Zucal Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 With the recent spate of SpaceX replicas, I figured I might as well jump on the bandwagon... more to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zucal Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I'm having some trouble with the Dragon v2. When I launch it, the white radial intakes tend to jitter and slide all about the craft- has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to stop it?

Yukon0009 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It's something to do with the clipping. Maybe with the other radial intakes you have there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Rocket Scientist Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It's probably the landing gear, because they are some of the only parts with intra-vessel collisions. You could try offsetting them inward and rotating them back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zucal Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well, I had no luck with trying to fix the radial intakes, but thanks Yukon and Mad Rocket Scientist! Here's the new WIP Dragon v2! See if you can figure out how I did it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukon0009 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Wow! That looks fantastic! Dosen't look stock! (The mark of a good builder.)And those are structural fuselages, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The mark of a good builder.)And those are structural fuselages, right?Nope, guess again That looks very nice!What are you going to do for the docking port?Not sure, I may yet revert to the shielded docking port. More functional, less beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It's this!http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Mk1_Fuselage_-_IntakeIt does look better than the structural fuselage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zucal Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 It's this!http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/w...elage_-_IntakeIt does look better than the structural fuselage.In fact, it's an upside-down Mk1 cockpit! However, the intake does look pretty cool... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zucal Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The Dragon's done (barring a redo of the Falcon 9) and now I've moved on to other things... very much a WIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zucal Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Is that a Shenzou or a Soyuz?It's meant to be a Soyuz, but it's hard getting the spherical shape of the orbital module down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see what the front was inspired by I'll have to try another Ranger-style ship at some point...Anyway, I've made a new torus, but this one's different to the others I've built so far:Yep, a big hydroponics ring (I use big relatively speaking; it's a bit wider than my Midi-Torus). The greenhouses are from Lack Luster Labs. Oddly, they didn't align properly at the ends, which I'm guessing is down to a fault in the model, but some slight offset tweaks fixed it.

Rune Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) As I think I said before, I'm neck deep in the flight testing of this (intentionally dark pic):Yup, I've gone back to a classic, and this time we go back to the basic spirit of the line: pure rocketry, to improve performance on airless worlds, and part count while we are at it (85!). All in preparation for the upcoming Duna window (~2.5km/s fully loaded on low-isp/high-thrust VTOL engines, more than enough for Duna shuttling) in my save. On the other plus side, launching is faster and simpler this way, and cost is pretty much the same, those RAPIERs and intakes sure are expensive, even though you no longer have easy 100% recovery. Still, it might merit a release just for saving 60 parts over the airbreathing version, never mind the improved looks of rebuilding it from the ground up with gizmos.Rune. And Jim will be happy to know, the bay doors no longer clip anything. Edited April 7, 2015 by Rune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
