Size matters thread! SSTOs, Planes, rovers, and rockets! (No stations) (Rep Thread)


Recommended Posts

Show off your largest craft! Give out Rep to your favorites.

My first craft is the SSTO space Cargo plane BMF MKII, It is a 617 part, 140 tonne behemoth that can handle 20 tonnes of cargo to duna or laythe. I built this bad boy last year with inspiration from G4Virus.

Largest pretty interplanetary thingy (completely useless though, it can orbit a bit but you have to babysit it through every burn)

Largest useful interplanetary ship

And my biggest rocket in my VAB at the moment the Mighty Saturn.

Nice, rocket sort of looks like Saturn V!

Don't really know what to call it. Has room for two torpedoes at the bow, cargo space for a big orange tank. Took 3 launches, and I could add on more segments...

But it's already a lag-monster as it is.

Before that, the ill-fated Pangolin Spacetrain. Not enough POWAH.

My cancelled N1 L3 project, The whole rocket is pretty much 90% ascetically ready, but there were control issues, fuel consumption issues, thrust to weight ratio issues and just having too much parts in general causing my computer to have a meltdown.

What part count are we talking? 1000?

As a fan of the whole bigger is better, this was designed to be my first munlander (and back)

it has 804 parts with seperately ejectible fuel canisters and boosters out the wazoo

With a total weight of 2880 tons it goes from 0 to 50 in 10 seconds flat

seperating stage 1 is kinda messy

At this stage it stopped lagging so it looks cool

I was also curious to see how far it could actually go and well..

I don't usually go for big, these are all under 500 parts on first load, and I say 500 because of the N1 with its thirty engines and because the Medusa is actually a dozen independent pieces with a big honking heatshield made out of structural plates, the Nodachi is under 300:

The aforementioned Nodachi, a Big Red SSTO.

N1, accurate as boop and therefore part hungry. 100+ parts in the first stage only.

Queen of complexity, the Medusa class transport outfitted for a Grand Tour (Eve lander delivered separately).

Rune. I have a thing for orbital assembly, so I don't launch big.
