Sweet. I await this mod, for it made designing MANY things fun. xP

Gojira. Gamera. And Mothra. Holy freaking heck, this has turned into the most awesome series of mods in forever. Will the "Mothra" be the WT-53?

I voiced this earlier, actually. Really, the main differences between a MechJeb and non-MJ one is that the MechJeb one cannot be refueled, and that what the MechJeb one has - the GUI to start and stop engines - can be done via action groups anyhow.

So that RCS is literally gone in a few minutes, or 3 minutes, 20 seconds. XD Nuuuuts.

XD Haha, I'm no better, honestly. I love this game, yet can't launch my own designs - even when I think I've got them assembled properly - into orbit. xP

As Logan puts it, that's how I would attempt to do it as well. The WT-51 is definitely a heavy lifter, not really designed to travel too far out of Kerbin's low orbit range, though it could possibly do it with assistance, I'm sure. The tug itself would probably need a WT-51 all its own, considering the size of the parts that are gonna go up. xD

It's alright. As a saying goes, "foresight is 20:20; hindsight is 50/50." I was actually thinking personally just scaling up the WT-51. Maybe THAT one, WT-54 or something, could be the Gojira. Or, keeping on the theme, maybe another of the Godzilla monsters? ;P But a scaled-up bay would ALSO work. However, I can already see the side door being an issue. The bigger one could possibly have the FLOOR drop out. I'm not positive how that would work, but imagine it. Imagine it. WHY AREN'T YOU IMAGINING IT?! xD

OHH...... Well, then! Good thing I'm in a math mood! ;D If the Kerbal Forge is 1.28km, and the human Forge is 2km, that's a comparative scale of 0.64. 350*0.64 is 224 meters. So, then, 224m/9 is a hair under 25 meters. POTENTIALLY, a single Sulaco part could fit inside the Gojira..... however, some of the parts just won't be able to, will it? Then, how big are the other two ships in comparison to the Sulaco?

One: that is MASSIVE. Two: Didn't I say Sulaco? ;P

According to Dev's measurements, the Sulaco is 7 times longer than our friend Gojira. xD

....also, long post is long. I can really delve into the mechanics behind stuff like this - it's why I enjoy astronomy so. ;D

Well, let's see. If the "Gojira" is 55 meters at 100T... and the Sulaco alone is 350m. If scaled directly proportionally, that's, for estimation, a 1/7 ratio. So we can expect the Sulaco to be roughly 700 tons. Then, the Valley Forge, according to you, is 1,280 meters. We can again try to scale proportionally, but considering parts of it aren't the same material as the Gojira or Sulaco, it wouldn't work in the end... but it can give us a start. 1280m divided by 9 is a hair over 142 meters apiece. Give or take, the scale between Gojira and one section, therefore, is 55/142, because it doesn't really divide cleanly, I think. But, we can round and estimate, again. 55/142 can be roughly translated to 50/150, or 1/3. Thus, EACH section of the Valley Forge would be 300 tons, give or take according to their material. That's 2700 tons BASE. And that's massive. But, looking at the "rough draft" picture Mr. Vires provided, it's easy to see we can't divide it into 9 equal parts, haha. But again, all this is rough estimation and what-not. To lift 300 tons into stable orbits is most DEFINITELY not easy, however, so I can foresee the need to have custom boosters - unless someone can prove me wrong, I can't see stock parts being able to do it. :/ ........also, reading your post, you were talking about the Sulaco being 9 parts. x3 Though, the same concept applies here, I believe. Plugging into my calculator, I found that 1280 divides evenly with 16, which equals 80 meters per part - MUCH more manageable. That's also a near-even scale Gojira-to-Forge of 5/8. Which means every portion is 162.5 tons, and, again, MUCH more manageable than 300, haha. EDIT: Plugged it into my calculator, and 2700/16 is 168.75 tons. My apologies. x3

....I just realized something. 1200 meters?! Good GOD...... trying to launch that thing already makes my brain cringe at merely the THOUGHT. xD

XD That is a VERY good reason to not mod. You are just making me more and more excited for your mods, Devo. I almost want to ask to be a PERMANENT tester, but know I have neither the resource or time. xP

< OH. MY. WORD. That's freaking BEAUTIFUL, Devo. I want that as a super-orbital station, haha! XD

Ooooh, that'd look beautiful, Dev.... The GUI is nice, I admit. But ever since the action groups came out, it's really just kinda replaced, in my opinion. That still doesn't mean I wouldn't use Mechjeb anyhow to CONTROL the dang things. XD <3

Hm..... I find the Mechjeb system for the Pegasusususus very handy to swap engine layouts, and kinda wish the WT-51 also had it. But to be able to refuel them..... ....hm..... I suppose I could do with action groups. <3

and pack-rat brains

I haven't a lot to say about Windows 8 myself. I've used Windows 7 since my laptop broke four years ago - which had Vista, which, surprisingly, I really liked. So I love Win7 even more. To me it feels like a computer. I'd be alright with Macs, if it weren't for their price tag... But, as I mentioned in the Win3 thread, my mother got a laptop with Windows 8 on it. I can't stand it. That may be due to how deeply rooted I am to Win7, though. On top of that, I haven't the slightest idea how it handles games, so it makes me generally wary, since that's essentially the heart of my computer. I'm not against Win8. I know technology is going to develop according to the customs of today's people. But it's so radically different from Win7 that it forms a barrier that my mind can't get past to try it. But ah well. We've only two years to wait for Windows 9, so let's see what they make of it. =)

and assorted visages ( Of? )

It's not that infiniglide is IMPOSSIBLE. Infiniglide is still, by all accounts, doable. It's just absolutely not permitted by the challenge. Also, someone else WILL jump hard on this. PLEASE provide pictures of your craft, even if it's from Imgur, because forum rules MANDATE you must.

I can see all that, Foamy. My mother recently got a Windows 8 laptop, and - let me just say - Ohm not amused. x3 I'm just not a big fan of the design overall. The "boot to start", I could get over if it just didn't..... LOOK the way it does. It makes me feel like it's trying to be flashier than it needs to be, heh. So, while it's great, I must say that I am going to stick with Windows 7, which, for multiple reasons that I know of, is proven to work for games better than 8 is...

XD Yes! The Gojira LIIIVES! Also, I agree - that Falcon is looking seeeexy. But I voted for the Aliens Dropship, personally.

Yeah. Probably, to match the height of the Eagle's landing legs, we'd have to put some of the smaller - or possibly the larger - legs on the pod itself to get it right up there perfectly. I can imagine that, actually! Eagle lands over a pod with its legs retracted - pod's legs extend - and it links up front to back! ;D

Looks very beautiful. I like the two-man cockpit combination. I've tried to experiment similarly with that, to no success, so it's good to see it work here. ;P
