Amphibious jet shuttle (built in .25)

[transitbiker]

How do i share this creation with all of you?

It topped out at 132.1 m/s before i paused it to upload this screenshot.

There are 38 kerbals on board this one, and there is one parked 45 km out to sea with jeb and another one on it by themselves. Going ot see how a ship to ship transfer works.... Most likely it will work well...

Is this for atmospheric or orbital flights?

[transitbiker]

It is amphibious, on land and over water only. No flight. Maybe i can put wings on it...?

So this can land in water?

So this can land in water?

Land and sea only. You may be able to take it to a moon or planet with a sea, but it needs an atmosphere to use the jet engines.

It rolls into the water, goes fast on water. It can go fast on land, it can go up onto land out of the water and rescue stranded kerbals.

It has a probe core and a drone core, so you could pilot it empty and rescue 38 kerbals.

One more screenshot.

How do i share this ship, is there a file i need to link or something?

The one in foreground has 2 on board, the other one has 38 on board. Both are max throttle on all 6 engines.

New screenshot:

My goal is to get it to the next land mass east from the KSC, then rescue the passengers (bob & jeb) with an unmanned ship. all ready sitting about 60 km out to the east of the KSC in the water.

I still do not know how to share the ship file, if someone would link me or tell me the info i'd be happy to upload tomorrow!

You can use dropbox, MediaFire or KerbalX, all of them are free, although KerbalX was specifically designed for craft files.

Please warp to daylight before making screenshots...

[transitbiker]

I would have, but it only presented me with the 4x arrow selection seen in the screen shots.

Kerbalx? Ok, i'll look into it....
