VaporTrail Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Damn... Dat Engine...I like big bells and I cannot lie. You other bruuda's can't deny. When an engine rolls in with an itty bitty waist and that round thing in your face...Seriously... that thing is huuuuuuuuuuuuuge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalculusWarrior Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Absolutely fantastic. Now all we need is a way to launch it from the ocean! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreyATGB Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Is it 1:1 scale? Just answered my own question. It's not, first stage engine on this is 15m compared to 22m and produces 94MN not 300. Still should be able to be converted like all other engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalidas Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) I noticed the effects on the engines are not formatted like a hotrockets effect. I am unsure if the effects provided from smokescreen would affect the standard format for engine effects.EDIT: Never mind, I found the entry hidden at the end of the squad hotrockets config. Might want to move your configs into their own file. Edited July 3, 2014 by Gaalidas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hattivat Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 So much freedom... If I may suggest something, could you perhaps do this: http://up-ship.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/image18egr.jpg next (teaser: 450 tonnes to LUNAR orbit)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreyATGB Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 RSS changes the size of the VAB and there was a separate mod for that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitworks Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Its amazing how much some real concepts fit the Kerbal mentality. Definitely giving this a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motokid600 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I would LOVE to see modders venture more into concept rockets. This is beautiful. Love the textures. As for the VAB being too small.. theres always the extension mod, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akbbbbbbadayhou Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Has anyone tried this on 0.24 yet? It should work if it's just parts, yeah? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaalidas Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 It should, and I don't see why it wouldn't unless some incompatibility came up in the hotrockets side of things. I haven't discovered any, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackkymoon Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Has anyone tried this on 0.24 yet? It should work if it's just parts, yeah?While I haven't tried the hotrockets mod in .24, the parts work just fine. I've also been working on another concept rocket that fortunately uses the same 13.75 fairing size as seadragon, so when it's done you should be able to have some big ass fairings without using procedural fairings!

A-Stax32 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I recently added this rocket under my current interplanetary launch vehicle and launched it. The rocket had plenty of thrust and preformed fine however upon exiting the launchpad I was wholly underwhelmed by the size of the rocket exhaust. Why didn't you include a slightly more realistically sized rocket exhaust trail? I really was expecting something along the lines of the launchpad disappearing in the flames of such a mighty rocket.

CaptainKipard Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Just a suggestion. I say this to every new modder. If you've unwrapped these models without any overlap, you can try to bake Ambient Occlusion and multiply the layer over your texture. It will improve your textures significantly with minimal effort.

Northstar1989 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Now give it a realistic price (scale it based on lifting capacity vs. other rockets, it should be a lot cheaper per ton than normal rockets), and let's watch players PROFIT!Regards,Northstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FX for the engine is scaled up to the correct size using hotrockets. I checked after .24 came out and it seemed to be working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northstar1989 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 I tried to recreate the Seadragon rocket, AKA big dumb booster concept from the 60's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Dragon_(rocket) . The rocket would have dwarfed the Saturn 5 and could have lifted the ISS into orbit in one launch for a much lower price than todays rockets. The rocket has only 2 engines, each of them are absolutely massive, the first having 94MN of thrust!! and the second more efficient engine with 14.6MN. http://imgur.com/a/WYAmAI'm still hoping you'll update this for 0.24.2, and give it a price-tag to scale.Just keep in mind that this was a "Big Dumb Booster", so the whole point of the thing was much lower cost-per-kg to orbit than traditional rockets.Regards,Northstar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon2462 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 (edited) after looking at super nexus i had a chill go down my spine even kerbals would think twice[edit]i might make a texture my self because i don't want big letters yelling at me saying USA!!! i'm not offending you Americans you guys are awesome (and the Russians) i might show the texture but i will only release with permission.

TheScareCake! Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Everytime you launch something like that, you will need to build another ksc! Because that engine.... EVEN THE KRAKEN RUNS AWAY FROM IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
