that is one bad ass ship, nice work.

if its the same problems with the decouplers(specifically the ones designed to hide the engines) i'm having is that they can't support crap for weight. they buckle in on themselves since the top half of the decoupler is fake theres no physical mass to hold it and what its connected to in place. so if you put a semi heavy stage above them the whole thing collapses in on its self. if need be i can do some screen shots to show what happens.

nice.. once you get the wobble on the large ships fixed i'll definitely be grabbing this.

lol i know, i tried with the stock parts, seriously about to pull my hair out because i can't get anything to friggin fly straight!!!!! i'll try with all wobbly rocket parts next after i calm down..

lol i'd rather not embarrass myself i really suck with the stock stuff plus i can't even remember what all the stock parts are.

my best time so far is 1 minute 4 seconds and i think i can beat it, trying one more idea then i'll post pictures and ship info as proof. ok heres the latest one i've done.. 1 SAS mod 1 decouplers 1 XL fuel tank 1 5x1 coupler 5 necelle engines starting image: as close to 100km as i could get with the image: images changed to reflect my new time.. new time: 58 SECONDS to get to 102KM!!!!! old time: 1 minute 3 seconds to hit 101KM. http://i.imgur.com/JeyUm.png http://i.imgur.com/TtU9P.png

yeah he used it on everything.. thanks for the heads up i guess i'll just edit them myself.

i love your engines man, been using them a bunch lately and they work great. i put a few of the ships i made with it in my thread.. http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/index.php?topic=1317.0

i like your dual pylon coupler, but it breaks the option to save craft's. anything on the craft from the dual pylon coupler down does not get saved.

added a couple more ships..

yay spend 15 minutes building a rocket that should of worked.. i get up to 200k meters go to launch the warp boosters and poof the engines disappear in a black cloud.. these things need a ton of work.

instead of making a new post for every ship i make i'm just going to keep posting them in one thread.. most of the ships i make use modded parts because the stock ones are boring. surprisingly this one worked, its taken me a while to get it to work repeatedly but i figured it out.. Boosters and liquid fuel engines fire at the same time but i set the liquid engines to 0% power as the boosters lift the ship. as the boosters start to run out of fuel i slowly power up the liquid engines to about 45%. this was just a short flight, i can probably add 1 more fuel tank on it to get it to go further though and not have it completely fall apart on me. i don't have a name for it yet so if anyone has any ideas feel free to post them. Flight time is roughly 5 minutes long. ship parts(i have so many mods installed right now i can't remember which parts are from which mod's sorry) 5 SAS modules 1x3 module adapter 2 FL-R1000 fuel tanks HS-300 stack decoupler 3m to 5x1m adapter shroud 5 E-500 engines 4 CMM-96 surplus boosters images below(1680x1050 which is why i'll just post links) gallery: http://imgur.com/a/TqoGg single images: http://i.imgur.com/ELmiu.jpg http://i.imgur.com/rCHOB.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kHAq2.jpg http://i.imgur.com/SzZ6m.png http://i.imgur.com/C8GBr.png i may post a video at some point but i don't have the time right now to do it. ship file is posted below (quad booster) The W_T_F Rocket I have absolutely no clue how this thing works. it took about 30 attempts to modify it and i've only been able to get it to take off correctly once out of 5 attempt's but it does fly. parts: a ton of triple lateral couplers 16 SAS modules a bunch of nose cones 4 XL fuel tanks 4 E-500 liquid fuel engines flight time ~29 minutes images: http://i.imgur.com/T72Bi.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KNBKh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/H9YCp.png http://i.imgur.com/JEH1w.png update 7/28 just a ship i came up with while i was bored.. I call it Warp speed and surprisingly it flies pretty well if you slowly power up the liquid engines on launch. Parts: 15 SAS modules(yes all 15 are needed) 2 tri-lateral couplers quad coupler 4 decouplers 4 warp nacelle fuel tanks 4 nacelle engines 4 QS-91 stack decouplers 4 FL-S200 fuel tanks 4 E-600 liquid engines images (1280x720) http://i.imgur.com/xM9sx.png http://i.imgur.com/T12Oz.png http://i.imgur.com/942gn.png craft file is below (warp speed) heres another one i came up with. though it has no name and i can't post the craft file since the game corrupted it some how. it will only load the capsule and SAS modules.. everything from the second decoupler down is missing. images(1280x720): http://i.imgur.com/JXez9.jpg http://i.imgur.com/hbLPp.png http://i.imgur.com/X5c70.png http://i.imgur.com/jAxcC.png update 7/29 Meet, the flying surfboard.. total pain in the arse to take off with because it instantly wants to fall over, so you have to launch immediately when the count down starts. through the flight i realized that the Necelles tri coupler is broken though. the center point will always stay attached, but the second you release the first stage the outside couplers disconnect. happens with each stage release but the ship stays in one piece luckily. also the warp nacelles dual pylon's break the ability to save the ship so again there will be no craft file for this one. Parts: 3 warp nacelles dual pylon couplers a ton of SAS modules 6 nacelles fuel tank's 6 nacelles engines 6 QS-91 stack decouplers 3 FL-S200 fuel tanks 3 E-600 liquid engines Images(1280x720) http://i.imgur.com/3wyDZ.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sb8kd.png http://i.imgur.com/Xvn6x.png http://i.imgur.com/liJRd.png http://i.imgur.com/Edgri.png http://i.imgur.com/4kR1I.png

lol they didn't even have time to get scared, the whole thing collapsed in on its self and lags like a mofo during the entire explosion, i couldn't even zoom out fast enough because the camera would disapear under ground. also the ships so damn tall it doesn't fit in the hanger, even if you break it into 2 pieces both pieces are still to long to fit them in the hanger. i have no clue how this guy built this thing.

based on the picture and the fact that i actually tried to make one of these not to long ago, no the thing just falls apart halfway up because of the game engine and things not physically attaching to each other. but i'll download it and see if this ones any different from the ones i've tried. yeah um i just tried it.. HELL NO IT DOESN'T FLY!!! it collapses on its self once you get it to the pad.. then its over 2 minutes of destruction before it all ends. if i can hit the space bar in time i'll try to at least get some images of it flying but i doubt it. yeah it doesn't fly period.. so heres some pictures of it exploding.. http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/6968/ksp2011072709061745.png http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/5863/ksp2011072709062056.png

man the E-1000's are redonkulous.. way over powered and thus makes them insanely fuel efficient.. case in point, look at the below picture and note what my thrust is at, and yes i have 5 of the E-1000's on this thing because i was bored as you can tell by all the XL fuel tanks

huh interesting, i tried making one similar to that and it refused to ever take off and i only used 2 fuel tanks.

yeah it definitely breaks the game.. my gpu goes ape sh** but never hits 100% load like it normally does just sitting in the construction bay. oh btw the i7 doesn't matter, the games single threaded. damn even tried 640x480 on fastest quality, nada.. i think the problem is that the program is single threaded it turns into a cpu bottleneck. because its the only thing that would explain why my gpu is bouncing between 0-46% usage while the core0 is pegged at 100%.

thanks for the file, i'll play around with it as well and see if i can keep it from exploding.. i got nothing better to do tonight so this should kill 3-4 hours easy.. darn looks like the link isn't working anymore..

awesome job.. i was hoping we would eventually see decouplers like these.

post the file for the ship, i'll definitely be able to get it to fly with my system and fraps it for you as well.

its disapears after 50000km i think. maybe 100000km all i know is it disappeared some where between that. lol yeah i was bored last night and was getting pissed off after about 10 different rocket designs i made failed due to glitches in the game. so i said screw it and decided to see how many of those XL fuel tanks i could put on it and still be able to take off.. it fly's like a friggin pig though.. it just wobbles around and gets worse the faster it goes.

i did it.. i hit 67KM/s!!! it only took me almost 2 hours to do it but i did it. i actually forgot i left the game running in the background and got back to it just as the engine cut out.. so heres the picture.. who knows maybe i'll drift all the way to the sun, may take me a few days if its even possible. i'll post the file a little bit later since i didn't save it before i started the flight, didn't even think it would actually fly.
