Exothermos Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is the thing I'm going to be using for my Jool-5 attempt.That's utterly massive, AND super cool looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Just sharing an early concept of a 100% stock very tiny and light mechanism for switching VTOL to Jet mode (45° rotation);Only downside is engine will flameout while performing the switch, but it's done quickly so no big deal.Rep me if you like this!!Download This is a proper circle in KSP language xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majorjim! Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Hi all, Some may remember my SPR rovers from my Duna constellation mission.Well after the loss of the thin white ailerons I had to rebuild this great little rover. In doing so I decided to make them part of another big Duna mission but make them a little bit smaller.The original SPR rover I made seated three, two in the cabin and one rear facing outer seat.The new one seats two, one inside one outside as the mission calls for four crew.These rovers can dock to a surface base or even better, dock to each other so you can drive two separate vehicles to one location then split up covering more ground. My proposed mission is in the very early stages so don't expect that for a while.Anyway, here are some pics:MJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) (: The tool can be great but it's just inert and mindless, some players are tools themselves, some master the tool to create.. ;P Edited January 16, 2015 by RevanCorana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astropapi1 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 ~lots of awesome stuff~Lovely! These kinds of small builds always take a lot of time for tinkering with little things, and I can definitely see you spent a lot of time making it look so good. I also like the way you dock them side-by-side instead of... *whispers* rear-to-rear. Were you inspired by the Space Exploration Vehicle?

Frozen_Heart Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 My engineers are taking orbital assembly a bit too literally and are trying to launch the VAB into space...Bit of tuning still needed. The engines overheat and explode and the second stage won't separate. 5800 tons on the launch pad!Also how do I make a nosecone for this?

The first one I made for the constellation mission was my attempt at that mars rover! I love making small detailed craft! They are so much fun!edit, lol so many exclamation marks..

For a nosecone, you're going to need to use a lot of triangular wing segments.Also...Jetpack suit!

TheBarnetts Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well, this works in that it does what I want. I got tired of doing gravity turns and thought 'Why not just shoot straight through the atmosphere and burn to orbit only in space? Why turn at all?' It requires virtually no piloting; just fire the engine at apoapsis (which is consistent every time). Uses cheapy boosters and all parts are recoverable. Anyway, it looks like crap because I threw it together from sub assemblies, etc. Still thinking over the aesthetics to make it look more realistic. I present: The Falcon Punch.Javascript is disabled.

GusTurbo Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 OMG thats amazing! loool!So the suit is an attempt to fix two problems with jet packs I've seen, which is that they look too big and require a seated Kerbal. My solution is to make it look like a full body exoskeleton. I'm liking it so far, but the legs could be shorter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majorjim! Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 http://i.imgur.com/FXOGwj6.pnglol that's really cool man! Those longitudinal ailerons will cause some strange sideways lift forces though.. That's why I remade my Short SC-1 body using cubics and backwards panels.
