Kerbco spacecraft dump

[jfull]

Just a thread for a bunch of spacecraft I've made, I'll probably keep adding to it.

Just some notes about me and my spacecraft: sometimes I build for looks or unique gimmicks instead of using the most efficient or ideal designs.

Currently, the main mods I use are B9, tri-hexagonal struts, Kethane, KAS, KSPX, and Procedural fairings.

I call my space program Kerbco Transit Services (KTS)

KTS Titan- Mega Mun Lander

One of my first missions under Kerbco, I set the odd objective of building a giant lander/base around the large octo-strut crew tank. As it was meant to be a base, it wasn't built to be return capable. The crew tank could hold 15, but I decided to go with a crew of 10, including the pilot.

Ultimately, I abandoned the Titan when I started a new save.

KTS Aries- Duna Landing and Return

This one was my first big interplanetary mission. 3 Kerbals to Duna Orbit, a 2 man landing, and then a return to Kerban. For an odd gimmick, I decided that the lander was going to need to fit inside one of the B9 payload bays… for protection from… space something.

Bob’s Gilly Floater

On a whim, I decided to throw something together for a visit to Gilly. The main feature would be a small “floater†craft, using RCS to fly around in the ridiculously low gravity. Unfortunately… not everything went as planed.

Kerbco Station and The Mayfly

After the Duna mission, I started taking an interest in building SSTOs using the B9 parts. Probably my favorite design was a compact, single seater I called The Mayfly. With the kinks getting ironed out of my SSTOs, I decided to send up a station for them to dock at.

Then Jeb got some funny ideas…

If anyone wants the craft files for these, let me know!

Currently working on: the KTS Venture, a heavy-hauling ship to bring payloads out to Jool.

Almost forgot this one:

Joolian moon survey satellites

A simple unmanned mission to drop Kethane scanners around Bop, Vall, and Laythe. Basically just a bunch of probes stacked on top of a nuclear booster. By swinging by each moon, I lowered my orbit slightly without having to burn, putting me in a good position to reach the next target.

I think Jool might be a singularity in disguise...

I like the mega mun miner craft =D

I like the mega mun miner craft =D

Thanks, though I didn't have Kethane installed at the time, so I couldn't have used it for mining.

[Jivaii]

Awww, and you don't have it anymore to refit?

[jfull]

Not on my current save, no.

And if I did have a mining outpost on the Mun, I'd probably build it very differently this time

[Jivaii]

=P I'm still trying to piece together an interplanetary ship that Kraken won't eat up. Once I can manage that, it's modular, so I can put it as a station and just send a refinery/labs/construction things to it.

[jfull]

I have my sights set on Vall for a similar mining setup. A habitat, a refinery, and mining vehicles on the surface; with a big fuel depot in orbit.

[Jivaii]

I'm not sure where I'll park mine, mostly because I haven't been able to even get it finished before kraken eats it.

[jfull]

Ike maybe? If there's Kethane there, it might be somewhat useful.

[Jivaii]

I'll probably launch a mass probe ship to scan as much as I can, but Kethane/ore scanners only work while the ship is active which sucks.
