My new way to colonize

[Kianykin]

The flying box/dropship in the background brought all modules. The dropship has to cargo floors with working elevator and door. All stock parts, but kerbal joint reinforcement is used to keep struts down. Video coming soon!

Holy Crap! So that other one was pretty much just a proof of concept, now you're making the real deal!!

[robopilot99]

Very nice. Is that thing single stage or is there a separate launcher segment? Do ypu know if it will hold together in stock physics.

[7499275]

Holy mother of... How? Can't wait to see a video of how the elevator and stuff work.

[RocketPilot573]

You did what? In Stock?

Also I like how the walls are made of kerbodyne fuel tanks, so Kerbal.

[Zephram Kerman]

Rover wheels as elevator actuators? That can't possibly w- oh, what? It works?

[Kianykin]

Its ssto launch on kerbin. need refueling in orbit which takes ages because its 1130 parts unloaded. Nukes give it enough delta v to go anywhere, but depending where you go you may need a fuel depot in orbit at the landing planet. It can also lift 100 tons worth of cargo.

Build bigger, my brother. It's good to see others taking up the torch in my negligent absence. ^^

[Bill Phil]

That's not colonizing.

That's CONQUERING.

My god! No matter which picture I look at, I always see my computer lagging!

[Hotblack Desiato]

wow, now that's a dropship... whackjob-worth.

take a look at ubiozurs partwelding mod. it allows to merge parts into larger structures which greatly reduces the partcount. there are just a few designrules.

Man, that looks very kerbal

[Sneaky Neko]

That's not colonizing.

That's CONQUERING.

Agreed!

Wow, Kianykin, you are my hero O.o

This is awe inspiring amazing goodness.

Well played sir!

For the time being im using a dedicated landing vehicle that can either support or suspend the payload, it lands, lets go of cargo and either takes off again immediately or will a touch and go and land nearby.

Nothing compaired to that.

I likes

EDIT: Your not using kerbal attachment system! what the... You've done this is stock. I see kerbodyn engines but.. but.. no kas. That is even more of a breathtakingly remarkable creation.

How did you lift that thing to orbit?

(I'll assume that's not career mode)

[Vindaloo]

Awesome stuff!

[Rune]

Hey, a Base-In-A-Box! I thought I was the only one that did those things. Now, I'll gladly admit, yours certainly takes the crown in sheer complexity and probably downright awesomeness. But then again, mine is expandable into glory and, you know, actually playable.

Rune. I'll be sure to rep when I get home to a computer!

[Torham234]

Clicked out of curiosity.

Seen pictures.

Checked OP's name if its Whackjob.

Found out that it is not.

Eyebrow risen...

Nice little ship you got there...

[Sirrobert]

Holy crap, that is awesome

[ShadowZone]

Holy mother of... How? Can't wait to see a video of how the elevator and stuff work.

My thoughts exactly

[keeper]

nice

[Seshins]

very impressive. Your creativity and ingenuity surpasses my own considerably.

[DunaRocketeer]

Outstanding.

[samstarman5]

That thing is in super-size form what I do with cargo bays. I've used every inch of space of those things to place cargo and ship-critical parts like RCS fuel.
