[borbalf]

Hi all, that's my first post on the forums!

Even if i've been around here for almost and year, i never posted any craft... but i liked this one so much that i decided to show it:cool:

I'm proud to show you... the BKSA Exodus Class Mothership!

And now, some specifics:

Pre-launch tonnage: 657,68 T

Crew capacity: 11 (cupola, Mk2 cockpit, 2x Mk2 crew cabin)

Fully fueled dv: 5973 m/s

Engines: 7x Kerbodyne KR-2L Advanced Engine

Total thrust: 17500 kN

Kerbin TWR: 2.71 (max 13.45)

Main cargo bay: Mk3 Long cargo bay with sr docking port

Service cargo bay: 8x Z-400 Rechargeable Battery, 6x RTG

Docking ports: 3 sr docking ports (2 on front, one in Main cargo bay), 2 standard docking ports (left and right), 2 small docking ports (under the cupola pod)

Monoprop: 1025 units

With a semi-random ascent profile i reached an 85x72 km LKO and more than 1200dv left, but i guess you could squeeze some more following a better ascent profile. I had 4653+5687 LFO and all the monoprop (4T) left, so about 1.6 orange tanks, so it can deliver ~55T to LKO (putting them into the cargo bay and using all the fuel).

Here's the dropbox link:

Put it inside your SPH folder, not the VAB!

Hope you like it,
