Kethane Station Discussion

[ScriptKitt3h]

Copied over from my thread in the Spacecraft Exchange:

The MT-23 is a fast, long-range VTOL dropship, perfect for long-term missions or the occasional "security" OP.

Equipped with strong SAS systems, twin ASAS-stabilized lifting jets, a massive cargo bay (able to drop payloads as well as hold them), and a fully unmanned control system, this dropship is perfect for all sorts of objectives.

The craft comes as-is, and is recommended to be used for colonization missions on Laythe, or military operations there and on Kerbin.

/Action Groups:/

1-Toggle VTOL Jets.

Abort-Activate emergency landing chutes (great for sudden landings, requires kerbals to replace).

//

4-Toggles Cargo bay lights.

5-Opens Bay Doors.

6-Toggles XL landing gear (landing legs).

So yeah, this is a sort of VTOL drone dropship for joint MU-HKA use. Feel free to arm it however you like, HatBat.

I love the looks on that thing . Can't wait to film it.

I updated my submission, with a new carrier and frigate. Here is a link to it.

By the way, can anybody help me out with the albums?

I like the new ships. But this is the link to your post: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/91795-Military-Series-Ship-Submissions?p=1515400&viewfull=1#post1515400

[Mobius]

Thank you! Sorry about the wrong link.

I need to add MechJeb to the ships, and then I can upload the .craft downloads. It'll take ten or so minutes.

edit: download links are up now.

Hum. You were saying about nice-looking dropships? Considering there are two sides here... well, mine opens and closes, plus it has additional pressurized space for six besides the six seats in the bay. And a rover that can move in and out. Oh, and did I mention it is both SSTO and VTOL? I proved it by flying first to the admin building, then to orbit, after having launched the rover and recovered it. The Quinjet is just waiting for me to write up its thread!

I wanted to make something like that.

Sadly, I'm still having issues with the SP+ parts and their inherent lift values messing up the balance of my craft, and I've still yet to perfect my partbuilt cargo bays.

Are we having a drop-ship contest? I've got one too

[War Eagle 1]

Well I don't have a dropship but I am working on a new shuttle.

The Ambassador Class is designed to take up small satellites or can carry a crew of 6 to a space station in LKO.

Im sure some modification can make it hold more than 6 if you don't mind sticking some in the cargo bay

[Damaske]

HatBat,

I'm not saying that they sell the same ship to both sides, they only sell THAT one design to the highest bidder, If it happens to be the HSA or the GMI it matters not as only the highest builder would get the rights to THAT one craft.

For example I have a craft that I made called the TMKS Ferrell that is a frigate class capital and after running it on trials the HSA and GMI show interest yet GMI bids higher than the HSA only GMI would get the production runs of this new frigate design. and If we make another craft say a cruiser this time and HSA wins the bidding war only HSA will receive the new cruiser.

Also You have yet to say how many have sided with the HSA and GMI yet, or I missed it.

[Halban]

Don't worry, we were on the same page. But still, it's a little weird that a manufacturer would simultaneously sell to two opposing factions. But go ahead, I'm sure I can write some role play to suit the situation. I'm not really keeping tally of who's allying with who, but the big ones are Trafalgar and Zokesia Skunkworks with GMI while Proke-Tek and Project Genesis are with HKA. And being as special as he is Rune has written his company as an old and dead military force who's ships are being sold on the black market.

EDIT: It's HKA, by the way

@Hatbat

I've looked in your videos a lot and I can't figure out how to put my companys (Halco Industries) logo on ships, is it a specific mod? if so please send me the link to it, I'd like to put my flag/logo on my ships, I need to create a mediafire acc or something so i can put my ships up for download, When I do i'll post submissions here!

EDIT: I just realised Halco Industries acronym is HI, awesome right?

[Spartwo]

And being as special as he is Rune has written his company as an old and dead military force who's ships are being sold on the black market.

That's something interesting to play around with. Means the ships are less production built and can vary a lot if they need to.

More album updates.

Don't forget the MU being allied w/ HKA!

Whoops. That's probably the most important one of all right now xD

all right that sounds good. I have an even more indestructible version of the Drek if you want ;D

[MissionController3134]

The UKN is primarily allied with HKA but will sell ships to GMI to make a little extra cash.

Here is the newest ship in our collection:

Alright, sorry I've been... gone for a while. Anyways, what do we need? I've little inspiration, so somebody tell me what to build!

[zekes]

Hey HatBat, are you doing any naval battles? I've got a pretty awesome ship you can use this one's actually functional for naval combat.

[ScriptKitt3h]

Once again, slightly copied over from its release thread:

"Meet the all-new MU MT-24!

This state-of-the-art Cargo VTOL is ready to help build colonies, carry out airdrops, and support massive (doomed) land invasions!

Features include a large cargo bay for rovers/passengers, quad VTOL engine nacelles (with RAPIERS for horizontal flight), and a crash-resistant cockpit section!

Javascript is disabled. View full album

Flight Instructions:

Throttle up to a notch or two under full throttle, and then engage the VTOL jets (do not adjust the thrust limiters!). Once they spool up, the dropship will achieve vertical takeoff, and you can begin flying! To turn, you'll want to bank the craft left and right while rotating it gently to adjust the direction the VTOL engines are thrusting. To land, throttle down enough to begin falling, and use the engines to slowly come in for a safe landing. (The emergency chutes are there to help with this if need be!) Cargo should be loaded onboard via a ramp or the SPH, and should be lashed down with struts (for KAS users/loading cargo in the SPH) and affixed via the medium docking port in the front of the bay.

/Action Groups:/

Abort- Opens emergency parachutes.

1- Toggles RAPIERS

2- Switches RAPIER engine mode (afterburners on/off)

3- Toggles VTOL Jets

4- //Blank//

5- Toggles Cargo Hold lighting.

Gear (G)- Toggles Landing legs.

Just like with the MT-23, feel free to arm it however you like HatBat.

Double-post glitch. :(

Very nice SK, looks insane. I love the slightly sci fi aesthetics.

You should build something like the aegis, that would be pretty cool.

I'd like to do naval combat one day, but I'm not sure it belongs in a sci if universe like that of the kethane station. But yeah, perhaps I could do a WW2 era battle cine.

fair enough... that would be fun though editing would make up for the lack of reloading in the guns... i could even make a version with the turrets fixed sideways to allow oblique fire cinematics

I'd actually love to make a video like this

So far, I've been working on a number of cargo ships. Nothing's really ready for viewing, but still! I just feel like developing cargo ships to make my manufacturer that I'm working on have a specialty (and somewhere to work off of for modifications).

Speaking of my manufacturer... I'm thinking they should be based around building things on Dres (or in orbit of). I pretty much never hear much love for the little planet, yet that's still the ONLY place I've actually landed on out of Kerbin's SOI (and also returned from).

Wha? No Cyten?

I guess I'll have to make more ships in order to be considered "big." To the drawing boards!

[Spartwo]

Final push and I'm .25 ready.
