my first try on recreating real planes. F-16, F-22, F-15 YF-23 more here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4o4wluow3hd5oju/yBBVeIeWNd#/

i don't think the thrust would be enough. plus you would need an insane amount of generators. you need about 30e/s for two ion engines and one generator only gives you 45/min. i would try this approach with some RCS thrusters. but then you need some means to refuel the rover.

this is my entry: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uhp42rumlr8k9i8/CEGyxJpjKJ 30m/s - 60m/s 20pts Tight maneuverability 20pts (well.. how do i prove that with pictures? ) Efficient Jet Engine 10pts Unguided (no wings) Bomb 10pts Jebediah Kerman is pilot (must not be edited in) 25pts -> 85pts

okay

this was my first ship, the bilkis. i visited duna and ike and had one full tank fuel left when i returned home. it consists of 3 modules (5 dockings). engine section with 7 atomic rockets, habitation and command module with 2 probes and a little space tug, and a heavy lander. and this is my second try, the rhea. bigger, more engines, more probes and a lander with a rover. i am planning on sending it to the jool system.

spacepirates arrrr

you called for spaceirates? here we are!

my bad. fixed

sure: http://www.umluex.at/files/Origin300i.rar you will need B9, pWings and i think i used mechjeb too.. cant remember

this is my rover lander. 4 small engines, 4 landing legs, 2 parachutes, one docking port. thats all i need. i successfully deployed rover on eve, duna and some low gravity moons with this. it may not have enouth fuel for bigger moons though..

hahaha i did the same thing on my first ion space probe

you just have to enter your capsule and leave it again. then jeb will have a new flag to plant

my first docking took about 15 minutes. it was time consuming, but not that hard ..but it took me hours to get a successful rendezvous i always overshot or couldnt match speeds.

it will be a nice opportunity to start fresh. however.. i think i'll spare me the tedious work of assembling my giant space station in orbit again from scratch and just hyperedit it up there.

is the score based on KSP physics? because i am thinking of a spaceprison in lower sun orbit with a giant heatshield. escaping prisoners would burn to a crisp.

this is my first attempt to recreate a known ship the Origin Jumpworks 300i from Star Citizen

nice work you could attach a flipped probe body to your return stage and use "control from here". so your navcontrols would be normal again.

this is mine. serving as an long term scientific outpost + refueling station

i switched over to the B9 Aerospace mod. designing a working SSTO is clearly easier now. this baby can get up to 1800m/s and 26km on jets only. i just LOVE those sabre engines! but i dont think there is enough fuel left for a mun visit...

i recommend using the protractor mod. it's not an autopilot, it simply measures planetary alignments and shows you when to burn.

i got to nearly 26km while careful throttling down, built up speed and then fired the rockets and closed the intakes. SPACE! thanks again!

it would be sooo cool if he used B9 Aerospace. those parts would open up a completely new world for badass ships.

maybe my planes really are to heavy. or i am taking too long ascending yes, i can get up to 25km and 1600m/s, but then i tend to have fuelproblems. and i never tried closing the intakes or throttle back the jets. thanks for all the input!

mostly spikes.

fellow kerbonauts.. seems i am not able to get a SSTO to orbit. i built dozens.. downloaded others.. analyzed them.. built dozens moar.. i think i am simply not able to fly them correctly... - takeoff - steep ascend until air intake drops - slowly leveling off the ascend to build up speed (on average 1600m/s, 25km altitude) - (missing the correct time to ignite rocket engines and flameout flatspin down to a horrible death) - start rocket engines and pull the nose up - just barely miss the orbit with empty tanks how do you do it? are there specific keypoints you have to reach on the way up? how do you balance thrust/weight/fuel reserves? thanks!
