Need help finding Macey Dean ships.

[daniel l.]

I have been highly interested in refurbishing the old crafts used by Macey Dean long ago, As in what i want to do is find the old craft file for the Harbinger Carrier and modify it to work in 1.1 however it appears that Macey before he disappeared for the second time wiped his craft repository and replaced all the old beauties with the Laniakea which i am not interested in. If anyone has the Harbinger Carrier on their drive can they send it to me please?

Suestra command cruiser and the Grendel class were never up for download but they're easy to replicate. Some are already refurbished and others like the aforementioned harbinger are pretty much lost causes. Vanguard is fine as it is really. Suestra cruiser itself could do with a change.

No Thor class, you should try to replicate that.

By the way, I just looked at the Vulture and it still lives!

Besides the badly misshapen hull, incorrect fuel storage, and broken fuel flow:/

Nothin' a good bit of work wont fix  I can fix the fuel storage improve the hull, Fix the flow and improve it's Delta/V while taking no further space

[daniel l.]

Already fixed the fuel flow and storage and am now upgrading it to modern standards

Heres the link! https://www.dropbox.com/s/7ibhfm9mej3y6am/SWC Vulture MkIII-A.craft?dl=0 

Replaced the old LFO tanks with jet fuel tanks,

Replaced the old Hitchhiker storage containers with stout fuel tanks,

Added 2 Mk2 crew containers to substitute for the crewcans.

Added armor to the engines.

Enjoy! And i hope somebody will perhaps use this reborn iteration of the Harbinger for a youtube series

Wouldn't the shift to Porkjet wings have changed it a little bit?

Good thing somebody is stepping up to maintain his craft, I would say Macey's series is one of the biggest reasons I bought KSP in the first place. I sure hope he starts making videos on a regular basis again.

I want to create a memorial thread for him at least...

I was the Macey Dreams Hype Train Driver back then... sadly I had to hang up the job when he disappeared again.

Seems like those engines will overheat quickly. Hull's still mangled and there's no modern ASAS. This is why it's a lost cause, you can leave it to still be the vulture but it's not going to work properly or you can fix the problems but it's barely the same ship anymore.

After looking at those pictures I realize just how far KSP building techniques have comes since the original was made. This is obviously a modern reproduction, but it was built using Macey's design and techniques, many of which are nearly obsolete. Today Macey could have used cargo bays for the hangar, Vectors for the main engines (since it's such an OP engine), and many of the new parts to aesthetically improve the entire thing.

Granted one thing that's obsolete but yet beyond amazing is his weaponry. Making things that were stable, reliable and effective. Although the aerodynamics and... Well the entire game ran differently. 

Still I admire his handiwork.

Looking at your take on the Vulture design it reminds of me of the Enterprise-A, After all the original Spirit of Kerbin was a proud flagship and it would make sense for the rescued crew of the original ship to have been given command of a newer model ship of the same name.

Its close enough.
