I like the idea for this thread. I don't think anyone should worry about what gets nominated or what the strict criteria are. We're probably the only ones who are going to look at it anyway. XD

Zeke's shuttle was probably one of the craziest I've seen along with Whackjob's creations or Azimech's first dual rotor helicopters.

Oh yeah, that Ukranian guy, I always forget his name. Perhaps his crafts are so crazy our brains can't handle them, lol. :)

This is the genius you're talking about.

Hey zekes, looks like it's going well. :)

What do we think about self nominating? There seems to be confusion about whether or not you can self-nominate. What do you think?

EDIT: Also, everybody please keep in mind when nominating craft, that this is a showcase of craft that have had a groundbreaking effect on the Kerbal engineering world. Just "cool" craft that use standard techniques don't really belong here IMO. Things like azimech turboprop inventions kicked-off quite a trend among daring KSP engineers.

EDIT 2: zekes, maybe you should add links to the nominated craft, so newer people who don't know what they are by name, can look at them :)

Happy Flying

This thread was started because we wanted a place for craft that didn't work anymore but were still cool and we didn't want them to die.

But if everyone thinks it's just me I'll pull my craft from the list.

Ok then, I'll nominate your shuttle zekes. :) Keep the same number of votes. 6 I think it was.

(this is getting quite political. :confused:)

Maybe as a rule now, no self nominating would work best. :)

Then shouldn't the craft that still work be removed from the list?

I don't think so, here's the original idea by myself and the inspiration of this thread.

Why don't we start a thread for "old relics". A bit like a KSP Museum. A selected (possibly voted in) team of specialists would decide what significant craft might make it into the museum, and then compile them into one thread for everyone to enjoy and remember. What do you think zekes? Would you be interested? :)

It doesn't have to just be craft either, it could be any feat in KSP that is worth remembering.

Obviously, a few things are different, in that the general public votes on which craft make it in. However is doesn't say anywhere, that the craft can't work, in order for it to make it into the museum. The craft that should be in are the ones that used innovative engineering techniques that no one had ever thought of, and used them to create really amazing craft.

Also I know it says "old relics" but that doesn't really matter does it? KSP Isn't really that old anyway. ;)

Hope this makes sense.

Yeah. I feel like craft had to have been built before 1.0 to be good candidates for this (of course, stuff can have been upgraded since). I might retract some of my votes if older versions of the crafts are posted here instead.

Actually, rather than disallowing craft by version, we should instead only allow craft a certain amount of time old. Say, if a craft isn't older than 6 or 9 months, it can't get on here. If it is voted here before then, then we wait for it to age.

That's a good idea. I think that would make it less of a "hot" topic, since I personally feel less possessive of older craft. If it were only for craft that have lost some functionality with a new version of KSP, I think it would be even better.

Yeah, I think the time restriction would be handy. I'll compile a list of rules that we can review and discuss:

Please read the following rules carefully before nominating or voting.

Basic Rules for Nomination:

1. No Self-nomination, your craft must be nominated by someone else.

2. The nominated craft must have existed on the forums for at least six months.

3. Please be very thoughtful about your nominations, this thread is going to last a while. Please only nominate if you really think it's worth it.

4. One nomination per post. A user can only nominate one post at a time, and must wait a week before nominating another.

5. Please check the currently nominated list before nominating.

6. Nominator must provide link to the craft.

7. Stock craft only ??? (Up for discussion)

Once a craft has been nominated, it will remain on the nomination list for a month. In order to become a part of the museum, the nominated craft must receive 10 votes.

If these 10 votes are not reached within the month, the craft will be removed from the nominated list. This allows it to be re-nominated, but there must be a 2 week waiting period before re-nomination is allowed.

Voting:

1. 1 vote per person per craft. Please don't vote twice on the one craft.

2. Max. 3 votes per post.

3. NO continuous posting.

PLEASE NOTE:A nomination does not count as a vote.

How do these sound? Please let me know if you think anything needs changing.

Unfortunately lots of crafts that deserve attention don't get any at all. More publicity like this is good as long as people stay mature.

Good luck with that. Almost every system like this, the Epic Engineers, Spacecraft Friday and many others has caused a lot of hard feelings. And yes, I have to admit, I feel very discouraged sometimes when I am not featured even if I try my best.

Some people won't tolerate it easily. I can (I've been told worse before, meh) but I've seen some people even attacking the creators at one Spacecraft Friday thread.

That sounds good.

I also think we should start over, with no nominees or votes.

Therefore I nominate zekes' life-size space shuttle.

Cool, but zekes has the OP. So I can't change anything on it. Anyone know how to get on to zekes?

Yep I think we should start over.

YargJay9991

Sorry I was out, I'll change the first post now.

I'm going to wipe the nominations list so anyone who's nominated repeat them now. As OP, I won't nominate anything.

Does this mean my U-boat isn't nominated anymore?

Unfortunately yes. But if everyone agrees, we may bypass the 6 month rule just for pTrevTrevs U Boat. 3 agreements and it will happen. Sound fair? It really is something amazing, and it should go on the list right away IMO.

Also zekes, I updated the rules a little :)

How about this: if you nominate an already nominated craft, it counts as a vote.

I think that instead of being six months, the rule should be that the craft cannot work in the latest version and it cannot have an upgraded version that still works.

- - - Updated - - -

But either way, I nominate the Odysseus STS by Giggleplex777

Yeah that really nails the purpose of this, I'll change the first page.
