The Whole Kercake Series!

[Dogenutt]

The Kercake Series

The name Kercake was a placerholder name, but the engineers were too lazy to change the name so it stuck around,

The Kercake series was designed to get kerbals on the Mun and to a lesser degree Minmus.

Kercake I

The first rocket in the Kercake series, Consisting of six boosters, and a main engine being the RE-15 Skipper engine being powered the other six boosters. This rocket also shares the same booster design for the Kerbal X. This rocket is capable of landing on the mun and returning to kerbin all in one piece!

 

Kercake II

Kercake II the second in the series is a small stepup from Kercake I, The previous Six stage booster system has been replaced by the RE-M3 Mainsail engine. Other than that, The lander now has solar panels and a lighting but little did the engineers know that the Illuminator Mk2 was a horrible idea for for spotting the ground... So this lead to a little accident to the lander losing a landing leg.

 

Kercake III

The flagship of the whole series! This craft was capable of not only landing on the mun but it can land anywhere with the newly designed tri-engine stage, Although it was used more for slowing down the lander from impending doom. Also a fun fact this craft was used as a rescue vessel for recovering kerbals from the mun!

 

Kercake IV

Kercake IV aka the Apollo ripoff, This craft is a failure... Since it is unable take off, land on the mun, return to kerbin, and overall too ambitious for the tech available at that time. And the good news is that no one was injured during testing of this craft so that is something to be happy about at the very least and a few jokes were thought up. (You make a joke here!)

 

Kercake V

Kercake V aka The next biggest failure in kerbal history, I don't mean it blew up into a pretty display of burning fuel and oxidizer although that did happen... On the mun! and guess Jeb the only pilot on the newly designed craft lived through the whole event! By ejecting out of the crewpod at 119 meters per second and bouncing off the ground! Literally! Now that Jeb managed to survive the crash he was stranded on the mun without a ship so what happened because of the original theory that pilots cannot transfer data a probe was placed on top of the crewpod in all of the Kercake rockets *Not including the fourth one* so using the best of what was available, Engineers resorted to the Kercake III since it was capable of landing anywhere on the mun, So forth the mission to save Jeb began! and it took a week to get him back on kerbin, He did he survive for a week on the mun without a ship? No one knows! And that concludes the dangerous disaster of Kercake V.

 

Munbase Alpha

Although it is not part of the Kercake series, this one was the first base to exist on the mun. Now why is this one in here? Because our engineers wanted more things to brag about. (The real reason why, it is part of the munar operations!)  

Munbase Alpha looked horrible and looked very unstable not to mention that it cannot go to the mun and back... But that was intentional since our scientists wanted to see the effects of long term living on the mun, With that said they can be arriving back on kerbin in 25 years via an another spacecraft.

 

So that is it for this nice little collection, it may not be the largest rockets you ever seen nor the most prettiest rockets, but they can get up there and do the job! Well at least most of them.

 

So if you think you can deal with the horrible control over these rockets or you think you can make the failed ones work then here the download (Its the red letters right below this)

DROPBOX LINK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/lw0zr3ruuu3js0i/Kercake Crafts.zip?dl=0  Also you need Mechjeb!!!!!

Also Disclaimer do not attempt recreate any of these events and there may be some unforeseen issues that I may not have pointed out so don't go insane over a winglet exploding!

I hope you enjoy the marvels of Doge Engineering!

Also instructions on how to get these majestic rockets into your agency goto where KSP is installed extract the space craft in the zip *Kercake ships* extract the ships into your ships/VAB folder it is important that the ships will go into the VAB otherwise the kraken might invade your game and ruin the day. DO NOT TAKE THESE WORDS LIGHTLY!

(if you think I missed anything that is important or if the images are lower res than a youtube video at the lowest settings please tell and I will umm idk(Put it into text!))

Please refrain from using size 36 letters and red bolding in future posts, as I like my eyes and want to keep using them in the future. Otherwise, you're fine.

I reduced the size of the letters to 28 also got rid of one red heading, Hopefully this is not painful to look at now

Great rockets! I remember my first Mun lander... WAAAAAAAY overbuilt. Just a tip here, you are overbuilding quite a bit, but if you are comfortable using huge rockets like that, then that's perfectly fine.

But I will echo @The Optimist and say that you really don't need to type in size 36. Also directed at @The Optimist Try snipping big quotes in the future (although I realize this one was to make a big point).

Great job!

I did around 30 seconds after I posted. Thanks for the reminder though.

Please refrain from jumping on newbies and telling them how to post. The report button is there if you feel there is a problem. It avoids the whole public-shaming thing that back-seat moderation often results in.

Actually, where is the report button on the new forum layout?

I like these, they really remind me of my first rockets! Keep up the building man, its get more fun the better you get at it.
