  1. Okay so I'll admit I used loads of mods, especially near future (Kinda cheating really). I started out by firs evaluating a range of different vehicles from nuclear powered engines and conventional engines. Eventually I settled on a huge nuclear reactor with engines strapped on. I then placed it on the single biggest rocket I've ever made and proceeded to launch (Three 5 m stages). The vehicle I had had over 12000 m/s of Delta V. It entered the SOI within 17 years and hit periapsis a year and a half later. I then proceeded to place it in a lovely zero inclination 400km altitude orbit around End. Also this was a top notch mission, really fun thanks!!! (Lots of waiting to warp and burn though!!)
  2. I have spent all day trying to get the small dome part from sketchup to KSP, I managed to get it to the part folder stage yet it will not load up in KSP. If somebody could get this part working I would be ever great full. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3saxhVuJGCTWUNNQkVIQVI5QzA/edit?usp=sharing , the link to it in Google drives.
  3. Possibly, I could rescale the larger ones, however I shall get over the hurdle of making a final part first.
  4. That could be a really good idea, however I first have to actually get the parts working. Plus I could make trees to and foliage to populate the domes
  5. UK Inter Galactic BioDomes By Michael Pooper I am presently trying to create bio domes that you can place objects in and in which Jeb can run around in. The domes come in 5, 7.5, 10, and 20 meter diameters, and have fittings that attach to 2.5 meter and 3.75 meter parts. Presently they will have no functions apart from being structural elements, yet I am looking for suggestions. Future projects after this has been completed include a fusion reactor that will run on hydrogen (liquid fuel) and produce electricity and Helium for use in ion engines (Helium will act in a similar way to xenon as it is also a noble gas, However in real life the ionisation energy is high hence it is not used.) These are the preliminary shots of the fusion reactor models I am currently working on to go with a huge ion engine. I have tried to base as close to the real life toroidal magnetic confinement reactors such as ITER. (Look them up - they will save the world). As the tritium-deuterium plasma heats up in the torus (doughnut) fusion takes place releasing energy, mostly in high energy protons. The energy released continues the reaction. Currently it is 50 years away until the first commercial power producing reactor, and 20 years until the first plasma in ITER. I have decided not to use the laser design as the torus is in a later stage of development plus I think that a doughnut shaped star is way cooler!! . Changelog 03/07/2013 Created Sketchup 3D models, Need exporting to blender and finishing. Started Fourum post. Models should be released soon however it is my first model so be patient. 05/07/2013 Started model for Fusion reactor.
  6. While it is the slowest It is by far the biggest, I think a jumbo jet sized thing like mine would give as much of a shock as a small thing going very fast. Made out of B9 aero parts. Thus I think points should be given for the sheer size of it. Jeb is included for scale
  7. This is my aircraft The Electric Eagle....... Anyways it has a cruising speed of 30 m/s, It has so far reached the island airport. It combines batteries and solar panels for power. It has a light and simplistic construction. I was surprised at the beauty and manoeuvrability of it. The craft uses a detachable bogie for launch as the wheels are too heavy to carry. The force of the decouplers could be considered a boost, yet it would work with out them.
  8. Absolutely insane work, and I love the stockalike nature of it.
