Kerbal Space Program Megathread V1

[Error]

Heresy! Thou shalt burn under the mity power of our holy rocket engines!

But, seriously, the thing is only seeing Kerbin at night, unless it's a Com Sat. And I was honestly expecting a Kill Sat.

I'll probably develop some other weapons before I try docking.

If one decides to pull a Kill Sat, please consult above map so you actually hit your intended target. Thank you.

Also, what do you all think of claiming other planets and moons? As in, land and plant a flag to claim?

I think it should be you claim a certain area around the flag, instead of the whole thing.

You shouldn't be able to just up and claim an entire body with just one landing and flag. Here's my ideas:

1. For Laythe, upon planting a flag or successfully landing a new base, a nation shall mark out their new land and/or sea claim on a map of Laythe's surface.
2. For permanent ocean bases on Kerbin or Eve, a nation shall have claimed the area within a radius of 75km of the landing site.
3. For all other bodies (excepting Kerbin), upon planting a flag, a nation shall have claimed the area within a radius of 25km.
4. For all bodies, upon the successful landing of a permanent base with 4 or more personnel, a nation shall have claimed the area within a radius of 75km plus 12.5km per additional crew member.
5. For Kerbin, upon the successful landing of a permanent base with 8 or more personnel, a nation shall mark out their new claim on the regular Kerbin map.

About to have a match of Kerbal warfare, made up a few units:

Spaceplane stuff:
Adder MKI:

Spoiler:

Light Aerospace interceptor, VTOLs, low stall speed, ok manoeuvrability

Adder MKII

Spoiler:

Aerospace fighter, VTOLs, better manoeuvrability but lower top speed than the MKI

SHARK

Spoiler:

Big aerospace frigate, VTOLs, Slow as shit, turns like shit, huge payload.

Launchpad stuff:

Light bomber thing

Spoiler:

Space worthy bomber

FIghter thing

Spoiler:

Goes like stink, drops nuclear reactor

That frigate only stays up in the sky as long as there's fuel...you got parachutes, mate?

Yeah, but the fuel in this case does last a while, modified some of the engines to allow more freedom with creating units

Next up, Airborne Aircraft Carrier.

[Tell]

So I play KSP but haven't really been involved in all of these threads. What do you guys do in here? (other then talk about KSP)

[Prototype]

Next up, Airborne Aircraft Carrier.

Attempts so far have been unsucessful.

Space carrier would be easier, assuming I could get it up there.

I approve of thiz use of LLL, looks badS.

Yeah, the problem with airborne carriers is that you can't control multiple crafts at once.

[Error]

I made a Mirage lookalike thing.

Spoiler:

Surprisingly maneuverable.
