http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/53961Obviously not stock, but if you'd somehow not seen it it's a mod you'll probably enjoy.

Yea i have seen this mod but i prefer stock solutions. Everyone can use them.

How about consulting the dark gods for a kraken drive? That'll keep you at altitude indefinitely. Although, if you take it to orbit again, you will just go rocketing off at twenty-odd gees, depending upon which drive you use.

Does it still work in 1.02? Do you have link with a tutorial? Could not find anything.

Could you make one with a gondola? Maybe Mk16 Passenger Cabins?

I have always been fascinated by Zeppelins and when I saw these I jumped at them.

Wonderful to fly!

Glad you like it, i will try to build one with a mk3 cabin. That thing will be huge...

See below for an experimental version.

A SPACE Zeppelin? A SPACE ZEPPELIN?????

Sure its Kerbal SPACE Program... Everything belongs to space.

I have two different versions with 4x NERVAs and one with 1x NERVA but the launcher is not very reliable at the moment...

Launcher with both zeppelins in action:

Experimental S24E12 Zeppelin with MK3 gondola:

Javascript is disabled. View full album

420 parts

h: 22.8m, w: 21.9m, l: 45.6m

mass: 165.5t

It does fly but veeery slow. Maybe more reaction wheels and/or fins will help.

However i tried trimming the craft with unused oxidizer which helps changing pitch attitude.

Real blimps do the same with forward and aft ballonets.

How do you get those renders?

Isn't it Kronal Vessel Viewer?

Edit: should remember to go to last page before replying

Are the wing panels just for looks, I know Colombia had one that was just one giant fairing.

yes, see my first post on this page.

Its a mod called KVV: http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/224287-kronal-vessel-viewer-kvv-exploded-ship-view

Works with 1.02 but runs out of memory fast when taking screenshots, so your game will probably crash sometimes when using it.

also works in ksp1.04 btw

[selfish_meme]

yes, see my first post on this page.

also works in ksp1.04 btw

And you can use it with the 64bit Linux without it crashing, well you can do everything in 64bit Linux without it crashing

Sniff! I remember fondly the days when you could glitch the souposphere into submission:

That thing flew at 5 m/s with no VTOL engines. Those were the days!

Rune. Still, awesome to see blimps are still a thing.

I never learned how that thing worked.

I never learned how that thing worked.

Oh, about a gazillion small control surfaces were clipped inside those tanks, with >45º AoA, and made the whole thing an amazing infiniglider. I do love how now wings are actually useful in SSTOs and such, don't get me wrong, but being able to do those kind of exploits was fun too...

Rune. Almost makes me wanna fire up one of the old installs. I keep them all!

I would but I'm on my school laptop. I'll have to send an email to myself to tell me in the future to come here and download these and-correct me if I'm wrong, I've never done this before-take the files out of downloads, and put them into ships and then sph.
