Anyway, I was browsing the forum and saw this (http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/71723-suggestion-for-someone-s-next-project) thread. I thought, why not? and decided to give it a go. However the result was so good, I couldn't just leave it in a tiny obscure idea thread, so it got this one.

I should mention that this design was based mainly on being able to actually work more than getting every detail to look right. Also I apologise for the upside down screenshots. I don't know why it decided to make them upside down but go figure.

Without further ado, here you go:

Alright, so one last thing. I don't know how to link an Imgur album. I tried embed, but nothing came up. So I'll link a few images and the link to the album.

If someone could post the method for doing so, that would be great.

The first version. This one may not be the one I've linked, but it's the best shot of it I managed to get.

Again, sorry for the whole upside down thing. Some of the screenshots were fine, but these were not. Odd.

This is the 2nd Revision version and the one linked. It's a little different, in that it actually works.

Taking off. This thing was a pain to fly. I should also metion it's flying with Hack Gravity turned on. No, it won't fly otherwise. The one from the show shouldn't fly either, so I think this is ok.

Firing the deck guns...

You didn't think I was going to leave something like this out did you?

For those who'd like to fly it:https://www.dropbox.com/s/f0rqwhgj73e8khg/SPACE%20BATTLESHIP%20YAMOTO%20No%20Wave%20Gun.craft

Sorry, but as the link says, this one has no Wave gun. Why? Because the wave gun is a config edited Sunbeam. I can't distribute that, because of the license on the Lazor mod.

Oh yeah, you'll need the Lazor mod and the Sunbeam mod to make it work.

We're off to Outer Space!

We're Leaving Mother Kearth!

To Save the Kerbin Race!

OUR STAR BUNGLERS!

Headed off to who knows where

Bill and Bob are really scared

Cause Jeb is in the drivers seat

Who knows what dangers they'll meet!

they must be strong and brave,

their home they've got to save,

if they don't, in just one year,

Mother Kearth will dissapear!

Fighting with the Kraken-lons,

they wont stop until they've won.

and then they'll return, and when they arrive,

the Kearth will survive with

OUR STAR BUNGLERS!

Status Report on Yamoto's Attack:

The Yamoto had just finished it's upgrades, being fitted with Anti Kraken Missiles (x2) and more RCS ports to help manouver:

Through the Hyperedit Jump Gate Network, we arrived at Bop.

It looks like they knew we were coming however. We suspect the damage on our landing was caused by some sort of stealth Kraken.

Though badly damaged, we first unleashed the main guns on the Kraken. However we were at the wrong firing angle and our shots were ineffective. Also our visibility was down due to the mission taking place at night.

Still stuck on our side, we unleashed one of the missiles:

We thought we'd got it...but we hadn't. We managed to get the ship turned to face it, and unleased all the guns...alas, to no effect.

Our only option was the wave gun

Nothing seemed to faze it. Our last chance was to ram it into oblivion. Our ship was smashed into the ground with it's Psychic blast, and missed it.

We were unable to do a thing to this monster...Could it even be killed?...

Our only consolation is that we did hit it. It seems unlikely to ever recover...but for now the Kraken menace will continue to destroy our space going vessels.

One day your time will come Krakens...One day....
