I thought my 450 ton Zeus Mothership was big....

[alex the killa]

Eve Ranger (hopefully going to land on Eve and take off with it) - 675 tons

However, despite that, I still think my Zeus Mothership is so much cooler looking

Zeus Mothership -

BUT

675 friggin' tons to space! That has to be a record of some sort.

The launch vehicle

[astroadrian99]

How many Parts is it and can I have the Craft file

[sidew]

O_o

The rocket is more larger than the launch platform

[Scoundrel]

Nicely done. You should post a craft file for, uh, science reasons. Yeah! Totally for science. And stuff.

[HoY]

Just curious about this massive thing. Is it a single stage? Or multi stage?

What is the mass after it reaches eve orbit from the surface? It looks like just a single kerbal, so I'm slightly curious why its so large

[iDan122]

My PC will explode from this, literally.

I think It is that size so that the craft can return to Kerbin from Eve because Eve's atmosphere is to thick for a smaller one. I think this because all of my craft that I take to Eve never return because they have to little fuel.

[HoY]

I get that it needs fuel, but I've seen eve surface to kerban surface ships in less than 100 tonnes, I was just curious if there was another reason for this being so large

[alex the killa]

All of those were pre-Eve getting nerfed (or buffed?) so it would be harder to take off from though

[alex the killa]

Correction, 750ton in a 100km circular orbit. The payload itself has had no fuel used either - I don't even need a refueler :3

[alex the killa]

I'll upload the craft file after I land on Eve and return Also - know that the ship is finnicky and random parts blow up, fall off, and stop working, so you have to be able to see that and react to get it into orbit lol

Like this trip 2 engines (non-symmetrically) fell off and I had to react to that, and two fuel tanks fell off, and other stuff blew up. AND I STILL GOT IT TO SPACE. lol

[HoY]

They were 2 weeks ago lol, unless it got nerfed between .20.1 and .20.2

[alex the killa]

Link! Either way idc I like the idea of a stupidly op craft

[HoY]

It was on KLF I don't think he shared the craft, but it was 4 tall SRB's, 4 32 tanks with skippers on them, and a 32 + 16 tank with (equivelant of 4x LVN) a 240kn LVN from a mod pack. It's literally 4x LVN's in one, including the extra mass so it's balanced but fewer parts

[CaptinKornflake]

oh, IT'S YOU! Man when are you next streaming?

[HoY]

It won't be till July 5'th, I'm currently on the other side of the country with my family, and as "awesome" as the unity engine is, it doesn't let me play KSP on my iPhone lol.

Family comes first tho

[RobbazIsKing]

Didn't even know ships that size could be created let a lone work

[Neotician]

I might be a bit superficial.. But isn't this just a bunch of fuel tanks with rocket motors mashed together with decouplers?
