Suprablaski4

canards are pretty effective in water, ive taken my ranger car from the early post and put canards under it like a hydrofoil and it sits on the water level like it was actually riding on top (till i actually pull up or down then it freaks out lol), but yeah like the last guy said going fast in water is one thing but never been able to enter or exit going faster then 30m/s lol. also i like lots of struts ;-p i like the looks and i like when you snap a part off and only the struts keep you rolling lol

http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/19554-Stock-16-Ranger-Jet-Car my submission granted i need to test my water top speed, never had anything that could enter the water moving faster then 30m/s

respect, i understand. just saying thread says unofficial lol the whole point of the thread is speculation, otherwise what are we doing here? if someone ignorantly takes something here as fact the disappointment is on them not the Devs. figure long as no one here is trying to draw the attention of mods or devs to destract them from their job (aka asking for release date or release info), its just fans talking about whats coming (a forum) Edit:late reply, not intentional derail

lol thread is labeled "unofficial" is speculation really such a big deal if people are not actually asking for a date

Like most i like to play with rovers but hate the limited gear and breaking but so far this is my most stable rover on kerbin, havnt tried to fly it anywhere yet but it can get around nicely in atmo and full gravity. (175m/s) Canards and RCS for great turning <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/138/screenshot4js.png/'><img src='http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/1023/screenshot4js.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/713/screenshot2bv.png/'><img src='http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/7682/screenshot2bv.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> When im going fast i use S to pull up on the nose with RSC this takes alot of the weight of the from gear and give you alot more speed and range without damage <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/254/screenshot3kj.png/'><img src='http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/9392/screenshot3kj.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> The lake west of KSC <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/41/screenshot5ew.png/'><img src='http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/6927/screenshot5ew.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> After arriving at the lake with more then half fuel left i decided to take it for a swim and cross the lake <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/546/screenshot6e.png/'><img src='http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/8748/screenshot6e.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/841/screenshot7lw.png/'><img src='http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9179/screenshot7lw.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> After a couple dips in the water i decided to see how fast i could hit it, not very lol <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/211/screenshot8s.png/'><img src='http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1411/screenshot8s.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> http://www./?b8wnokz045uv74l Give it a shot and see what you think, post anything more stable you might have also

been waiting on a serenity for a while guess the parts just not quite there yet lol

kk think i got this one within the rules tonight, used my craft for rescuing lost kerbins in atmo, burned at full throttle at less then 9km altitude just to prove no fuel bugs or anything and that it can easily reach that range if orbiting. anyways, rover is nothing special, just do a quick barrel roll to drop the rover and it deploys chutes and coast to the ground (all stock btw, can post .craft if anyone wants it) <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot21-2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot21-2.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot23-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot23-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot24-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot24-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot25-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot25-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> Note the rover in the background as the delivery craft recovers from its roll and sets ASAS to fly home <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot26.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot26.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot27.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot27.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot28-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot28-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot29-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot29-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot31-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot31-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot32-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot32-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot33-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot33-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot34-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot34-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> my craft files - Hog Delivery Craft - http://www./file/vuvkioz2z4ikei4/Hog_Delivery_Craft.craft Hog Rescue Jet - http://www./file/f42o38v3bzfdefj/Hog_Rescue_Jet.craft (Same plane without the Rover on top)

lol who would have thought days of heated competition on this one

lol figured it was only a matter of time, i enjoyed my lead ;-p could work on something to glide at a higher altitude but meh

on mine my ship will climb to 5500ish as it dose a full loop and a half before rolling into position and gliding the opposite direction it started, depending on the direction it rolls seems to determine how far it goes, it with either start gliding at around 4k altitude or fall to around 3k and then glide but not go as far, but it will catch a glide no matter how poorly it launches and go far, just not always over 100k. it will also climb and dive for a few mins as it levels itself out, but its balance is perfect and the only time it hasnt landed itself is when it hit a mountain lol give it a shot if you got an hour to spare or just wanna redesign it http://www./?yd96wpcn2zy0b5w after its launch loop and its turning into its roll, if it turns to the north it will catch a glide at a higher altitude and go further, if it turns to the south it will not go as far lol

managed to lose control and get it back a few times posting up a fair run 17.2k from the pad 37k ground distance traveled <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href=' http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/217/screenshot4ste.png/'><img src='http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/1620/screenshot4ste.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a>plummet'>http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a>plummet to my death lol<a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/195/screenshot10ud.png/'><img src='http://img195.imageshack.us/img195/7637/screenshot10ud.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a> <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/screenshot11j.png/'><img src='http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/1213/screenshot11j.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a>

ive managed my trip 3 more times now so no doubt the craft is repeatable just takes 3 or 4 launches to get the right angle then its set for an hour or so lol

kk finally lol 133,022m highest altitude less then 5500 $$$ (launched fully horizontal) <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href=' http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/832/screenshot2zd.png/'><img src='http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/9052/screenshot2zd.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a>Note my zoomed out view, the lake in the background, is where i landed on my last flight <a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/15/screenshot1voa.png/'><img src='http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/544/screenshot1voa.png' border='0'/></a><br>Uploaded with <a target='_blank' href='http://imageshack.us'>ImageShack.us</a>

got my screen shot jsut waiting on photobucket also, 133km, even managed to land within sight of my last place lol craft is more repeatable then i ever thought

no i didnt cause my command pod didnt go anywhere so figured it wouldnt display an actual distance, after 100k i lost track, can try again but doubt ill ever get that stable a glide again lol edit: i take that back lol relaunch put me back in the same direction just falling a little faster, will see if i can post up something similar with a proper final distance

sorry treb i beat you :-p

Okay so i can only take so much credit for a ridiculous flight lol after many designs doing epic circle or just going straight up i rebuilt the posters craft and started playing with it, after flipping the front swept wings around and tilting them up slightly to encourage gliding and adding a few advanced canards to the rear i got a craft that likes to glide if it gets launched right. few random flights later i got a perfect turn into a glide that laster over an hour and took me beyond 100k where it stoped displaying and i glided for another 10 mins. <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot0-2.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot0-2.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot1-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot1-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot19-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot19-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot20-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot20-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot21-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot21-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot22.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot22.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot23.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot23.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot24.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot24.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot25.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot25.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot28.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot28.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot29.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot29.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot30.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot30.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot31.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot31.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot32.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot32.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot33.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot33.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot34.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot34.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot36.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot36.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Landing was the best part and easily worth the hour 14 min wait lol, but again not my original design and the glide was pretty lucky lol

mine went up for a sec then happened to find its way to perfectly level and has been gliding for an hour now lol

still waiting on mine to stop gliding lol got a lucky launch and its been flying forever, will get screen shots up when it lands

mk2 fuselage bicoupler missing

kudos, clean landing lol

Figured i would post up something i finished tonight, idea started from the ARC challenge to land a rover on minimus and slowly just got off track lol. All stock heavy lander/rover, has tons of fuel cause i cant fly efficiently, can easily get to either moon. <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot10-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot10-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>easy to fly and stable at all stages, i like to run it around 20 m/s to keep everything from going crazy when you hit a bump, easily capable of more and enough fuel to return though the 3 chutes are more for aesthetic cause it jsut rips the command pod off the rest of the rover lol, safe landing just not for the rest of the unit. <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot9-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot9-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot11-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot11-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot12-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot12-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> so you can prolly tell i have a thing for struts to lol, make it nice and strong though, ive broken off a tank with the gear on it and had it just bounce around with the struts holding it in place. once you do a standard landing just activate RCS and press W with a light thrust to the engines to tip forward (to make sure RCS lets you turn in the right direction), and then just raise the rear landing gear. if you land on the wrong side RCS will steer the wrong direction, just figure out which keys work and your good to go lol. <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot13-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot13-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot14-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot14-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <a href="http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot15-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot15-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> and of course like any good Kerbal vehicle its prone to catastrophic failure when you push the speeds, which of course you will <a href=" http://s223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/?action=view&current=screenshot16-1.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd249/suprablaski/screenshot16-1.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>but what would be the point of rescure missions if you dont ever strand someone http://www./?khc4tpsyuq88sn0 improvements welcome, enjoy
