Haha awesome, just downloaded it, about to launch it now.

Edit:

It is launched, now time to sink it :D

Bombing attempts were unsuccessful. Drastic measures are called for, i must sacrifice a Goliath for the good of the space centre.

If a goliath does not kill it idk what will.

Still afloat!

Tough little ship, that.

You are telling me?

Goliath aint a small ship lol, it is 396 tonnes and there was still something left of the Kraken after i hit it at 130m/s.

Just damn.

Going to fly a Titan into it, i mean Titan is 535 tonnes.

Perhaps one of these might be of use: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/90747-Kerbodyne-SSTO-Division-Omnibus-Thread?p=1368623&viewfull=1#post1368623

Aww idk Titan has a pretty mean engine pack tucked away inside it (yeah you can fly the engine to the mun, without any control surfaces/wings)

Thanks everybody! I'm glad y'all like it, I sure had fun building it!

Nice! What's the part count? +1 rep

Edit: Dang need to spread more rep to give more out

With the wheels attached (used to get it to the water), it's near 1000. I think. It's enough to make my puny MacBook Pro nearly have a seizure. I'll give you an exact number when I get home this evening.

Wow that's some serious detail. Have you had any unfortunate encounters with real krackens?

Besides that monstrosity that Roflcopterkklol slammed into my ship at 130m/s? Nope. No krackens, no sea monsters, no mermaids, nothing. Not even a fish. In fact, Kerbin's seas seem to be pretty lifeless!

Awesome. :)

You might enjoy some of these pics from a trip I took a few years ago: http://sailsofglory.org/album.php?albumid=247

Beautiful!

Um, this is a little nit-picky but on real three masted ships the mizzen mast was taller than the foremast but shorter than the mainmast.

Of course, but, you see, with KSP's current wind physics, I found that having them the same height allowed my sails to catch more of the south-easterly breeze, enhancing my vessel's ability to tack into a strong gale :wink:

Success! The pirates have been vanquished.

Admitted i think Goliath came out second best in the fight, damn good job building that ship man.

AAARRGH! What are ye doing to me ship?!?! But for real, that is awesome! I appreciate you taking time out of your day to test the durability of my boat (I'm actually quite impressed with it's resilience!). What a good way to annihilate two gorgeous creations!
