[gag09]

Also here is a weapon that i am currently testing

[Turd]

The TCS Automated Kinetic Impactor.

(If you're interested in any of my junk send me a PM, uploading takes ages but I'll move it to the front of the list ahead of my astro-photography projects.)

I built this satellite as a means to carry and launch medium torpedoes so I could test my other craft. The launch stage was really just to mess around with jet/rocket hybrids in preparation to build a reuseable Laythe lander. It launches (BARELY) to a 71km orbit using asparagus staged turbo-jets and 3 LV-T45s in a VERY PRECISE staging order. It carries 1 medium projectile capable of dealing catastrophic damage to all but the most heavily armored ships. Once in orbit it has about 3400 M/S of delta-v and is capable of operating indefinitely, awaiting a target, maneuvering using the LV-N engine and RCS ports then firing the probe controlled SAS stabilized projectile with structural penetrator.

(Son Of Hicks Modular Cruiser D takes a hard hit from one of these satellites. Punched through the armor, killed all the fuel tanks, and knocked the capsule loose.)

The TCS Ion Powered Micro-Impactor

(Again, PM me if you want a download. I have a list of uploads a mile long but will bump it to the front.)

I built this as an "upgrade" to the Mosquito used by Macey Dean in his videos after I tried it out and couldn't get it to damage my ships. Its fully unmanned, has a crap ton of delta-v on the transfer and Ion stage. The impactors are an "upgrade" as well. They carry more mass, accelerate faster, and have penetrating structural elements. They still won't even scratch my two capital ships except for the occasional clipping through the armor and bumping a fuel tank though... That's what big missiles are for. But these may be of use to somebody else who likes smaller ships, or against lightly armored targets.

And again the jet engines are there because its cool and I need practice/ideas for the Laythe reuseable lander.

(Ramming run at about 60 M/S.If the panels had been retracted, it would have been fine. After this I turned it around and made another run at 80 M/S but it resulted in no damage. Those capital ships are just too tough for something this small moving less than 150 M/S)

TCS SRImp Mk. 18 (Light Corvette)

A big, heavy, resilient missile carrier. She's pretty slow but will really take a beating. I have it armed with two medium SAS torpedoes that will take out just about anything with a well placed shot. It can be rearmed in the VAB with weapons of your choice. I experimented with RCS and light anti-fighter torpedoes but found them to be pretty much useless since fighters aren't really a threat. If you want the anti-fighter torpedoes you can actually fit four stacks of four inside the "mouth" around the two large torpedoes, mount them on the sides of the ship, or remove the big ones and fit a crap-ton in there.

It has enough delta-v in the drive "ring" in orbit to make it to Jool. There you can shed the tanks and use the main engines to maneuver to Laythe.

(Experimental light torpedoes on the flank)

(Taking a beating from a Mosquito, no damage. Even the medium torpedoes have trouble causing catastrophic damage.)

[Turd]

TCS SRImp Mk. 14 (Heavy Corvette)

A bigger, Heavier, FASTER, MORE MANEUVERABLE combat vessel with four times the firepower. Carries 8 probe controlled "smart" SAS stabilized torpedoes. Can be made reloadable and replaced in the VAB with four super torpedoes, or one heavy cluster weapon on a Sr. docking port. The armor on this thing is tough, small torpedoes will have no effect and it will take multiple medium impactors to put it out of commission.

Is capable of reaching Jool and Laythe by using the fuel left in the drive "ring" and about 700 M/S from the main engines.

(Even after being hit by 8 medium torpedoes fired by another Mk. 14, the ship barely manages to stay alive, armed, and mobile.)

My first attempt at something military, the I.T. X68A

Capable of achieving orbit, deorbiting, planting it's rack of dumb bombs somewhere roughly in the vicinity of a target, escaping back to orbit and then gliding safely to landing at KSP.

With a little tactical refueling, may be able to reach further targets although there'd need to be RCS ports added. Monoprop already included.

ETA - the craft in the file has a different wheel arrangement. The first one I had was, erm, unreliable.

My rocket frigate It has around 6000 m/s DeltaV And is quite maneuverable for a ship of its size.

The UNSC The Heart of Midlothian is complete, but MAC guns and missiles will be added separately. The armor system consists of a dual-redundant spaced armor system all connected to a central spine with multiple points of reinforcement. It also has long range due to nuclear engines and high survivability due to the reinforced low profile bridge along with two docking ports and 4 dedicated retro thrusters and 4 dedicated prograde thrusters along with two MAC cannon ports for two MAC cannons. (Design has been tweaked a bit from these pictures. MAC cannon fires MAC rounds at 450 m/s)

I made an ONI Black Cat sub prowler. It is about 360 parts, sheathed in stealth coating, and not made for combat. It is around 60 tons and is only a prototype right now.
