Sweet!!!

Again, just be careful after you leave the polar ice-flats. Platipii are really fast, and the one problem I had is if I stopped paying attention, and it got going too fast downhill or something... one bad bump at 50 m/s or faster and the whole thing will rip apart. I did a lot of F5/F9 during the road-trip because of excess speed.

I mean at one point after that photo the chassis disassembled itself but the actual crew areas survived.

Moar replicas...

The only part I couldn't do accurately was the RCS... considering using @SparkyFox's mod to get those old thrusters back... that is, if it has those... perhaps it doesn't.

Edit: Apparently, just dropping the old part files in a newer GameData and changing the name works too... even if it is a little weird

No, Francis is something high% metal, the platypus in question is a semi-aquatic egg-laying mammal of action who never flinches from a fray, has a beaver tail and a bill, and is Perry (a.k.a. Agent P)

Just as a friendly question, who are the Kerbals? I can tell by the suits that they are non-specialists, but, just to be curious, who are the exact Kerbals? (You better not have a Gemina and a Something in your install... oh, wait, they're both boys... uh... you know what I mean. What was I talking about?).....

 

Wait a minute...

Confused. Scans show that the distinctive green planet on the right of the first picture is... no, it can't be... (double Starbound reference, yeah!) My Starbound install actually just... won't work. I'm mad at that. Nice Doodlebugs, though!

By the way, I Googled, and it, in fact, is "platypuses". :0.0:

This was discussed a while back. It's actually "platypodes".

As far as the Kerbals, they're Jeb and Bill.

Jool.

Don't ask.(or you can, I guess)

@Just Jim I don't think it was pure coincidence that the nearest vehicle was extremely fast and didn't corner badly either...

And, of course, I gave it a very imaginative name...

Flips vertical with the back end up. HOW DOES THIS EVER WORK???

You have to make sure the COM is as centered as possible... and there are a couple tricks to keeping it level. I'll try and follow-up on this for you tomorrow.

Mrcarrot, I think you are now probably the official Emiko Station merchandiser......... :P

To be honest, it was rather easy.... I reused the ring section I made for Emiko Tower....

Next, do Eve Science Base and The Chariot (now disused because of WBI's Bison and Buffalo lines. Do those too).

Well, I have started on the Chariot... haven't made it far past the Cupola however...

As for the WBI stuff, It would appear that @DeltaDizzy has that covered...

Let's make a table of Emiko Craft, Difficulty, Type, and Alliance.

Doodlebug 1 (Easy) RCS Saucer (RCS craft) None  
Saucer Mothership (a.k.a. Omega-77) 2 (Easy-Medium) Rocket Thompberry Kerman/None  
Kraken Capture (capture of Harfield and Jandolin 3 (medium) Space Cruiser Thompberry Kerman  
Platypus 4 (Hard-Medium) Rover New KASA  
Emiko Shuttle 2 (Easy-Medium) Rocket Old KASA
Tower of Power 3.5 (Medium-Medium Hard, considering that it has embedded "Twitch"/"Spark" engines Ground Base Old KASA
Chariot 3 (medium) Interplanetary Rover Old KASA
First Launch 0 (Super Easy) Rocket What was the original club called, again?
T-rexasaurus 4 (Hard-Medium) None None
Emiko Station 6 (Super Hard)(unless you have a giant asteroid, and then you need to do the modules, etc.) Asteroid Space Station None

 

KPBS Lab 3 (Medium), launcher, 2 (Easy-Medium), payload/orbiter/lab Space Cruiser I Forget...
Thompberry's Brain-Pod RCS Scaucer 2 (Easy-Medium) Thompberry Kerman
Annabel Lee Airship  6 (Super-Hard) New KASA
Diamondback-class SSTO SSTO 4 (Hard-Medium) Old KASA
Dresperation Starship 3 (Medium) Kuzzter Kerman and his crew
The Nearest Vehicle Rover 1.5 (Easy-Easy-Medium) Old KASA
Alpha-Delta-77 Rocket-powered Explorer 2 (Easy-Medium) Thompberry Kerman
EMP landers Lander/Rocket powered Explorer 3 (Medium) Thompberry Kerman
E M I K O  T O W A H Space Station 2 (Easy-Medium) for payload, 5 (Hard), for launcher/faring Supposedly Old KASA
Thompberry/Duna Station Space Station 4 (Hard-Medium), for payload, 6 (Super-Hard) for faring/payload. Old KASA
Chariot Rover 4 (Hard-Medium) Old KASA 
Tracking Station Destroyer Missile 00 (Unknown) Thompberry Kerman
KASA Rover Shuttle Rover 1 (Easy) Old KASA
Monotreme Airship 5 (Hard) New KASA
         
         
         
         

Actually, speaking of Old and New KASA, I'm not really sure where the line is drawn. At first I thought, "Well, Thompberry's transformation, of course!" Then, "Well, when Thompberry reformed!" Then, well, when the Chariot fell out of use! Then,"Well, when WBI dominated the industries!" Yeah... feel free to wonder!

Since you keep doing the easy ones.

The indicators if anyone needs them

I would guess your COM/COT isn't aligned. Try maybe aligning them?
