Holy mother of robotics M1sz!! Here, have all my cookies, you deserve them!

Ok, so craft I'm quite a proud of. . . I have a few:

This is the latest, hydrofoil capable of moving 10,000 units of Kethane around at 150m/s + with a range that will get you half way round Kerbin.

I think this is my best SSTO to date which I called "Extended Orbital Operations". . . looks pretty, is quite light at 17 ton launch weight and makes orbit with almost 1500 m/s of DeltaV left for mucking about in Kerbin orbit. . . I've also sent 2 to Laythe

I like my Ion Roid pusher but this isn't the best picture

This one isn't pretty. . . however this SSTO weighs 12.5 tons and can lift 5.5 tons of payload (that contributes nowt to the lifting) to kerbin orbit. Almost 1:1 lift body to payload ratio ain't bad!

This is my Single Stage to Laythe:

This is just a little plane, its not especially useful but it flies like a dream and looks nice

Finally I really like my "rocket-hopping" rover for low Grav bodies:

[TheLost]

My intergalactic VTOL.

Runs on 1 Tellurium engine for takeoff, and 3 for lateral movement.

Once it's going, the tellurium engines really shine, as they run on the radioactive decay of tellurium... so they last awhile, at a low (ish) thrust. Since they can burn SOOO long, you can go VERY fast over time, simply because of how long they burn. Thrust is 300 Stock, I went into the code and lowered them to 225 so the craft handles better in vtol mode. Basically Jet engines for space.

"Uh.. is it too late to say I forgot something? I need to go back."

This is what I mean by burns a long time. I burnt engines at full throttle for 8 hours to achieve this speed. Given it had a TON of fuel, way more than necessary, and was passed the effects of gravity.

Well... I DID recover him with a small pod... took awhile to get out there though.

Just some cool looking pics.

Go for a swimming robot, hahahah !

Wait, was that? Did I... What just happened?

Amazing work!

[m1sz]

thanks for the love :D:D

[Redshift OTF]

I wouldn't even know how to start complimenting you on that design. Amazing!

I made this some months ago. It got me 0.1337 seconds of fame. I'm quite proud of it, I could say it's my KSP masterpiece, along my 5 shuttles which are seriously Awsome (with a big capital "A"). Don't wan't to sound bad, but they are extremely cool. Oh and I don't have the pics. Dumb me, huh? No pics, no clicks, no reps.

This is using the Interstellar mod.

I have sent it to Minmus aswell and used it to EVA very easily into LKO.

I'm just going to leave this here...

I, for one, think that my Soyuz is pretty spiffy.

That looks beautiful. Is that all stock?

When I can find it, I'll get some pics of my Kerbal Zwei budget rocket. I made it at the beginning of the tech tree to go TO SPACE! Sadly, it only got to about 25 KM. Pics later, as stated before.

My most recent space station (which is also on the space station thread). My largest one yet!

Phoenix Station - All stock minus one removable MechJeb for part count and weight stats.

Completed station took 9 major docking operations not including refueling. Mass is approximately 600t dry and 1300t wet with a part count of just over 600. It has habitation space for 384 kerbals plus a major lab module.

I can remove the service module and the wet mass would drop by ~20 tons but would save ~60 parts. I only really needed it for the major docking operations, but left it on afterward. (It's the small piece at the end with the LV-Ns on it, on the tip of the docking hub.)

And in a similar vein as Shna_na's rugged rover/buggy, here is a medical rescue vehicle I built for another challenge (that had nothing to do with medical rescue). It has space for a driver and medic, plus space for two injured kerbals. It's capable of withstanding 3 to 4x timewarp over most terrain and can survive a 4x timewarp crash. This particular slideshow is of it driving to the north pole.

Kerbatar 2, now proudly presented in its just-completed glory!

It includes a common area and private quarters for up to 8 Kerbals, a mobule lab, and four landers, two of which are crewed, with space to add more. Its modular fuel and propulsion system allows it to be configured for missions to various planets.

Also today I made an SSTO rocket with an 80-ton payload capacity:

[Raptor9]

UV-2B 'Bear' Kethane Lander/Miner/Convertor/Transport. Rotation servos give it horizontal and vertical flight capability, grappling hooks to mine on slopes, and on-site conversion capabilities. Undocks from orbital refinery with 10% LFO, lands on Minmus, fills up its LFO/Mono tanks with converted Kethane, then tops off on unconverted Kethane, returns to refinery to offload LFO and convert remaining Kethane. The 'Bear' mining rigs are the ones that actually do the refining in orbit; they just transfer the refined products to the tanker docked there. The station is just a couple of habitation modules, solar panels, and docking ports for a place to rendezvous in Minmus orbit.

SV-2A 'Brigantine' fuel tanker docked on one side of my 'Sky Dock' (again, small station, just a rendezvous point for larger spacecraft) while it fuels a fully constructed EV-3B 'Longship' interplanetary science vessel. The 'Longship' has integrated science experiments and mobile lab, and two docking ports for LV-4 'Runabout' atmo-landers. In an emergency, the powerplant module can be undocked and the main module can be pushed by the pair of docked landers. Between the docked landers is a fuel tank able to refuel both landers once, as well as emergency solar panels to power the main module. This is the second EV-3 I built in orbit (the A-model had serious shortcomings, lol) and it's on it's way to Duna. Kudos to Kerbal Attachment System; it makes orbital construction EVAs a little more realistic, practical and fun.
