Some of us dream of building rockets this way. Will it be more reliable than the original?

[Azimech]

This will take months to complete. It may need Unity 5 and all the mods updated. But it will be glorious.

Yes. It's an accurately sized N1 first stage. I might even replace the mainsails with updated Bobcat NK33 engines.

Comment if you want a RSS/Real Fuels version.

I must spread around rep before I can give you more.

All I have to say is, wow... just wow.

[Motokid600]

Wow. I have been wanting to do exactly that, but wrapping it in a procedural fairing. Great job.

[Azimech]

Ohw, the procedural fairing will come.

But it won't be Squad's and I'm going to mount it without a baseplate.

PSA: You got some balls.

[Majorjim!]

Why the horrific mess of fuel lines? Surely you only need one from the top tank to the bottom and then one to each engine right?

[Azimech]

Well ... because we can!

And you can't have the fuel lines for the RP-1 running through the LOX tank, they go around. The other fuel line colours are just greeble, I say they're telemetry cables.

[Alewx]

Almost 500 parts, that is really crazy, how is your performance doing so far?

What is a greeble? Parts for parts sake?

This bad boy really needs to make friends with the welding mod

Something tells me that welding that would not really give the result he is looking for^^

Referencing spaceships, it typically means stuff attached all over the outside of the hull, especially if it looks like it must be functional but really isn't.

Riiiight. Thank you.

Yeah, remember the Y-wing by Mad Rocket Scientist?

Anyway ... I dream of the day we'll have complex circuitry, hydraulics and such. I love designing those systems. Imagine a team of 5 people together building a rocket out of 20.000 parts, with a lot of working electronics and such. One day, that's reality my dear friends!

That would indeed be spectacular! Yes, I remember him using it in his thread. Thank you.

[VR_Dev]

This is super impressive. Nice work

[LABHOUSE]

Try to make a full sized N1 with accurate insides and stop making shuttle...

Make shuttle and start on N1 after it is done...

Do both...

Which to choose...

[Azimech]

Making a shuttle out of aluminium and titanium with a real frame can be fun too. I started once but used steel back then. Thing became very heavy.

Now that we have aforementioned materials to choose from, it's nice to give it a go.

[Motokid600]

I'm actually thinking about doing an entire play through like this. Every rocket gets individual liquid fuel and oxy tanks with RealFuels.

However I've always been very confused as to how to calculate the ratio of fuel to oxy. And on top of that how to calculate it using different engines, different number of engines and then different types of fuels.

[Captain Sierra]

Whackjob would be proud.

[xenomorph555]

This thing is gonna be godlike!

Hopefully the L3 recreation is just as good.
