From the creator of the Hephaestus Cannon Mk. II, SaganPie Industries proudly presents: THE MY LITTLE SPACE STATION STARTER PACK! Here's the download: http://www./?0o6fd0cyd8yt2mo This sleek, visually-stunning space station core has it all: - Sturdy construction! - Lights for night-side docking! - Plenty of batteries and solar power, plus additional backup nuclear generators in case those Kerbals get a bit clumsy! - Lots of fuel and monopropellant storage! - Enough space for seven Kerbals (cockpit included)! - Parking space on all six axes! That's right, you get all of this for the low low price of free, all wrapped up in a (relatively) small 88 part, 31.805 ton package! (Hey, you give me room for 40 tons, I'm gonna use it! ) The MLSS Starter Pack in a 1,000,000 meter orbit And, as an added bonus to all you ambitious Kerba-nauts who want to build space stations but don't have the time to actually *build* them, I present to you the rest of the My Little Space Station line of high-quality space station modules (At least the ones I've made so far ) With just a few clicks, you can have it all, from massive fuel silos to communications arrays to escape pods!

The Hephaestus Cannon Mk. II! Constructed with the best duct tape money can buy, this cannon can easily get any Kerbal into any orbit you desire (And possibly one you don't.) Consisting of 65 parts and weighing in at 37.975 tons, this cannon comes fully equipped with the following: -Docking ports on both sides for easy refueling -Powerful radial engines for powered descent and landing -A very wide base, increasing stability during landing and use -Fully self-sufficient power supplies -Convenient ladders and diving board -Lights for night use http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q786/Saganpie8922/screenshot0_zps65be7344.png Jebediah Kerman prepares for the ride of his life. http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q786/Saganpie8922/screenshot3_zps4eb672de.png Typical trajectory. With the engines at just 33% throttle, this cannon will easily launch any Kerbal up to 115,000 meters (Terrain elevation and slope may affect final trajectory, as in the pictures above). One tick higher than 33% on the throttle, and Kerbals can be launched up to 285,000 meters! WARNING: Do not attempt to use cannon with throttle any higher than 40%. If you do, the Kraken itself will grab the poor Kerbal and launch him/her 90 degrees straight up at interplanetary velocities. Proceed with caution. Once on a ballistic trajectory, a quick burn at apoapsis is all it takes to achieve a stable orbit. A near-circular orbit can be easily reached with 40% pack fuel remaining, more than enough for any adjustments you may need to do. http://i1359.photobucket.com/albums/q786/Saganpie8922/screenshot4_zps18d80ff8.png Orbit achieved with 40% pack fuel, apoapsis is at 140,000m, periapsis is at 119,000m Action Groups: 1.) Toggle Ladders 2.) Toggle Cannon 3.) Toggle Radial Engines 4.) Activate Lights/Satellite Dish Simple, elegant, and easy to land, the Hephaestus Cannon Mk. II is more than enough for your Kerbal-flinging needs! Download here: http://www./?9ubm0amsyvc38e8 Enjoy! -SaganPie

Stupid forum glitchiness destroyed my account Oh well, I only had a few posts anyway. Now, to anybody else making his space cannon, are you all having the same glitch as I am? When I test my design out, instead of firing the Kerbals off in the direction the engine is pointing, it fires them 90 degrees straight up with enough speed to reach 5000+ meters on Kerbin and interplanetary trajectories from the Mun! I have no idea what I'm doing wrong in the design to make this happen. Here's a picture of what it looks like so you have an idea: I'm really happy with this design and all the features it has, I just can't get the entire purpose of its existence to work :/ If anybody has a clue what might be going on, please let me know. PS: While working on this, I had an idea for a design that involves only one engine that could be braced against the Neal Armstrong Memorial. It would save on weight and parts, but I'm not sure how you would balance it to make it easy to launch, fly, and land. Just a thought
