Should be posted in Add on Development mate

for the ICBM "homing capability" maybe someone could write you a plugin that kind of works like mechjebs land at target feature, but only as fast as possible instead of a slow landing

[Fishinforcreeps]

If you're going to do that, I would ask his permission.

[Mark James]

I will deffinatly do that soon as i get the chance

You should probably also be able to use the LazorSystem plugin to make something functionally similar to the RIM-161 Standard Missile 3, an anti-ballistic missile that was developed, tested, and is currently in use by the US. It would be useful as both a defense against the ICBMs you are working on (several successful tests done IRL), as well as a handy and explosive way to eliminate spent stages that end up stuck in LKO by using it as an anti-satellite missile (a modified SM-3 was used to shoot down one satellite IRL, specifically USA-193)

As a matter of fact, I think someone else on the forum was working on a 3d model of a SM-3 missile, and had developed it to the point of getting it to show up in KSP. I think it was from before October 2012, but I'm not certain. If you can find it, you might want to ask them if you can use it. IIRC, they gave up on the project and were thinking of releasing the models "as-is", so I doubt they would have any objections to you using them.

It's a shame they gave up on it, I really wanted to see a working version of it!

I made an ICBM using the nova punch pack which was equipped with 6 MIRVs and I do have to say, it worked well. I tried basing the missile off the Minuteman III (LGM-30G) which I eventually derived a SSTO from and used that as an ICBM. That thing was waaaaay over powered, it could reach the Mün... one engine... some how, I don't think normal missiles could do that.

[Mark James]

Do you think you can find the developer so i can contact him

[little square dot]

Am I the only one scratching my head over this thread?

Mark, what exactly have you done/are you doing? What is your vision for this mod?

[Mark James]

To answer little square dots question my mod will include 2 american icbms(minuteman and peacekeeper) and

2 russian missile (undecided) I also may include different veryints (short and long range) there will also be guideince parts

So you can manuly control or set a target

Ps sorry about the delayed pictures my development program has been not letting me export

Sry about my bad english

[Mark James]

Development update: almost done with the

Minuteman missle command pod

Mark, what exactly have you done/are you doing? What is your vision for this mod?

[Flixxbeatz]

No worries, I've been nuking the Mun since 0.13(?)

[Floki]

Have enough RCS thrusters on their Captain Kalawang (jokingly said)?

[1of6Billion]

Will you also include a plugin that let's you pick a target on Kerbin's surface?

That would be a great and fast way to get to, say, KSC2.

[dimovski]

How about R-16 and R-36 for the russkies?

[Camacha]

Some screenies or actual work would be appreciated

[Mark James]
