Overfloater

Thanks glad u liked it ;o) And thanks for pointing out the name for it (tow bar), I had no idea how to call it... x-D I was afraid it won't work, I totally wanted to use my tow bar... x-D I was having LOTS of trouble lol, the whole thing behaves like a mess! But rest assured, as Katherine has been delivered to a stable 70x70 orbit ;-) Here's what I learned: Bring an RCS pack to put it on the opposite side!!!

My asteroid tug is doing a fine job so far. I named her Katherine. She's a C ;-) Headed for a Kerbin aerobrake...

Here are cool pictures of how I orbited Eve and flew by Eeloo...

This Jool texture is fantastic!!! kinda cartoony/sci-fy-ish, I think it's PERFECT in the ingame screenshot.

Granted. I sold your house to get me the cookie because I forgot to bring my wallet with me I wish I could retire >:-[

the leaves disgust our imploding physics in the universal room of laws

Banned for having a badly drawn "on/off" symbol for an avatar pic.

I converted my space ship to a supertanker asteroid tug!!!

I've made cool fairings for my interplanetary Apollo... ____ Q&A: Does it make rockets fly better? -No. Is it aerodynamic? -In a way Will this conserve fuel? -Not at all. Is it cool enough to use anyway??? -Absolutely!!!

Thanks, glad you liked it... xD My original plan was to make a Jool-5 mission... making my entry special by returning the crew and the science by a plane... So I made the plane, then thought, Lets add another crew canister for balance, now some more fuel, now some more engines, MOAR wings... lets make it a space airliner!!! screw Jool-5 xD (I no longer have to do these sketches, I have my fine laptop with me now...) Oh stop it you... ÃÆ’ u ÃÆ’ That payload weighted 7 tons. The plane can lift 36 tons into orbit. That mission was actually quite a stunt, the plane is not as good for long range as it IS for heavy lifting... However THIS one should be well suited for long-range small-cargo, but as you can see, there's a tiny problem: It's kinda ugly. Also, my crafts break only 5 of your challenge's rules... can they still qualify?? lol xD A legitimate cargo SSTO sounds insane! U're gonna need drop tanks, AND drop-engines. Like some sort of insignificant little boosters just to help you achieve orbit, then dropped off. What would be your opinion about RAPIERs for that project? and aerospikes? and what about all those real life planes that have a jet motor on their butt(many fighter jets for example)? I just like to think of my crafts as wacky sci-fi stuff, that WORKS lol xD Thank u :> It's made of 433 parts right now... lots of work still needs to be done to it. ------- Now that I've finally got my hands on that update...(much later than everyone else has >:-[ ) I had some de-strutting to do and stability tests to conduct: I'm totally taking Mega-Comet for a 2nd trip I'm a bit ashamed of Venera's test resaults... absolutely no de-strutting for that one! In the meantime, I've ROCK HUNTING to do... It's a Venera converted to a super tanker...

Oh... so THAT'S how you use a Kerbal-X... Brilliant! Here's an early test flight of my newest ship... (It's much better now)

Finally }:-[ qromodynmc, that thing looks devilish, I better leave the planet to wait until it goes away Ö ...On my new plane!!! I know I've posted it here already... but this time it's fully operational! yay x-P

Jouni, Fascinating space program and ship designs. xD Today I have put a 7 ton mobile exploration facility on Duna with my shiny new space ship...please, enjoy:

I'm currently making independent single stage space cargo/passenger planes: Have a look if you feel like it

This is very clever! I like how recognizable all these cars are!

PLEASE excuse me if this isn't appropriate for this thread, but... I'm not coming back FROM space today!

Cheesus! you realize how many times that happened to my Mega-Comet??? It happens when I symmetrically copy parts that already have symmetrical parts on them! corruption guaranteed. -- Now that I know how to fly.... I decided to take my old baby for a spin. To show it's full capabilities Astroliner: -Carries 11 crew (3 pilots + 8 passengers) -Can carry payload -Know that problem when after emptying the fuel your CoM decides to take a hike??? Not here!!! This ship is PERFECTLY balanced! Also... I'm right now sending a small Mobile Research Facility to Duna, on an Astroliner VI Venera: I have added MOAR fuel.. I adjusted the tail control surfaces, now it's an excellent flier! I still doubt it will work :I Although, it looks super duper cool and is a pretty good heavy lifter! EDIT!!!1: The Venera has landed in the wilderness, with almost no fuel, and my game crashed (after I saved ;-)) When I re-opened the game the ship got back into space somehow... headed interstellar... : I also learned how to make gifs out of videos lol xD Yet another edit!!! a video!

I've de-orbited a tiny station using my interplanetary bi-plane. After visiting Laythe... xD

I'm glad you liked it xD ...and "NEXT"??? "DUNA"?? u're nuts..! but... I think the same one could make it, but nevertheless, I AM working on something new... o -O But in the meantime, I'd like to contend for one of those 1st class precision awards... :I And of course, what is a space flight worth without paying a little visit to other celestial bodies... xD Astroliner: 1. Puts 8 scientists on laythe 2. Retrieves the 3 test pilots from there 3. De-orbits a small space station from LKO

I performed a test landing on Duna:

Testing my newest ship:

Hey rocket pilot, your ship looks fantastic and if my eyes aren't deceiving those are functional bay doors? sleekest ones I've seen. Where can I see more of it??? --- My newest ship, still much WIP... Astroliner VI - Venera:

KissSh0t I'm so glad you like it! Update!!! Venera now has the fuel capacity of a 1.125 orange tank, and only 8 jets. Still capable of putting 36 tons into orbit. So far, has proven itself useless - last stop was achieving Duna orbit after unloading. Landed quite easily though(!). So... it needs some minor redesigning but I'm very reluctant about changing its look!

@Redrobin you think it's big enough? Alright, Astroliner Mega Comet worked fine... now it's time to get more serious. Astroliner VI - Venera: A small space freighter! right now consists of less than 500 parts... Can put 36 tons on LKO and return. Intended to put smaller cargo on other planets. Of course since it's a WIP... it has some bugs. For instance, its butt is too heavy when empty so THIS happens: But I landed anyway... It also has an excellent braking system that work even when flying, and even in space!!! Can also put 9 tons on Duna, run out of fuel and crash on it. If I was only a half-idiot I'd realize sooner that I've put less than a jumbo tank of fuel capacity on it

I landed on the Mun. And returned.
