Pico Space Program

Which type of flame for the boosters do you guys like more?

Condensed

or fanned out?

The condensed version is very slightly more efficient.

[Gojira]

Condensed.

More subassemblies will be made when those are released.

[GusTurbo]

What about a version that has the boosters farther toward the edge, but has them converge,for an inverted triangle shaped exhaust?

That makes it less stable and efficient.

You do so love your rockets

[AmpsterMan]

Hey Giiggle, loving your rockets, but whilst everyone around these parts seems to go for MOAR BIGGERER, these go the opposite way.. Why are you using the smaller parts?

I guess I wanted to be unique. I also love the challenge of working with even less parts than everyone else.

[Giggleplex777]

Prototype version of the Shuttle C.

It's having severe rolling problems ATM.

[GusTurbo]

Pico Space Program is the best space program.

[astropapi1]

Pretty much what GusTurbo just said. You're awesome.

I'm switching focus to Zepto Labs for a few days now.

Does anyone want to request a new rocket (something in real life, preferably)?

Giggleplex, I must say: I love small craft. I LOVE small craft. Here's my take on Orion, but with reusability intended, thus the docking ports above and below.

Edit: This was taken on my Sandy Bridge Pentium laptop, thus low settings.

For that Shuttle design that keeps on failing, try moving the 3 engine cluster farther from the CoM. That way while you use the force being exerted on the CoM as well as the torque of the engines in order to keep it flying straight.

Engines don't have roll control, yet.

Have tried putting it on top of the Ares I? I've been trying to make an Ares V for a while now but it just can't seem to lift enough to orbit.

Ariane is ready so I might release it on Thursday if I have time.

I'll throw it on top and see if it can lift.

I'm back and I'm working on the Kliper!

I like the clustered radial engines. You have discovered a new way to make engine clustering look good!

But is it efficient enough? Those engines have terrible isp

Black Arrow? It's simple, but might be fun to see if that has any lifting capability in KSP.

They're not very efficient, but they are the only engines that could do the job. I just ended up slapping a lot of fuel to the first stage.

I'll try that.

[Scorpi15]

Can I suggest the SLS?

[Giggleplex777]

Sure, I'll it.

[Giggleplex777]

Kliper's up!

[DisarmingBaton5]

How about Skylon?

Also, that Kliper is fantastic. I just sent it to the Mun.

EDIT: Yet another suggestion incoming! Scout!

How about X-33 instead?

[DisarmingBaton5]

Good luck. That thing looks nearly impossible.

Key word: "nearly"
