in one piece

can this thing make it from kerbin all the way to duna without adding extra stuff?

slight issue, It appears on its side with the tip in the hanger wall. when i try to grab it, the whole ship basicaly phases into the wall and i cant get it out.

"also, i challenge you to try to launch the whole thing in one piece, or just do it the normal way and launch it in parts like i did because doing the whole thing would have CRASHED my computer XD, or just somehow put it into space another way you like"

Hmmm... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED (unless my computer cant handle it or its out of date :P)

what is the round ring

downloaded and flown as in.. well like i think almost all other ws builds, you can just fly it immediatley...
hmm.. i didnt phrase that correctly, but yes, all four sections are available on my ws, each with their launcher attatched.

@Kyle, i have the launchers for all four sections that can be downloaded and flown.

can you make a version with the launcher

@Jacob ty bro

@djspenser707 you can press ALT+F12 to open cheats and do the set orbit right as it loads

@Jacob im new to ksp lol, how do i cheat it into orbit? Is there a tutorial video or anything i can watch

@djspencer707, this is a display, supposed to be cheated into orbit. HOWEVER, there are the launchers for the individual sections on my workshop too..
@gaming yes, you can. just dont reupload

cant even launch it because its set sideways

hey @jacob can we modify this mothership but not reupload it to workshop

@Minah42 very impressive, the ring doesnt spin

launched the whole thing in one piece! How do you make the ring spin (does it even spin?) @Jacob

@Subject Zero X, it is in the sph since it was easier to build, but i do have the launchers for each section uploaded.

Why did you build it like it was a plane???

I made a collection called "Jacob's pure stock large motherships" and i have put this ship and a few others in the collection

@Kirafam i see... i didnt know that could happen lol

it was a physics mod ruining it

@Kirfam, do you have autostruts enabled?

it fell apart in orbit

the ship wont show up in the tracking station. Whats going on?

@CovenantSlayer lol

Only thing missing is a forward-facing air pressure thruster powered by a makeshift bomb.

@Sophia Makoto, thanks!
I know a trick for launching the rings easier, is launching with the ring section in the middle of the rocket, the fuel tanks of the second stage go around the center of the ring, so it doesnt need to flip around. that brings the center of drag closer to the middle, and add huge wings to the bottom.
The ring section i have on the workshop is an example

The ring looks so nice. Do you have any tips on designing ring stations? I've done a few myself, but they're always so hard to launch.

ok first to hire nasa enginer

@SpikiestMass, i do have a very large launcher for the engine block, it launches the engine block fully fueled, and when the lifter runs out, use the main engines to finish getting it into orbit.
the ship is in four sections, and i have the launchers for each part on the workshop

I personally - when it comes to ksp - prefer not to download things and just use it. Mainly because don't learn anything. Anyway, I'm assuming the engine "block" launches in one piece and refueled. Otherwise how does the seperate engine "blocks" work perfectly semmetrical. The reason why I ask is because I tried something like this a long time ago on a smaller scale and the craft should of worked, but yeah

looking good

why the fuck do we always have to get political?

i think this ukropean fuck(just slavic name) will cost much less than doshirak

@Cyka Blyat typical lazy commie

@galaxy its supposed to be assembled in orbit using multiple launches

@Cyka Blyat, i sometimes refer to it as a mobile space station lol

@Unicorn Man_Puppet, dont worry, nothing is excessive in Kerbal Space program! lol

My ships just look like something off a kids shirt sooooooooo I have to fill the void with cool steam ships lol anyway love it and i'm going to see how far I can make it go

I dunno, seems a LITTLE excessive for Duna. Subscribed nonetheless

also for Career it would take me some time to get the parts and money soo i just file edited my save lol

i Dont Use this For Duna I use it as an space station

this is SWEET

"also, this ship was kinda inspired by the ship from the Martian" I thought it looked like the Hermes

That looks like an awesome interplanetary cruise ship, m8.

Looks better than any mothership I build.

77i

Ok, very nice job.

thanks charlie.boothe!

yep... in Career when i had 12mil, this ship cost like 5mil to launch lol

I agree with Ve2. Also, I love "The Martian" inspiration!
