Columbia Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 My N1 worked perfectly for 3000 meters, then 5 engines shut down, the craft spontaneously exploded, and my game crashed.It was supposed to be a replica, but not that accurate!Dang, that gave me a giggle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflcopterkklol Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Finally up to SSTO's in my 1.0.2 career, my first SSTO for the career, you cant overload the cargo bay so it all works out well, uses 8 turbo jets and 4 LV-T45's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lazarus Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 still work in progress, but i got inspired. i really don't know if i need such a heavy lifter. my biggest single paylaod to orbit was "just" 40 tons ... yet...240 tons or 3 fully loaded Kerbodyne S3-14400 Tanks to LKOUR-700 inspired rocket: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR_Dev Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Had access to a computer over the weekend so I figured I'd try to upgrade my f-22 to 1.02The flaps/wings need some work still but the fuselage is much better.I don't know how I feel about the new aero physics. This thing turns on a dime, 15+ g's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woopert Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 The Vulcan is a Soviet/Russian rocket.I think Mad Rocket Scientist was getting Vulcan (ULA rocket) mixed up with Vulkan (Soviet-Russian rocket). The spelling is different.Edit: ninja'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giggleplex777 Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Someone enlighten me what is the purpose of assymetrically placed booster?Two boosters are too much and more expensive for the job, so they just use one. Also, none of the Atlas V booster configurations are symmetrical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you know, Cyrillic and all that. So the guy actually had kind of a point, which I suspect he didn't know himself.Rune. But we have all learned better now!

Roflcopterkklol Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) Something about this looks wrong when you first look lol, the amazing thing is it lifts off the runway at 130m/s, gotta love clipping parts, 11.7k LF and 9.6k oxidizer, 5 rapiers 10 turbo jets 2 nukes.i dont think ill release it though, nearly 400 parts not many people would want it Edited May 12, 2015 by Roflcopterkklol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflcopterkklol Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 (edited) New engine, basically 2 turbo jets a rapier and an aero spike clipped into one, idk what to call it. Edited May 12, 2015 by Roflcopterkklol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflcopterkklol Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Decided to start work on my first mk3 SSTO for this version, its structurally sound, now to make it fly. the struts run down the entire craft like this, makes it about 10 times as rigid Note where its being held up and not breaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roflcopterkklol Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Finally have it burning fuel evenly, up to 220 parts with the engines all on there, has 12 of my "epic engines" (i decided to name them something simple) in other words 24 turbo jets, 12 rapiers and 12 aero spikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roflcopterkklol Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 About to start flight testing, hopefully all goes well and its all connected right, fairly happy with the part count, less than 1 part per ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
