New Ship - Torchship class

[Pogosi]

Hey guys, just finished making a new ship, I like the design, but am having some trouble making a launcher for it (Don't want obvious strut marks).

Nice view from the top.

A more dramatic view.

Anyway, It has 6 Lv-Ns powering it and just over 8000m/s Delta-V (According to mechjeb) weighs in at 140t and has 264 parts.

It has 16 docking ports- 1 sr docking port, 3 Normal and 12 small docking ports. (Bit OTT I know)

It has room for a small fighter in the back, I will give craft file if wanted.

My main problem is a launcher for it, if anyone could give me a link or a craft file for one it would be much appreciated.

Here is the download (Hopefully works) http://www./download/gvl16gp54cto44s/Torchship.craft

Thanks...

wow... amazing. just wow. i want one. i suppose you could just use your docking ports to construct a massive launcher around it.

Build the launcher off of the docking port in the rear, run all the struts from the launcher to the ship. Doing it this way will not leave stubs of the struts on the main ship.

Thanks for the feedback, will add download when I get to my computer.

Very nice! Yes, all your struts should be behind you, so to speak.

That is really nice... I actually wondered what a Torch ship would be like in KSP and the one I took to Duna performed nice.... had to do a very scary aerobraking manoever though at the end lol. That was with 6 LV-N's as well but I added 4 other engines in case I needed extra boost in an emergency. Upped the weight a bit though but they came in very useful when I accidentally got an encounter with Ike which would have totally messed up my orbit.

That is a very cool design. Well done!
