Rocklion Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I'm glad to show you my latest creation (a.k.a. the-rocket-that-didn't-explose-on-liftoff), the Gladium VI!It's a 3 stage rocket, born to be lightweight and to bring Bob, Jeb and Bill in a stable orbit. It uses modded parts (E-600 engines and KSP srb) because they're fucking awesome .The initial launch is fantastic. Pretty stable and the KSP boosters give enough thrust to the rocket (first stage final speed is about 200m/s)At about 7000m staging happens and I continue with the last two stages. The second last engine speeds up the rocket to the necessary orbital velocity.As you can see I have enough fuel to come back, even too much. (Really the lander isn't necessary, but I love to orbit with two stage and leave one in the space lol)After some orbiting I staged, speeding down to de-orbit.And here it is, my last but useless stage (not counted cause it really does nothing) that I love so much. It's just a little solid rocket booster (Sunday Punch mod) that spins the capsule in a kerbasome wayThe srb has another function: it scares even Jebediah while exploding under the capsule! Without killing them of course, just shouting the module few meters away.In this mission however my glorious kerbanauts died due to the terrain bug, R.I.P. guys ;_;The next achievement is to do liftoff-orbiting-deorbit-landing-liftoff again - re orbiting-deorbit and landing at KSP.Thank you for reading this 'another-rocket-topic' written in this freakin' ugly english.Happy exploring!

Cynabal Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I'd like to download this, as I'm terrible at making rockets. However, it seems you don't have an attachment with your .craft file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocklion Posted July 17, 2011 Author Share Posted July 17, 2011 Oh, I'm sorry i forgot to upload it.Here it is! However you need to download Sunday Punch mod and Excelsior engines.Good day sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matuchkin Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 (From the far future, in 1.0.5) Just went into this end of the spacecraft exchange, nostalgic as crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbadevlin Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 The necro is strong.... VERY STRONG. Dude, feel free to look at these threads, but really try not to comment too many of them. It brings it all up on the list for us to see, and clutters the actually relevant threads :) I did play quite this long ago, but yea... Pretty retro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technicalfool Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think this long-dead thread can be put to rest. With extreme prejudice.
