[Shuttlecraft Systems Inc.] General Catalog - Multiplayer Server Update!

[inigma]

Shuttlecraft Systems Inc.

Anyone familiar with Star Trek will know what a shuttlecraft is. Short, stocky, and functional, they don't look like space planes. They look like personal sporting auxiliary spacecraft. Shuttlecraft are all stock parts, are somewhat diamond or boxed in shape and balance, sleek with small wings (think tail fin sized), and capable of launching from a runway, or VTOL (preferred), and making it into designated orbits and other rendezvous possibilities. Such craft are also capable of leaving space stations or other spacecraft in orbit (once fueled by their orbiting mother craft), and returning to said mother craft or other crafts in orbit without refueling. Since the craft are designated as auxiliary spacecraft, they are attachable to space stations and larger ships via a docking port.

If you are interested in joining Shuttlecraft Systems Inc. or in submitting your independent designs for SSI certification, please visit our company thread in the Spacecraft Builders forum here: Shuttlecraft Systems Inc. (SSI) [NOW HIRING!] Other crafts are viewable in our company thread and are pending certification for publication in our General Catalog.

NEW AS OF NOVEMBER 2014! You can now DOWNLOAD AND TRY OUT ALL CRAFTS AND PROTOTYPES from our MULTIPLAYER SERVER! We have converted the SSI KSP multiplayer server to Dark Multi Player by godarklight which is the banner fork of the old KMP mod by TehGimp. Want to try before you buy? You are welcome to test out any SSI certified craft, or any prototype for that matter in our KSP Dark Multi Player SSI Universe server: ssi.kerbalcentral.com port 6702 - go check it out today! When in the game, from your DMP menu, select the Craft button to access the craft library.

.25 Vessels! SSI engineers are working on submitting .25 compatible versions of the craft in this catalog. Stay tuned for updates! If you are a published SSI engineer, please update your crafts to .25 and upload the crafts to our multiplayer server.

The following KSP version .24.2 vessels have been certified by the SSI Board of Engineers per the SSI Certification Requirements for their Series or Class:

SSI CERTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (from our SSI Company Thread in Rocket Builders)

Certification Process

1. You must submit a link to your craft file.

2. You must submit a control manual indexing all custom craft controls.

3. You must submit a flight profile or sequence of steps to achieve orbit from Kerbin*, as well as any special landing and other instructions as needed.**

4. You must submit an imgur album of your certification flight showing every step of your flight profile, as well as undoctored pics of actual target requirements met for the class. All certification screenshots must show your craft resource levels at all times where applicable. An edited certification video in lieu of an imgur album is also acceptable (and is preferred).

5. You must submit a link to your own Spacecraft Exchange thread in order for your craft to be published in our General Catalog. Feel free to follow the thread title format of the Proton III in my signature below for ideas on how to title your Spacecraft Exchange thread.

6. You must post all required items above in a single post in this main SSI thread along with your desired craft name, and the class you wish to certify for.

*For obvious reasons, MMUs, CMUs, and ESUs are exempt from providing a flight profile.

**ESUs must provide a landing sequence profile.

Current Kinds (In Order of Range):

Manned Maneuvering Units (MMU) - personal command chair units

Cargo Management Units (CMU) (aka workbee/workpod) - station and ship construction and transfer craft

Emergency Support Units (ESU) (aka lifepod/escape pod) - landing airless or vacuum craft or both

Orbital Transfer Vehicles (OTV) (aka shuttlepod) - capable of less than Shuttlecraft certification

Aeroshuttles (AS) (atmospheric landing only) - OTVs that can't land on an airless body

Shuttlecraft - capable of undocking 120km, landing at KSC, and redocking at 120k without refueling

Runabouts - larger than a shuttlecraft in footprint/size

Manned Maneuvering Units (MMU)

Certification Requirements: Any command chair crafts meant for navigating stations and ship exteriors are classified as MMUs.

Name Format Example:

SSI MMU-1

-1 denotes number it was first MMU craft certified by SSI

Cargo Management Units (CMU)

Certification Requirements: Any autonomous or enclosed maneuvering unit containing docking ports for picking up and moving parts and spacecraft around stations. Such craft usually have RCS and a number of docking ports and access to docking port adapters to be able to act as nearby space station tugs.

Name Format Examples:

SSI CMU-4j Workbee Phoenix

SSI CMU-6cs Workpod Phoenix

-Workbee denotes autonomous craft but can also be manned

-Workpod denotes manned craft only

-4 denotes number of ports

-6 denotes number of ports

-j denotes craft contains Docking Port Jr.

-cs denotes craft contains at least one standard Docking Port and at least one Docking Port Senior

-Phoenix is a craft name

Emergency Support Units (ESU)

Certification Requirements: Any landing craft intended to land on various bodies in a one-way trip. All ESUs contain a docking port to dock with rescue ships.

Name Format Example:

SSI Phoenix (ESU-2AV7 Escape Pod)

-Phoenix is a craft name

-2 denotes number of occupants possible

-A denotes atmospheric landing capable

-V denotes airless landing capable

-7 denotes airless landing value as capable of landing on the Mun (see chart below)

Orbital Transfer Vehicles (OTV)

Any craft that meets the shuttlecraft footprint, but is not able to fully certify as a shuttlecraft for any reason, but can still land on the Mun and return to a 10km orbit.

Name Format Example:

SSI Phoenix (OTV-1B Shuttlepod)

-Phoenix is a craft name

-1 is the number of Kerbals it can carry

-B is the highest orbital altitude target range achievable when launched from KSC (see chart below)

Aeroshuttles (AS)

Any craft that meets the shuttlecraft footprint, but is not able to fully certify as a shuttlecraft for any reason, and can not land on an airless body such as Minmus or the Mun.

Name Format Example:

SSI Phoenix (AS-1B Aeroshuttle)

-Phoenix is a craft name

-1 is the number of Kerbals it can carry

-B is the highest orbital altitude target range achievable when launched from KSC (see chart below)

Shuttlecraft:

Any craft whose width is less than five FL-T800 Fuel Tanks wide, and less than two FL-T800 fuel tanks long, and is capable of undocking from a 120k station, landing at KSC, and redocking at 120k all without refuelling. SSI Engineers have final say on accepting a craft's footprint as meeting this class.

Name Format Example:

SSI Phoenix II (Type-3B Shuttlecraft)

-Phoenix is a craft name

-3 number of kerbals it can carry

-B roundtrip distance target range (see chart below)

-II is the second variation of the craft. You may specify any variation designation: (I,1,Mk.1,a,A, etc.)

Runabouts:

Any craft whose width is larger than five FL-T800 Fuel Tanks wide, or longer than two FL-T800 fuel tanks long, and is capable of undocking from a 120k station, landing at KSC, and redocking at 120k all without refuelling. SSI Engineers have final say on accepting a craft's footprint as meeting this class.

Name Format Example:

SSI Phoenix II (Type-3B Runabout)

-Phoenix is a craft name

-3 number of kerbals it can carry

-B roundtrip distance target range (see chart below)

-II is the second variation of the craft. You may specify any variation designation: (I,1,Mk.1,a,A, etc.)

Certified Craft Target Ranges

Escape Pods

Airless Landing dV values for escape pods:

1 - Gil 30

2 - Pol 130

3 - Minmus 180

4 - Bop 220

5 - Ike 390

6 - Dres 430

7 - Mun 580

8 - Eeloo 620

9 - Vall 860

10 - Moho 870

11 - Tylo 2270

Shuttlepods & Aeroshuttles

Orbital altitudes possible from KSC

A - 70km-80km

B - 80km-90km

C - 90km-100km

D - 100km-110km

E - 110km-120km

Shuttlecraft & Runabouts

More than 120k Station Round Trip Range (and One Way Trip Range) from Kerbin Designations:

A - Minmus Roundtrip (Mun)

B - Mun Roundtrip (Ike, Gilly, Duna)

C - Ike Roundtrip (Gilly, Duna)

D - Gilly Roundtrip (Duna, Pol, Dres, Vall, Jool Low Orbit, Eeloo)

E - Duna Roundtrip (Pol, Dres, Vall, Jool Low Orbit, Eeloo)

F - Pol Roundtrip (Dres, Vall, Jool Low Orbit, Eeloo, Tylo, Bop, Moho, Laythe)

G - Dres Roundtrip (Vall, Jool Low Orbit, Eeloo, Tylo, Bop, Moho, Laythe)

H - Vall Roundtrip (Jool Low Orbit, Eeloo, Tylo, Bop, Moho, Laythe)

I - Jool Low Orbit Roundtrip (Eeloo, Tylo, Bop, Moho, Laythe)

J - Eeloo Roundtrip (Tylo, Bop, Moho, Laythe)

K - Tylo Roundtrip (Bop, Moho, Laythe)

M Roundtrip (Moho, Laythe)

N -Moho Roundtrip (Laythe, Eve)

O -Laythe Roundtrip (Eve)

P -Eve Roundtrip (Low Kerbol Orbit)

Q - Low Kerbol Orbit Roundtrip

So a Type-2E shuttlecraft is capable of carrying two Kerbals on a round trip to Duna, but is also theoretically capable of making a one way trip to Pol, Dres, Vall, Jool Low Orbit, or even Eeloo since the delta V requirements are the same or less.

The Cora Class has now been certified by SSI Engineers. Please view the catalog above and check it out. Great job Cruzan!

[Cruzan]

Woot! I'll have to put together another imgur album with current pics of the Cora since those are old and missing the lights, ladders, rcs placement, etc.

[inigma]

Updated OP with correct album for the Cora class shuttlecraft.

[Cruzan]

I created a thread for the Viper class if you want to update the OP with the info. I also made a mediafire link to the craft file with correct name. That is also in that thread

SSI: Viper Class Shuttlecraft -- VTOL SSTO

[inigma]

Updated Op to publish the new Viper Class Shuttlecraft Type I.

[chunkblaster]

cruzan dude I love your new little 2 seater micro SSTO!

[Cruzan]

I'm glad you like it I'm sure SSI will be making many more!

[Lojik]

Love these little SSTO's, great work, will give them all a try and maybe post a few vids if time permits.

[Javster]

I can imagine Jeb rushing to a shuttle because something's gone terribly wrong and someone's crashed something.

[inigma]

The SSI Type I Ion and SSI Type I Ion Heavy are now certified by the Board of Shuttlecraft Systems Inc. Engineers and is now published in our General Catalog. Enjoy! OP updated.

[Javster]

This page always seems to break Chrome...

[inigma]

I added the new Type II SSI Neutron to the General Catalog!

[inigma]

Updated OP to include extended range definition in preparation for the certification and publication of the new Proton series shuttlecraft.

Edited December 27, 2013 by inigma

[inigma]

I added the newly certified Proton class to the OP. Enjoy!

[inigma]

Added the newly certified Newton Class Type-1 Shuttlecraft. I'll update the download link shortly once I modify the craft file name, etc. For now you can download it from the original author by checking out his brochure and support thread.

[inigma]

Updated Op to publish mrmcp1's awesome new crafts: the Newton II and the Horrocks class shuttlecraft.

[inigma]

Updated OP with the addition of the newly certified Midget B1 class Type-1 Shuttlecraft. Also updated the OP with links to our threads, and SSI Certification Requirements.

[inigma]

Added info about SSI Universe's Kerbal Multi Player Server to the OP.

[speedboiae86]

I would like to say that I overall enjoy the designs featured in this thread... However, I seem to be having difficulties getting the Viper featured in this thread to lift off the ground. I engage the VTOL jet engine, max out the throttle, and it just sits there on the runway. Perhaps this can be addressed and something can be done about this by one of your "talented" engineers.

We have now published the all new SSI Jian (Type-1 Shuttlecraft) by Narcosis in this thread's OP. Download it today!

[The14th]

Thanks for updating. I always keep this catalog bookmarked!

They're all great ships, but I wish there were a few more Type-2 and Type-3s. While fun to fly, it doesn't seem that practical to ferry single kerbals around!

[inigma]

Fixed Jian brochure link.
