Kerbals , show your first designs!

[SoldierHair]

If you still have them , it would be great to share your first designs.

Well , as you can see i had an obsession with fuel crossfeed because i didn't knew how it worked (and this made my rockets very inbalanced after burning through some the fuel *spinspin*).

This is my desperate atempt to reach orbit and leave a sattelite there.I still have one in orbit , reminds me of the good old days when i didn't understood a single thing.

"HAHA , now that i reached a stabble orbit i bet i can reach Mun".Foolish i was , that thing can't even reach 500m without flipping.

And this is the start of my better ships , also the 3rd rocket build (without putting into consideration the Mk 3,4,5,6 of the above "M.U.N."...).Also , this is the start of my creative names

Tested it recently.Thing's breaking through the atmosphere like there is no tomorrow.Right here i had over 1000m/s at 15-20km away from Kerbin.

Now , what were your first rockets/planes?

Love that last picture.

My first designs were back in 0.13, and I don't have any screenshots.

[tntristan12]

That Saramir sure is one fine looking craft.

I don't have my first design, because my first design was made from 90% mod parts, back before we had even a quarter of the parts we have today. It's sole function was to dump a satellite into LKO then return to Kerbin. It was about as tall as the launch tower and had the classy name "Phallus Mk. I"

[CalculusWarrior]

I didn't even know how to take screenshots back when I designed my first rockets, but I recall having a lot of difficulty getting into orbit, and I had to look up tutorials in order to do so.

[SoldierHair]

There is only one problem with Saramir.That dorsally mounted chute is making the capsule tip over.I could simply mount 2 radially , but that will destroy the "purity" of it.

I got to the Mun with this one. I think. Got to, not landed safely.

[NuclearWarfare]

Back in July or so on an account I can't even remember the name of, I posted a picture of me sending a rocket straight up to 100 KM to put a mod satellite into what I thought was orbit. I didn't know much about space back then... But that was when the game was totally free.

This is the only pic of the first (flyable) rocket I ever made, back in the demo.

[Shadow86]

This is the Kerbus XIII, probably my first effective orbiter:

And I love this shot from below:

[Spartwo]

as soon as I got the full version went straight to duna.

did a suicide dive from beyond ike

[SoldierHair]

I think only 1 of that small radial fuel tanks is 30tons.

My first functional plane, vtol using the damned robotics rotatron to vector the thrust... don't think I ever managed to successfully land it lol

dang ok link, cant seem to hotlink from steam community

[Astrobug]

My first reliable orbiter, a slight variation took me to the Mun as well.

[Commander Zoom]

I give you the imaginatively named "Orbiter 1", from back in the single-digit versions (circa .8 or so):

Note that the command pod is a classic three-kerbal Mk I, with a replacement model (by Silisko, I believe); this is from before we had an actual one-kerb pod, which my more recent "first try" rockets have in a nod to the Mercury program.

See that bottom stage? That's six old stock SRBs, glued together. No struts, no symmetry, just surface attachment and best-guess hand placement. It's a wonder the thing flew at all. A later, saner revision hung them off the liquid fuel tanks with radial decouplers, making the stack shorter and wider.

The upper stage in flight.

Took this picture before I knew what F1 did.

The good old Blocky I.

Picked up the game a little less than week ago when it was mentioned over at RPS. After a trip to Mun and some other messing around I decided it was time to design some way to put the heavy stuff in orbit before starting on a station or base. It's hard to get a close up but this is the result of quite a few days work...

... not bad, so far it gets the two red tanks to orbit totally full of fuel and 200 to 400 litres (?) remaining in previous stage's Rockomax X200-32.

Disclaimer:

I did play the KSP demo way back in time - I did not have a fun time with the designer back then - so, this is not perhaps my 'first ship' ever but, hay, just got it working nicely today and really happy to find a place to share it.
