You know..

I can't believe I made a transport vessel and didnt even think to use that for the Sulaco pieces... jeeez..

make a bigger cargo bay? I can make a custom bay for the Gojira designed specifically for Sulaco and other ship parts, essentially the WT-51 will be turned into a custom space station transport vessel.

I'll make the bay wider and have an opening canopy instead of the side.

It's alright. As a saying goes, "foresight is 20:20; hindsight is 50/50."

I was actually thinking personally just scaling up the WT-51. Maybe THAT one, WT-54 or something, could be the Gojira.

Or, keeping on the theme, maybe another of the Godzilla monsters? ;P

But a scaled-up bay would ALSO work. However, I can already see the side door being an issue.

The bigger one could possibly have the FLOOR drop out. I'm not positive how that would work, but imagine it.

Imagine it.

WHY AREN'T YOU IMAGINING IT?!

xD

I took one look at that biodome ship.

This is gonna be awesome

Also, I tried the MK1 ship, it was... not bad. But the main engine seems... pointless. It only has 150 thrust with same effeciancy as VTOLS, I might as well use the VTOLS because the main egine is too slow for me

I wonder if there is a mod of this at Orbiter Hangar...

Holy crap.

Excuse me, but how do you intend on assembling the pieces one they are in orbit? Personally I have trouble getting the wt51 into a precise orbit, so rendezvousing would be even harder :S also how will you assemble the individual parts? Will it be under their own power?

[Logan.Darklighter]

Gojira is a heavy lifter, but it's not what you'd call a precision orbiter. Just getting Sulaco parts into orbit is good enough for the WT-51. Once up there, a tug with more precision motive power can put the pieces into docking maneuvers. That's how I'd plan it.

As Logan puts it, that's how I would attempt to do it as well.

The WT-51 is definitely a heavy lifter, not really designed to travel too far out of Kerbin's low orbit range, though it could possibly do it with assistance, I'm sure.

The tug itself would probably need a WT-51 all its own, considering the size of the parts that are gonna go up. xD

[Chimer4]

I suppose using the gojira simply to get stuff into orbit would work, and then a smaller orbital tug to get stuff into position. It would certainly McKee it interesting to assemble your starship in orbit. Although knowing me the final ship would probably end up like a partially solved Rubik cube xD

XD Haha, I'm no better, honestly. I love this game, yet can't launch my own designs - even when I think I've got them assembled properly - into orbit. xP

[Chimer4]

Well obviously you aren't using enough SRBs

I'm usually fine launching designs, and I can dock smaller parts, like spice station parts just fine. At the moment I am designing a rotating habitat ring for my space station.

Although I can imagine the maneuvering something that is so big it requires the gojira to get out into orbit would require some serious torque or RCS power, maybe those massive RCS blocks have fondly found a use

Saaaay...

*Wanders off to VAB to check on the possibility of making a tug largely consisting of RCS tanks and the "Gojira" RCS blocks*

Somebody go check on Logan, before he blows up the VAB...

[Andrezado]

NO! Marine Dropship is losing

[Dweller_Benthos]

To give you an idea, the biggest ship in KSP right now is the venture star, which is 250m, and it has serious trouble staying together, so basically the challenge is delivering all the parts to orbit and then constructing the mammoth vessel.

Someone had the Death Star in KSP. I tried it, but it never showed up in the parts list, I guess it's hidden under the decals tab, didn't know that at the time. The screenshots showed the thing on the launchpad and it covered the entire KSP complex. The files are here

http://www.kspyard.com/mods/packages/Death+Star/#.UXqwXLWG285

the forum thread is gone, but another thread mentioning it is here

http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/showthread.php/10023-Build-the-Death-Star

Don't know how that compares to anything else, just tossing it out there.

As for the Sulaco, I would imagine a ship like that would be built in space, it's not meant to be launched or landed. Getting it to work in KSP would be problematic, even launching pieces and assembling them would be tough.

[Chimer4]

*snip* even launching pieces and assembling them would be tough.

However......not with the RCS GOJIRA!

Features

• RCS!!!
  
• 1440 Individual RCS ports to help move those weighty payloads
  
• Arms to wrap around payload to increase stability (feature not yet tested)
  
• Unmanned in case of a 'mishap'
  
• 4 3.75m tanks of RCS to keep you going for a few minutes
  
• Looks funny when the ASAS is turned on

[techno65535]

I see some B9 parts in there. And I think 'a few minutes' may be wishful thinking with that many RCS blocks.

Love how you nested the blocks in the back btw.

(Neo) Whoa... (/Neo)

[Chimer4]

it goes through its 4000 RCS fuel at about 20/s

[Ohm Machre]

So that RCS is literally gone in a few minutes, or 3 minutes, 20 seconds. XD

Nuuuuts.

[Chimer4]

haha yeah, and there are b9 parts in there, it has the B9 drone cockpit and the front adapter. It also has the RCS tanks from KW rocketry.

Its not actually very good at moving things accurately, contrary to how it may look

[Simplicity]

Would you guys be bummed if I took the mechjeb requirement off the Eagle and Pegasus?

What about instead of getting rid of or keeping mechjeb you do both, ie: have 2 versions, a mech one and a non-mech one

Personally I would prefer the mech one

[ghost010]

Devo, why dont we extend the build in space mod,or make somethign alike?

the one up in KSP would let you build in space(sorta) but a massif ship would cause to manny resources..it also has a part limit.

if we would just extend that,than all modders with big shps could use that?

i got my ship to orbit with hyper edit,though mine isnt a drop ship.

I voiced this earlier, actually.

Really, the main differences between a MechJeb and non-MJ one is that the MechJeb one cannot be refueled, and that what the MechJeb one has - the GUI to start and stop engines - can be done via action groups anyhow.

Mother of god... lol man that must have taken a while..

thats what I need to power this, I built a prototype to practice dropping a ship and then a rover from the dropship, video just shows new cargo bay tho, the WT-52.. now if this gigantic beats doesnt earn the name Gojira, I dont know what does. As you can see, I have a WT-51 nose fitted to the front..

Yes, gooseneck done for Serenity fans

Good Goddesses! That thing is a behemoth! I want one!

[Chimer4]

Ooooh, does this mean that you have the serenity in the works? I loved that series, just a shame they cancelled it after its first season

So is that cargo bay going to be representative of the one that will be on the sulaco, or is it just a prototype as you said?

YOW!!!!

Mother of God indeed!

I like the idea as proof of concept but I don't much like the SHAPE of the vessel. At least on the outside. That bay is sweet though.

I have little doubt though that you'll be refining that and making it more interesting looking. On that note, I have another suggestion -

Keeping with the Kaiju theme - what you have there is not Gojira, but...

GAMERA!!!

He even flies! With ROCKETS!

So yeah -

Giant Rocket Powered Flying Turtles FOR THE WIN!!!
