i haven't even download it and it looks good shout out to whoever made it

but very laggy, my computer hates it

looks like something out of star wars lol
epic

@jacob i tried but it did not work

@Lord of Abyss, there is a launcher for this ship
@swisroll 2012, Im not sure what could cause that
@BT-7274, that sounds like an issue with the game, not the ship, but you can use the launcher for it to get it to orbit.

ALT+f12 does not work idk why

i cant load it into the hangar i press load and it doesn't

How i can launch it on orbit?

I really like the Ship, I can Smuggle- I mean Transport stuff here and there in Ion Style. (Really good Ship, Congrats!)

@swimspud, thanks!

this is a really cool ship, great job! I may try and make one in my game as well

Or.... you could build it in space with a specific mod...

@Get Hawk'd, i used the ALT+F12 debug menu to set the craft into space

How do you start in space?

@Jacob Thank you very much!

@Myghael, hopefully. im going to try to make them stack nicely

@Jacob Will it also stack so nicely with this ship? :)

@Myghael, im going to try to build a shuttle that is very similar in size, but can actually work

@Jacob Can you add a picture of them from the bottom? When I used structural fuselage as the part right behind the command pod, the center of gravity was too off and the R.A.P.I.E.R. was obviously only able to operate in closed cycle (rocket) mode. Also, I had to launch it vertically as trying to take off from the runway would always end up in RUD (Rapid Unplanned Disassembly) - just as expected. However, not even adding landing gear fixed the issue as any landing gear likely to be present on your pictures made the shuttle jump left and right (until RUD). When I cheated it into the air, it wasn't able to fly level even at speeds exceeding 200 m/s.
Then I cheated it into orbit - docking it with the ship was very hard, which is obvious because there aren't any RCS thrusters on your pictures. After undocking, it wasn't hard to get it to gentle deorbit, although I wasn't able to manage gentle enough aerobrake for the command pod to not overheat and explode at about 30 km of altitude.

@Myghael, possibly, but i didnt even test them yet lol

Awesome ship! Useless for heavy loads, but could be a good mobile fuel station. Can we also get these tiny shuttles? I'm trying to replicate them, but they just won't launch properly.

That last screenshot with the stacked "arrow spike" shaped shuttles is Siiiiick! goodjob nice looking cargo ship

点个赞

Awesome!

@arwick0430, thanks!

love the craft too

Your Builds Are awsome dude. keep up with that great work

i just calculated that the cargoship can haul two of the xenon tank clusters (and using only its own), and it has over 5km/s of delta V.

I uploaded the launcher for the cargoship

Pretty sweet!

get the dlc and but two big helicopter rotors on top. Look, its a Chinook.

@winterguy342 cheats or a big as fuck rocket

how the hell do you get this thing to space?

@KnightErrant, you can now accelerate time when a vessel is under acceleration, you just press alt+, or alt+.
i like to think it is alt + < or alt + >.
thats how to manually activate "physical" timewarp, up to 4x

Ingeneous use of the hull shapes to make a cool looking vessel. Reminds me of my intra-stellar ship I made a few years ago.

I stay away from ion engines because you can't accelerate time while a vessel is under acceleration. That was several versions ago, though. Maybe its different.

Yeah, but it is percentage based. I know you can at least make a 3.75m ion engine. Maybe more? I've not been playing Kerbal for a couple months.

@THE KERNEL, thanks! i use that method for several things

@Tracer Bullet, huh... ok cool! is there an upper limit on the size of parts lol?

@jacob Yes, the rescaler mod I used uses some simple calculations to change the stats of whatever part you are changing proportional to the size: thrust, mass, power consumption, drag, etc.

Oh my god, you genius man. You reversed it so that the program would allow you to place multiple of those thrusters

I used the small nosecone, rotated them so the node faces backwards, and then i attach the ion engines onto that node

That is just impressive! how did you manage to attach all those thrusters?

you build your own launcher for this craft... but the partcount... hmm but its reallyl cool!

almost 2000 subs!

@Fander, you could use a launcher, but i cheated it into orbit for the pics. it is possible to build a launcher for this craft pretty easily

How was this ship put into orbit?

@Tracer Bullet, but then it wont be completely stock, also, does making bigger ion engines with the rescaler mod increasce thrust?

You can make a larger ion engine with rescaler mod.

Ok... it has happened with a craft that i just launched (and autosaves), when a part is not valid for some reason, and i just load the origional craft file, let it autosave again, and it was fine. try reinstalling the craft file (not the game, that is LAST resort)
