Will someone attempt at making the Endurance and all of it's components?

Why not take this opportunity to model it and get it in-game yourself?

You have a computer capable of running KSP, that means you have a computer capable of making such a mod.

I COMPLETLY forgot about Interstellars Endurance. PLEASE O MIGHTY MODDERS MAKE THIS!!!

Please take responsibility before blaming me like that.

I'm not actually sure what you mean by that. I wasnt blaming anything on anyone. Apologies if it seemed that way.

Dude, he just said that you could try to do it yourself. Right now, you're actually telling him to go make a mod for you, because you can't be assed to do it yourself.

And where can we learn to mod for KSP?

And where can we learn to mod for KSP?

I started by watching some introductory blender tutorials on youtube (blendercookie, a bunch of others) and just looking things up when I needed them. CFG files and unity are very intuitive. Texturing is... well, the people who get great looking stuff have skills, but you can make something look Not Horrible just by obeying some simple rules (texel density, noise, palettes).

None of this is very unique to KSP either.

There are always helpful folk on these forums if you ask nicely. They all learnt from somewhere.

I have some modelling experience already so I kinda skipped learning that part for modding, but beyond that usually just googling what you wanna do yields helpful results.

i will try it then

I was thinking along the same lines of making an Endurance, but using my Multipurpose Colony Modules mod as a basis. Anyway, here is a reference I found from space.com.

The way I see it, I'd use my existing colony modules as the main modules of my "Kendurance" spacecraft. Then all I'd need to do is build the angled pieces (probably straight pieces that bend once in space) and the central hub piece. Hm...

I loved the use of miniatures, they looked incredible.

Haven't seen the movie yet but it looks cool, and I think it would be possible to build an Endurance in KSP by combining it with RoverDude's OKS/MKS and my colony modules add-on. I think you could use sirkut's robot arms mod he's making to angle the parts that go in between the Mulitpurpose Colony Modules. So what you'd do is assemble a string of the modules and the bending connector pieces, then fire up the Infernal Robotics derivative, and bend the string into a circle.

[comham]

To minimise ring strain you'd need a special 30 degree angled bicoupling docking port, which would be quite easy to bash up in blender.

[Angelo Kerman]

I use MAX but yeah. The challenge for me is to make a docking port. I haven't done that before. The part would need to be no more than 2.5 meters long to keep with the diameter of the MCM. Well a bit more because the MBU is less than 2.5 meters wide. But it is doable after I get some accessories done.

[randomness5555]

If someone does make the endurance, I challenge them to make a ranger shuttle, the cargo shuttle and one of those big boxy robots as well. And who knows, maybe even use planet factory and make the three planets as well.

[nli2work]

what kind of ISP do you suppose is that ranger shuttle's engine? and thrust too. it got off of the 1.3g planet without much sweat. but took the whole SLS to get off of earth?

[tg626]

That was a Saturn V not the SLS. That was clear on 1st stage sep, engines in "pods" around the fuselage with aerodynamic fins on the pods.

[Gangan]

i already make it. but, not the using film one. just use same concept

sadly. not good enough. need bigger nuclear engine or powerfull engine.

[akron]

Some reference for the Ranger here:

I would love to help, but school is eating up too much of my time.

I did make some inspired KSP flags though

You should have posted this on mod suggestions not Mods Development

There is no such subforum

There is however a mod discussion subforum which would be ideal.

[akron]

This would be good. Perhaps a mod can move the thread

I greatly enjoyed the movie. The spaceflight looked great. But... the spaceships themselves all looked ugly. I'm not sure why you'd want to replicate them ingame, when you can make something similar in purpose but much more stylish, like those cool spaceplanes earlier in this thread.
