Team Build Project

[WindWolf]

Hi fellow launchers,

Not sure if this is the right section for this but:

Would anybody be interested in doing a Team Build?

Player 1) Lunar Lander

Player 2) Lunar -> Kerbin Section.

Player 3) Kerbin -> Lunar Section.

Player 4) Launch to Orbit Section.

etc. etc.

Ship is designed from the top down with each creator passing on their ship file to the next once they are satisfied. Then all players get a copy of the final ship to try out?

Any other cool ideas?

Pete aka WindWolf.

Hint: Dont let me try, I will just attach a Firelark booster to it and make the whole project unstable.

[OptimusSubPrime]

to everyone that is building it, no matter how many you add, it will still need more boosters.

[Tim_Barrett]

Whoa, cool project! Pretty realistic building environment; it\'s rare to have everything come from one place.

[NovaSilisko]

I\'ll build the lander!

Is it ok if I use Silisko Edition and Probodobodyne to build it?

[Tim_Barrett]

Can I be the middle man player three please?

I think I scared people away with my lander.

I think I scared people away with my lander.

the lander is a really tough construction. built a similar one with the KW pack but one question:

is there a real benefit from placing the rcs away from the lander? i know there should be but does the game have this feature?

[superscout]

I\'d be willing to do the launch vehicle.

Are there any part packs I shouldn\'t use?

[WindWolf]

Guys - WOW!

I posted this before I flew to Poland to spend Christmas with my gf and come back to find that you guys are awesome as usual

The lander looks awesome. Who says there just has to be one project? I would like to see other groups making team builds - would be cool to see. So we have the lander and someone to build the launch system is that right?

Nova - can the lander get back from the Mun also?

Pete.

[WindWolf]

Also - I have Fraps and will make a video for YouTube when this is done - hopefully a successful mission

[Saaur]

That lander looks return-capable, so the next stage would be the TMI stage, yes? Easy peasy; I\'ll take it.

Plenty of fuel to push the craft out to Munar distance and decelerate into Munar orbit. As a bonus, the central fuel tank will also act as an orbital communications relay once the lander detaches for descent.

[WindWolf]

Sounds like a plan. My own ability to get to and from the mun leaves a lot to be desired so I am actually going to opt out of building one of the stages - however I am super excited to see how this build turns out If anyone wants to jump in feel free

[Saaur]

Wow. Take the bottom decoupler off that thing and it\'ll actually take off! It\'s unwieldy as hell, but it flies.

Now if only someone would design a couple stages to boost this baby into Kerbin orbit, we can test the munar lander.

[Huojin]

I\'d help out. What mod packs do we need?

EDIT: And the stage would only be to launch it into orbit, right?

[Saaur]

Nova and I have used Silisko Edition and Probodobodyne thus far.

If you can\'t launch this sucker into orbit with one stage (I\'m not sure I can), just build the orbit-assist stage and leave the launch stage to someone else.

[RedDwarfIV]

This works very well as a launch to orbit stage. I could probably make it bigger, with stronger engines, and it would be able to carry rather more than it does. Its incredibly stable, if hard to maneuver.

[RedDwarfIV]

Sunbird II launch ascent stage.

Ok, this is proof that I got it out of the atmosphere, and moving quite fast in the right direction.

[Nooblet68]

Impressive.

[Saaur]

But can you build the same thing under the TMI stage I posted with Nova\'s lander on top?

[RedDwarfIV]

But can you build the same thing under the TMI stage I posted with Nova\'s lander on top?

As it turns out, it is rather less stable in orbit than the Sunbird\'s launch/orbit stage. However, for a launch/space vehicle, it works a treat.

[Saaur]

Well then post it so we can all give it a go.

[JellyCubes]

Good luck flying this thing. It has a tendency to fall apart on the launch pad and shake itself apart when airborne.

[Itchono]

Now What\'s the orbit stage gonna be?
