  1. Check out Trojan Subassemblies (link in my signature) for craft files I used in my missions. I have one that is a Mun lander that uses KSO OMS if you want to try it!
  2. The warp drive itself can be the weapon. As soon as you turn off the warp drive at your destination, you might wipe out whatever lays in front of you with an expanding bow shock of photons and high energy particles.
  3. There is a complete difference between not liking an idea and attacking a person. I do not need to prove anything to you.
  4. Yah but that guy's home and base/headquarters/wherever he controls the drones from is next on the target list.
  5. I am using ATM and low settings! haha
  6. The 78th of my STS KSO Shuttle Missions! STS 178 is the eighth flight of Ascension, the Super 25 Flagship! STS 178's objective is to deploy the Colony Logistics Module on Asteroid Kerpophis. The Corporatists have issued new uniforms from Green Skull's KSO Pack! Get yours today! STS 179 will deploy the Kerpophis Colony Habitat Module #2!

  8. Thanks for the responses! Definitely talked me out of writing this into a plot lol.
  9. Porsche! There is no substitute.
  10. Thanks for the responses! The advantages gained by a person over an unmanned or autonomous drone vehicle: Hacking. One person or an AI could hack into and take over unmanned vehicles. Now of course a person's computer can be hacked and so could their flight systems, I'm just coming up with a sci-fi rebuttal. The advantages of warping fighters over warping larger ships alone: As fighter aircraft developments have shown, multipurpose fighters actually suck at all areas. Now it doesn't matter if air superiority has been achieved, obviously. But purity always wins over compromise in fighter design. The 1970's dog fighting style: When both planes are sophisticated enough to evade all the long range weaponry they wind up face to face in a knife fight. This happened in Vietnam where the original F-4's didn't even have guns/cannons. Warp Drive Doesn't Exist: Totally agree on this and the reason I tagged it Sci-Fi. I do not think that exotic matter exists either. However, I just majored in physics and am not going to completely rule out pretty math just yet lol. I should have tagged the original post with a disclaimer that warp drive probably can't happen anyways.
  11. I've seen many people say and write that dog fighting in space will never exist. That the Battlestar Galactica's and Star Wars fighters would never exist. But I think they are wrong! I imagine little fighters jumping in and out of warp drive in small areas, like dog fighting. Imagine warping to your enemy's six! The ships would have limited energy supplies and would have to reserve some for warping from their carrier into battle and warping back to the carrier. What do you think?
  12. Barry, a planet pack included in Krag's planet factory creator edition, is a binary system orbiting a black hole.
  13. Yah but the Icarus nuclear engine regenerates its fuel. I can tour whole solar systems in one trip and never worry about fuel! It's amazing lol.
  14. I posted a link to the Planet Factory planets that I used to populate the stars. All credit goes to the planet pack creators and the file is just an example of what you can do. It's a couple pages back if you want to download it and try it out.
  15. Also, the SSME's have a really interesting design in that their inner cones have hundreds of micro tubes carrying the fuel into the center, where it is sprayed out. Basically, the fuel travels along tiny pipes on the inside edge of the rocket nozzle and the heat of the rocket exhaust combusts the fuel. So if the rockets were to run dry, they would have destroyed the cones as the liquid fuel kep the engines intact in the first place. Imagine if the combustion in your car was caused by lining the hottest parts of the engine with fuel lines to cool it, and if you ran it dry the fuel lines would cease to cool the engine and everybody has a bad day. "RS-25 schematic. A functional diagram showing the flow of propellant through an RS-25 engine. Very high flow rates are needed in the main combustion chamber, so the energy to achieve this is generated in upstream combustion "pre-burner" chambers that generate a partial burn to drive the high pressure turbopumps on both the fuel and oxidizer sides. Pressure feeding the preburners is maintained by the low-pressure turbopumps. Routing fuel through the nozzle serves to both cool the nozzle as well as pre-heat the fuel."
  16. Nice ship man! How long until it runs out of fuel? I think I'm gunna always use the nuclear engine because it regenerates fuel and allows for unlimited travel. : )
  17. Thanks man! I did edit the Radial Command pod config to include the generic 3 IVA and it would be awesome if it had a hatch too. Same with the lab module, but that side logo looks so good I couldn't leave it out haha. I've already tested the mod on interstellar voyages and it works perfectly.
  18. Yah man def, your camera movements with kerbcam and your after effects are great! I could certainly learn a few things from you.
  19. I had problems with Interstellar too, so I am using the Icarus Parts Pack to go interstellar. Here is a quick preview of the series I will be doing this fall! Deep Space Kerbal! Join the crew of 'Discovery,' the first Icarus Class Star Ship, on their maiden voyage to the stars! Discovery launches Fall 2014.

  21. Deep Space Kerbal! Join the crew of 'Discovery,' the first Icarus Class Star Ship, on their maiden voyage to the stars! Discovery launches Fall 2014. Using the StarSystems Mod and Krag's Planet Factory, anyone is now able to create full, working multiple solar systems complete with planets and moons in KSP. Which is how I am creating Deep Space: Kerbal!
