Castille7 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Here's an SSTO I've been working on and tested recently. I just made an Orbit of 104 m and returned to KSC. I am using only the R.A.P.I.E.R.'s at takeoff and switching over to the Atomic Motors to complete Orbit. Making Re-entry with very little fuel and handling fairly well during landing. The wide body of Nova7 is allowing really nice Aerobraking. Nova7 Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapteenipirk Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Just came here to tell you that tomorrow i will be putting up a very special combo project of sorts. And here's a little sneak peek of the KSP part of the project. Try to guess what its going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Munbro Kerman Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Figured I could end my long absence with an update on some craft I left to collect dust a while ago. Those craft are the Saturn V and Space Shuttle. Getting straight to the changes, I tried to improve the way the Saturn V looked with the stripes by reducing the width of the black stripes, and "painting" the half of the engine fairings on the S-IC booster shown here: I also attempted to reduce the amount of parts the interstage. New part count is 1,212 (increased due to the addition of fuel cells). The Space Shuttle, on the other hand, received minor changes. The SRBs and External Tank were changed slightly. The ET is more accurate in looks as well as the boosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
He_162 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Work in progress on the Corvette I released this weekend. (Top is new remodel, bottom is old model) I'll be using some tips from @Azimech to improve the handling characteristics, and propulsion methodology.

I too think that it looks better than any old nosecone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried camera tools, but i couldn't find any tutorials and i couldn't get it to work by myself. KerbCam has a simpler interface and a bunch of videos showing you how to use it.

Azimech Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Colonization vehicle for the glorious effort to populate Laythe! It's a very good truck and boat, with mining facility. It can also fly but is not very good at it. Can also be used on Kerbin. Maximum range in the water can be obtained with throttle at 33%. Landing on Laythe is easy, I just de-orbit and let it tumble, it won't overheat and easily slows down to subsonic. Touch down should be done on solid ground using parachutes, otherwise some nosecones might break. Now I only need to build a launch vehicle for it.

Azimech Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 De-orbit & landing test for a very-early prototype floating Laythe city. Might change the design a lot. Also will test my skills in building a proper launch vehicle and delivery system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selfish_meme Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Speaking of launch vehicles, 1.3.1 had the added bonus of finally making this work Until you went to stage it But by adding copius radiators That's 440 parts, time to add some details!

Ah, the radiators are to prevent the crawler from melting, got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapteenipirk Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Currently working on something a little different. It's a custom railway gun that i call "Goliath". I wanted to test that the thing can actually stay together, and that the gun can elevate before i start working on the firing mechanism, or the reload mechanism. There is a chance that this may not work at all, but in case it does, it should be pretty powerful, as it will fire 1000mm rocket propelled HE-shells. Currently there are quite a lot of issues on the carriage that need fixing, it wants to sag from the middle to the point it touches the ground, the suspension in the wheels is so loose that the thing falls over without support legs and i can't really make the suspension any tighter because it will start to spazz around and 70% of the wheels will pop. But, at-least the barrel is fine and doesn't turn into a banana like i originally feared. This idea is also inspired by a little experiment i did a while ago. I wanted to experiment with the idea of creating a super realistic AT-gun/Howitzer that fires custom built shells. It includes semi realistic gun recoil, gun elevation, and a working breech block type breech mechanism that are all IR operated. It also includes a custom HE-grenade that leaves an empty shell behind. Unfortunetly it's a bit unreliable, and needs some fixing. Also, it's a bit impossible to reload this thing without using some rediculous looking magazine on 4 legs that has a piston that hopefully pushes the shell all the way inside the barrel. I will probably go back at some point and try to fix these problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
