Sapphire Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ascension station? Welp, that's me. I better dig up that big list with all the links... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 KOSMOS Space Station parts, for the solar panels:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/kosmos-tks-spacecraft/B9 Aerospace, for generally awesome-looking parts:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-20-2-b9-aerospace-pack-r3-1/KW Rocketry for various parts:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-18-1-kw-rocketry-overhauled/Spherical Fuel Tanks for, well, the fuel tanks. Second and third links are for the textures I use and Kethane fuel tanks:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-20-0-spherical-fuel-tank/http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-20-0-spherical-fuel-tanks-texture-pack-smooth-textures/http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/0-20-0-spherical-kethane-tanks-v1-0/Kethane, obviously. The whole reason this station exists:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/23979-Kethane-Pack-0-7-3-Geodesic-grid-overlay-%28hex-map%29-and-other-scanning-improvements%21Large Structural/Station Components for the big grey hydroponics module:http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/34664-Large-Structural-Station-Components-20-Compatible-Release-ThreadThere's definitely more, but those are the ones that pop to the top of my head. If you see any parts that catch your eye but I haven't linked, just point them out,and I'll dig up a link for you.And to stay relevant to the thread, here's an Ascension Mk II core module in high Kerbin orbit. Improvements are that three separate components are now one, shortening the building phase and less docking. A few new parts, like those fancy corridors and the fancy holographic fuel gauges. It may look really big but surprisingly it's only 35 tons, so getting it into orbit is totally possible. Not sure about sending it all the way to Jool, though. That's a heck of a lot of NERVAs.

SciMan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Jebs got a big stickOoh, that'll come in handy. You just earned yourself another download!Great for when you want something in SPH to be symmetrical two ways at the same time (A pair of VTOL engines fore and an identical pair aft of the CoM, for instance) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piloter Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 My wife gives me challenges. (I may post them and my responses later). This time it was 'build something to rescue all those Kerbals you landed in the ocean." The boat parts pack was kind of crap, I HATE using other people's ships and there weren't many parts to build something bigger than a runabout but smaller than a carrier. So I got thinking...pWings raft, some jet engines, some fins at the CoM, extendable ladders and control seats. I started off with rover wheels but evolved to landing gear, kept shrinking the wings, ran into hydroplaning via the rover wheels and decided that was awesome, threw down damned robotics, and now I have a hydrofoil that'll do a stable 107 m/sec with SAS on.I'm still fine-tuning it, but I can increase the 'ride height' considerably (doesn't make a difference) and extend the nose for high-speed stabilization via a longer finbase.Somebody else mentioned hydrofoils, but their thread suggested they got it to ~85m/sec before hitting a trim tab and having it violently disassemble...I think I beat that record.Launching procedure is simple. Lift all the foils up (action key), throttle up and run it off the KSC runway at ~100 m/sec max. It'll hop down. Hit the brakes and coax it into the water at ~5 m/sec, head carefully out to sea for a few meters, drop the foils, lift the gear, and throttle UP. If there's interest I'll put in the craft exchange.Mods used:Boat parts: Sea rudders (not actually in the water any more...) & strutspWings: Stubbly craft bodyTruss Pack: Main bracing tower--I think it's from there. Could be stock.damnedrobotics: Hydrofoil movement.KWAerospace & Novapunch: Possibly the canards.Mechjeb: My play style is iterative design and automated testing, and I don't send Kerbals out unless I'm sure they'll land safely or I can build something to get them back safely.CBBP Sky Penetration Company: Moderate Hadron Collider (~300-torque SAS module). A little cheaty but it's the only thing that prevents me from CONSTANTLY having to play with yaw past 40 m/sec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barklight Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 -snip-And to stay relevant to the thread, here's an Ascension Mk II core module in high Kerbin orbit.

Tw1 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) The boat parts pack was kind of crap, I HATE using other people's ships and there weren't many parts to build something bigger than a runabout but smaller than a carrier-snip-I too, found the boats back not that useful for constructing boats of my own. But this part:http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ksf-boat-propeller/Is very useful. It will be an important part of my 0.21 Oceans of Eve mission.Minmus, the evening 'star'Boat prototype. Was meant to have a cupola glass bottom, but I couldn't get it to stop being destroyed by the water. How does it manage to stay intact in space?EVA Fun.

dave4002000 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 After realizing that my computer is going to explode if i put any more vehicles at my Duna base, i decided that i'm going to take the stock two-stage lander and put one on every planet/moon that i haven't been to yet. Here's the first one sitting on Eeloo. I figured i'd start at the furthest one first. It's kind of cool how small Kerbol looks from way out there.

Gobbles Gusto Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) The "Kerhemoth Crane" by RedKosmos at the bottom of page 267 is probably the best thing I've seen in the entire game as of yet, and I've been blown away before by what people have come up with.

Sapphire Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Before sending up one of the last modules, I thought I'd test it first, and got comical results that remind me of synchronized swimming, but with escape pods in space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
