KIDI- Kerbal Interplanetary Defence Initiative

[Spartwo]

Oh, and BTW, I have recently resumed military construction, a Destroyer (~60mT) and a Frigate (~100mT):

They have their own technological improvements, which by the way owe a lot to the NavComm thread, which I absolutely loved. Thanks guys for those lessons in KSP naval warfare!

Rune. Has been ballistic testin'

That one looks really cool.

Introducing... The 258 ton Monster that I originally meant to be a frigate! the Shipwreck! Can someone classify this? I really can't find the classification for this tonnage.

I decided to finally create a practical multi-use space-ship... then I realized that I couldn't design an slv to lift a 258 ton craft... especially since the slv will need to be rather sturdy to survive the ascent and orbital insertion and not kill the kerbal on board. I will have a rather hard time getting it legitimately into space, but the 360 part count is, to me, an accomplishment. It even has room for 8 missiles or drop pods in the internal hangar. Hey, this thing looks more like a weird monolith, but It should get the job done. In fact, this has a few elements from my super dreadnought and infinity class carrier. A flat top extension is under development to extend the carrying capacity and to triple as a shield and to carry extra fuel.

Introducing, the Shipwreck 1. It has a rather horrible delta V and acceleration, but I can't actually confirm this myself.

I'm taping another episode from today till probably Wednesday and want your help with some of your cool designs. Here is a link to the page explaining whats to come. If you don't have a design for the featured topic but have one that you would like in a future show send that one too.

You can get it at my skunkworks thread, and the launcher is very, very stable and easy. So feel free to give it a spin! (Note the first kerbal gets assigned to a seat you can't get out of unless you undock the command pod).

[briansun1]

mine

the MML (mobile missile launcher) VV-1x

1-4 fires the missile groups

10 toggles larders and solar panes.

to fire first brake. then press g then ether space to fire all or 1-4

range is 14.7 km in"smart mode"( ie with sas on)

daeCorp finally unveils a second phase of warships to defend the Laythe front:

SFP33 Firewing: Interceptor intended for long-range trans-orbital maneuvres. Shown here in flight test under simulated low gravity.

First of the Raptor-Class, DCSV Raptor: Trans-orbital corvette. Equipped with middling armament and low armour in exchange for long range and high speed.

The lightest cruiser in the new line, DCSV Pendragon: She's heavily armed with sixteen heavy torpedoes, but built with maneuverability to rival much smaller ships.

Just... wow These are probably the nicest looking warships I've seen on KSP!

I still need to try out the kerbpaint though.

I'm waiting for 0.22 to update my ships but I have got a heavy frigate to upload.

[Comrade Jenkens]

Well, this was going to be the Fr-21 Frigate but my computer is really struggling with the part count. It doesn't have weapons, a ammo magazine and enough struts while the fuel flow is messed up as well. If anyone with a better PC want to finish it go ahead.

As you can see its based on the Forward Unto Dawn

Its nice but not practical (haven't download it but just judging by the pics). If you can build this (and your still determined to make a Paris Class frigate aka the forward unto dawn) then you can make a scaled down version of it.

Just think smaller. But if your computers really that bad (if you made this it can't be that terrible) then make a smaller version and get someone to test it

[zekes]

dude thats awesome! not practical, but awesome. like my superdreadnaught.

[Comrade Jenkens]

I prefer to make my ships a bit like the pillar of autumn as its a practical and easy shape while and doesn't require too many parts. My PC can do around 450 parts at 15-20 fps.

The new reaction wheel system is very useful for both asymmetrical ships and vtols.

I've heard rumors of a 30% performance increase in 0.22 so hopefully I can do bigger ships then.

The Forward Unto Dawn was a Charon-class Frigate.

Oh right, thanks

Has anyone else thought that daemonCaptrix's ships look like Star Citizen's Vanduul ships? what with the wings and all.

Actually, they are clearly Eldar, if you are just the "right" kind of geek . I didn't comment at the time, but boy doesn't kerb paint let you do cool stuff.

Rune. But sadly, I run too many mods already. Crashes. And stuff.

[Jake Shifter]

Can i get this craft? Ive been looking for something like this forever.

[BrightBritches]

Comrade Jenkens, your craft inspired me to finally get back on KSP after about a month. I'll have something that (I think) is pretty awesome up here shortly, so thank you

Cheers I'm having trouble making large ships atm as my PC isn't working properly. I'm suspecting I may have some kind of virus.

[daemonCaptrix]

I don't see the resemblance. O_o

They're really inspired by birds and dragons, and the split hull is inspired by Italian hot rod cars.

heeeey. i got a challlenge. Im gonna try to make a ratte 1000. you guys want to try?

[briansun1]

... what that is I don't even

Why does a tank need dual barrels? xD

[War Eagle 1]

Why does a tank need dual barrels? xD

The Ratte was a Nazi tank tank that was designed to be extremely heavy.

considering the nazis also introduced the first jet and long range missiles (for the time, example being the V2), why not make a tank with two guns.

FWI this project was canceled before it was built

[zekes]

lol done
