LDS Product Line. Launchers for the people. With .craft & vid-spec-sheet. WIP

[DonLorenzo]

Hello Everybody!

I've decided that after months and indeed years of focusing on nothing but the big picture massive space endeavours I'd stay on the planet for a change and try my hand at designing functional, elegant and easy to use ships (rather than single purpose monstrosities that require a three tome instruction manual to even get off the pad). So far I'm focusing on Launchers, ordered by payload to LKO capacity. So far I've got 50, 100 and 200 tonne launchers that are presentable and affordable and I intend to continue doubling payload size until my computer melts. It's really cold in here so it could be a while.

Anyway without further ado, here is the first and admittedly basic ship, the MICROLAUNCHER. What I like in this is the simplicity. Zero complexity, just bolt your small payload to the top and go visit anywhere in the Kerbal system. Spec sheet and video below, stay tuned for the rest of the lineup!

Oh and by the way, this is also an impromptu challenge to anyone: please be invited to achieve the same payload/dv/destination capability with less complexity or a lower cost!

Have fun and fly safe,

Lorenzo

A small 50t orbital launcher has just been added to the catalog!

No pics no clicks. Hope you are not expecting people to wade through 20 minutes of video to decide if they download your crafts.

Well, the thumbnail/still of the vid has the spec sheet and a picture, which should be visible right from the thread.

But guard and/or expend your clicks any way you wish, I certainly won't lie awake fussing over them. I share stuff I enjoyed making, if that (or videos in general) isn't your thing that's fine.

The next product development cycle has produced... The LDS Fireworm! A ever so slowly launching monstrosity that will get your 100t (max) payload to LKO cheaply and reliably! (Next products will have accompanying screenshots brochures)

The first ship in the LDS line that can reasonable be called somewhat bigger than tiny. Lifting (just) over 200 tonnes to Low Kerbin Orbit this one is yours for under 600grand!
