BIG Explosion

[venku122]

Im designing a new ship and the first proof of concept flight didnt go so well

Ok, so you:

>NOT include S.A.S. modules/stablizing fins on your ship

>(You know it can and WILL crash...)

>Create a short video/thread on a prototype ship failure that would take a few seconds to fix

>Get pretty darn useless attention?

As I said im designing a new project. This is just a funny incident that occured during the process. I uploaded the video to show people on IRC and posted it here in case anyone would like to see a cool explosion.

[Tim_Barrett]

What design is it if it was not designed to eliminate all sources of stablization?

[venku122]

Im working out the kinks(random explosion disorder) but the current version has 9 rcs modules, 9 command pods and 5 tuned sas. its super stable till it explodes

[Tim_Barrett]

You do know how heavy those fuel tanks are, right? Why not use radially-placed secondary liquid fuel engines for more power?

[venku122]

because thats not the point, this is (sorta)

[Tim_Barrett]

I see the exact same design with wings and payloads asking to die.

Way to threadshit and use MLP image macros while criticizing post quality, Tim.

I thought it was pretty funny. At least you got that thing to stand on its own without exploding, right?

[venku122]

Its almost done, I've managed to get all 8 spaceplanes deployed without exploding! but their engines dont ignite

Y'know, even if that thing doesn't fly, that's still an awesome looking screenshot. I approve!

It flies pretty well. I've had some experience with large spaceplanes before. Theres plenty of pics of it flying and a video of it deploying the small ships
