Yeah I'm going to stay out of this mission.

New mission! To land on the Kraken.

Root part: Mk1 Command pod.

This is a mission to land on the space kraken, the other rocket is still being flown to get the probe into space.

I put a kerbodyne 2 rockomax adapter and a fuel tank with a rhyno engine

Are we talking about the Bop Space Kraken? Because we have no nuclear engines or liquid fuel stages. If we are going to Bop using conventional engines and fuel, the rocket is going to be HUGE!

 

Either way, i add a 3,5m decoupler under that Rhino and add two S3-14400 tanks under it.

 

[cantab]

Remember those I-beams? Attach a Rockomax 16 tank to each of them, and run fuel lines to the mainsail.

Maybe I will too.

I feel like this thread is dying right before my eyes

 

Can someone fix things here?

Lets just what for the ion probe mission is done, then continue.

This mission really kinda flopped. Considering I really don't know where the space Kraken is, and to be fair it sounds like quite to journey for only have done 3 missions, 2 of which has been successful. I'm not really sure what the I-Beams are for. I'm just going to go ahead and put everyone out of their misery and get this over with, considering it was only when the Kraken mission came into existence the thread really took a turn for the worst.

Sooo, mainsail engine! Build it! wooooooo

Also, the Minimus probe mission was never built, so I'll get on that now.

Now let's start a new one. I'm thinking that, well, we managed to get to the Mun so I'm thinking we get something else accomplished. Let's build a space station around Kerbin!
It's going to be in a 100x100 stable orbit. Let's start with the space station core.

I'll place down the biggest unmanned control unit. With a Rockomax brand adapter on top, and a Clap-O-Tron docking port on top of that.

Color me surprised. I thought for sure I'd killed it with that random RTG xD

Underneath the 2.5m probe core, I add a Mobile Science Lab.

Derp I skipped a page xD

[Hysterrics]

The mission was a success! Though, the to Ion stages were unnecessary, didn't even use them.

 

Anyway, I'll add an antenna, a Z4K battery underneath the lab and a 2.5mm monoprop tank under that.

Radial attachment point over one of the science lab windows. Cupola on that. 1.25m docking port on the cupola's main window

I think when the build command is issued, we should wait for the results before continuing maybe. Otherwise it gets confusing.

I'll add the same on the other side of the lab, so that we have balance during the launch. I also add 4x symmetry Illuminator mk1 lights on the reaction wheel near the docking hub pointing to the docking ports, so that they are easily visible on the dark.

 

I think we should skip the rocket itself and let the builder put things in orbit the way he wants, so we can focus on building the station's modules and make things simpler.

[cantab]

2x symmetry I-beams sticking out from the big battery. Four Gigantors on each, arranged to taste.

Hmm. I guess we could do that.

Anyway, I'll add 2 retractable 1x6 solar panels near the bottom.

[cantab]

Senior docking port under the monoprop tank, but placed the wrong way up. Because half the KSP community has done that at least once with those ports.

[Jeanjvs]

I'll add 4x symmetry RTGs between those Illuminators and a SC-9001 Science Jr. over that same reaction wheel. I guess the Science equipment is the last thing we should put on this first module.

 

 

[Joshwoo70]

radial attach 4x symmetry docking pirts to the middle of the module.

[cantab]

2x symmetry puff engines on the ends of my I-beams, thrusting down.

[Jeanjvs]

I'll add 8x symmetry RV-105 RCS blocks on the Science lab. BUILD IT!

 

Next module: Fuel tanks

I'll start with the biggest probe core and a senior docking port on the top.

[Greenhornet553]

I add a Rockomax X200-32 under the probe core

[bigyihsuan]

>Add another Rockomax X200-32 underneath the first one.

[Greenhornet553]

May I add an FL-R1 Rcs Fuel Tank and 4x symmetry RCS Thruster Blocks below it pls

Edited December 23, 2015 by Greenhornet553

[Jeanjvs]

I'll add 6x symmetry MK3 10000L liquid fuel tanks radially to those Rockomax tanks.

Anyone up to building the core? If not I shall.

For the station. I was asking if anyone wanted to build it and fly it, and if no one was up to it I would.
