The 0.16 STOCK ship review thread

[ChronicSilence]

Hello,

So I was looking at the 'Stock Repository' thread, and realized that 1) it hasn\'t been updated in a long time, and 2) none of the ships in there are compatible with the new version. So I was thinking, wouldn\'t it be nice to have a new one?

I\'d like to add a new feature to the new one, 'reviews', where I test out your stock craft and, if it\'s good, do a video of it. We could then have a 'Stock Hall of Fame', a section of the repository for very successful ships (all with video reviews).

I\'ve built a number of good ships in my time here, some of my credentials are:

- Aurora Munar Fuel Tanker [0.14.3]

- B-52 Kerbalfortress [0.15]

- B-2 Spirit of Kerbin [0.16]

And I have a computer capable of handling almost any ship you want reviewed. So, why don\'t we start with some people submitting good 0.16 ships, let me know if you think it\'s worthy of a video review, and if we get enough interest hopefully a mod will sticky it for us!

Well I suppose you could start off with the G9 Eclipse I made and posted not long ago.

It pales in comparsion to that monster B-2 of yours but its very nice I think.

I\'m working out a ship series, though with the fuel consumption bug, I\'m not able to really tell which will be most efficient post-bug. I\'d suggest, just as your initial post did, making sure that every craft is marked with a version.

Personally, I always rate my own craft in terms of fuel carried to a standard 125km circular 0 inclination orbit by a 1m MechJeb module (so the flight profile is as consistent as possible) as well as the launch mass -> orbital mass ratio at that standard orbit. More advanced ratings would include the same factors being evaluated after landing at a standard location on the Mun, also by MechJeb. Remove MechJeb, and it\'s stock.

Here is an upgraded model of mine which is in the stock sticky.
