My latest ships... ;)

[tswain]

Hi; I have been working on getting my ships as large as possible in order to move as much fuel as possible into orbit.
Here are some of my older ones and a new one. I have learned allot about the Kraken!

 

 

 

  You can follow my explosions here ;)

Yep; but that is my "Medium" lander the MGX.  Short for "Mini Goliath X."
That is a smaller version of my biggest lander which is about 4 million pounds;  the "Goliath 2"

whackjob is another forum member who's known for making giant, complex, cpu-melting crafts.  I believe it was meant as a jestful compliment.

Yes, It's a compliment.   I even quote @Whackjob in my sig. 

[Whackjob]

Can confirm.  Am occasionally holding person status.

[Lewie]

It's great to see you again, @Whackjob! Long time no see.

[tswain]

Not doing so well as of late.   Found some serious serious bugs.
Rebuilt my latest project 3 times.   Everything is fine till suddenly there is a transform error and one of my engines is rendered in outer space.

From then on if I keep flying I suddenly go into uncontrolled warp speed.   Thrust makes no difference and I have 0 control.

Well I managed to get all the way to Mun and ran out of fuel 4000 meters above the surface.
If I didn't burn so much fuel fixing my declination, I would have made it. However I was trying to make a pinpoint landing at my
"Pinnacle Base"

 

[tswain]

Close! At least I verified the staging. Was missing a couple of fuel lines and as such 2/3 of my landing fuel

The A15 Tanker...

 

Delivering some fuel to "Manley Station"

 

[tswain]

The  Triple A 3 Tanker...

2  SSS-3 Tankers linked outside Manley Station.

The Exedex another tanker.

[tswain]

More Fuel to Manley Station.

Probably latency in the DNS record if you never accessed my domain before.   Should resolve when the TTL runs out. The default is I think 24 hours.

It is good to hear from you again. It's been too long.

[tswain]

I started this on Oct 4 and have worked on it almost every day.  Some days hours on end.   This has been the most difficult thing I have gotten anywhere!
Even getting to Moho was not this difficult.   I think I had  more snaps.. http://multiversesocial.com/kerbals/tower/

 

 

 

Damn! This is "Pinnacle Base"  I wanted this at the top. Missed the target by a few hundred meters and I have less than 10 seconds of fuel left

The Great Tower of Mun! Damn! supposed to be at the top of the peak. And I lost an adapter :(.
Will try again!  This is the tightest I have ever been on fuel and not died.
I learned a PILE of new tricks and Kraken killing techniques.
2 months of work and fail after fail
