pmborg Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) later on I can share more details, (remote now) If you look to the current size of the ship it is already huge, 45m diameter 1.4km long, 1 million tones when full loaded. Now image a super large ring with instances of this ship and even one stage of Daedalus engines in the middle, KSP is not prepared for things of this scale/magnitude, so is very painful to do edition, some times I prefer the notepad++ to do small changes. But I don't consider it impossible. 50 minutes ago, FreeThinker said: Damn, 78 years is too long! For mission success it is critical to take no longer than 50 years, which will ensure that a 20 years old cadet still lives (at 70 years old) when arriving. Electronics lifespane also becomes problematic after 50 years of operation. We have to push harder! The Logical steps would be 40 and 60, not 45 If you look close: "0.613, 0.95, 1.13, 1.875, 2.5, 3.75, 5.0, 7.5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 " All this values are +-50% bigger except the last one, with 45 still follow the rule of 50% bigger. But hey... I like big things specially engines! Edited December 13, 2019 by pmborg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the pattern is 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 1.875, 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, 60 mixed together Edited December 13, 2019 by FreeThinker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmborg Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Just now, FreeThinker said: No, the pattern is 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40 and 3.75, 7.5, 15, 30, 60 mixed together 40 (which is the official release value that you have) work well and also 45 tested. I am curious about an engine of 60, but scared about fuel consumption, but once this engine scale so nice I can only expect the best!

pmborg Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) After some experiences here is the result, direct support to from 45m to 60m: Go from 141Mdelta-V (45m) to 147.9Mdelta-V(60m)on Alfa1_8StellarShuttle-v5-9F with an extra fuel tank from x4 to x5 increase to 151.9Mdelta-V(60m). About the one that I am trying to build is about this structure (or a huge quad cone/ring that I don't have), basically is 4 x Alfa1_8StellarShuttle-v5-9F aiming to have 290Mdelta-V Edited December 13, 2019 by pmborg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmborg Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Another variation of Alfa1_8StellarShuttle-v5-9F with tanks and engine at 60: 159.8Mdelta-V(60m) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmborg Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) Without multiple sets/instances of this one: Alfa1.8StellarShuttle-v5-9F3 161.6Mdelta-V(60m) = 0.536c So for previous model Alfa1.8StellarShuttle-v5-9 = 0.416c Max. Speed With 141M total deltaV, I have done 125,000km/s for cruise. (Estimate: 78 years based on previous flights data to TRAPPIST1 - 18 years for Alpha Centauri (flight done)) For this one Alfa1.8StellarShuttle-v5-9F3 161.6Mdelta-V(60m) = 0.536c Max. Speed With 161M I estimate doing: 145,000km/s for cruise. (Estimate: 70 years based on previous flights data to TRAPPIST1 - 16.2 years for Alpha Centauri) @FreeThinker 3 posts almost in a shot to resume the stuff done today, I hope not too much information in a raw...

pmborg Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 (edited) It's not exactly a lamp light... Just another fanci one that only do 50MdeltaV, but a lot cheaper! Going to the new one at mega size: Max Speed: Between 0.76c and 0.78c (non-reusable ship) Dont explode in launchpad is a begging...

pmborg Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Hello @FreeThinker Using already KSPI 1.25.2.5, I am trying to tuning this new version, Alfa2StellarShuttleA: One of the problem is that I need to resize also the nuclear reactor to fuel this new engine size, and most certain the respective reactor fuel. The other problem is that the is ship right now is like a block don't do any maneuver except go in front line! I don't know if there is any problem with engine gimbal or if really need to push engine a little bit to bottom of the ship, I am studding the possibilities that don't cost to much weight, any idea?

pmborg Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Actually all problems solved: With some simple modifications the ship now is very maneuver like a whale in the ocean. and can takeoff from Kerbin also, with all main fuel tanks empty ofc.

When I replaced the tri-alpha for another conventional reactor all become normal again, with no electricity starvation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmborg Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 [1] With that problem solved @FreeThinker and with this problem solved on this thread, finally I solved all last problems. [2] At 20 of december I have done a donation by paypal, bigger than the cost of KSP itself because I think that your work should be recognized, I hope you have it already.

LittleBitMore Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 These spacecraft you're launching are insanely humongous. I commend you, @pmborg , for doing what I probably will never have the patience or willpower to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I commend you, @pmborg , for doing what I probably will never have the patience or willpower to do. Hello @LittleBitMore, I believe that you are referring to Alfa1_8StellarShuttle-v5-9, yes and I have even bigger ones, that work in stages but what I like on this one is that is 100% reusable and potentially can do 47% speed of light as max speed, but in practice do 41.6% in order to have power and fuel to break from that speed to arrive at the target star. This is what is needed to travel between stars. I think you are right "insanely humongous"! 1.405km long and 180m wide! It can be seen from space...
