I've been lurking silently around this forum for years, but I'm finally feeling bold enough to share some of my creations. It took a long time for my design skills to catch up to my ambitions, but I'm finally getting there. For the past year or so, I've been re-creating pure stock Star Wars Starfighters in as much painstaking working detail as I can, with emphasis on high visual accuracy and realistic(-ish) flight performance. I'll admit that sometimes I had to make use of egregious part clipping, sorta-sneaky wing panels, and shameless engine stacking... but I'm pretty sure people were allowed to do that a long long time ago in a galaxy far far away. I'm on the run from The Empire (read: my responsibilities), so I'll be posting my Star Wars crafts in this thread just a couple at a time over the next week or two. Building them was a colossal time sink, but uploading and annotating them has proven to be another wormhole entirely. In the meantime, feel free to chime in with your own reproductions, tweaks, comments, and suggestions. Follow links within posts to KerbalX for craft downloads and details. *********************************************************************** EDIT: LIST OF SKUNKTWERKS CRAFT APPEARING IN THIS THREAD T-65 X-Wing (ATMO, SSTO) A/SF-01 B-Wing (Folded, Unfolded) TIE/LN Fighter (Solar, Simple) TIE/IN Interceptor (Solar, Simple, Royal Guard Solar, Royal Guard Simple) Podracers (Sebulba's, Teemto's, Anakin's) BTL Y-Wing ATMO Naboo N-1 RZ-1 A-Wing (ATMO, SSTO) Eta-2 Actis-class Interceptor Delta 7 Aethersprite-class Light Interceptor (ATMO, SSTO) Delta 7 Aethersprite SSTO+RCS with Syliure-31 Long-Range Hyperdrive Module Naboo Cruiser, aka J-type Diplomatic Barge (ATMO, SSTO) BTL Y-Wing SSTO Anakin's Podracer SSTO Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing (ATMO+VTOL, SSTO) Nantex-class Defense Fighter (ATMO+VTOL, SSTO) Defender-class Light Corvette VTOL T-65 X-Wing ATMO+VTOL Aurek-class Tactical Strikefighter (ATMO+VTOL, SSTO) GoatTwerks Variable-Geometry Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing Kylo Kerm-Ren's Upsilon-Class Command Shuttle (ATMO+VTOL) ... and more to come! *********************************************************************** Now let's get this nerd party started: SkunkTwerks proudly presents the classic T-65 X-Wing in two specialized versions! The T-65 X-Wing ATMO for atmospheric flight: I stacked Panthers on top of RAPIERS for these sci-fi engines, so if MORE POWER is what you crave, you can always hit the afterburners. Just remember, velocity can lead to Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly, which leads to anger, which leads to hate, which leads to shooting force lightning from your fingertips. In other words, it's totally worth it. Yes, those KX9 laser cannons work! They're about as accurate as Storm Troopers, but they do fire. You get four shots, so make 'em count. . The T-65 X-Wing SSTO for space and atmospheric flight. The SSTO stacks Whiplashes on top of RAPIERS, and the result is easily capable of LKO with several hundred dV's to spare. Hidden docking ports in the nose and the droid's head make orbital refueling possible, if you want to land it on the Death Star Mun. RCS not included, but feel free to add your own. More high-fidelity Star Wars Starfighters coming soon. Until then, may the forces of physics be with you. -SkunkTwerks

I have a question concerning skunk works creations, perhaps you as a community can help. Replication of star wars vehicles, I have painstakingly recreated star wars models, but I am wondering where the copy write laws apply? This is our next planned release. The SWTOR line. Ideas?

High over Kerbin...

The Build a YT1300 Version 2 Is Now Available. https://spacedock.info/mod/1719/BAYT1300 Have fun! Skunk Works Team Bravo

This is the post area for all Skunk_Works related questions. The X34 Land speeder is out. This model cheats the laws of physics, but is very fun and the fastest rover available. NOW RELEASED The Xwing (T65b) The Ywing The A wing The B wing The Standard Tie Fighter Coming Soon And a Build a YT 1300 toy box. Stay tuned, I will check here from time to time.

Everyone remember their geometry lessons? There will be a quiz. “Big Six, flying top cover.” “Little One, starting my attack run.” Both X-wings: can takeoff and land with “repulsorlift” engines. contain a VTOL-oriented probe core for easier hovering. can toggle S-foils between cruise and attack position. Attack mode is more stable during forward flight in atmosphere, but cruise mode is required during takeoff and landing. mount an “astromech” parachute which is mostly decorative. It may assist a repulsorlift landing, but it will not ensure a safe unpowered landing. Mods EditorExtension and HangarGrid were used during construction of both craft, but the results are pure stock. I tweaked the thermo-RCS hinge of @Majorjim! (et al) into a ball-and-socket arrangement by angling the thermometers, which resists longitudinal compression of the axle. Little One moves its two double-wings by deploying flaps against one RCS ball per axle. The RCS is sandwiched between two flaps. This is a bit flappy since they don’t lock into position. Big Six moves its four wings by deploying airbrakes which are sandwiched between pairs of RCS per axle. The wings rotate between two docking positions so the flight engines work in either position. Upper wings dock against the fore end of the machinery bay, lower wings dock against the aft end. Each wing docking will set throttle to zero, so the pilot must mash the full-throttle control until all four have docked. Thanks to research by @Servo, we know the ports must move at least 1.3m before they’ll dock again. That distance (1.3m) is one factor in our geometry problem. Another is the max distance between the axle and the dockingport inside our machinery space, which is 2.5m. Since the radius of the moving dockingport doesn’t change, that makes an isosceles triangle with base 1.3m and height 2.5m. Question: What is the angle of axle rotation? Due to the 4D Tetris of the machinery and the space requirements of the moving bits, they don’t quite fit inside a Mk3 cargo bay. The aft fairing makes the machinery bay a cyllinder 3m long and 3m in diameter with 113 parts inside. Little One Operation Engage SAS. Throttle full.

I'm having trouble deciding what to do next, so I'll let the many people who downloaded the mod(and maybe a few others decide)! BD Addon Mod Link If you have any other suggestions, post them below and I will judge on how many likes each one has.

Just a little BD addon with red, green, blue, and orange lasers from Star Wars, using tibanna gas. ===SpaceDock Download=== ===Alternative Curse Download==== To-Do list: You guys can decide here P.S. I would give anyone partial credit and put their video soon for the mod if they make a modlight about this P.P.S. This was originally posted by KSP Bros AE and I sharing an account, but now this is my seperate account since he took the old one. BD also deserves credit for the models*. Thanks @BahamutoD! More credit: @SpannerMonkey(smce) for part help an fixing and @Wraith977 for part help *For now....

Y'know what, I spent a couple hours trying to get a Mk2 SSTO working and just haven’t been able to do it for the life of me. I spent 15 mins on this just on a whim and this goes into orbit on the second try. WTH. Anyway. Pure Stock SSTO X-Wing for your entertainment.

Weaponry Operations: Firing sequence, Press Spacebar once and the J-20 Juno will ignite, Press Spacebar again and the Missle will decouple and the Sepratron I's will ignite. This process is repeated for each Missle Launch. Landing Operations: Speeds under 100m/s closer to 50m/s, not an easy task because handling speed under 100m/s is difficult and speeds over 70m/s the craft becomes unstable on it's landing gear.
