It's late and stupid to answer that comment, but the B-52D in its "Big Belly" configuration was configured to realize carpet bombing over the Vietnam jungle with 108 Mk-82. 84 (21 racks of 4) in the bay and 24 (3 x 8) on the external pylons. Well, a new post I should as much use it to expose the works which seems impossible to end for me... The Meteor : Only two stages to orbit. Instead of using cost full booster I choose simple and cheap external drop tanks. Surprisingly forgiving during the first seconds and maneuverable. But once it circularized at 120 km only 420 m/s are still available. The Vector being so inefficient in vacuum. And the Hecate ("Doom Chaser") : Absolutely the opposite of the first one it has more than enough of delta-V once in orbit... the problem being to reach the orbit. Or to be more precise the first minutes are terrible. So terrible that it is the first craft in more than a year with whom I can't use MechJeb's Ascent Guidance. Even when starting to pitch down around 40 m/s... Every climbs had to be made manually The second stage is Centaur-like and got more than 1500 m/s available. But still a lot of work is needed before making it a Dream instead of Doom craft. Edited December 3, 2016 by XB-70A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
__Ultimatum Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 15 hours ago, __Ultimatum said: The W.A.T.F Shuttle Mk2 WIP *snip* Yeah, the wing design didn't end up working, the center of lift was pointing at a 45 degree angle downwards when I was finished and it was overly bulky and part heavy, so I started again!. I'm back to the body and a sleek fin design curving around the engine cells, what I need is suggestions as to what sort of wing design would work well with the theme.

Gman_builder Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 (edited) Starting work on the superstructure of this massive 70 meter ship. It's kinda neat too because the turrets are fully stock that have full horizontal and vertical traverse plus guns that fire semi-guided projectiles with a 8 kilometer range. Current part count is around 1400 and climbing. I have to finish the superstructure, add the other 2 guns (400 parts each) and add some detail(railings, small guns, cranes, etc.) @Columbia How many parts does the Titanic have? When will a download go up? I really wanna blow it up(no offense XD) Edited December 4, 2016 by Gman_builder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you release them, during level flight or have you attempted dive bombing? BDA has a "ripple" feature, or "hold down click and however much instance of that weapon is going downrange". GPS guidance saved me on the accuracy bit here. And yes, somehow, this tiny fighter-bomber can carry twice as much as the B-52. (63852.6 kg for Phoenix vs 34500 kg for B-52) Edited December 4, 2016 by wrench-in-the-works stupid formatting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna blow it up(no offense XD) 1. 613 right now, but that's very very likely to increase. I'm yet to add the full astern engines, some rigging, possibly an interior for the bridge, a few deck details at the rear of the ship, and the lookout's nest. 2. Next week probably, though I'm thinking of making a cinematic for it. After all, it was a pretty big project. Might take longer. Can't blame you for wanting to blow it up lol, I have more screens of me blowing it to bits than actually sailing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always make mine out of steel panels because they sink when they lose all the flotation parts. BD usually makes rounds teleport through the hull and blows up interior parts which sometimes results in full ships underwater.

Mad Rocket Scientist Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I've been working on an Atlas V too, after being inspired by @Majorjim!'s. I've been meaning to make a 2.5 meter one ever since we got vectors. My Centaur's way too long though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castille7 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Man O' WarA Kerbal Submarine Update 12.08.16 Started working on some Submarines, the Man O' War will be a Kerbal submarine shown in the Video below, the second is going to be a little more serious craft. Both subs will be released together when complete. Currently I am working on the 8 Torpedo Tubes, the Torpedos are launching.......somewhat and diving the sub is still needing some work. This Video is showing some progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septemberWaves Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 I'm not showing much more than this until tomorrow, but here's an N1 I've been working on. This one is configured for exploring Arkas in a test save (since I needed to test out the delta-v requirements), though I suspect with a different second stage it would be able to facilitate a fully soviet-style Mun mission in the 6.4x scale solar system. I'm going to try that some time soon, but it might not be for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He_162 Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Still working on my rockets, and the He969 especially, finding strange quirks, reducing part count, and fixing all of the aforementioned. I made a video on it, and found out you shouldn't decouple the nosecone (a simple nosecone can destroy a huge 1000+ ton lifter?) too early.

Gman_builder Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 On the bright side i'll be able to now continue building this boat. Its the most boaty boat of all boats. So far initial tests have yielded positive buoyancy and stability results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
