Oh look! It's a Christmas Tree, there's even some stars on the top.

Happy Holidays everyone!

You had one job Jeb, point retrograde.

Landed on Minmus today in my 0.90 Career!

Thunderbirds are Go!

I created a version of TB-1 from the classic Gerry Anderson series. Looks great in flight, but there were some problems.

The arrangement of the rear engines and fins had me stumped for a long time in regards to landing gear. She could launch and land on her tail just fine. But TB-1 in the series is supposed to be able to fly and land horizontally as well, in addition to being a VTOL.

Well with a little help from Infernal Robotics, I figured out a way to telescope the gear down far enough to work properly!

Next was figuring out a way to get Kerbals from the ship down to the ground and back up again. The telescoping landing gear became another problem to overcome, since no ladders would reach far enough!

But either I'm a genius or I was channeling the ghost of Gerry Anderson. Because I came up with a solution to the ingress/egress problem that's practical, works, and yet has just the right amount of "Rube Goldberg" that you'd expect from Thunderbirds. I'm so proud!

The album below shows the methods I used. Also shows a vertical take-off.

TB-1 is a proper SSTO and with the right ascent profile can reach orbit with nearly half a tank of fuel remaining.

The only thing she can't do yet is horizontal VTOL. But I'm working on it!

Installed EVE and Better Atmospheres today (and have other visual mods like Distant Object Enhancer and PlanetShine). I almost wish this game was my screensaver...

[RobotsAndSpaceships]

I really liked this satellite for some reason.

That is precisely what I did. I used [imgur] tags. That is the result. I've NEVER been able to get it to work right.

Which is your imgur link wrapped in url tags.

What you should have there is this:

One of my best "Like a boss" moments in KSP:

Landing on Duna with a rover, while filming to youtube.

The rover just flipped many times, and magicaly standed up there, then the skycrane just fell a few meters in front of me

Cheers!

Some pictures of my new craft - Delta-IV with Orion:

Sorry about the clutter but I really like how you can spot Minmus in this screenshot.

the "Big Boomer" of the Zokesian fleet, the Drekevak XXX is big, heavy, complex, expensive, but it can go anywhere and take out an armada singlehandedly.

[Red Iron Crown]

1400 parts. 1400.

1400 parts. 1400.

OVER 1400. But she's a thing of beauty. Look at those Ion engines.

She has 140,000L of Xenon gas - enough to float a city XD

But she can go anywhere in the Kerbin system, from anywhere.

'Callidus' class Battleship, 170 tons of steel, fuel, engines and missiles that can gut any ship it comes across. This ship's missiles can tear armour off with ease. Not only that, but it's under 450 parts! (It's the one on the right BTW)

Your move Zekes.

Can I join in?

Probably good for multi-role and has re-loadable weapons for carrier ops.

[bdito]

Just wondering if any of these motherships can actually launch into orbit or do you just hyperedit them up there.

Yes, we have launchers big enough. It's just easier to hyperedit that way.

What was that about carriers?

Despite their size the actual mass of them seems fairly reasonable, easily launchable with stock parts (though the lag must be horrific).

Oh yeah.... i could *technically* launch two Drek XXXs on one Cira VI - but that would be 1435 + 1435 + 850 = 3270 parts. NOT. DOING. THAT.

You mean you cant schedule a couple weeks on a university supercomputer?
