Supersonic Transition:

Engine Cutoff:

Insertion Burn:

On Kerbin Orbit:

(After this the game crashed because my low-end computer)

I'm impressed! I've never been able to get such a large plane into orbit. One of my goals is to get the 3 person plane cockpit onto a working SSTO ship.

It can achieve escape velocity too.

Well, I guess to be fair, this guy did post a link to his ship on my thread, so in the name of connectitude.... http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/forum/showthread.php/20223-0-16-Stock-Orca-IV-SSTO-%28a-T1G-design%29

This is my design of a 3 man ssto...

What does that have to do with this thread?

He only posted because your names severely conflicted with his.

[that1guy]

yes, but I was on the name Orca when I achieved success, if I had made a breakthrough about a week earlier, the ship would have been named the Humpback (insert roman numeral). it is a massive coincidence, and i do not appreciate him posting his design on my thread, so I gave him a toke of his own medicine. Petty; yes. Immature;yes. Justified; extremely.

@up: still ur plane doesn't look (no offence, just mentioning) that good =)

[that1guy]

... ehhhhh.... my point is this, at times there will be name overlap in KSP. I am not sure if this is because there are so many people designing ships and posting them or if there is a common logic to all the names given to ships that get posted. Now we could argue about who came up with the name first, who's ship is better; but that idea tires me. I honestly don't care about name overlap, what I do care about is someone posting a link to their ship in a post where I am trying to promote my ship. It would be like having a press conference to promote the Xbox, when Sony comes in and starts pitching for the PS3. While both products achieve the end result of entertainment, there is no possible way that the products are similar enough to justify Sony crashing an Xbox event. To put this in internet terms, if you pee in my pool and run, I will pee in yours.

Or just be the bigger person and let it go. Instead of cluttering up someone's thread. You also could PM the guy and ask that he remove his link from your thread. Be polite and you may be amazed at what happens.

[sal_vager]

Are you guys still moaning about this?

It is not important, really, you both now have free publicity on each others threads, this would be a good thing except you are making yourselves look bad with your posts.

Relax guys

are those aerospikes? yuck

Anyhow, this plane will do superb when other planets are implemented, as you can do easier landings. Would be even better if it could land on a moon.

I have only one thing to say about the other guy preoccupation. Double rainbow all over the sky, it's so intense.

[Taquarinha]

Take it easy man, there is no one paying for our job, it's only for fun, i did the post because the coincidence, it's not for promote my job.
