Decoupler Challange.

[MassiveEffectz]

Challange!

Get into space.

The only propulsion device you get is decouplers.

You must have a screen shot of your thing in space, flight log, and on the launch pad.

Allowed part packs are Sunday Punch Pack, C7\'s Flight Pack, Stock, and Nova Silisko\'s SIDR.

Hmmmm... ksp laggs alot with 99 stages...

[Napaeozapus]

Is this based off my 'maybe we should get a really long stick' idea?

[MassiveEffectz]

yes

[icefire]

Don\'t decouplers add no velocity to your current stage, only decrease whatever stage it\'s separating?

Currently, yes.

here\'s an idea:

ejectionForce =-30000

Um....what? ???

[jgjiscool]

Try it. Will the engine even load that?

The results are less impressive than you think. Putting it above the command module allows for some silliness with throwing things forwards, but you don\'t get as much velocity would be nice (and there\'s no control of it post-launch.) Putting such a decoupler below the command module will result in messy explosions, as parts fly into eachother at high speed.

Processing and uploading the results now.

[jgjiscool]

It should be good. Maybe what we need here is a relly strong part underneath while the decoupler presses downward...

[SteevyT]

Results are here, involves confusion and explosions.

'This will probably either break or explode, but who cares, it\'s Kerbal Space Program.'

This made me giggle... captures a lot of the KSP attitude better than most thing I\'ve seen.
