New person wanting to show newest creation

[meyst]

I was introduced to this game about a month ago by my brothers and am having a blast! After I showed them what I built, image shack link below, they suggested I post it here on the forums so others can see it.

The ship is constructed out of four docked sections and includes a fifth forward payload section. The craft is propelled with 39 Ion engines that are powered by an array of 38 large and 8 regular size solar panels with a 35,000 power battery bank and carries 107,100 units of xenon fuel. A Rockomax 200-8 fuel tank surrounded by the spiral solar array provides 4 tons of refueling for small craft when operating from the ship.

The docked forward payload section consists of a superstructure that is also a long range communications satellite around which are attached 20 probes (2 reusable, 6 rovers[2 types], 4 aerial, 4 'normal' and 4 'impact' .)

I intend to test the probes on Kerbin. I was thinking the outcropping in the water that looks like the middle of a giant crater was a good target but other target areas would be most welcome for upcoming probe tests.

Also does anyone have tips on how to make my computer run more happily, as it has been slowing down from too much awesomeness.

Try to keep parts to a minimum, set graphics to lowest settings don't run other programs at the same time.

That is a pretty epic craft!!!

Following what "That Guy" said, turn the graphics settings down a bit. My dedicated gaming desktop is no slouch and it can even struggle at times in this game.
