HvP Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 (edited) The crew of the U.S.S. Palomino was lost after discovering the U.S.S. Cygnus in the vicinity of a black hole. This KSP recreation features all stock parts and its statistics are as follows: 174 parts; 40 tons; 9.3m x 8.3m x 8.1m; Crew of 2; LV-909 engines x 3; LF=1620 + Ox=1980 units; Reaction Control System, RTG and solar electrical generation Edited September 19, 2016 by HvP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My OCD would require I make V.I.N.C.E.N.T. to scale so... maybe I could throw a couple of air intakes one on top of the other and pretend he's retracted into his shell, haha. With the crash damage mod maybe I could dent one up to look like B.O.B. My first idea was to try the Cygnus, but I chickened out. I'm not sure a passable version can be made in stock, but it would surely require the hangar extender mod and a LOT of girders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylith Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I love the movie...and your replica. I like the details. Fantastic job Now someone has to build the Cygnus, the greatest ship that ever explored space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rocket Scientist Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Nice replica!

Here's what I'm talking about: Struts between I-beams looked better to me than girders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic job Now someone has to build the Cygnus, the greatest ship that ever explored space I appreciate that. The Cygnus is IMO one of the most gorgeous space ship models ever built for film. I'm not sure I could even come close to doing it justice, but now I think I might give it a try once a few mods are updated for 1.2. 1 hour ago, Mad Rocket Scientist said: Nice replica!

I haven't used LLL before but combined with Tweakscale, Ubio Welding, and Hangar Extender there's a good chance of getting a good replica of the Cygnus after all. There's so much detail in the original that I would have to devote considerable time to it though. Perhaps after the 1.2 release settles down. Of course, if you want to give it a go I'd love to see how creative you can get with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
