Powered by a single hidden Wheelsey, can reach about 260 ms on a sea level straight, pretty stable & glides really nicely. Not massively responsive but more than adequate, and pretty forgiving to fly. Need to grab a class A asteroid and build it round that :-) @Kryten 2X4B 523P This craft looks nice, good build!

pTrevTrevs Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I still need to finish the Gato, but I keep procrastinating with other stupid projects that I probably won't finish, like this wrecking ball. I'm going to tear down this fuel tank and build a new hotel in its place. Spoiler Wrecking BallTM not guaranteed to work more than once. Also not guaranteed to actually swing the ball. This demolition job was actually done by driving the entire vehicle into the fuel tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSpaceManiac Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Going to launch this sign to Ike: (along with a lander with a tricked-out rover) Should I change the colors of the Illuminators?

I am procrastinating on the solar truss though :-( funny how it really feels like a horrible thing to do, couldn't they just thrown in some nuclear things on a string to sort out the power supply for the ISS??

selfish_meme Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Checking out some quick KerbPaint stuff, looking good, with the fairing texture switcher this might make a nice shot, the SRB's look a little dinky though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdoni Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi Kerbonauts! My Soyuz D Launch vehicle. The core stage is by the separation of the boosters destroyed as you can see but the final stage has far enough deltaV to go to a SpaceStation or so. It will be much improved to be continued!

Azimech Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I've updated WW2 Warships to 0.5 and therefore I'm rebuilding some designs. BB: roughly the same size as the Montana class (295m), 55kton, 6 large boilers, 4 large turbines, total 50MN thrust, flank speed 27kn (14.1m/s). CVA: with the same hull, 45kton, flank speed 31kn (16m/s). CA: 16kton, 6 medium boilers, 4 medium turbines, total 20MN thrust, flank speed 33kn (17m/s).

You absolutely meet the wow factor here once again. I will try that Carrier soon with a few of my Aircraft and thank for your hard work I am sure many of us will enjoy this.

SaturnianBlue Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I've successfully updated to WW2 Warships 0.5, and the Bismarck's 1st Deck is finished, and all for turrets have been installed. The ship still reaches a good 16.5 M/s, but I need to figure out how to STOP breaking the bow is spectacular fashion. The Scatterer shaders weren't working as planned, unfortunately. At 363 parts now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PointySideUp Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) I've been slowly working on another science cruiser with a large interior made possible by the SKAT drive by @Jolly_Roger. I'm calling this one the Gator for obvious but initially unintentional reasons. Interior spaces and awesome airlocks inspired by @ShadowZone Edited March 15, 2016 by PointySideUp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castille7 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) @PointySideUp As I've said in the past, from the runway to any planet is a great accomplishment. I love the engine room and this craft surely needed all that thrust, you're packing some weight on this craft.

PointySideUp Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Building (and test flights) with the SKAT is an arduous but rewarding process. It is capable of immense power, but also some instability. This one flies pretty good now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the engine room and this craft surely needed all that thrust, you're packing some weight on this craft. Speaking of runways and planets... drop tests successful! I only need to hit the ground going <4m/s, and it doesn't even explode if you bounce a bit. I'd imagine the >1.5 TWR fully laden and a suitable bump in terrain should be enough for takeoff when airless... Very proud of how I packed everything in the bay, no moving part clips anything when doing its thing, the kerbal can walk off and on the ramp, and best of all? I got the thrust torque to be under 1kN, so that incredibly powerful vernor-based RCS system is just to make it dance if needs be. Rune. Still, no freaking way I test its intended mission fully with LS installed and my career going... any volunteer test pilots out there?

We really shouldn't have allowed Bob to put his hands on this incredible Beast!.....He's already pulling this craft apart saying there was too much weight in the forward section of the craft causing it to become unstable at high speeds..... @Rune is it ok if he relocates the cargo bay in the rear of the craft?

Azimech Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I hope my little aircraft carrier can handle SaturnianBlue's Bismarck. Not in a direct confrontation of course. It was sank today by my heavy cruiser. For anyone interested in building docks ... without admin building, mast and generator it's a whopping 11 parts. Yes, I know. Makes your CPU melt and all. Size of this construction: 1140 x 1140 meter. No welding. Mass: 11.6 million tons ... and still floats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not sure what it would do with the physics. Without water current or wind they stay where they are anyway :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
