@Sidestrafe2462 I wonder where you got the idea for "PotatoTech"?

It's been a while posting but recently I modified the Argus Tank to fit the new armour introduced in the BDArmoury update...

 

I think it suits it well

This is why we can't have nice things. 

Back to the topic, please. 

[Draconiator]

Yeah, I want to know when #26 is coming out.  I'm wondering what ships made the cut this time.

Don't hold your breath on when the next KS episode is coming out, but in the meantime I'd suggest looking at other series' like KS, my recommendation would be the Fall of Kerbin series by BeardyPenguin and TAPE Gaming to pass the time, I don't know exactly the progress of KS 26 but I cannot imagine it coming out soon

[MiffedStarfish]

Yeah, I'm kinda hoping for a Christmas Day release. That would be a brilliant present.

Hey all, I've been working on some vehicles for my submission, and I'd like some feedback

So first of all, I have Paladin: (There are three in the photo. Obviously..)

I've set myself a budget of 30 parts max, since my computer isn't much more than a noisy fan with an internet connection. (30 parts max for rovers). Unfortunately, this means that infinite electricity has to be activated, because these things have zero batteries. They can, however, reach a top speed of 50 m/s with the wheels, and 120 m/s with the afterburner:

Maneuverability is decent (some skidding) but the vehicle frame/chassis is a little too low, so there may be explosions in bumpy areas...

Secondly, I have Barracuda:

This one's a little tougher than Paladin, as it can withstand a direct hydra rocket (to the flank, mind you). I see her more as a pursuit vehicle than one designed for direct assaults though. Maneuverability is quite good - low turn rate at high speeds, but no unwanted flips. Optimal performance in flat areas:

Hope you take the time to read this and give feedback

[NotAnAimbot]

Looks like my Wolverine series propulsion-wise

[Piatzin]

Is that the armour provided by BDA? And how many parts is it?

Oh, and a question (to everyone): Most of my craft use Tweakscale for the wheels and some wing parts. Is that going to be a problem...?

Yes, the armor is from BDA.

Yes, Tweakscale is a mod, and therefore that would be a problem. It might sound kind of strict, but it saves countless hours in debugging little problems down the road.

That's a bit high for my computer

Has anyone done tests to see if large groups of small, lightly armed vehicles are more effective than the more heavy giants?

EDIT: I was unable to make a stock version of the ground craft, or a Corvette I've been working on, but I managed to make this (pure stock, aside from BDAc):

Armament: 1 x Abrams cannon, 3 x Millennium Cannons, and a Goalkeeper

The engines have a tendency to be air-deprived at speeds below 10 m/s, but at max speed (35 m/s) they run fine. Turning speed is decent:

80 parts

Edited September 28, 2017 by Earthlinger

[Piatzin]

I redesigned the Destroyer from my previous post:

I swapped a Millennium Cannon for an extra Abrams turret, and added radiators. Still 80 parts, but now, instead  of moving at 35 m/s, she moves at...

Turning is more or less the same, and as a plus, the ship is (kind of) self healing, since activating the radiators after a battle can cool down damaged parts. Only problem is that the radiators themselves are usually the parts that get hit, but.......ah well...

Oh and sorry if I'm saturating this thread with my posts XD

New plane

Looks great

Is it capable of flying straight up, or does the picture portray it in a momentary/controlled stall?

Btw I just submitted some ships to the submissions thread, if anyone wants to check that out. I'll be adding some more craft to it over time. I'll post updates here.

yep, it can with afterburners, although the pic was taken during a loop maneuver in a dogfight

Noice. Can't really say the same thing for mine....

At least not with time warp...
