Useful/Cool Subassemblies

[Highlad]

So, With the new 0.22 Update, we are able to have stock Subassemblies. My question is, what cool things have you got in your subassembly folder?

Post your awesome or useful (or a bit of both) Subassemblies here!

If you want to share your launchers, I suggest visiting this thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/54880-Share-your-launchers-MEGATHREAD as it is more launcher focused

I don't really have other subs' other than launchers. The original post here was retracted when someone later on suggested I repost my launchers on the Megathread.

You might want to look at a recent thread:

For lifter subassemblies with 179 ton payload capacity, see my Tangent Rockets.

There already is a thread like this: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/54880-Share-your-launchers-MEGATHREAD

[Highlad]

That thread looks more like a Launcher focused thread. Its not just launchers that you can put in your sub-assembly folder. None the less I can see your point, I shall edit the root post accordingly

That's for launchers, this is for subassemblies.

[Highlad]

Here are are a few examples of other types of subassemblies:

Resource Module:

Fuel Module:

Note: the cockpit is just there as something to attach the module to.

Small Skycrane:

Note: the small drone on the bottom is just something to attach the skycrane to.

Science Module:

And here are the craft files:

Please give us those crafts!

I regularily use a small unmanned tug "Tuggy" for working on spacestations based on RCS engines.

And the cool part is, that it is stackable, because it has on both ends large docking ports.

Here's the four non-launcher Subassemblies I have so far:

The T30 and T45 engine assemblies are just pretty ways of putting an engine and 400 kvu of fuel on the bottom of a rocket. They form a part of most of my launcher subassemblies (subassemblyception?).

The basic rover is something I cooked up in the SPH to use as part of a Mun lander. The subassembly system is quite handy for that sort of thing.

The transfer stage is something I ended up using commonly for transmunar travel, like interplanetary probes and manned Mun/Minmus missions. I was rebuilding it so much I decided to make it into a subassembly. You can see in the image how I balanced the 88-88 with a solar panel as they're the same mass.

Really liking these

You know, that post inspired me to build my own sort of tug complete with a shortening rocket that stays together via Docking Ports and I can shove it back in when I have done and refuel it.

Like my basic engine module

Like my basic engine module

That's actually pretty cool. I've built tugs before but this modular design is a nice alternative to my usual design. I might give something like this a go.

Thanks... more details + craft file is here

Don't see much sense in this thread, al of these thing can be made in like 30 seconds..

stop slating it just because this is more popular that the thread you started

Yeah, subassemblies are dumb. Have you made a mod to remove the tab completely? You probably should if subassemblies are so senseless.

[iDan122]

The Subassemblies here are 30 seconds work, launchers require hours of work sometimes. 5 parts stocked together isn't very creative for a useful subassembly. It is much faster and easier to open ksp and make it than download it and copy it to your folder...

[MoreasGamin]

Here you have some of my weapons pods. There's a pod with 3 small spin-stabilised missiles, a pod with a light bomb and another one with a medium bomb (all of them with the separation/launch systems).

Download

*Note: You'll have to set up the staging and action groups*

By the way, for those who say subassemblies are 30 seconds work, these took me quite a time to get done right.

I see jeb is grinning with delight at the prospect of blowing stuff up on purpose

[Barefoot Friar]

My only gripe with the subassembly thing is that it won't let me save anything with a command pod or probe core. So no satellites. I keep a couple or three launchers in mine, along with various and sundry other things, depending on whatever project I'm working on at the time. Since most of what I develop has a core to it, I can't really save them, so I have to do it ".21 style".

From the first page of comments on this thread you've been dissing it, and it really does annoy me. He has the right to have a subassembly thread without someone coming and sayings its worthless. No one has come onto your Launcher thread and called IT useless, have they? No. So show some respect will you. Whether it took 30 seconds or 3 hours, if they feel its worth sharing, they have the right to share it without someone telling them its useless, regardless of how long it took to make. Geesh.
