Amphiprion

Eve saddens me.

If there is a song called, sodomized by eve, that would describe how I feel right now.

Hi Nori, hows 3600tons fully loaded? I give you the Kethstral. 1,950,000L+- of kethane to fill. Uses 2x Large drills. I launch from kerbin with its tanks empty, then it moon hops with Fatman Atomic Engines @ 600kn/800isp per engine. at launch: 12X large SABRE engines +12 Thor GLobe SRB's then those stage off and it uses 6x fatman atomics to scoot from moon to moon. LOW G moons essential

Azazael, I like your crane rovers, using the HOME+ Bobcat mod nicely there!

ClimberFx- nice one! your ladder looks a hoot.

Bigred: It wasn't too difficult, I had to resize the b-9 sabre multimode engines to fit to 3.75m parts, the ratio increase from the b-9 2m part to 3.5m was echo'd in the parameters of the engine in mass, fuel consumption, etc etc. It was able to get to minimus from launch at kerbin. HOY : If you look at the picture where the SABRE engines are being jettisson'd you will see a docking port. as for KAS winches and quantum fuel, I don't need that if I can dock to the ship. Here's a Laythe Lander docked to the underside: If I need to turn the ship into a fuel depot, I can build a multi port docking sleeve/column that can come out its behind. XbasmanX I sure can share the craft file for my old rover technique, PM me your email addy and I will send you all the rover designs. for the Ramtug you need a few mods I can list for you.. but FYI: much easier to build a ship to refuel that goes up and down.

1,950,000L of Kethane Later and the craft is full. It weighs in at 3604.08 tons. I hope I can take off ...

Here's my latest all in one Keth Refueler ship.. they are getting bigger.. I made this one with a two goals. 1. Contain as much fuel storage as possible 2. use under 200 parts for the finished ship. The Spherical fuel tanks make up the bulk of the fuel storage and are launched from kerbin empty. Taking it to minimus now for a refuel, will supply how many tons it weighs fully fuelled.

I ended up changing the nuclear engine from 2.5 to 3.75, thanks!

Hi nibb, thanks for the reply. your suggestion rescaled the part thank you , I need to find a way to rescale both sides though, because at 2.5 it scales the bottom of the tri adapter to 2.5 size, but the top is over 3.75. hmm

Hi guys, I want to change the size of the KSPX quad and tri adapter from the 2.5m/3x1.25m 2.5m/4x1.25m, to 3.75m/3x2.5m + 3.75/4x2.5m Anyone know what value to give the .cfg part file in asset parameter to achieve this? can I creat a new part with the same info as the 2.5 adapters but with modded asset parameters and just call them 3.75m adapters?

So lets have a look?

How is that similar to my design!!! ahha urs is craaazy!

Hi there, yes, i'm ready to order. Id like the 3.75 diameter nuke engine, with 600kn of thrust. nothing to drink.. thats all thanks.

Yes, the wings are in the new b-9 pack

Vonar, Is that completely automated? like do you have to do anything for it to come up and refuel? can you just sit in the station and watch it come up and dock?? would be cool if that was the case.. and something that would be nice to have enabled and available once you reach a certain milestone in the game.

Hi jeep, I managed to stack 2 tankers(both mobile rover tankers with wheels) ontop of each other ontop of the launch vehicle.. I used a crapload of steel framework and struts to keep them in place and to stop them wavering about. I found the method of using rovers and going up and down way too much work and time, and prefer using gargantuan fuel ships that go down and suck a 420k keth deposit dry then go up and either act as a refueling depo from there, or as an engine stage to take other craft to other planets. Here's a shot of my SSTO plane, and two of these Mid sized kethane miner-refueler-engine docked to it, ready for an interplanetary voyage..

It uses the sabre engines on the outside with kw rocketry wildcats in the centre. sabre's are decoupled once orbit is reached. I tried making one with all sabre engines, but the centre engines overheat quite fast, more than 60% thrust and they overheat.. still working on that.. refuel at minimus then set off for moho.

Hoy!!! hahahahaah insaaaaaaane amount of keth drills you have there , your fps must be past the toilet, past the poo farm, recycled into drinking water. John FX, ditto on landing that monstrosity with **** fps, must of been hard. Sapphire, your designs are rediculous... love that airship. Cuel, Feels like your battleship needs some wings, it looks like an amputee. Landed on Moho, This miner landed on a 470k deposit and tapped out with 45k remaining. 420ishk one shot. I have used as least parts as possible... I do love my fps.. It needs larger Atomic engines than the ones in KSPX as the current KW rocketry "wildcat" ones have a ****ty 370 isp in vacuum. Weighs in fully loaded @ 1041Tons. Note the amount of fuel it can hold in the top right..

Holy crap Sapphire, why is it all so green?? freaking amazing dude, what mods are you using there? is that a vtol dropping off that thing with the treads?? sho! Here is my revised Keth operation.. before I used to have a depot in space and ferry to and from the surface.. now my entire station is the ship that goes to the surface to fill up with keth... I'm using the B-9 aerospace and KW rocketry with this ship.. I got it to minimus from the kerbin launch pad by using the Sabre Multimode turbines, then dropping those once close to kerb orbit. Dropped in on a 350,000L kethane deposit and sucked it completely dry before I got fully topped up.. rediculous I know..

My first SSTO refuelling at the Minimus Fuel Depot.

looks like it doesnt work with the keth turb.

Question: does a ram air intake, increase the power/efficiency at altitude of the kethane mod's zero bypass turbine? the two intake resources look different ram intake=IntakeAir zero bypass= KintakeAir.

Soooo, I have redesigned my keth operations. I no longer use any rovers or tugs as they required alot more take-off's and landings. i know use the large refueling landing craft as a complete refueler for orbital fuel depot's here is my most recent design of one of these on gilly, sucking up its juices.
