A Rendition of the Deep Space Kraken

[Needles_10]

Craft File

It took some time, but I actually managed to create a rendition of the ever-so-dreaded Kraken in the VAB. I don't think, no, I highly doubt that it is possible to launch the Kraken from the launchpad, but you can try! You can post any pictures of the Kraken here, and I'll put them in this first post. This was inspired by RogueMason's smaller Kraken design from his story, "Outreach Colony: The Home on Duna".

Enjoy!

---Notes---

May 11:

I just tried ramming it with one of my heavily armoured cruisers. Kraken was undamaged but the flailing tentecles ripped my ship into shreds.

Its pretty cool how it actually uses kraken power to make its tentacles flail around like metal whips which can rips through anything

I was quite surprised by this!

Runnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I would like to try to get this int orbit.... also it looks amazing!

[Crush]

I don't think, no, I highly doubt that it is possible to "launch" it

But you could put some wheels under it and place it somewhere near the space center as a monument.

[Commander Zoom]

Fhtagn!

[Flixxbeatz]

Care sharing the .craft file?

[Deadpangod3]

*sees kraken*

KILL IT WITH FIRE

*launches Jeb at it on an srb*

Easy way to get it into orbit: make a thread under challenges

[Needles_10]

I'll consider that.

I do need help with uploading the Craft file. Could someone direct me to some way of sharing it? SpacePort doesn't seem to be working right now.

[Ganymede]

I'd recommend Mediafire for uploading crafts. Nice job, by the way

I used Dropbox, but thanks. Craft File is up!

Nice quote! Where does it come from?

Sorry for double-posting in my own thread. (That sounds odd!)

[Ori41]

Nice Job! I like what you did with the SAS module for a red dot

[Deadweasel]

Nice quote! Where does it come from?

That would be Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

[Needles_10]

Ah. So, you can post pictures of it here if you want.

Kill it with Dany's missiles!

...

I haven't even used this ship in KSP. I pondered upon the possibility that its tentacles would flail about, but I didn't quite realize that I actually made the physical form of the DSK "glitch" itself. (I'm pretty sure that's what happened. MY PLANS HAVE WORKED!)

Pics, please? I would love to see this!

What does that mean?

Red Blue or Green: The Reapers are coming!

Not if your colourblind, then you only got one ending

[RogueMason]

Huh, for a minute I thought you were ripping me off (YOU'RE NOT, DON'T WORRY!)

It's just that I thought I'd been the only one to make a Kraken:

I featured it in my Outreach Colony story. It's interesting to see that we thought of the same thing for the eye; the almighty SAS module! Plainly though, mine is smaller and isn't stock (Sunbeam Lasers...).

Anyway, good work on your version

Thank you! I forgot to mention that I was actually inspired by your Kraken design when I decided to make my own! (Adding that fact to the original post!) I enjoyed reading the Outreach Story, and I'm following your Odysseus Story now! You are quite the writer, and you are free to use this for your stories if you want to.
