It can definitely get to orbit with no problem. Any suggestions for improvements? Might update it in the future depending on new parts.

A huge space shuttle inspired ship. There are a lot of cargo bays to add whatever you want inside. It's capable of landing on the Mun if you're careful to conserve fuel/RCS along the way. This too many long nights to perfect. It consists of almost all RAPIER engines. Had to tweak the build a lot to reduce drag as previously i couldn't get over 10k altitude. Now it works flawlessly. Parts: 288 Engines: About 73...so prepare your computer to turn into an air fryer. Payload: Haven't tested this yet, but given that we can reach the Mun I'd say about 50 tons + would be fine. Let me know if you do test it. Download: https://kspbuilds.com/build/SSTO-Heavy-Cargo-Shuttle---Inquisitor

Haha that would be like 7 or so craft files i wonder if anyone would be bothered to dock them all. Maybe I'll send them all as a challenge

Amazing effort, nice design too

Build a 'rocket' that is powered by monopropellant. Points awarded to those that can land on the Mun and return back to Kerbin. Rules: No cheats. Monopropellant only. Have fun.

I did fly them, but I was very tempted to teleport them

Thank you, great point! Would be cool to see some practical hydrofoil ships for science, might make a mini version in the future!

So all aircraft carriers in the real world are disappointing.. Why? Well they have no hydrofoils! So we've done the Navy a favor and built this fancy design. Spacebar to activate all engines. Build link: https://kspbuilds.com/build/Hydrofoil-Aircraft-Carrier-"The-Leviathan" Fun facts: Parts: 693 (not much but they are mostly big parts). Lots of lag due to water physics? Big splashdown on launch. it can't be tipped surprisingly, trust me I've tried. To 'fly' the aircraft on top. The first decoupler in staging will disconnect it from the ship. The problem? The A10 Warthog will phase through the carrier ship...its obviously imbued with secret technology. Is it controllable? No. Its too big and laggy. 3 different types of jets on the runway and they have missiles, though the staging is weird once you disconnect the jets: Boeing F-15EX Eagle II Fighter Jet Northrop YF23 Black Widow II Stealth Fighter Aa10 Warthog Is this useful in KSP? No, but it looks cool. Perhaps we could make a useful exploration hydrofoil ship.

Wow this is awesome! Thanks for sharing

Haha it struggles to even get to orbit. Have to activate all engines and it keeps failing. I guess the only point is to test reentry with Dream Chaser

Made the Dream Chaser Tenacity DC100 XXL Version + a very terrible looking ULA rocket that fails. Tenacity is fun to fly around with. Lots of fuel, though not enough to get to orbit by itself. Part count: 118 Build link: https://kspbuilds.com/build/Dream-Chaser-XXL Tenacity is a little big here so there really aren't any rocket parts big enough to make the proportionate sized ULA rocket. ^Looks terrible right?

Testing with a Colony ship, there is basically no wobble for me. Previously, throttling to 5% would show immediate flex but now 100% throttle shows no flex. Very impressed.

Thank you, sometimes the station turns into a scrunchie (different parts bounce off each other causing a crazy wobble) so to unscrunch it i use time warping. Then unfortunately we get misaligned parts. It's like battle scars otherwise you're right, it would have been perfectly straight. Hmm I need to count it but probably around 2.6k parts give or take a few.

It's getting a good stress test. Seems to be holding up i pity whoever tries to launch this thing.

Colony Ship to transport over 1k Kerbals for your enjoyment. Launch vehicle specs & requirements: Mass: 14662t Dry Mass: 3245.95t Parts: 1508 Height: 150m Width: 78m Legend: 78m Will require a refueling ship. Might need to pause mid flight as fuel lines are problematic. Download here: https://kspbuilds.com/build/Colony-Ship---Stage-7---Dres-Station Gallery: How it looks docked with Dres Station:

Cool SSTO Build Once we have Colony parts our stations will be glorious!

Hahaha it's frames per minute I'm at 2fps somehow. This was my first upgrade in 11 years. CPU: AMD 7950x3d Cheap Motherboard: B550M AORUS PRO AX Graphics card: Gigabyte RTX 4090 RAM: 64GB DDR5 SSD: Samsung 990 PRO

It's insane, months worth of effort to build. For individual pieces, some took well over 1 week to get them stable on the launchpad. The worst thing is waiting 5-10 minutes for the rocket to load then having it explode on the launchpad. So glad for the next update! The Colony ship was surprisingly easy. Probably less than 10 launches to get to orbit. Docking is almost done

Our Colony ship is now close to Dres Station! Due to wobbliness, I'm having to time warp frequently to stop the wobble. It's insanely difficult to get close, been at it for an entire day... Place your bets, will the docking explode the ships or my computer? Lost count of how many parts I'm guessing 2.5k minimum.

If other parts i.e a fuselage had this effect I think a bunch of us would actively burn our builds to make them look better

Surprisingly the Colony ship reached space. I'm shocked to be honest...Thought this would take another week. Launch: Felt like 3 fps, exploded multiple times and took 5 to 10 minutes to load each time I launched. I started praying to the Kraken. Turns out the fuel lines were messed up and there was an imbalance. Had to pause the game and sort it out mid flight. Ship started to veer 90 degrees by itself, lucky me it's glorious Now I need to refuel it, so working on a refueling ship to bring about 9 of those hydrogen balls to space. Should be fun. p.s The tail part of the ship wags like a dogs tail. It's a happy spaceship.

Ah good point I'll try! Thank you

Ah yes haha forgot the k. 16k is crazy! How did you launch it? Currently takes a few minutes to load the thing then launch is very explosive. Thank you! Haha going to be far less than 3 fps as I need to also run this whilst our Dres Station (1k+ parts) orbits Dres. If it keeps failing ill save it for 0.2! Fingers crossed persistence pays off here

Colony Ship for our Dres Station. Problems with random disconnecting parts and of course...performance. The Kraken likes this one a lot, can't launch it at all. Mass: 20kt Parts: 1618

Harry Potter Kerman recently purchased a new Broomstick, the jetstick9000. Features: 1 x jet engine. 2 x rocket engines. Not recommended for Quidditch. Download build here: https://kspbuilds.com/build/db7f018e-ea86-4a2e-922e-3b2689
