FTL Car

[A Fat Pokemon]

Well okay, not exactly FTL, but it stems from the 'technology' that I managed to accelerate a strut craft to 500Km/s before leaving Kerbin's SOI without engines. I didn't expect this to happen.

Yep, almost 1200m/s acheived at 40m.

I have no idea how this even works, but my only guess is that the flaps clipped into the struts is providing some weird forces, as I've never seen a flap go that fast on its own..

Edit: Well I've now broken 2200m/s...

could you provide a craft file?

[A Fat Pokemon]

I'll probably make a post some time soon in the spacecraft exchange, along with a few other 'FTL craft,' but if not, I'll just put it here

New FTL craft? It's been far too long!

[automcdonough]

FTL is like a physics exploit to begin with so why not

[A Fat Pokemon]

Yea I'll be uploading them sometime soon once I get some new designs Also broke 2700M/s in a new FTL car.. and it managed to attain orbit afterwards.

Its kinda funny, I made one that when you hold the down arrow key, it accelerates at an insane rate, and when you hold up, it levitates upwards, and bounces every time off the ground. Could be a nice rover..

1200m/s? childs play

Haha, good old infiglide bug- that should be a cheat when the devs fix it.

[GusTurbo]

Does the FTL Egg still work or was that fixed?

[DisarmingBaton5]

Infinigliders! Though just one control surface doesn't seem like enough for that speed...

Welp, we have a new FTL egg on our hands!

[A Fat Pokemon]

The old FTL egg still works haha, and I've managed to also make it controllable.. But its just that the way you have to orientate your ship to go 'prograde' shifts, and you can't exactly tell where. I'll update the original post with the FTL Egg (Don't think I have a download link anywhere since that forum reset), and the new 'thing' in a moment, though it isn't as spectacular as that old hunk of struts.

Kerbtrek, you just unwittingly broke my record for infiniglider speed.

[Comrade Jenkens]

I'm closely studying the ftl egg effect.

Also that car looks damn fun!
