Build a ship in orbit V2


Recommended Posts

I tried to submit this challenge a while back, but I submitted it in such a way that it was hard to understand. I have learned from my mistakes, so I am resubmitting it.

I challenge someone to build a ship in orbit similar in method to the way Star Trek Space Docks operated.

  • No less than 75 parts in the orbital ship (the more the better)
  • No less than 5 part groups
  • You must provide pictures of each individual rocket launching
  • Another picture of the rocket in the VAB
  • A picture of each connection being made
  • A picture of the finished ship in flight.
  • (Optional) A picture of the Ship orbiting each planet/moon you went to. (Crashing into it also works, I just need proof that you were there)

Other info:

  • The Main thing that matters is building the ship by flying parts from Kerbal to orbit and attaching them there.
  • You can build whatever design ship you want, it can be completely original.
  • I recommend using docking clamps for the connections.
  • I will be assigning 0/1/2/3 points as I see fit for the Star Trek ones.
  • The planetary points are a method to test its space worthiness.
  • You can have as many launches as desired, but they must be orbit built every time.
  • By Star Trek style I mean a Saucer/Bridge Area Section with separate Nacelles, see the picture for an example. Defiant like ships can sometimes work too.
  • You can also build craft that resemble the runabout or other shuttles.
  • The challenge is to make it space-worthy.
  • Bonus Points if you make it to another planet.

Mods you can use:

  • Stock Parts
  • MechJeb
  • Kerbal Engineer
  • Engine & Fuel tank packs (within reason)
  • KSPX
  • Pirated Weaponry
  • ISA MapSat.

I am open to mod suggestions.

Point Breakdown:

  • Kerbol 4 points
  • Moho 3 points
  • Eve 2 points
  • Mun/Minimus 1 points
  • Duna 2 points
  • Dres 3 points
  • Jool 4 points
  • Eeloo 5 points
  • Star Trek Style X/3 points
  • Aesthetics X/10
  • Number of parts X/10
  • Complexity X/10
  • Functionality X/10

These are some ideas for Star Trek STYLE ships

Every launch and every rocket? Seriously? :L

Can't we just show how it was built and then finished vessel?

Believe or not - It's stock.

The only thing I had downloaded to help me out is Zenith Rocket Family. Because I'm lazy and bad when it comes to designing rockets.
