I'm working on a kerbal RTS

[Holo]

As the title says, I'm working on a Kerbal RTS. It currently has very little gameplay yet, but I have made some graphics and most of the gameplay has been planned out.

Here are some screenshots of the current version:

Also, I want to include some craft designed in-game as units, so if you have any craft you'd like to see in this game just send me a .craft file.

If you have any questions or comments about my RTS project, ask

Looks good. only one small problem...

What's an RTS?

EDIT: oh wait, it's a real time strategy game... i forgot

Yep. Got any craft designs or ideas I could use?

[rewdew2]

Well, i have a few. but i don't have the .craft files for you to look at, mostly because it was back in 0.16

that's the only picture i have of it

it's called the L.A.T.S. (Low Altitude Terrain surveyor)

It can do standard flight, and VTOL hovering. can get up to 250 m/s at an altitude of 2500M (ish)

Mostly used for anomaly findings

This looks fricken awesome.

Hmmm...

Does it have to be stock?

[Holo]

Nope, I can put any craft in the RTS. It would be better if it was stock, because then I would be able to open it up in-game and look at it properly.

[The Destroyer]

What about this one? It's a glider basically. Can land and takeoff on top VAB.

If you like it, I'll post .craft.

[Holo]

I do like it. I never though of adding aircraft, but they would be a great addition to the RTS. Bring on the .craft :-P

There it is!

I think.

Requires B9 aerospace, R3 Carrier parts, and firespitter stuff.

[Themohawkninja]

So, what do you need the .craft files for? I'm getting the implication that this is a separately coded game that you are making, so I am curious why you need those files.

Images, sprites, graphics, {other word that means same thing}

[Holo]

Images, sprites, graphics, {other word that means same thing}

Yeah, pretty much. I need to take some screenshots from different angles to get the ingame graphics, and the cost to produce the spacecraft ingame will be based on the KSP parts.

EDIT:

Ingame screenshot, you get a pretty little solar system which you can scroll around using the mouse.

[Whirligig Girl]

can you zoom in/out?

[Holo]

can you zoom in/out?

No, but it's possible to add if you absolutely need zooming

EDIT:

Cute little tooltips now appear when you mouse over celestial bodies.

EDIT2:

Turns out that it's trivial to add all sorts of fun information to the tooltips.

I will play this game so much when it comes out.

In the meantime, you can mess around with what I've already done (just extract the three files inside to your directory of choice):

If you manage to break it, tell me so I can add an inefficient hack to fix it.

Yeah, some things I'd like see to see is being able to zoom... that would be very nice.

[ninjakids]

Holy crap this'll be fun.

[Holo]

Zooming seems to be in high demand, so have this:

Nice, just cant wait to see this turn into a game!

If you zoom in on the Sun (or a planet) very much than everything becomes a line or the screen gets that colour.

Suggestion: Make it so that instead of moving camera via edge, use right click or something.

The only problem I see with this is that Squad might get mad for making a new game using their stuff.

Agreed. Even if this is a simple fan work, this is somthing to note.

As for craft, I offer this:

Starfighter

And this:

Ground Shuttle.

Not 100% stock, but stock parts are the main components.
