"Battlecruiser operational" challenge

[zapy97]

this is a challenge that requires the bravery, engineering of the best kerbal military engineers, it also requires that no mods are present. This challenge is to make a starcraft battle cruiser capable of going to jool and back with fire power attached yes that is right we need weapons. this challenge came in light of the dalek invasion of the Zaptonian research vessel orbiting jool. so points as follows

Requirements: 100pts

1. looks like a battle cruiser 30pts

2. Fire power (yamato cannon not included) 30pts

3. can make it to Duna and back (can be refueled at jool) 30pts

4. can carry other ships with it 10pts

5. screen shots for on launch pad/runway, in kerbin orbit, every time it gets refueled, at jool, return to kerbin and land fall (can be a few kerbals in a large debris field it doesn't have to survive)

6. a craft file because my engineers hate rebuilding things off of pictures.

7. no mods

bonus: 100pts

1. Yamato cannon (must be big!) 50pts

2. video 20pts

3. no refuels 30pts

ranking: to qualify must complete all requirements

Made the "head" part, was gonna replace 2 small objects and got massive lag inside of the VAB, can't reload the ship without this massive lag starting and thus my attempt is over. I hate bugs......

1. This is taking forever to finish. About 1/2 way there!

2. Going to have to use Orbital Construction or Hyper-edit. There is no way I can get this beast off the ground without some modded engines.

[zapy97]

my attempt is almost done but way smaller it doesn't have to be massive

[23278]

I Made A Small One. It Just Didn't Seem Right....Lol.

[A Fat Pokemon]

it doesn't have to be massive

But that takes all the fun out of it

[zapy97]

here is my progress so far it isn't massive but it is big compared to my usual stuff I have a long way to go yet

[23278]

My Parts Count Will Probably Around 1000 When I Finish. It's Pretty Solid, So I'm Going Ti Try To Launch It....If My Computer Will Allow It!

The ship itself is about 95% complete. I just need to brace the center beam a bit better. I think I'm getting a bit too much wobble in that area on launch and I lose control when I try to gravity turn. I'm at 1412 parts and just under 600 tons. There are some modded hybrid ION engines on there right now cause they fit perfect. I'll remove them for the challenge.
