Dodgers3000

WOW! that has got to be the coolest thing I have ever seen in Kerbal.

Wow that is simply awesome, it based off the Aigaion from Ace Combat 6 right?

Glad you like them, it is a fun challenge trying to adapt the Thunderbirds to working designs in Kerbal. I have probably given Thunderbird 3 the the most development time due to it being one of my favourites and how awesome it would be to having a working SSTO that is supposed to have luna range. Here are the older versions, TB-03 Mk I: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577864380331717593/7C4F324DE4409AFEA4F87CB4AA570CF973E88863/ I went straight for looks on this one since the orange tanks are the closest to TB3s red, was a bit too heavy and ran out of fuel with only 1/3 of an orbit. TB-03 Mk II: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641187747042/953B18029E8AD7EACEE23834BD78A182F01A4000/ I went I bit overboard on the looks on this one, the wing pieces I used to mimic the reactor cooling fins proved to be too much dead weight...and when I removed them if felt apart on the pad Since I know the basic shape can get to orbit, I now need to work more on functionality.

Hey new to the forums but not the game. I got to say I love your designs so far Scrogdog, your first Thunderbird 5 is simply awesome. You know since your doing it for fun you could just Alt + F12 to get the cheat menu then hack gravity and turn on infinite fuel to get it to orbit then put everything back to normal. I have been dabbling with my own Thunderbird designs for the past few week, I'll count them down FIVE: Observation outpost in Geostationary Orbit of Kerbin(if I got my math right) http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641220833166/007CA3CDEA5ED934D1ECAEF4DD4175B27EFFC069/1024x768.resizedimage & http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641220811851/CDA67B7B87768A249F1355410FE57F0898AAC7EF/ even with gravity hacked and infinite fuel on it was still a little awkward to get to orbit. FOUR: Crew recovery http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641220842081/D6BD076550DFE0955B3F026FC79D2713DAAF60FF/ I need to fix it's deployment tug so that it separates correctly. THREE: SSTO for space rescue and TB5 supply runs http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641197280603/725C2EE3E78CF16532ECC1005A6F22222820FFFC/ this is the Mk III and the first to achieve orbit. TWO: Heavy Lift transport http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641220797984/09E3EC9DCCEF78206108E1E80D08706F366B85CA/ needs a little work to improve flight profile and get the VTOL landing to work(right now it acting as an extra control surface). ONE: High speed recon plane http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/613893641206277662/E719B54FDA9A42A16033935DEE65C5FFDD7259AD/ it crossed the ocean to the east of KSC in 5mins and took off vertical....needs a lot of work on the VTOL though. Hope you like them and look forward to the rest of yours
