Help for new interplanetary ship


Kekkie

Recommended Posts

As the title says, I am looking for a big interplanetary ship. But not just big. MASSIVE. Huge giant space cruiser that can go to the outer planets in Outer Planets Mod. Should be able to carry 100 crew, have more than 25k deltav and be at least 1500 tons. Good luck!

Such a craft would be challenging to build, especially with the 100 crew and 25,000 M/s.

It would probably be unconventional and very laggy.

Quite.  The requirement for such high delta-V for that large a ship would bring the ship to hundreds of parts...might be possible in 1.1 with 64-bit support for more RAM, but not in current KSP.  Maybe some over-powered mods could do it.

Really? 100+ crew is easy. A Mk3 Passenger Module seats 16. With just 6 of them you're already up to 96. 25.000m/s dV would start to get interesting but that's just a matter of lots of fuel compared to only a few (preferably one) engine.
Thing might indeed become a bit laggy and don't expect a high TWR. But this is not a challenge, it's just a matter of piling on more fuel and crew .

Yes, true, Mk3s were what I was thinking of originally, but since I have a potato computer I won't get anywhere.

 

I wish everyone else luck!

Please explain something for me.
You want people to build you a 100+ Kerbal monster, right? But you say you have an older computer that won't be able to handle a ship that size. So you are not going to use it. Is this supposed to be a challenge or a ship request? If this is indeed a request why would I bother if you're not going to use it? If this is supposed to be a challenge you should have clearly stated that and posted it in the proper challenge section of the forum.

I think you're mistaken, I'm not the O.P...

@Kekkie is.

Wait where'd I say that?
