â™ the alpaca one â™Â

[caba111]

I got up one Saturday morning, and said to myself, "wow, it would be fun to build a big ship."

And so, here I am today.

The Alpaca One is currently divided into four sections...

The science laboratories and probe bay (or A1 sec. 1)

clocking in at a rather excessive 253 parts (yes, I DO need 8 probes... Obviously)

The lander docks (equipt with 6 capable low-grav landers)

clocking in at a ridiculous 340 parts

The fuel section (launched mostly empty)

clocking in at a reasonable 160 parts

and finally

The engine section

at only 46 parts!

I'm thinking that I might need to launch at least 2 of the fuel sections, and maybe more engines. Depending on where I choose to send it (at first, most likely the mun), I may need to retrofit some atmospheric probes and landers.

Good Kod, what a monster

Yeah... I want it to have a nice, sci-fi utilitarian feel. I've also never actually build a mothership, or returned anything from a planet that's not the mun or minimus, so this should be interesting.

The best part is, I've owned the game for nearly two years.

Fun fact... the lander docks got into orbit with a ship missing two engines... I only realized after-the-fact. I was wondering why it couldn't fly strait.

There should've been mainsails on the bottom of those tanks
