Spiritwolf/Hanland Submissions

[Sliinty]

As for classifications, do it by wet mass and intended purpose rather than by diameter

[datubaman]

Alright, here is something I would really like to see done. I think it would be really cool if we came up with and used a standardized designation system, like those that are used in today's navies. I already gave an example of one with my previous post with the Rontop Kerman-class Destroyer. The designation system I use is a set of four letters followed by a number, in which the first two letters identify the manufacturer of the vehicle, the latter two identify the type of ship, and the number is a hull number. So, for example, the designation of the KSS Gene Roddenberry is SkDD-10. Here, the "Sk" identifies that ship as being made by Skysound, the "DD" identifies that ship as a Destroyer, and the 10 identifies it as being the 10th Destroyer built.

Now, you all must be thinking, what's the point? Well, let's look at a real-life example. Think of how many different ships have borne the name Enterprise. A quick look on Wikipedia reveals that there are quite a few. But, when you refer to OV-101, you know that you are talking about the first Space Shuttle Orbiter. And when you refer to CVN-65, you are referring to the world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. And when you are referring to NCC-1701-D you are referring to the one that was captained by Patrick Stewart and went where no man has gone before. The point is that it allows for names to be reusable, or for two different coexisting ships to bear the same name simultaneously. In other words, we can have another KSS Spirit of Kerbin (albiet with a different designation)!

Plus, it would add a greater level of depth to Macey's series, and who doesn't want that?

P.S. Also, another classification that I feel is very, very much needed, if not for the necessity then just the sheer epicness of having one.

Battleship - BB

Heavily armored ships with plenty of firepower to spare.

Think the KSS Vanguard, but bigger, MUCH bigger.

Don't forget one thing concerning naming Spiritwolf and hanland are corporations, not military groups , so here we are speaking of various other corporations assisting one side or another. I would be ok with having common class designation based on wet weight and purpose (freighter, cruiser, frigate, etc) but other than that, standardized naming convention would not fit the corporate environment. (on earth, the various countries does not have the same designation for their warships)

Mountain Industries - Antimatter Weapons, For A Brighter Tomorrow

[speedboiae86]

Those are pretty damn badass!! Mostly all I've been developing are medium fighters and SSTO's.

[Hector_919]

With all that you could easily build your own fleet, seriously...

one thing I noticed is that you used a lot of 1x1 panels instead of 2x2, causing a higher part count and leaving parts of the ship intact. This kind of weak spot was what allowed a mosquito equipped with the weakest torpedos of the entire series to kill the Grendel class Destroyer in macey's last video. also leavong a little more space between armor and hull makes reloading easier and increases the effectivity of the armor on bigger ships (Weapons [notably heavy torpedos] often push the armor inward, sometimes far enough to have vulnerable parts pop through).

have you tried guided weapons already? I can see drone pods on the top of some of your SRB-torpedos, but without other control systems - do (can?) you use them for steering?

The (unfortunately part-count intense) guided Missiles I used on the Reaper have ASAS, RCS and a good balance that allows reliable steering in all fuel and thrust situations and have proven to be lethal for even a vanguard. the Range is quite comfortable, but I wonder if that's necessary if you think about the round-based nature of the last Battle.

does anyone feel like taking a look at them and telling me his opinion? Being objective about your own construction can be quite hard...

Ladies and Gentlemen, on behalf of everyone here at SkySound, I am proud to announce the launch of our most ambitious endeavor yet: The BB-X Project! The BB-X Project is a massive undertaking, gathering the combined resources that the greatest minds here at SkySound have to offer. The Goal? The development of the first ever true, long range, long endurance Battleship for use in combat around Laythe. The BB-X will be enormous, with an estimated part count ranging from 6-800 parts, and will be very heavily armored. It has a projected crew of 36, distributed across 26 crew stations, including a Main and Auxiliary Navigation Bridge placed atop two conning towers, one on the top and one on the bottom, two, rearward facing Communications Bridges, a heavily defended Main Command & Control Station, an equally fortified Auxiliary Command & Control Station, a Main Fire Control Station placed on the prow of the ship, an Auxiliary Fire Control Station buried deep within the ship, and twenty Fighter Defense Control Stations situated around the ship. Its primary armament will be two, triple-stack Hades Cannons, with an entirely self-contained reloading system that leads from an internal magazine that houses spare ammunition. It will also feature an extensive array of Anti-Fighter Missiles and a battery of small Guided Anti-Ship Missiles. As progress continues with this project, we will keep you posted. See you in Space!

P.S To the person who put a picture of Dr. Hanland's face on the dartboard in the break room, you need to take it down. It's already full of holes and we're gonna be replacing that dartboard with a full 3'x4' full body portrait of him as a replacement. We haven't quite figured out where to put the bullseye, but we have some ideas...

Testing the "Full Refund"'s Armor

Its Tough

Small Missiles - Do nothing

Except maybe become inconvenient when lodged in Weapon systems

Large missiles - Very Destructive

Direct hits are devastating but crew often survives unless hit directly in the command areas

Plate armor quite effective

its currently 288 Parts, could cut it down during optimisation, maybe remove some of the less critical armor and expose some systems we'll see

you should put regular SAS instead of ASAS on the large torpedoes. ASAS uses the vectoring and rcs to stay steady, while SAS uses torque.

[Lazro]

If memory serves, all SAS does is attempt to stop rotation, it makes no effort to lock heading. Also, SAS doesn't add torque force at all, I've tested it using a Probe core with SAS and without SAS- no change.

J-Tech AT-BT Mk.2

AT-BT stands for All Terrain-Buggy Transport. It is designed to take a kerbal through any sort of terrain, perferrably in an atmosphere. The Mk.2 model is the upgrade from the Mk.1, with parachutes for the atmosphere, of Duna, Eve or Laythe, and has landing struts on the bottom which, when deployed, makes the front end come closer to the ground, making it easier for the kerbal to board it(doesn't work on Eve). I've tested it on Kerbin, Mun, Eve, Laythe and Duna. I don't recommend making sharp turns on the Mun or Duna, it flips very easily, but it works on planets with heavier atmospheres, such as Kerbin and Eve.I've dropped it from the atmosphere on Duna (around 15 m/s fully deployed parachutes) and Eve (around 6 m/s). Both times you might have to get out and repair the wheels, as they take the fall for the rest of the craft. It has a small docking port at the back, but I haven't made any use for it yet(mabye transport wagon for other kerbals) It can reach speeds up to over 20 m/s on flat surfaces, making it excellent for scouting and reconaissance. NOTE: While testing on Laythe going down hill somewhere at 40 m/s, and the two front wheels collided and sent the whole rover spinning in the air. It was decapitated when it reached the ground. Proceed with caution when reaching extreme speeds.

Command Keys:

1) Toggle front lights

2) Toggle back lights

3) Extend antennae

G) Toggle landing struts

Company Name: J-Tech

Allegiance: Neutral, will do business with either company.

UPDATE:

J-Tech AT-BT Mk.3

The Mk.3 comes equipped with an extra parachute and ladders, since the landing struts barely made a difference anyway and would break easily.

Wow...I seriously underestimated the number of parts that the BB-X would be comprised of.

This is the BB-X as it stands now. It is about 1/3 to 1/4 completed and it is already at 1200 parts...

I do believe, that when it come time to try to get it into space, I will come to know the true meaning of lag.

Any bets as to whether this thing will ever get into space?

Reminds me of the Yamato. Very cool. Do whatever it takes to get in space.

[datubaman]

Reminds me of the Yamato. Very cool. Do whatever it takes to get in space.

Well, sad to say but this one is not going into space, at least not now. After much deliberating, I decided to scrap this design and go for a much simpler and sleeker design. Don't worry, it's still gonna be a very similar design, I'm just cutting down on the crew compartments and some other things. Currently, the new design is going great, and I think I may have a winner. And a war-winner at that. I may try the old design again if they make bigger panels, but not before then.

[Temido2222]

I think since Macey's busy, someone with a Youtube channel should download these craft and make them fight against each other, and the winner gets to advance to fight more ships. Of course, this would need a unified class system so we don't have heavy fighter getting torn to shreds by friggates. As for cariers, they would be outfitted with Macey's classic figter design.

I was actually considering doing something like this before I left on vacation. I would be willing to make the episodes since I already run a channel on youtubez. It could be called "Community Fight Night" I would probably be able to do them once a week on friday or saturday.

If there are enough people interested in me doing this let me know. I'll probably make a pilot episode as an example.

[Varyon]

Project Dominus explodes spectacularly, if I do say so myself. It's not really good for much else, so why not target practice? I'll get a .craft and a persistence up when I can.

[datubaman]

Aaaaaaaaaaand it looks like I have to trim down the BB-X again. It is quickly dawning on me that my dream of making a full scale battleship using stock parts may be impossible.

[Noname117]

Datubaman, maybe you should launch it in seperate assemblies... also allowing damaged parts to be replaced

[datubaman]

Oh, I haven't even gotten that far yet. The problem is the immense amount of lag that I am experiencing trying to assemble it in the SPH, and it gets even worse when I try and take it out to do structural tests, I usually end up getting less than one frame per second. The reason for the lag is the huge amount of parts used in making it. My last attempt was in excess of 1300 parts, and lagged so bad that it would be impossible to make it go in any direction other than down.

[Noname117]

textures and everything high or minimal?
