Stock Wonders... How creative have you gotten with stock?

[CalMacDa]

There are a lot of things you can do with stock. Need fairings? Make me with stock! Need a more powerful, efficient engine? Well then, get creative with radial engines! This is a thread to share your most amazing stock subassemballies and vessels that are entirely stock. So, what have you done?

[gGATORr]

Of all my stock creations, my favorite is still the burst cannon on my VTOL gunship:

However, my most popular creation is by far the floating aircraft carrier:

HI!

I have a working stock mini bearing that got a fair amount of attention and praise!

I am the Master of the Intakes!

My stock N1, sadly it got to the point where it was too big and I lost the craft file soon after

That is awesome! I tried making one, but KSP's strange ideas of the definition of a parent part got the better of me.

My system to launch SSTO Shuttles to a suborbital trajectory: 100% reusable and works fine for stock KSP. For Far I will have to tweak the aerodynamics.

I may well have the record for smallest fully-functional probe:

And right around when the asteroid update came out, I wanted to get in a bit of "training" for my Kerbals before trying to redirect a real asteroid, so I built an artificial one:

I've been trying my hand at replica's lately, and although my Apollo project hasn't gone quite swimmingly, everything else I've attempted has worked out pretty well so far.

The current fleet consists of Proton, Soyuz, Atlas V and Delta IV, most of which come with payloads. There's an Ariane 5 as well, but that doesn't have an accurate scaling yet.

On my old account I invented the K-drive. That experiment turned out way better than I first thought it would.

A stock reactionless drive was pretty useful until the joint update broke it

Nice launchers dude! I'm very happy to see you used my 'no stock engine fairings technique'!

Actually, I just used Tweakable Everything, also very handy to stop solar panels from rotating on things like the Soyuz and whatnot

[Yukon0009]

I wonder if I did a good enough job for you all to see what it is.

I broke a stick in half today!

Damn your eyes man!!

Great work either way though.

[Jon144]

I'm probably one of the least creative people here. Nothing to show off. Nothing out of the ordinary whatsoever.

spherical rotor:

engine hinge:

Randomness (1st is an old frame tester

And many more on my channel..

By the way stock is good, but FAR is totally better,

just like keyboard is good, but joypad is better.

Helicopters are yesterdays history. Trucks are the future obviously.

Probably miles behind everything else here, but I made a glider. (Note the skids on the bottoms, those are Vernor engines.)

Tommorow i'm gonna try dropping one from orbit and trying to land, that'll be fun.

What was your old account?

This is jaw-dropping. How fast can it go?

30 M/S +

But going that fast or faster can be dangerous.

Little reason not to stick my new KMU here:

Now I just need to build a space shuttle and I'll have jumped on all the popular bandwagons ^^
