[Stock Craft] R.M.S Titanic replica

[Columbia]

RMS Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, UK, to New York City, US.

Top Speed: 16.8 m/s

Parts: 301 

Handling notes: Generally sails well, quite agile for it's size, be careful to avoid yawing too hard since the ship could roll.

Thanks for viewing!

I think you should know that if I ever manage to build a submarine with effective torpedoes, I will use this ship as a practice target. Just sayin'.

I can't help but notice a distinct lack of lifeboats...

Awesome model.

Now we just need a to scale ice berg.

Sorry, @Columbia, but this boat sinks.

For reals, does it split along the middle, like IRL? You might be able to do that with decouplers.

Nice!  I don't think I've even seen anything like this.

@Dman979 Punny!

Hey @Columbia

A suggestion for fixing the capsize thing:

Have you tried adding an ore tank or two at the bottom, attached to an I-Beam? It will bring your CoM down. I still haven't downloaded 1.05, so I can't test it myself.

I think the story of the 1915 Cunard ocean liner Lusitania becomes relevant here:

The real ship had only half the lifeboats needed to accomodate everyone on board.. Well, for KSP, the ship has none of those!

I am now tempted to ram this ship into one.

Heh, no wonder this ship's waterline is so low!

I might not be able to do that, the ship's structure is connected in such a way that.. well, spearating the ship like that might be hard.

I can't test it myself; currently in San Francisco (I literally flew three days after an operation ._.) and don't have access to KSP at the moment. Great idea though!

Nice work with lots of detail, thumbs up here!

I got an Aircraft Carrier I plan to release soon and you can use it also for your target practicing too if you would like!

[Azimech]

I'm planning to make a special version of my mod, to build a real sized Titanic + iceberg, complete with sinking simulation like the breaking in two. Will probably be released after KSP 1.1. This is going to be part heavy.

Well, I tried it, the ship blew on impact with the water upon moving t with VesselMover onto the water. The ship might be too heavy..

[Azimech]

I'd like to try that.

If you suckup all the ore than yes they do
