Spiritwolf/Hanland Submissions

[stallion x1]

I know that its hugely ineffective but it was intended more as a proof of concept and maybe an emergency ejection shield? Eg command pod ejects and opens solar panels to give itself a vague semblance of protection but it will only truely work when ksp doesnt feel the need to apply physics to every single object in a ship instead of just calculating it for the whole ship so that we can have huge ship sizes:P

[Valley]

I would love to design and build a warship for the Hanland BUT I suck as flying and use MechJeb to do so. IF I can show that the ship is able to go into orbit and carry functional weapons with a MJ 2 attached, could I remove the MJ unit, making it purely stock, and submit the blueprint?

[daemonCaptrix]

Can anyone recommend a way to armor the engines without looking bad.

Flare the armour out, or curve it inward organically like on my ships.

After this was as good as it got

I took what I learned,tore apart this into it's main components(Armor,engines,weapons)

http://i.imgur.com/ka6IYNU.png?1

and completly overhauled the design

It is lighter,faster,has more d/v,smaller,more powerful and is stronger than it's highly outdated (19.1) counterpart.no matter how many retrofits.

This will mean an end to the bayonet/skysweeper/kilowhiskey after it's many years of service,It will take it's place among other long serving craft.

@Valley Hanlan ships don't need to be orbit capable Macey is going to cheat them in.

EDIT: Holy crap, the Bayonet was decommissioned.

For once those scientists at the kerbal space centre have developed something that's designed to stop things exploding!

May i present to you the Solar Shield.....

Sorry I already have the patent on that:

[shepard1701]

so...

here's a thought experiment.

Can I design a fighter nimble enough to make an attack run at suicidal speeds and survive? Let's find out.

Thats not a thought experiment... thats just an experiment suicidal or not at all bro.

[shepard1701]

An approach with speeds of around 25 to 50m/s, firing at a distance of 300 meters...

Gives a mere 6 seconds to turn off axis and burn...

I think my fighter can do it...

done already. my Burke is designed especially for that.

[DVGamesInc]

So I've been working on a fighter for Spiritwolf and this is what I've come up with so far.

Spirit Fighter - Mk1 -> http://prntscr.com/1j36q1

And a dock-able version:

Spirit Fighter - Mk2 -> http://prntscr.com/1j36vy

Just give it lateral thrusters that fire when at close range. That would work even on colossal battleships.

[shepard1701]

That's not as dramatic, though.

[zekes]

You want dramatic? okay...

[Spartwo]

So I just got to lathe and realized I was orbiting clockwise

[zekes]

ive done that.... that sucks.

[Captain Sierra]

<SNIP>

Can't count how many times I've done that. Gets annoying real quick.

[daemonCaptrix]

It's terribly dramatic. That's why Vipers from BSG use them.

Zekes, is that a submarine? Looks like a submarine. I suppose that's a step up from Hershey bar...

Class: Light Escort AKA "Callisto"

Company: Valley Inc.

Allied With: Hanland

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BzWVddevUqx5Qi1PcG1ES0dPeU0/edit?usp=sharing

Valley Inc, while well known for making space trucks and cargo ships in a time of peace for the Kerbin-Mun route, quickly shifted gears when the Spiritwolf-Hanland conflict started. Siding with the Hanland, whose many goals its top ranks secretly share, it started research and development in the field of military space craft. Most of the workers and staff within the company didn't protest due to the large profits foreseen if victory was gained. Using its already proven designs it soon had the prototype off the factory floor and in orbit, blasting away at targets in orbit.

More of a heavy one-Kerbal fighter than a Light Escort, the craft is a wonderful piece of engineering, simple and easy to use.

The Light Escort is perfect for orbital battles and its weapon system, which can be controlled totally by action groups, allows even a child to destroy enemy ships with ease.

The rear mounted docking port not only allows for refueling but booster attachments if need be.

If found to be of use to its allies no doubt there will be more such craft developed in the future.

Speaking of.

When swapping out my torpedoes for the Minigun mod, my latest interceptor behaves... pretty much like some variant of viper.

I'd show it off, but my videos on Youtube tend to get butchered. Does anyone know how to fix this sort of problem?

[daemonCaptrix]

I've noticed a tendency for weapons to phase through armour without breaking it. It seems to happen with any sort of part as long as it's travelling at a relative velocity of 250m/s or so. Anyone else having this problem?

It's a known problem. High relative velocities make the game a little... funny... sometimes.

Looks like I'll have to start working on cutting torches instead. xD

what, like one of these? (see p80):

[sanity]

somewhere a have a small limpet mine thing, that attaches to docking ports and burns through things
