Vehicle Assembly

[Hysterrics]

~~~Welcome to Vehicle Assembly!~~~

The goal is simple. Work together to build a rocket. Unlike the goal, the process is complex. I will explain now.
One person will designate where the rocket is supposed to go. Start simple and work our way up through the moons and planets. Next, the same person will give a specific command module. It can be manned or unmanned, but cannot be an External Seat. The next posters will build the rocket. Finally, the last poster will finish it off with an engine or engine cluster. That poster will also write "Build it!" in their rocket to designate that this rocket is done. Please use this wisely. If people decide to start spamming "Build It", I will take away this feature. Other posters are allowed to state adjustments in their posts such as "Add struts from x to y" or "Add fuel line here to here". These are the only adjustments allowed. When the rocket is finished, I will build it, fly it and determine the mission success in the table below.

Example:
Poster 1: Let's go to the upper atmosphere! Mk 1 command module.(With blue parachute on top)
Poster 2: Orange Fuel tank
Poster 3: Mainsail Engine. Build it!

Update: You may attach radial parts, but do not go overboard. You may state which symmetry mode as well. You may also have up to 3 non misc. additions such as fuel tanks. Limitation should be about 5 contributions per post. You must wait for someone else to post before you can post again.

 

Missions

1. Recover Mystery Goo Sample in space near Kerbin - Uncrewed - Failure
2. Place a Communications Satellite in 100x100 orbit around Kerbin - Uncrewed - Success!
3. Land on the Mun! - Crewed - Success! (Wow!)
4. Put a probe in 80x80 orbit around Minimus - Uncrewed - Success!
5. Send probe to the Space Kraken - Uncrewed - Halted
6. Place a Space Station Core in a 100x100 orbit around Kerbin - Uncrewed - Pending...

Mission: To recover or transmit observations of Mystery Goo^TM in space near Kerbin's Poles.

Start with a Probodobodyne Hex.

What are the limitations on parts per poster? I notice you put parachutes on your example, so could I have added some solar panels? What if someone wants to attach radial boosters? This game is promising, but may need a little more refinement.

Biomes are only different in space in EVA...

Add mk2 fuselage liquid fuelled.

I add a MK2 fuselage long. (Liquid Fuel)

[cantab]

Since we've got liquid fuel and we're going to space, I'm going to put a nuclear engine under that.

Yeah, we sure got something going on here. I'm going to add one of those blue, thin decouplers under that engine, as well as put a battery in 5x symmetry mode on the probe core.

[cubinator]

I add Mystery Goo in 2x symmetry to the upper fuselage part. 

[cantab]

I'll put the three-way adapter under the decoupler. Those old-school parts need more love.

[cubinator]

A set of FL-T800's under the adapter, connected by struts. Bad things happen when you forget the struts under an adapter...

[problemecium]

I put the Klaw on top of the HECS, because we're going to need it to recover anything.

And another set of those. In fact *two* more sets if it's allowed.

Since constant replys saying "Fuel tank... fuel tank ... fuel tank" would get old, you may also have up to 3 non Misc. changes.

So I'll get 3 sets of those fuel tanks, connected by struts.
 

[cantab]

Put three swivels under the triple stack, and I reckon Build It!

[Hysterrics]

Well I hope you're all happy. I still question the choice of the KLAW on the top.
Regardless, here is your rocket.

This mission wouldn't have worked anyway because, well, we forgot the parachute to recover the science. And for that matter, forgot any heat shield, which would have complicated re-entry. We did not have to face these issues because the rocket did not leave to pad.

Let's start a new. Let's get a "communications" satellite into a stable 100x100 orbit. (Just needs to looks like a comm sat.)

I place one of those unmanned cube control modules. Let's get this going!

[cubinator]

2x symmetry, 1x6 solar panels with no shield on the qbe core.

[cantab]

Dang, knew I shoulda gone for Vectors. But would the previous rocket not have lifted off after it burnt enough fuel?

For the current build, I'll add a 0.625m monoprop tank.

[Rithsom]

I guess I'll add a Communotron 88-88 (the large circular one) on top of that probe core.

[Delfinus]

Followed by 2x symmetry radial Monoprop engines on the monoprop tank, a 0.625m stack separator under the monoprop tank, and the big dish-like antenna on top,

[Monkey29399]

I put a small fairing over the top stage and a 0.625 to 1 meter adapter beneath the separator.

[SmartS=true]

I put a nuke engine, 3 Mk1 liquid fuselages, and 6 radial radiators, cause we're going to Moho!

[SpaceplaneAddict]

I shove an ISRU on, along with two radula ore tanks, and a drill.

[cantab]

2x symmetry cubic octags on the monoprop tank, oriented with the attach node facing out. To each mount a small reaction wheel and a 0.625m battery. It would be terribly embarassing to forget those.

We're not going to Moho...

We already have one of those...

[Hysterrics]

@SpaceplaneAddict  You realize that now the nuke stage won't work because you shoved an IRSU under it without a separator, right? We really didn't need one anyway because this is a communications sat.
Well I'm going to go ahead and put a stack separator under that IRSU and a 1.25 adapter to 2.5.
