refinement, but it is one of my first successful cargo SSTO designs. Most, probably all, of my ships have too much TWR and too many engines, but I grew up a bit of a motor-head, stuffing huge engines into small cars. Never can have too much power and acceleration!

A few craft I've been working on for the challenges section of the forum, a mini shuttle and an SSTO. Both built 95% left handed after being diagnosed with carpal tunnel Tuesday

Here is my Mini Shuttle entry, I got to a very eccentric 348x75 orbit, went around a few times, then landed back at KSC. Still room for piloting improvement, but plenty of dV to orbit, deorbit, fly around for a while, then land.

Sweet rocket cargo space plane!

Successful test flight of an SSTO design I've been tinkering with. Submitted for K Prize challenge.

I have made a few medium cargo SSTOs for testing satellites and a few prototypes. Here is my K Prize entry, Orbit Adapter4 on a mission to launch a new Ion personnel transport.

Well, I used the last of the oxidizer in Kerbin orbit, nukes the rest of the way until landed on Minmus. After refueling, I could use rockets again, but no Darts, used Rapiers. I just downloaded it again, still not in AG8. No big deal, I added it to my copy in my SPH Noticed 3 not bound for nukes too

Nope, no oxidizer. And I used the Rapiers because the Darts didn't engage.

Yes, bays open, no darts toggle. Same in the SPH, nothing in AG8

Darts don't seem to be bound to 8 on mine

Not bad at all, I used the nukes with a blast or two from the rapiers to gain a little altitude

Yeah, ran out of oxidizer, but was also a little low on LF from some sloppy flying, and a lot of course tweaks, and almost too cautious slowing for my first landing. Def more a piloting issue

I got to orbit easily, and landed on Minmus with less than 100 m/s dV remaining! I was almost a little too cautious landing it for the first time. Back in Minmus orbit now, probably head to Duna next.

Pretty cool SSTA! Downloaded, will fly it soon!

I removed the spoiler from the experimental section, what's one more album at this point, right? Also, @Azimech you weren't mentioned earlier, but you are an intimidating inspiration to us all

Thank you! I have been inspired by several great builders here @Jolly_Roger @Cupcake... @Rune @Majorjim @Raptor9 @Nefrums @selfish_memeand dozens and dozens more. These forums are an awesome place to be inspired and share ideas, designs, dV calculations, workarounds, exploits, explosions, the completely absurd, and great triumph! I'm so happy to be able to contribute here and inspire others! Thanks, I started HUGE and worked my way to teeny! I use several mods, but tend to stay away from parts mods so anything that I come up with can be enjoyed on a stock vanilla install.

Welcome to Fairly Reliable Rocket Technologies! All of my somewhat ridiculous craft in one place! Most craft usually do not explode, YMMV depending on wind speed, solar flares, and Kraken attacks. All ships lightly tested to assure they are mostly functional, then turned loose on the unsuspecting public. Orbital Science Command Cruiser This monsterous cruiser is a mobile base of operations and mothership. It carries a full science lab, several landers and ion scooters for gathering science, and an ISRU for making fuel from ore shipments.

I've been doing some trials on Minmus with some hovering ion powered racers. Not sure why one was so much faster than the other, and there was some sort of slight malfunction Also, reorbit!

Very cool dropship, unfortunately my PC can't really handle it and I hover between 1 and 2 fps. Mostly 1. Love the details in the engine bay!

The MicroSub of Flying takes a quick trip to the island runway, a nice little submerge, then lands back at KSC!

Thank you! Honored to be included with the other fine craft this week. I'm happy to be finished with the hours of revisions, rebuilds and tweaking all of the panels etc, probably not as many as went into the high part replicas though!
