C. I. D. (Craft Incorporating Designs)


Recommended Posts

Hello, and welcome to the CID thread, or Crafts Incorporating Designs. What is this thread for? Posting rockets that you made that have design elements of another member's/organization's craft. For a real life example, I point you to the Liberty Rocket. The Liberty Rocket is a mixed design, or sometimes referred to as a 'Lego' design. It takes American SRBs that the Space Shuttle used, ad places them on the bottom of the European Ariane 5's Core Stage. The idea of a 'Lego' craft inspired me to make this thread and see what people make in terms of a 'Lego' craft.

Now, here are some rules for the thread:
1) Do not post craft that you solely built! That would be off topic for this thread.
2) You must have permission from the member who's craft you used to mix with yours. If they have uploaded the craft in a thread and have said, "You are welcome to use my craft any way you like, just give me credit" or anything like that saying, you may post it without asking for their permission, but please link to the member's thread where they said that, and also give them credit.
3) Mod pack craft are allowed, such as mixing FASA's Saturn IB with Bobcat's Soyuz. (You don't need permission for posting craft using mods, but of course give credit where credit is due.)
4) You can mix as many craft as you want, there is no limit. You can have FASA's Saturn IB Stage one and two, with Bobcat's Soyuz's asparagus boosters, and have the command module be an Orion Pod from another mod.
5) More rules may apply in the future

Q&A:

Q) I made a craft using my friend's craft, but they aren't on the forum, can I still post the craft?
A) Yes! Of course! But please give them credit! You don't have to give their name, just say your name and then your name's friend or anon.

Q) We already have a craft sharing thread!
A) Yes, but that's any and all craft, this is to narrow it down, because people like narrowed down results.

Q) Can we make real 'Lego' craft?
A) Yep, if you want to share the Liberty Rocket you made, go ahead!

Q) I saw there was a Liberty Rocket already made by someone else, can I still post mine?
A) Designs are like cars, there's a lot out there, but they all have something that makes them unique. Yes! Post your design! You might have used a longer SRB then the one before you, or you could have added some flair to it!

Q) I've posted the A/I version of this craft, but I've upgraded it and made it different in small ways, can I post it?
A) See answer to question above this one! :)

Q) YAY! LEGO!
A) Not the brick kind.

Here's my remdition of the Liberty Rocket. It uses SHDI's pod parts, Tantares' Ariane 5 core stage and engine, and a large SRB from SpaceY heavy lifters.

Action groups:
Abort) Fires the LES and detaches pod
1) Detaches the pod, for some reason the decoupler won't work in staging.
2) Detaches Escape System after you've aborted
3) Toggles Solar panels.

The SRB is set to a gimbal limit of 50 and the Ariane 5 stage is set to a gimbal of 35. The rocket will wobble if these are not set.

Mods used:
SHDI
Tantares LV
SpaceY Heavy Lifters
