[Music] A Project: Craft (And Voices!) are Needed.

[Starwhip]

I'm making a parody music video for KSP. (Of "I've Gotta Feeling") For several of the "chorus" segments, I'll be displaying individual craft, celestial bodies, flags, etc. During the "main" song, it will be one ship (Which I'm building. It's hard to make something look nice and Kerbal at the same time. )

Anyways, I was going to have some of my old ships for the chorus bits, but it would be less work on my part (having to refit them for 0.90.0) and would be interesting for the Community to participate.

For now, there is no set release date.

If you want your craft in the video, upload it and put the link here. Depending on how many I get, I might have to choose between them. (Though I probably can fit all of them somewhere, like the credits.)

Each craft will have a mention in the credits, in order of showing in the video, a link to download it, and the username of the person who built it.

EDIT:

If you are interested in actually participating in the song itself, by composing music or singing, shoot me a PM.

Soon We’ll Be Leaving Music Video Script

Soon we’ll be leaving,

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Leaving,

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Leaving, (so soon),

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Leaving, (so soon),

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

All fuel tanks full now, all gimbals locked,

All boosters ready, launch window’s hot,

Guidance green, we’re throttled up,

Three-two-one, zero, main engines -- ON!

G-forces pushing us down to the ground

Boosters are burning with great waves of sound

T-plus-thirty, now, firing, first stage away

Second stage ignition, now we’re on our way

Here we go!

We’re flying up, our orbit’s clocked,

Main engine cutoff, staging’s unlocked,

Separator firing, third stage is on,

Periapsis’ rising, we’re sailing into the night,

We flew it, we flew it, we flew it, we flew it,

And flew it, and flew it, and flew it, we flew it up

And flew it, and flew it, and flew it - flew it - flew it

We flew it, we flew it, we flew it - flew it - flew it

We’ll soon be leaving, (so soon),

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Leaving, (so soon),

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Mun transfer’s ready, (Ready!)

Inclination matched, (Matched!)

The Skipper’s burning (Burning!)

All conics patched, (All conics patched)

Apoapsis up now, (Up now)

The burn is done, (Yes it’s done)

All panels open, (Open)

To catch the – Sun!

New burn is planned (planned)

Engine on (on)

Our orbit’s flashing (flashing)

Coastin’ ‘till dawn

Comin’ in, hot! (Hot)

Thrusters now, (now)

We gotta stop

Soon we’ll be down there again

We flew it, we flew it, we flew it, we flew it,

And flew it, and flew it, and flew it, we flew it up

And flew it, and flew it, and flew it - flew it - flew it

We flew it, we flew it, we flew it - flew it - flew it - flew it

Radar null, engine’s full, guidance is locked

(lock lock lock lock lock)

Vectoring, S.A.S., fuel gauges drop

(drop drop drop drop drop)

Slowing down, coming ground, craters don’t stop

(stop stop stop stop stop)

Fine controls, R.C.S., we’ll land this rock

(rock rock rock rock rock)

Carefully, floating down, engine thrust is low, now

Gear’s on, coming round, coming round and locked down

Cut, cut, cut, the engine now, it’s the only way, (way)

Landing’s in our day, landing’s in our pay.

And soon we’ll be leaving, (so soon),

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Leaving, (so soon),

‘cause tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yeah tonight’s gonna be the big flight,

Yes tonight’s gonna be the big-big flight.

Sure, I'll donate the Smoothboost 3. It may help you with some design ideas as well.

Perfect! One down, somewhere around 20 to go.

UpsilonAerospace has agreed to compose the background track, and I'll have a first draft of the actual singing done soon.

[Starwhip]

The main ship, Munbooster I, is completed. Looks half-decent, has everything the lyrics say it should, and is fully-functional as a Mun landing and return craft.

I've started recording a bit, too; both audio and video.

[ghostbuzzer7]

Let me get a rocket ready that actually looks nice

[Thomas988]

Hmmm, I'm quite interesting in making some crafts. Is there anything you'd like me to make, Starwhip?

Make anything you want. Basically, I want to demonstrate just how creative you can be with the game.

[ghostbuzzer7]

I think the M.A.R.S. ship would be nice to use. Modular Booster System OP.

Oohh ohh and this completely stock the AeroSpace Z-29 Gyro VTOL

[Endersmens]

Do the craft need to be stock? Do they need to be space vehicles only?

[Starwhip]

Do the craft need to be stock? Do they need to be space vehicles only?

Stock, yes, or submit video of decent quality of the modded craft.

And wow was this dug out of the forum's nether regions...

[Overland]

*excited squeal*

would you be so kind as to accept a mark 3 landliner made with only sam hall's cockpit kn2 mod that comes with turbines?

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/66502-Kerbonov-Kn-2-Cockpit-Module (Sam Hall's cockpit + Turbine)

http://kerbalx.com/Overland/Movie-Train (My craft file for this train)

EDIT : Ive done my best to create a learner driver varient of a landliner train.. shes set to half throttle.. rolls with the corners.. has rear and front steering so its unlikely you'll lose control of the train at anything below 30m/s the only real problem is popped tyres but shes a capable engine..

ive taken the liberty of installing RCS on the loco and science car incase something does go wrong.. with SAS activated she should stablise..

all up though.. she drives a hell of alot better than any mainline train ive built.. specificly engineered for ease of use while looking as good as possible using stock parts and just sam hall's cockpit

I dunno if its what your looking for.. but.. if your looking for something to show what KSP is capable of.. trains certainly have their place.. although I admit slight bias on the subject
