The Tournament will delayed indefinitely. Updates will come in the following few weeks. Thank you for your consideration.

Thought it would bring more eyes to the tournament and bring in people who would otherwise ignore it. It wasn't a typo, simply an overestimation. It was based on having two of Script's Jormungand class carrier. In hindsight, considering the part limit, I think 800k is far more reasonable. I am not going to limit the number of deployable craft, just to see how people form their fleets. If one team runs out of ammunition, it will be considered a draw. From their, moderation will look over the reasoning and take action from their. This tournament is going to be rather slow, depending on how many people join. Most fights will occur over the weekend, so it should be fine!

The Space Warfare Tournament 2019 Greetings Kerbonauts! I am here to introduce the Space Warfare Tournament 2019! A competitive ranked battle where players duke it out in space with stock fleets of their own design! Many of you have undoubtedly come across series such as the Spirit of Kerbin and Kethane Station; this tournament is design to recapture those epic space battles they featured, while giving a competitive edge. The tournament will start next month, just in time for the anniversary of the Battle of Midway (June 4th)! Pre-Game Each player will be given a tonnage allowance of 1,600,000 tons, that they can build their fleet within. A player will then need to send a listing, compiling the names, weights, and files of each of their ships. This fleet cannot be changed during the tournament at any point (unless stated by a moderator). Once the submission process is complete, the players will be paired up with one another, and then matches will commence. Three battles will make up each match, the winner of the majority of battles will win the match and be paired again. Once all players have played, the top two will have an extended 5 battle match. The winner of the Final will then receive the prize and the title of “Space Warfare Tournament 2019 Champion”. Prize The prize will be any combination of any software on Steam for $60 USD. This will not include sales tax. As long as the total list of items the champion wants is equal to $60 USD total value, they will be rewarded that prize. Turn Phases & Rules Below will be the current ruleset. The tournament is to be 100% stock (KSP DLC will not be allowed, this is to ensure perfect compatibility) and will be run on 1.7.0. The Spheres of Influence (SOI) players will battle in are chosen by moderators before each battle. The team with the last functional ship wins Each player takes turns to engage one target with one ship. Ships engage in order of tonnage, lightest to heaviest. The cycle repeats once all ships have moved. If a ship fails to sustain power, move, or fire weapons, it is considered “lost” Weapons can only be fired from the original ship. A common persist file must be updated and a list of screenshots or statements must be provided at the end of each turn describing each players actions. Players are not allowed to take control enemy craft when they are active. Players are not allowed to edit configs or save files unless corroborated by a moderator. Cheats are not allowed. All ships can be moved, but only one may attack per turn. Ramming(the act of hitting another ship with your own) is disallowed Weapons must be fired within a 2.5km distance of an enemy ship. Autopilot (KOS, Mechjeb, etc.) is disallowed If a player loses half their fleet, they may forfeit. If a moderator deems the forfeit premature, they will be told to continue the battle. Carrier rulings: The total mass of carriers must include the fighters and other items they are carrying Ships onboard carriers can not fire weapons. Carriers cannot have weapons larger than 1.5m diameter Fighters must return to the carrier after 2 turns. Ship Design rules and exploits: Ships cannot exceed 600 parts Carriers and fighters are considered separate entities while building Fairing ships (warships made entirely out of fairings) are not allowed Kraken Drives are not allowed Extensive Clipping is not allowed (this is up to the discretion of the moderation) (If any exploits are found during the tournament, they will be added to this list) Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to direct message me on Reddit or here. There will also be a discord server setup for the tournament which will be added to the Resources section. If you would like to volunteer to do moderation, that would be greatly appreciated, just leave a comment or direct message me.

Hey, a bit of newb when it comes to the space part of Kerbal Space program. Here's a ship I built. I'd say rate my ship! MSV-4

Will y'all be adding new landing gear, as anything larger than the smallest retractable gear will protrude like a sore thumb?

Just made a Discord for this discussion @HatBat https://discord.gg/RJ6dYWC

Neuro-Kom Industries..., That sound good to you

Can we change the name?

If we get to change the name.

I have a highspeed, low orbit, skimmer, does anyone want one? Also, would anyone want to work with me to create a company?

Was just wondering, does anyone need a skipper aircraft? High speed, short range, rocket/glider craft. something along the lines of Dyna-soar?

@MiffedStarfish @Sidestrafe2462 I originally wanted to name the ship after the founder of HKA, but there is no such Kerman.

It's just a place to discuss about submissions. I'll put up a comprehensive sheet of what ships I need.

@MiffedStarfish Your ships do have a lot to do with Laythe and I would be fully willing to put them in the series

Hello there and welcome to the short spin off series, KSP:KS:The Final Frontier. This here is a discussion thread for my upcoming fan series on the Kethane Station series created by HatBat. Bellow is a list Contracts. Contracts are basically submissions for specific craft that will be necessary for the filming of this series. Contacts: HKA --Space Carrier --Must not include space fighters but should be able to accommodate a variety of ship sizes. --Has to have anti-aircraft and anti-ground combat systems. --Must have a runway to accommodate a variety of ship sizes and stop lengths --Must have re-entry ability but does not need to fly. --Must be able to float --Due to the nature of how I am filming, it does not need fuel or any staging for takeoff -SSTO Bomber --Should use the inline mk2 cockpit --Should have stock weapons --Must have a delta wing --Must have the ability to reenter --Must use R.A.P.I.E.R engines --Due to the nature of how I am filming, It does not need fuel or staging for takeoff -SSTO Fighter --Must use the inline mk2 cockpit --Must use BDa weapons --Must have the ability to re-enter and leave --Must Use R.A.P.I.E.R engines --Due to the nature of how I am filming, It does not need fuel or staging for takeoff -Spy Satellite GMI -Space Carrier -- -Space Destroyer -Space Explorer -Spy Satellite Misc. -Large Space Station --Has to be in a ring shape with a large diameter (About 6 Dynawings tip to tip) --Make it look as realistic as you like --Part limit, <1000 -Basic Telescope Satellite --

In what way would the story need to be altered in order for it to be official. My story hardly interacts with the main story and is really just a way to explore the further locals of Jool. They were the very first ships of KS.

@HatBatYeah, it is a spin off series of videos. I was wondering if it would fit in to the the story of Kethane Station? Furthermore, do you still have the old Mun lander for Kethane mining along with the GMI ship that attacked it?

@MiffedStarfishSorry, It supposed to be very large, like 20 plus SSTO carrier large. It is based on the B9 aerospace HX components. Think a little like star wars if you will.

@HatBat Can I have the craft files for all the ships that went to Duna?

@HatBat That wasn't for the submissions, that was for the off-shot story I am currently writing up.

May ask if anyone would be willing to design ships for my off shot series @HatBat Is this premise for a story fit within cannon? Sometime after the deployment of HKA’s fleet to Duna to track down GMI. HKS gained intel about a GMI base hidden on Laythe, as a result HKA having no real ability to investigate this intelligence, they decide to send their brand new Aegis MK2 carrier to investigate the moon. This leads the crew to venture out to the farthest reaches of the Kerbin system.

@NotAnAimbot Due to my current situation, I am unable to edit my aircraft, That's why I'm putting them up.

You give me too much credit, they turn too little. And thank you for the comment, though the ASTF-008 is one of the ones that suffer the most, if you want it, go straight ahead.
