Marin VTOLSSTO and interplanetary ring

[Levelord]

I was working on a light VTOLSSTO and an interplanetary ring to accompany it. I made the interplanetary ring to be constructed in orbit. It has a few modular designs so that different fuel tanks can be added with the 'standardized alignment portsâ„¢'. The Ring's frame also comes with docking clamps to make sure the craft is aligned properly with the frame.

Here's a video of my mission to Laythe. Although I dumped the ring in atmosphere on Kerbin, the ring is actually designed to be reusable. I dumped it in the interest of time when recording the video.

Uploads will come soon. After I sort out a few bugs and get some sleep...

Do what you want with it. The design is free to be used in any way.

Um. Stock? What mod is the cockpit using. I want

It's 100% stock. I'm just using a plugin called RasterPropMonitor. Here's the thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/57603-0-23-RasterPropMonitor-make-your-IVA-a-glass-cockpit-%28v0-14%29-24-Jan

Very cool. Thanks

You never showed in the video what kind of rocket engines your VTOL-SSTO has?

::EDIT:: Nvm, I gave it a download and had a quick look. Nice use of clipping for the Rockomax 48-7S's. Although not my personal favourite (hate the noise they make), they are starting to grow on me.

I hate the sound too, they sound like small fireworks... But after a while you get used to it once you know how powerful they are and how much Dv they give.

The sound isn't the problem,the relatively high volume is.

It remembers me this:

Levelord, go fly one up on the SSI KMP server.

[Hammer Tech]

I love it. Sexiness itself.

[KerbMav]

Love the detail - especially the totally superfluous "docking clamps"!

[inigma]

Levelord, SSI has renamed your larger amphibious VTOL SSTO to the Hyperion. Feel free to copy the name. I love the Marin.
