Re-Invigorated by Exo's new ship I am trying to make an SSTO than can land vertically... because of Duna.. and it's lack of letting me land conventionally in one piece : I Not sure where this design is going.. just making it up as I go.. it has 4 LV-T30 pointing down so far... mmmmmmm.. I hope it works xD

How do you get it off the ground Exo? I've tried about 10 times now and each time it pulls to the left and explodes... I can't even get half way down the runway. *___*

Super Awesome. All Plebeians Go Here >> http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/37352-Exo-s-Rubberband-and-Duct-Tape-Emporium-SSTOS-Weird-Space-Ships-and-more!

It is not me that made those aircraft!!! it is pa1983's aircraft!! All the Falcon ships are by pa1983... His youtube channel >> http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgSmNU42ryvXcvmIWgtXcsA I've only ever posted my creations in this thread, maybe you got confused when pa1983 flew my space shuttle? xD

What are the lines shooting up from the craft.. And also.. you are a crazy person..

Just fixing your post TeeGee.. For future reference use at the end of an image address. This will show them like they are here

Fantastic work as always... another great build.

Haha! well.... I guess it does count in that situation xD Very good.

Trust you to reply as I edit my post haha.. I mean in atmosphere.. not out of atmosphere... Because of it's small size I was curious how fast it can go before running out of air and having to switch to rocket engines.

What is it's top speed in atmosphere using only the Jet Engines Cruzan?

I'm not sure how we come to talking about what is cheating and what is not xD I was talking about Intake Spam being the use of no-clip to place something like 50 air intakes in the exact same location... I never actually used the word "Cheat" in that regard. I did jokingly call pa1983 a "Naughty Cheater" though... hahahaha~ He called himself a cheater xDDDDD I'm just playing... Anyways.. I want to see more Exo crafts.. *edit* Ughh... I give up... It's too hard Exo this ship is just not working for me.

Something I would love is more stock wing shapes, more stock flaps.. and More Stock Jet Engines "Different Sizes" and more Intake Types. Black Intakes Why? intakes that match the rest of the craft.. : I Also.. after burners for Jet Engines.. that would be so cool.. And!! larger landing wheels for aircraft instead of the same dam one size fits all... NO ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL LOL!!1 needs like a heavy duty landing wheels... and one with longer legs. *cough* Sorry my wish list.

xD

Was thinking of using the airospikes when up to speed and at altitude to get that little bit of a punch out of atmosphere.. I still can't do what you did with the nuclear engines.... that is so hard to do *__*

One could argue that placing control surfaces inside an aircraft's body is "cheating" how are those control surfaces touching air if they are inside the body of an aircraft?..... I know pa1983 does this, I don't call him a cheater for doing so, it is what he does to get the control for his aircraft that he wants. I am not saying using no-clip is cheating, it is a means of doing some stuff that otherwise is a bit tricky to do by default. I was stating "intake spam is when you turn on no-clip then place 50 intakes in the exact same spot"...exact same spot... they are not separately selectable like this. This is Intake Spam. I don't consider building an intake array as intake spam, it is essentially just building a large intake.. Look at the SR-71.. it did not have a tiny little intake and tiny little engine to fly at the high speed and high altitude that it was capable of flying at.. it had a huge air intake and a huge engine.. Do we have Huge Air Intakes and Huge Jet Engines to use in the game without resorting to using mods? Real aircraft carry fuel in the wings, KSP wings do not, Real Fuel tanks can be shaped how you want inside and outside of an aircraft, KSP fuel tanks cannot... One can argue I am "Cheating" if they wish, my aim is simply to build something "Stock" without "Cheating"... as I said I do not consider using multiple intakes "Cheating" it is simply using parts in the game. It's like trying to say someone is cheating because they are using ten fuel tanks and not one. Air intakes have a function, We are simply using stock parts in a video game. If you can do it stock, it's just making things in the game using parts in the game.. and that is what I am doing.

pa1983 is a naughty cheater.. hohoho~ I didn't really learn about NoClip until after learning how to do things.. so now I'm like.. mmmmm.. I can do that without no clip xD I haven't really gotten to the flight testing stage yet.. but I was thinking of testing it with 4 jet and 4 aerospikes.. Haven't really decided on the configuration yet. The drop / parachute deployment works like a charm though... I tested that on the Mk3. Still testing.. Still building~ I want to see what Exo is doing xD

Still trying to build this aircraft... All I can say is wow this is hard.. This is the 4th iteration now.. Mk4 has not got off the ground yet, but Mk3 has.. Mk3 suffered from lack of lift in the front of the craft, so Mk4 is a try at fixing that problem + lots of changes. I've made the fuel tanks like they are a part of the engine with the air intakes all nicely tucked inside.. Each Air Intake is separately selectable... THIS IS NOT INTAKE SPAM... Intake Spam is where you place intakes in the exact same spot using no clip... I've seen this done by a few of the KSP YouTubers and it is quite frankly cheating. I would like to make very clear that I have not used "No Clip" to achieve building the engine of this craft. The two vertical tail planes on the naked version is just so I can test it going down the runway.. I've been having troubles with the craft veering off sideways lol... So I had to strip it again to make sure the frame is sturdy.

As long as you don't drop parts to get to orbit it's SSTO... it doesn't need wings to be classified as SSTO. Bonus points if you can de-orbit and land back at the runway. Over 9000 points if you can Land on Duna.. Using Stock Everything... and return to Kerbin and land back at the runway. IN ONE PIECE///// and without using Infinite Fuel.

Landing SSTO on Duna is hard hehehehe... WELCOME TO MY WORLD... MWHAHAHAA~ I've done that crash twice now lol.. Your rocket lander is cool : > I find if you get an encouter, burn for it.. then once you are half way, do a correction burn to make yourself come in exactly where you want.. You save a lot more fuel this way... At least to the best of my knowledge... I am not the best at the whole getting to other planets part. Still redesigning my SSTO based on yours.. it's had a big change so far.. will post some screenshots up when I get to do some more testing.

Nice work RocketTurtle~ Interesting wing setup... the lower one is sort of like a feather. Now really challenge yourself and build a large one!... hehe :J

After looking over your internal layout with the frame Exo... and after testing my design all yesterday afternoon... I've decided to start from scratch xD When my craft got up to speed it just started pulling up by itself no matter how hard you tried to pull down... I'm thinking maybe it was because I had intakes in the nose part... Something about drag and center of lift is my guess :/ This is the front bit.. Decided to put the probe core inside the body and batteries ON the probe core this time.. for some reason the last build was losing electrical power even though the battery was the big one and not drained at all.... but the battery itself was not connected to the probe core... so... I don't know maybe this will work better... *update* I can't figure out how to do the Push up legs.. If I was to do them properly It would probably have to be a direct copy of what you have done and I don't want to do that... I think I will go for a drop type deployment with parachute then I can land the craft near the buggy... Tried making a buggy with 6 wheels like yours though, I've only made a buggy once and it kinda sucked... Haven't been able to test the buggy yet because I haven't been able to get it out from under the craft yet lol/////

Ohhh my goodness it's a UFO!! xD

I would love to see you make a Medium sized aircraft pa1983... not a large one!! We know you can do that very well... A medium sized one!! Make a Medium Sized Aircraft!!!! ( ノ ￣ ▽ ￣ )ノ

Mmmmm... I like the frame setup.. that's really cool *___*

I can't figure out how you did the side bits Exo so I'm just doing something different entirely xD Using two of those Mk2 to Size One Adapters back to back but using a Cubic Octagonal Strut to make the second one connect so that gap isn't between them.. then put the Nuclear engine in so only the nozzle sticks out.. the engine is connected to the same Cubic Octagonal Strut inside.. so it makes a kind of compact Fuel Pod / Engine... Mmmmm.. This was done Stock.. this is not using Clipping.. Everything I do is without cheating.. *Edit* Finally got it to fly... the center of lift is actually quite a bit in front of the center of mass yet it flies nearly perfectly.... I'm a bit confused by this lol.. Went in a different direction with the wings compared to yours Exo.
