What is your 'Specialty' in KSP?

[maarten2208]

I am good at making space stations that are totally symmetrical

[Espresso]

Explosions.

[Chiboko]

Building stuff that was never meant to be: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/44037-Mechs-for-mech-fans

[Silverchain]

Rovers, borrowing* and precision driving, ably demonstrated by Jim Kerman in the spaceplane/rover Yojimbo!

*the other rover is a modified version of a design by meyst.

[SelectHalfling0]

I LOVE making unmanned probe stations. A massive unmanned probe carrier to jool? Done! A rover that is to scour the mun? Done!

[AmpsterMan]

My "Specialty" is everything. Because I am bad at everything xD

[Anton P. Nym]

I guess SSTOs and probes. Next Moho window I'm going to send a sample return mission... I think. (That, or it's a lander with a massively over-engineered transfer stage. We'll find out soon.)

I like to fly and safely land big buildings, really BIG BUILDINGS.

[qromodynmc]

I build cool looking planes. and I believe Im good at it.

[SuperBigD60]

I'm good at making things look freaking ugly, if that counts for anything.

[DannySwish]

Specialty? Uhhh, I guess something special-ish that most people don't do is I dock my craft using the main engines only. I never put RCS on anything anymore.

[Arran]

Technically overcomplicated rockets

The weirder the staging, the better, I always say.

If I had a specialty I think it would be probes. I like designing them, and making them work.

[Guest]

Historical spacecraft. It's a bit more meta than most stock players go, but in general, I deal in historic replicas and realism configs. And in pestering modelers to make their historical models more accurate.

[Redrobin]

Big -ish crafts with plenty of engines and Russian replicas. Mostly because those are harder.

Rumor has it we got spoilers back. How to use them?

I definitely like my SSTOs, though the vast majority of them fail to achieve the "TO" part. I've recently been experimenting with SSTO heavy lifters, but so far a working design has eluded me. Some of my more recent attempts:

HSTp-1 "Atlas" -- Too nose heavy, tended to fall out of the sky.

HSTp-2 (no given name) -- Not enough rocket fuel, failed to make orbit; adding more makes the plane too heavy.

Earlier attempts (pre-RAPIER engine):

Three similar designs, all failures:

First ever attempt:

On the other hand, some of my non-heavy-lifting designs have been very successful:

"Hercules":

"Photon":

I forget the name of this one:

I've also dabbled in atmospheric aircraft, typically focusing on novel ideas including airliners, flying boats, and open-cockpit biplanes, but I think that's enough images for one post.

My speciality must be something about taking it slow, and exploring thoroughly, like I'm building up a history for the kerbals. I don't believe in only letting your kerbal stay ten minutes on a planet he spent two months getting to.

That, and crazy creations.

I prefer travelling with spacecraft that have the odd unusual feature or two, and spending time mucking about when I get where I'm going.

Playing the game in ways it wasn't intended to.

And, the usual re-creation

[Joshington]

Colonies. The more kerbals I can squeeze into it, the happier I am.

[KvickFlygarn87]

Transfer stages, docking, transfers.

Ironically, I haven't actually been to all of Jools moons or the inner planets.

[Rainbowtrout]

Mostly insane contraptions that I call "Scientific Tests", when in reality I'm testing kerbal heat resistance.

[Commander Jebidiah]

Abort towers or the abort button

I've lost count how many times I've had to use either of them

[O-Doc]

High speed docking like a pro intergalactic bank robber!

Sometimes you need to slow down docking an orbital silo to your battlecruiser. Spontaneous Kessler from wobble can often result.

[stijnovic]

Compact triangular/hexagonal craft design!
