ships I've made so far(mod parts)

sirmonkey · July 28, 2011

instead of making a new post for every ship i make i'm just going to keep posting them in one thread.. most of the ships i make use modded parts because the stock ones are boring.

surprisingly this one worked, its taken me a while to get it to work repeatedly but i figured it out..

Boosters and liquid fuel engines fire at the same time but i set the liquid engines to 0% power as the boosters lift the ship. as the boosters start to run out of fuel i slowly power up the liquid engines to about 45%. this was just a short flight, i can probably add 1 more fuel tank on it to get it to go further though and not have it completely fall apart on me.

i don't have a name for it yet so if anyone has any ideas feel free to post them.

Flight time is roughly 5 minutes long.

ship parts(i have so many mods installed right now i can't remember which parts are from which mod's sorry)

5 SAS modules

1x3 module adapter

2 FL-R1000 fuel tanks

HS-300 stack decoupler

3m to 5x1m adapter shroud

5 E-500 engines

4 CMM-96 surplus boosters

i may post a video at some point but i don't have the time right now to do it.

ship file is posted below (quad booster)

The W_T_F Rocket

I have absolutely no clue how this thing works. it took about 30 attempts to modify it and i've only been able to get it to take off correctly once out of 5 attempt's but it does fly.

parts:

a ton of triple lateral couplers

16 SAS modules

a bunch of nose cones

4 XL fuel tanks

4 E-500 liquid fuel engines

flight time ~29 minutes

update 7/28

just a ship i came up with while i was bored.. I call it Warp speed and surprisingly it flies pretty well if you slowly power up the liquid engines on launch.

Parts:

15 SAS modules(yes all 15 are needed)

2 tri-lateral couplers

quad coupler

4 decouplers

4 warp nacelle fuel tanks

4 nacelle engines

4 QS-91 stack decouplers

4 FL-S200 fuel tanks

4 E-600 liquid engines

craft file is below (warp speed)

heres another one i came up with. though it has no name and i can't post the craft file since the game corrupted it some how. it will only load the capsule and SAS modules.. everything from the second decoupler down is missing.

update 7/29

Meet, the flying surfboard.. total pain in the arse to take off with because it instantly wants to fall over, so you have to launch immediately when the count down starts. through the flight i realized that the Necelles tri coupler is broken though. the center point will always stay attached, but the second you release the first stage the outside couplers disconnect. happens with each stage release but the ship stays in one piece luckily. also the warp nacelles dual pylon's break the ability to save the ship so again there will be no craft file for this one.

Parts:

3 warp nacelles dual pylon couplers

a ton of SAS modules

6 nacelles fuel tank's

6 nacelles engines

6 QS-91 stack decouplers

3 FL-S200 fuel tanks

3 E-600 liquid engines
