The Spacecraft Exchange Forum


Recommended Posts

This forum is meant to be an official place for everyone to make posts and share their spacecraft designs.

Please try to keep images to a reasonable size, and below 300KB

One rule: If you post a .craft file that requires 3rd party addons, you must also specify what addons those are, so people can load your ship.

Cheers

hey i was just thinking

maybe there should be a few simple posting rules for posting a rocket

something like this ?

rule: 1 post a picture of the rocket you want to share.

rule: 2 let people know wich mods they need for your rocket

just a little tought :)

I dunno, if someone doesn't have the common sense to share the design of the rocket they're talking about and what's needed to make it, I seriously doubt they have the mental capacity to understand how rules work.

This should perhaps be on the first page, but a good rule of thumb is to not trust the forum's attachment system: it's pretty broken. ^^'

Instead, use some image hosting system to post links to you images (or the BBC code to display them), and another file hosting site for the craft files. I use imgur for pictures and mediafire for files, both free, but that's personal preference.

Rune. And please, no links to your desktop :P

Thought I'll share a spaceplane of mine. Generic, but I rather like it. Controls easily, and is quite easy to get to orbit.

edit: oh well, seems as "justpaste.it" didn't work with the craft file.

edit2: isn't it possible to delete my own posts?^^ See now that this isn't the tread to post this in.

A work horse for placing things and attaching items to orbiting craft as well as refueling has been my D-Truck rocket. Here it is refueling one of my ships above Kerbin. xgw2E2b.png

Here is a small list of variations to the rocket to meet a need or challenge.

The basic rocket.

The rocket with a nuclear engine to deliver to same orbiting craft earlier.

Being made ready to deliver housing for the kerbals.

D-Truck in its refueling configuration. It can deliver about 90% of one Orange fuel tank with the new mid range engine attached.

I am ready to figure out how to post craft files. When I have that figure out I will try to post a non add-on version. Most of these rockets are non add-on with the exception of MechJeb to help in finding and docking with other craft. BJ.Quest

A closer view of the "truck" craft in version .21.1 6 mainsail engines and 1 skipper engine. Engine run sequence 6, 4, 3(including the skipper) then the skipper on its own. This get the rocket in orbit to do what it is assigned to do in good fashion. :-) BJQ

Type 2 Ranoak class Freighter. All stock parts.

Type 1 snapped in two all the time because the large RCS tank would always break what was above it, so I replaced it with a 2nd habitation module and placed smaller RCS tanks around it.

It has 4 Atomic Engines and 8 Ion engines, it is capable of long ranged supply missions with many large fuel tanks and docking ports.

It has 1 large docking port on the back, 5 medium ports, and 6 small ports.

8 Large solar panels supply it with power; however, I did not place the panels in the most optimal way, thus at the best angle the panels can only power 66% throttle on the ion engines.

Crew Capacity of 12, 3 in the main piloting pod, 1 in the command tower, and 8 in the two hab modules. This allows the freighter to also transport kerbals along with fuel, and even munitions.

I've been experimenting with cannon projectile clips/magazines which can attach to the small ports.

But this tends to start hitting my computer's frame rate limit unless I kill the graphics when I bring the 6-8 clips it can carry.

Take off and orbit is a challenge; this craft is heavy and tried to fall back down, but I managed to scrape it back out of the atmosphere.

Yesterday I played the demo then downloaded the game fairly quickly.

This is my first attempt at, er, something, er X15 esqe. I'm trying to get the little plane bit up into orbit and back again. It's a bit clumsy.
