The tug has hit an inexplicable snag. Would someone mind helping out and telling me what's so horribly wrong with this thing why it keeps tipping over?

Can you provide some screenshots instead?

[Promii]

I demand a craft file.

I'll post craft files for the Cetus Mk. II when it's ready. It's already pretty well balanced but I haven't had a chance to test how its asymmetry plays with the newfangled SAS. The launch vehicle certainly wasn't happy when I was toying with it last night after installing 0.21.

I would, but I solved the problem. Still don't know what was wrong at first for sure. xD

I want to post the Inflexible Class Missile Launcher.

Inflexible is a Torpedo launcher, needs refuling in LKO but then can get to Duna easily. It has a fully enclosed launch deck, with a removable (and controllable) cover. 6 torpedoes (you have to manually decouple them) but then they are pilot able and deadly, with RCS and ASAS.

This is what it does to a Capital Ship...

[AseaHeru]

I built a transport ship, now I just need to figure out how to launch it. It may be unusable as well, most of the thing is hitchhikers so there's not a ton of fuel. I have also made a drop ship I now need to fix. And then get everything together.

I have to admit, that detachable cowling is quite cool

I dont think you took into account the balance problems you would have with this, you release these rockets and the COM will be offset, making the rocket when thrusting veer in different directions.

[MasterFlyer6626]

Yes, yes you can.

In the meantime, anyone know a good launcher design for lifting 20 tons or so? My current design requires me to burn about a minute of my interplanetary injection stage to circularize, and I don't really like that.

"The Mark 14 was developed to fix several issues that it's precursor lacked, mainly an engine that didn't take 30 minutes to finish a burn. However, it wasn't as well accepted by the spacefaring community, due to the fact that no sane Kerbal would ever need a craft that had the equivalent of 3 and a half satellite arrays as it's payload."

Simple do what Robbaz would do. Strap a ton of rockets to it.

[zekes]

only when firing one missile. Its best to use two against one ship (to assure a critical hit). Just release the ones on opposing sides.

I have been playing around with some different ammunition types, all formatted to fit to something similar to macey's carriers. I have made a short video in the prev version and have made some improvements, mostly to reduce the part count per round.

Basically, it comes in a clip and is loaded onto the firing port of the ship. There are only two small docking ports on each end of the clip for loading purposes, the first round will fire with its clip end attached while the last part must be manually ejected after all rounds are spent. (think like the M1 garand). It is an expanded concept from the other weapons macey used in combat but in reloadable magazines.

Some things that need to be kept in mind are weight and part count.

From what I can tell macey's general torpedoes use:

1 Oscar B Fuel Tank (mass = 0.078675)

1 LV-1 Liquid Fuel Engine (mass = 0.03)

2 Clamp-O Tron Jr (mass = 0.02x2 = 0.04)

Total mass = 0.148675

The cannon rounds demonstrated in my early lance cannon are as follows:

8 Sepatron I (mass = 0.0725x8 = 0.58)

1 TR-18 Stack Decoupler (mass = 0.05)

1 cubic octagonal strut (mass = 0.001)

Total mass = 0.631 (does not include the 2 Clamp-O Tron Jr (mass = 0.02x2 = 0.04) found on each end of the clip)

That is a whopping 4.244... times increase in mass per round. and it has a part count of 10 while the standard torps only have 4.

So I revised it a little using only 3 sepatrons and replacing the decoupler with the smaller TR2V.

I even designed something to carry enough to load this freighter of mine with enough; but the part count of eight six round clips was a killer on my frame rate. plus new version, couldn't use the freighter oddly enough. =\

But anyway, I'll be dealing in kerbin arms at some point i'm sure. =P

EDIT:

Here's is an update on the lance cannons: much more compact, not as deadly though, =\

I'll probably look into structural alternatives seeing as the strutting only has an impact tolerance of 8, which can result in the piece exploding on impact instead of breaking the part, this penetrating armour.

For an example:

The standard torps used in macey's vids have a front clamp-o tron jr, which has an impact tolerance of 10; the armour he mostly fired these at varied form wing parts which have a tolerance of 15 which can suggest why the torps could not penetrate. Structural panels can be even more intimidating (which much heavier than wing panels) they have a tolerance of 80. So tolerance, speed, and mass play a big part in dealing damage.

We here at Big Horn Industries take pride in our ballistic studies and guarantee quality products!

A general purpose type of freighter capable of hauling fuel, munitions, and craft.

Big Horn Industries cares not who they work with so long as the money flows. I'll play neutral arms dealing until something happens (ie: either spirit worlf attacks a freighter supplying hanland or hanland seizes big horn assets). This design so far proves pretty reliable and clocks around 200 parts unloaded.

on a personal note, I am not fond of guided weaponry, it is not fun to look at as it is basically ramming, but with disposable probes attached to liquid rockets...

It has come to our attention that the Custodian-class battlecruiser is incredibly slow. After much trial and error we are finally rolling out a suitable escort for the lumbering dreadnought.

(Trivia: Macey's standard wimpy torpedoes have enough ÃŽâ€v to escape Kerbin orbit.)

Ship: Snub-Tank

Company: Anderson Vehicle Unit

Company Bio: We make vehicles for the Kerbin army. Are vehicles are usually armored if it isn't it's medical or re-supply.

Alllegience: Hanland

Part Count: 72 Parts

Operation Manual: Space to fire gun.

Aditional Info: This is the Anderson Vehicle Unit Tank. This craft would be for Kerbin use but when going to a reveal Callum's scientist was sniped and the whole convoy was over run by Hanland troops if Callum had the choice he would of sold it to SpiritWolf all we know about Callum is that he secretly supplies SpiritWolf in any way he can. This is the only Hanland vehicle of his.

I built Macey a Medical Ship with a rescue pod that can save some stranded in space war victims and bring it back to the ship. And I'm going to send it to him as soon as I insert this thing into a stable orbit around Layhte :3

My computer apparently doesn't like Sentinels, so I made a tiny pew pew fighter.

Half the size of a Shade, thrice as deadly.

Two of those rails is enough to rip a Shade in half.

Does anyone has any ideas about how to make bombs? I tried using cylindrified RCS tanks but it didn't really work.

Your little fighter seems to be using a "rail gun".

The trick is to find something with Impact Resistance at or greater than 80. That's because armour plates have an impact resistance of 80. When a part strikes another part with enough force, the one with the lowest impact resistance is destroyed. In the case of an identical impact resistance, this is enough to break armour. That's why sgt_flyer's Drill Warheads are so effective.

But I need bombs for an atmospheric fighter so they have to be small.

Rails are the most compact 80 resistance I can find, so railgun it is

Sgt_Flyer's Drill Warhead uses structural pylons, which have an impact resistance of 999. I've tried compacting them down for fighter use, but they're best on SRB's or better

Greetings from the Hellas Corps. For some time, several minor nations unable to afford their own space force have grown concerned about both Spiritwolf's near monopoly and Hanland's increasing belligerence. After the incident known as the battle of Vulture's drift, it became apparent that the conflict could only escalate. Thus, the Hellas Corps was founded by these nations to provide an independent source of affordable warships to protect the interests of minor nations across Kerbin.

Introducing the Titan class dreadnought. The backbone of the Hellas Corps fleet, the Titan was designed to fill many roles. With it's advanced radar, jamming systems, advanced flight computer, and command facilities it makes an excellent flagship. It's 8 Hades class missiles allow it to deliver a devastating broadside to enemy capital ships while its 96 tonne fuel and 6 tonne RCS capacity allow it to refuel a modest sized fleet anywhere in the system.

After the battle of Laythe and Hanland's use of kamikaze tactics, the founding members of the Hellas Corps have decided that Spiritwolf if the only organization capable of keeping Hanland in check. Because of Spiritwolf's devastating losses, Hellas Corps has ordered the newly launch HCS Hyperion, the third ship of the Titan class, to rendezvous with the Spiritwolf fleet at Laythe to liberate Halcyon 1. In order to meet Spiritwolf specifications, the flight computer on the Hyperion was ripped out and replaced by an

Fully armed, the with 0.20 ASAS of Hyperion weighs in at 379 parts, of which about 70 are structural to keep it from shaking itself apart during launch. After the introduction of the 0.21 ASAS, engineers have found that they can rip out most of those struts without catastrophic failure. Early tests suggest that a fully armed Titan can be slimmed down to under 300 parts.

More information will be provided later on the other ships provided by Hellas Corps. I will be traveling this weekend so it might not be until late Sunday.

MechJeb2 was used on the support ships (Argo, Palinouros, and Tartarus) for launch and rendezvous in the interest of expediency. Docking was done manually with MechJeb acting as ASAS.
