I made an Engine :D

[Spoot Knight]

These look outstanding, I love the engine detail.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

that is the thing. Falcon 9 has none of these construction qualities. it is all seamless and very strong and lacks any unneeded weight add ons.

Friction Stir Welding leaves no seams and once polished there is no sign that it was welded.

if someone wants to find out a good base texture and specular level to look like this i would love you

RCS module

Bye byye first stage!

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

Normally it cannot make it to the moon as it burns up most fuel on 2nd stage but here it was hauling no weight so it was fine.

[Spoot Knight]

Wow. Looking at the video this thing is gargantuan for a Kerbal.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

Wow. Looking at the video this thing is gargantuan for a Kerbal.

Indeed.

once I figure out side mouting stuff this will be quite alot more gargantuan.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

@_@ unfortunately it is prone to SBSS (Side booster Spin Syndrome) On the plus side the second stage can do a powered landing sort of. doesn\'t matter though. with proper weight on top of it it will only get a few thousand before you eject them anyway lol.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

Welp I think i have all the pieces fleshed out. Nose cones make a huge difference. I want to change some things on the bottom adapter piece so we will see what I can do 360 weight of fuel and it still flys lol. I am a fan of my booster couplers.

Just a question - why don\'t you make it 1m based? That should be quite easy now that you have all the parts, and it fits way better with '3 man apollo type capsule' that is the 1m stock part, not to mention all other mod packs created. If you fit a Mei Long capsule on that, it\'d be a complete simulation.

[Tiberion]

Whoa.

Yeah wow.. that\'s big. Frightening amount of control authority to steer that badboy.

[SmiteZero]

What the...

I left at page 1. I come back now and you\'re building Spaceball 1?

e: Make these 1m-sized. I want that fairing.

why? It is not made for launching capsules to orbit. it is made to launch big things to orbit like stations and such. =P Plus there is already a 1meter Falcon 9 looking thing. and this one is closer to the size of the real deal.

He means the Falcon 9 in real life.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

You all like my rocket and not my massive rocket?

[thorfinn]

Wonderful, really. Payload to LKO/GEO/TMI?

When malfunctions will be added to the game, engine out cases will be a breeze on this thing

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

for those that want a 1 meter I could see making the Falcon 1 parts. :-\

and now that it is done I redid the adapter for the engines to make it hold more of the characteristics of the real Falcon9. (not textures just poly painted)

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

haha maybe... it is pretty.... exacting to not be OP. if an engine goes out it might not get to space lol.

[SmiteZero]

It\'s not how big it is... So they say...

For me 1m parts are just more comfortable to use.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

eh. make your own then

[SmiteZero]

eh. make your own then

Don\'t add to the temptation. You\'ll not be doing yourself any justice. =P

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

I never said you couldn\'t. >

but if you are going to complain. seriously. make your own.

PS. renders mean nothing to me. show me grid lines and less mechanical.

[SmiteZero]

but if you are going to complain. seriously. make your own.

Wait, man. I wasn\'t complaining. You seemed surprised/dismayed people want it smaller. I was offering one reason why this might be so. It\'s awesome. It\'s also big. That is all.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

lol ah. i see. my apologies. but spaceball1 is an ugly thing.

[SmiteZero]

lol ah. i see. my apologies. but spaceball1 is an ugly thing.

It\'s also big. Too big to walk or the movie will be over.

I\'m glad you understand what I meant.

[CardBoardBoxProcessor]

is there a way to get my own sound put in for the engine?
