Can you Build my satellite from Stock Only?


Recommended Posts

Okay, I am calling out all of you creative geniuses! I have a challenge. I will provide you 6 photos of my Deep Star One Satellite as it appears in flight with out its mechjeb. I had this as a different challenge, but things will be things and it ended... badly. SO... Here is this challenge!

The rules:

1. Must be 100% stock <joint reenforcement mod doesnt really count, as its not a part set, but, more of a super glue like thing far as I understand>

2. Must be as close as possible to the images provided, in terms of size. Mine: 54 Parts and 5.54 Tons

3. Must Provide similar angle shots to prove your creation is as identical as you can get with 100% stock.

4. Bonus points if you can get this into orbit beyond Jool using again, no mods that add parts.

5. Must participate to be rated :wink:

6. Challenge remains open until March 5th, 2014.

Well.... Since we have had exactly 1 entrant into this little challenge, capi3101 you look to be our winner. That is, unless we have someone to challenge.

I hereby declare that capi3101 is our winner. Not that anyone else sought to take my challenge :(

It might be a good idea to add screenshots of where the center of mass is (side shot might suffice) and perhaps also where its mount points are (pick a part from the list and make screenshot while "holding" it). If the tube is supposed to be a telescope (guessing) then it may not have a mount point at its end opposite to the capsule.

I misread the rules; apologies. It looks like we can all design our own near replicas.

How will this challenge be scored, exactly? Are we just looking for folks that can do it, or will there be some scoring system based on how close to the original specs we can get?

EDIT: Another question - are you sure you've got 54 parts there? I'm looking and I can see 24...

Alrighty - here's my entry:

Side FL-T100 is empty and the one in the main stack is about 60% full. I had the mass of the counterbalance wrong so she was constantly trying to pull to one side, though not significantly enough to throw off the flight. Rather enjoyed it, actually.

Yes its 54, the "tube" is actually several interstage fairings and the shells there in. So far Capi3101 is in the lead! Well done!
