[Request] Kessler bomb?

[JiWint]

I need debris.Lots of it.Why? It would be fun if one would hit my rocket

I tried to make one kessler bomb

As you see,result isn't very nice

I need something..like this

So do anyone know any rockets that have the Kessler superpower?

[datdenkikniet]

euhmalerd, that looks cool

*tries to reproduce immediately*

[vger]

Good job, but... you've still got a long way to go.

yay!

[JiWint]

Making progress: btw is there a way to see debris in-flight?

[astropapi1]

Yes there is! Just point the mouse to the upper part of the screen when on map view and right-click on the Debris tag.

thanks it works,maybe there is a way to see their orbits too? (without hovering mouse over)

Didn't it work like that? Last time I launched a kessler armada (that ruined my save btw) it showed like that by default.

It just showed debris icons,without their orbits

I wonder how laggy was it to get it up

[WhiteWeasel]

Take Dannys'

+ VAB copy/paste and slap it on top of a rocket; (or hyperedit for a faster route).

Behold the horror of 1000+ debris, it lags outside of render range!

I can't wait to try it out

Wait,can debris lag even without loading it?

[guz667]

This looks AWESOME!

I've been debating about creating a ship-bound missile-defense system using debris fields; this has motivated me to start the endeavor again!

[MedwedianPresident]

Yes; debris can very well be used to protect orbits. Any spacecraft that will be entering the orbit the debris are in will get damaged due to relative velocity.

[JDCollie]

I created Kessler syndrome accidentally when I was using the unpatched version of Remote Tech 2. For those who are unaware, there is a bug in the .23 release (now patched) that duplicates ships on occasion which are not active . . . sometimes several times over. The result is that when you switch to that ships (yes, it has suddenly become plural!) you experience something I would call a Kraken bomb: every single part on every ship is suddenly given tremendous phantom force, causing an explosion of debris that would do Alderran proud.

The fact that this occurred at 75km equatorial orbit around Kerbin on a large space station was . . . well, not good.

craft file

Craft is just shy of the Dv to get to LKO. Maybe some stage 1 drop tanks or something would help. I just used infinite fuel for the last bit to see if it would work. It makes about 300 debris IIRC.

Then I reloaded my quicksave

You need to mouse over them and wait a bit (it takes a while to show hundreds of orbits at once i guess)

Also, Danny's tree of doom is really great, it explodes with kraken-level force, and spreads debris over a wider area (activating it a few meters away from a station is guaranteed to obliterate it)

But it's pretty heavy and needs lots of additional strutting (and prayers) to avoid wobble (and memory shortages)

I can still only get the piece of debris I mouseover to show the orbit. How do you get all the orbits of all the debris shown?

Mouseover a lot of them by zooming out a bit so they take up the same space.

I know this is an older thread, but I have the original craft file from the OPs gif, was simply named the "kessler bomb", and came from here, http://www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/1mru5g/kessler_bomb/, and credit for the craft goes to reddit user /u/Rufuscallahan. Be warned, this is a near 1200 part ship, and does not fly with FAR.

I see that, you've made new Saturn like rings around Kerbin.

Mouseover a lot of them by zooming out a bit so they take up the same space.

Much MUCH better to display all of the debris orbits in the map at the same time with one click by right-clicking on their icon in map view. If you mouse over the top, a tab drops with icons for every type of vessel that works just like the one on the tracking station. Useful for congested parking orbit like 70km circular LKO, if you keep your vessels classified.

Rune. Little known UI fact.
