Bill testing his new SleyAR (Sley Auto-Rocket)

Kerbals being Kerbals, they make and do a lot of crazy things. Post your pictures here

I liked Wayfare's design, so I made my own version of it and sent it to the Mun... That's Jeb and his 16 newly hired space cadets. The base is sitting inside one of the giant craters on nice flat ground and is also on top of the largest concentration of Kethane. I'm going to add a power plant, mining facility, fuel storage and connect it all up with KAS. Plus I'll drop down some toys for the Kerbals to play with. I'll post the completed complex when I am finished making it

Hmm, interesting. So does the KSPaddonfixed code only stop conflicts with Kethane, or can it be applied as a general workaround for all mods affected by this issue?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with the back ends of mods yet. I also missed your post in... what thread was that? but I am assuming you mean resource compatibility with all the user created mods that require the Kethane.DLL. Wouldn't it be simpler to obtain the licenses for the resources from these developers and have them all running from the kethane side?

Very inspiring ships guys! Mine is merely an engine component ATM... She is called "Beam" and is designed as a modular interplanetary tug. The launch vehicle sucked all the fuel out of the orange tank and I didn't notice that until she was in orbit. I can't be bothered to re-fuel her just yet, so she is sitting in LKO as a glorified orbital station for my space planes. She has 12 NERVA's, 6 normal docking ports and two large docking ports. I originally designed her to tug stuff out to Jool in multiple missions, but I'm sure that if I tack a few more fuel tanks on her she'll go anywhere

Just curious, but what were the two game-breaking issues?

Thx Cap

I was drinking a coffee when I saw this... Now my keyboard is all sticky

Pure Gravy

No, the CoM is fine. Turns out the reaction wheels didn't have any electricity and it's little engines don't produce any

Question: Why doesn't the little rocket powered launchpad fly like a normal rocket? I landed one on the side of a hill on Minmus and decided to relocate it only to find I could not control it. P.S On the plus side, I had a great laugh bouncing it around the low grav moon. It seems to be indestructible (more testing required ) Keep up the good work

Yes, Especially if it's interesting enough to be remembered... (I skim through a lot of the boring stuff )

Ok, so I've been lurking these forums for a few months now, gathering inspiration and ideas from the amazing array of designs that others are contributing, and I thought that maybe getting involved with this community a bit would help alleviate some of the boredom I feel while playing this game. (Not regular boredom, more along the lines of "what is left to do?" boredom) I am a "built for purpose" rather than an aesthetic designer, and find that my creativity really shines when placed under severe restrictions. The forums at Kerbalroleplay.com helped me discover that spark, with its rule restraints and economic considerations that challenged me to rethink the way I designed my ships. I found this quite enjoyable (until the nuclear war reset the forum and wiped all my stuff ) My recent upgrade from 0.18 - 0.21 has forced me to start my space program again from scratch, and I hope that working with others here will rekindle the excitement I had when I first bought this game. I only use one mod, Kethane, and basically design all my missions around the ability to harvest my own "fun goo" (interplanetary refueling mission bore me, and eat into the time I can spend playing in a far away location) Anyway, If your interested in seeing the type of designs I create, I managed to save a few pics from the kerbal roleplay forum before the nuclear war. (Sorry no craft file, but they're easy to replicate) The satellite is a recreation of the Earth Recon Orbiter that someone asked me to design for them. It can go from LKO to a stable Mun Orbit under its own power and its docking port makes it reusable. The Launch vehicle was a project for an organization that needed to set up 3 satellites in geosynchronous orbits around kerbin. Rather than waste money on 3 separate launches, I just tacked 3 of my ERO's onto it. With a little orbital tweaking, it can set them up to cover the majority of kerbin and return the pilot safely. Hope to see you all around here, and If you don't see me posting, rest assured that I am still watching EVERTHING...
