GusTurbo Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 I haven't been posting much recently but I've still been playing KSP! Here's some stuff I made.Ariane 5 - I made an old one almost a year ago that wasn't very good. I've updated it with better boosters, new engine, new ATV, interstage, and a better noseconehttp://i.imgur.com/F9jYeVi.png?1http://i.imgur.com/C20la4c.png?160 metric ton Lifter - Note: full credit to Kurotenshi for the fairings and inspiration for the ullage motors comes from GusTurbo's Saturbo V. I suck at making them so I just stole borrowed his. This one takes inspiration from the Proton rocket in its first stage setup, but lifts much more payload and only uses four engines instead of sixhttp://i.imgur.com/lG0GvRl.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/JrL8B74.pngEdit: so yeah, I accidentally overwrite the 60t lifter... quite angry about that. Will have to rebuild now, shouldn't be to bad but it's still frustrating.This is a really great looking lifter! Glad to see you got some use out of my ullage/vernor clusters, which look like a nice addition to your craft. Sad that you lost the craft though, I've had that happen before and it's frustrating.

Mesklin Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Mig-25 replica, but now it is science SSTO with 5 km/s on LKO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFjord Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 And another work in progress heavy SSTO...I am beginning to like putting cargobays sideways - and attempting wo build some plane around it. This time in a different way as here.Only the middle column of tanks actually has fuel, it needs a lot more tweaking - but it got 2 full orange tanks to orbit. And that with 100 tons less plane as previously, so I am getting there. "only" 2 radial intakes per jet.It could barely reach orbit and it ran out of fuel. So I enabled infinite fuel cheat to attempt a landing. Well, see for yourself, I need practice with that Javascript is disabled.

Woopert Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is a really great looking lifter! Glad to see you got some use out of my ullage/vernor clusters, which look like a nice addition to your craft. Sad that you lost the craft though, I've had that happen before and it's frustrating.Thanks Gus, means a lot from a builder like you. Also, thanks to you and Rune for the rep, that was very kind.I already rebuilt it, no worries. Wasn't too bat, the design itself is actually quite simple and only took five minutes to rebuild. The hardest part was finding out how to approach making the lifter. Building heavy lifters is pretty easy, but I find it difficult to meet my criteria, which is to make a smooth, easy on the eyes craft and one that looks reasonably realistic, too. I plan to build a rocket family, probably from about 5 to 200 metric tons. Those heavier ones are going to be challenging so I hope to make it work. Also, the fairings in 1.0 will be really nice to have for lifters, and that applies to every builder out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflcopterkklol Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The Nebuchadnezzar from the Matrix? Sweet.I think ima have to make it smaller, already 300 parts with no shell on it. i mean im trying to keep part counts low and im failing. cool things always seem to be a thousand parts.

RocketPilot573 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) An SSTO I'm working on. Only needs a few minor tweaks!Javascript is disabled. View full albumThe cost for each flight is 6,000 funds (fuel), not including the cost of the payload. If flown to orbit properly it should have enough fuel to land on laythe and return (though I'm not 100% sure yet).

sgt_flyer Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) WIP - 1201 parts of soviet engineering (the rocket itself is 678 parts the rest is the launch pad)it uses the same R-7 booster as the sputnik rocket i released here :http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/109961-0-90-Sputnik-8K71PSthough - obviously, i added an upperstage + a vostok as a payload (not counting the retractable elevator platform )and yes - the ejector seat does work (hatch ejection + seat ejection at the same time) (even while the rocket's engines are still firing ) Edited February 21, 2015 by sgt_flyer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majorjim! Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Hey thanks for that Was trying to make them SSTO but it hasn't really worked out that way.Dude, swap out the nukes for turbojets and then add some of the tiny rocket motors and it may have a chance of SSTOing. They are definitely worth the effort as these are really lovely craft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartwo Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Preparations of the Avalon for 1.0 turned into a complete rebuild.(Image from 3 months ago)Smaller, lighter, faster. It has slightly more storage space, less parts, and a higher fuel capacity compared to its predecessor at no cost to any other feature.
