Planetary Bases, Space Planes, Returnable Landers with Detachable Rovers/Transports!


Recommended Posts

:P k so I am excited to see what others have done. I once saw a mod user with their base next to their rover transport next to their hover rocket plane. So now I have used stock Kerbal items to make my own space plane, returnable (can go to Duna and come back to Kerbin) lander with detachable rover/transport, and base. My major issue is getting them all in the same place for a nice photo. :D I would love to see similar space craft that you designed. I feel our creations are a direct visual expression of our personalities. So comments are welcome and please send your photos :) Here are my creations. jhgtuyhgf_zps4aff141a.jpg That is my Space plane I named it Jen-ion (my name is Jenian I felt it was witty :P) it is solar powered and has 5 ion engines. I have tested it on all atmospheric planets in the game and it flies in all of them I am proud of it but Im told it looks like a glorified boomerang... :Dvfghfgf_zps9104b10b.jpg This is my Lander Which Im told looks like a lovely upside down bucket.... The lander is awesome it descends with aid of parachutes, lands deploys RC rover transport from underneath (to me it looks like its giving birth as it does so), kneels down to let astronauts out. Astronauts can ride the rover. It then rockets upward carrying the astronauts home, destroying itself systematically as it gets back into orbit to lessen weight (there are extra parachutes just in case it fails to do so threw human error). Then the ship can be docked and towed and or use its ion engines to go back home. ghgf_zps79c39dae.jpg This is my Duna Base. It houses 10 Kerbals in it's 5 crew chambers. There are two ways to make it, Either sending three rockets docking them together and then sending them down to parachute on to the planet, or sending the whole thing wrapped up in a cage pushed by a nuclear engine rocket... which is dangerous cuz as it lands the nuclear rocket does too..... several km away but still we don't want to nuke any planets as we colonize, very bad idea. kuyfsudfhjsdf_zps7224383b.jpg This is the rover and transport. It seats two in between the wheels on both sides and can flip upside down or on its side in any which way and the legs on its back flip it right side up again.... just make sure to remove the astronauts from their seats or it could wack them out of the rover.... they back up again if wacked but it is safe practice to prevent. It is solar powered, and has no need for batteries.

I do not think you understand. I want everyone to share their creations because I like seeing their personality expressed threw their creativity. Because you do not care for my previous post I will show you some of my more wacky creations that are more rare to see on Kerbal. motorcycle_zps43c64680.jpg This is my motor cycle made from stock parts yes it works it can go fast forward and backward, but turning is slow and requires patience. probedollie_zps464d3fc4.jpg This is my Space Dollie, I wanted to make a probe that looked like a android. It is functional because if it lands on a planet it can roll around on its back or stand on its front legs/arms. It even gets deployed by a swing like structure :Drocketcar_zps63eac0c1.jpg This is my rocket/jet hover car, it can reach speeds of up to mach 4 (1360m/s+) It hovers up to take off and hovers down to land. It is hard to stall and accurate when landing. dfsfsd_zpsef984aa7.jpg Lastly this is my inter-planetary space station it can traverse between planets.
