Operation: Ready

[3_bit]

Briefing

The Kerbal Emergency Preperation division has calculated that the chances of a major catastrophe happening is overly high, and you have been tasked with a vessel capable of accomplishing any tasks. While we know this is impossible to do with our budget, we have been authorized to use as much funding as we want, and will try to be ready for anything that comes our way, whether it be a simple towing mission of a powerless vessel, infiltration of an alien archive, or rescue of a downed freighter's crew.

Note: You will not need more than 2 vessels, the mission will not put you in a crisis where you must go to more than 2 celestial bodies at a time.

Rules: You have exactly 1 week to prepare your vessel, whether it be one individual ship, a cluster of smaller ships functioning as one, or a massive carrier-like ship. You may also have a fleet of vessels optionally, but they should be able to all go to the destination planet's orbit, should there be one. This means ships CAN hitch rides atop others. Refueling is allowed, but beware as there may be time limits.

The following mods are allowed:

KAS

Kethane

Mechjeb (and Mechjeb 2)

Novapunch

KW Rocketry B9 Aerospace

And any others, provided they do not make up part of the main drive section (fuel tanks & engines) for a majority or your fleet nor do they do all the "heavy lifting" of transfers.

This means any "cool" mod or cockpit or sensor device is allowed.

Rules:

-Stick to the above mods the list best you can

-You have 7 Earth Days to finish your vessel and submit it. On May 27th, 2013, the mission will be given and your ship should be capable of fulfilling it if possible.

Points:

Will be posted when Mission is posted: spoilers to mission may be present in point system.

My submission will be posted below when it is ready.

hmm.. I was confused at first but I read it a couple of times and I sort of get it now.

You`ll be posting some kind of task on the 27th and we have until then to prepare some ship in orbit versatile enough to deal with the unexpected and complete the task?

I`ll submit a ship design later this evening methinks, but promise you`ll actually post the task when the time comes

[3_bit]

You have it spot on.

[koshelenkovv]

No, thanks.

I always build rocket for the task.

[soranno]

most of the things I try end up in some unforseen circumstance anyway, so I`ll submit a ship and use it in the challenge when it is posted.

I`ve set my engineers to the task in the back of my mind, while the rest of me is concentrating on my work.. honest

I actually think I've got the perfect monster ship for the job, my grand tour mothership and her fleet!

I'm pretty sure it can handle anything you throw at it. With the fleet attached, it can land on any body you want, aside from Jool. Also very modular, can dump excess weight easily. Don't need an Eve rescue? Dump the Eve lander. That alone nearly doubles the acceleration if the job needs to get done fast. Alternatively, keep the Eve lander and get tens of kilometers in extra Delta-V. I've got this in the bag XD

That is uh... Overkill? I plan on making my own supership as well, but as I am the one making the challenge I cannot win, as I may subconsciously design it for the task to be assigned

[Ekku Zakku]

Yeah, for something designed to go EVERYWHERE (in one trip as well) aside from the Sun and the "surface" of Jool, it is pretty much overkill for any other task XD but hey, it'll save me time from having to make something else that will ultimately do less than what I already have lol.

I think it would be quite funny if the mission was to blow up different vessels, I would blow up your becuase it as no armor OR weapons LOL (no offence btw)

Mod-u-lar! Besides, I think that Eve lander can absorb a pretty good blow from another vessel XD

what a capital ship with 150+ lasers?

or even backed up with my dreadnought with 70+missiles?

Lol

[Ekku Zakku]

Sorry, I don't use mods XD I meant an impact. How many lasers and missiles you reckon I could fit on there though?

[The Jedi Master]

Well, my first attempt crashed so hard it crashed the game... this is gonna suck...

[Caldari Navy]

OH IS THAT THE CASE!

Well then Ijust so happened to have TITAN the size of the SPH (length wise) which I can ram into it!
