  1. Hopefully in the future docking will allow the transfer of fuel, crew and modules (much like how the ISS was built) between spacecraft. But right now I could in theory grab small objects in orbit around Kerbin and take them to the mun. (or vice versa) The potential for this craft to be upgraded for almost any mission will mean it will stick around in my hanger for a long time to come. Even if it becomes a glorified space tug.
  2. Done! 8) http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=8607.0 http://youtu.be/5-nTwIznBKI Do I get extra points for being asymmetrical?
  3. Introducing the Jetmaster Doc II http://youtu.be/5-nTwIznBKI This rocket was designed to meet the problems players have had, when practicing their docking manoeuvres. Although docking has not officially being implemented yet in kerbal space program this does not stop us from trying. This rocket was designed to meet the problems players have had when practicing their docking manoeuvres. The most distinct feature of the Doc II is that is an A symmetrical rocket. The fuel pipes even form an arrow to show not only the front of the ship, but also the top of the ship. This helps with orientating yourself so you can use the RCS thrusters effectively for manoeuvres. Using one half tank of fuel as a counter weight ( possible room for payload? ) it is hardly the most efficient rocket, but has plenty of room to be adapted for future missions. The Doc II also has plenty rocket fuel and RCS fuel for most orbital missions around kerbin... or for launching one satellite and de-orbiting another 8)
  4. The mass of solid fuel rockets make this rocket highly unstable. It also makes my respectably powerful pc run like a slide show. S:| If you want to lift anything with this rocket, use liquid rockets instead. Oh, and it needs something heavy on top just to make this thing stable.
  5. I think the main trick for these UFO craft is getting them into orbit and getting them to land safely again... they are very resistant to damage though. I clipped the tower multiple times to knock wings off and the craft still flew!
  6. I for one wish to nominate this rocket as the most Kerbal thing to ever land on the mun. It\'s ugly as sin, its dinks more fuel than an alcoholic rocket with a death wish, throws tons of space junk into orbit and it probably slept with your girlfriend/boyfriend and or mother... A true rock star. 8)
  7. I love these high efficiency designs. Designs like this will be needed if we are to have any chance getting to other planets. The real question is, did you make it back and how much space junk was created?
  8. Well other than shitting bricks on re-entry (that feature is coming soon I hear) your pretty much spot on.
  9. I love the space plane. A truly kerbal craft! Now I can\'t wait for retractable landing gear, working cargo bay doors, and docking. (maybe fixed aero dynamics too)
  10. I can get into orbit and out of orbit (with crew survival) Parachute Command Liquid tank Big thruster On the sides I have three decouplers holding three more tanks of fuel with pipes feeding the single thruster. There might be even potential for saving the three tanks with Parachutes if it comes down to cost efficacy.
  11. Newer versions will have the parachute removed. Also because of the high impact resistance of the command module, it makes for very good landing gear. The landing \'legs\' are there for extra RCS thruster mounts and balance.
  12. http://youtu.be/6ScIDe3QXIg Though I might add a demonstration flight.
  13. UPDATE! The Jet Master RCS LI is now certified for low orbit missions and certified to launch small payloads into orbit. Try the Jet Master RCS LI S today! http://youtu.be/YqxM4hi5DnY Introducing the Jet Master RCS LI !!! WARNING A high degree of skill with RCS thrusters is needed to operate this craft. We at Jet Master Industries have developed a prototype for those who like to land their craft upside down without death. Remember, this is just a prototype lander. You can however easily be combined this craft with any other compatible Jet Master launch platform (or develop your own). As an added bonus, we have include a soild fuel rocket to get you started in the wrong right direction for training purposes. Instruction in use of prototype. 1. Use solid fuel rocket to gain enough altitude for lander training. 2. Once fuel is spent, detach immediately!! 3. Immediately invert craft so the nose is pointing toward the ground. Engage RCS and SAS. (Please note: If you where reading these instructions while flying prototype, pray instead. Screaming is also acceptable) 4. Reverse thrust to slow decent. 5. Land Use of parachute is NOT recommended. Feel free to experiment with the Jet Master RCS LI. Although please share what this prototype can do with us so we can create better rockets for you in the future. Download Notes: (Jet Master Industries uses only approved stock parts. No mods needed to fly) Jet Master RCS LI = trainer for leaning how to land The Jet Master RCS LI S = mission ready craft
  14. I\'ve been constantly improving my lander. Here some old shots of my successful Muner missions.
