Leave my thread alone, dumb moderator! We continue to build spaceship.
Copy the wheel and put it on the opposite side. Oh yeah, it's fucking perfect
Do the same operation with the rest of the wheels
Fuck
We move closer to the outer wheels. Yes, now it's fine.
The platform is ready, we continue
We build turrets from square shapes from above. They will be attached to the upper wheels.
No, I did the wrong thing. Instead of reinstalling and adjusting the wheel, you can simply copy the lower form together with it and put it on the third form.
We copy the wheels to the remaining places in the same way as the lower ones. Now you can take on the frame and stuffing.
You seem so lonely it makes me feelsbadman. Love from a depressed faggot
This is cool mane
Immediately place the batteries from the bottom, so as not to remember them again. In fact, the rover will not consume very much energy, I just put how much it fit on the platform.
We put 2 forms from above, on them solar batteries and parachutes will be fixed. And yes, the same will need to be put in the center, only the size is less
solar panels*
>>724723354
Hey, wtf is this going to do?
>>724726319
Fly to Dune or die trying.
I chose this parachute because it is the largest of those that fit on this form. It will provide the necessary braking force on the descent (I hope).
>>724726666
you have already won
>>724726666
Check. Nice quads I haven't played this game and years what is Dunes is it really going to fly. will you post a video
>>724726872
During startup, I might start the broadcast. If it is needed at all.
A bit about the rover itself: it is arranged according to the principle, which in Russia is called "NEVALYASHKA". Its meaning is that he could ride even upside down with his feet. This is fucking awesome, because we will turn over often.
And yes, he needs a name! Any ideas? If you do not come up with anything better, call "NEVALYASHKA".
>>724727262
Name it, "Wheels on the bus"
Small difficulties with solar panels. In this position, only two-sided symmetry works, whereas I want to place 8 panels without too much effort. To do this, the parachute shape will have to be moved to the center for a while - then I can turn on the 8x radial symmetry and put the panels as it should.
>>724727608
No, it's not interesting. Give something harder.
No, it's not interesting. Give something harder.
The radial symmetry works, yeeey!
Brilliant!
>>724727991
you mean wheely great.
From below we put gyrodine. Gyrodine is needed to determine the position of the craft in space and to exert a small force in one direction or another (without shunting engines)
Call it "Virgin Space Program"
>>724728423
i lold
There will be an octagonal shape with all sorts of scientific shit. Above the folding antenna, I do not know why I put it there.
>>724728929
does it have cup holders?
>>724726872
Dunes is supposed to say "Duna" the counter part to mars within this game. just imagine mars with massive fucking ice caps and slightly more red.
>>724729208
Of course!
This shit takes half the platform in the unfolded state. I'll have to move it even higher.
>>724728929
is this going to land near any landmarks? perhaps the face or the rover remnants?
>>724729484
No, I put the antenna just for fun.
>>724729643
how long have you been playing?
>>724729729
Now I have 4:30 in the morning. Until I reach Mars, I guess.
In the event of the destruction of the sliding panels (and they are destroyed) we will cover the whole case with small ones.
And of course, what a rover without lights! In front there will be 3, behind 2.
And more dimensional, but it's so, for beauty.
dont think your craft is Kerbal Enough
>>724731532
Give an example of what is "enough"
Now all this needs to be fixed among themselves, otherwise the rover will fall apart. We will strengthen the pieces, called "stretch marks".
The parking lights will have to be removed, otherwise the braces are attached to them.
>>724727991
he's going to land on a planet with less air with a drogue chute
he's gonna die
>>724732377
These are trifles.
Work continues on the fasteners.
>>724732086
>>724732377
yeah, replace the orange chutes with blue ones and put some blue rectangular ones on the side
>>724732849
Trust me, i'm an engineer.
Rover is ready! We proceed to configure the elements.
>>724733139
I salute you brother
>>724733139
well i'm building mine with parachutes for rovers,probes and landers not space planes
mods don't delete your threads. lack of bumping does.
Will bump because it seems interesting but trash thread so far.
>>724733444
Oh my God, what kind of fucking monster is this? :DDD
Children's games are over, bitches, perversion begins! To begin with, weaken the braking force on the front wheels by 2 times. Thus, the rover will not jump and roll over when braking (no, theoretically, in a coup, it certainly will not happen, but why leave it as it is if you can make the construction safer?). Next, you will need to adjust the upper wheels - I do not yet know in which direction they will turn in an inverted position. Fortunately, the "invert steering" option is included in the wheel configuration for this case.
Fuck, the change in effort affects the front axle, as they relate to symmetry and are considered for one detail. I do not want to redo everything! Fuck them, with brakes, go on.
>>724734695
back axle*
Adjust the brake control. Because of my laziness, they will be arranged more primitively than I intended, but it will do so.
On 1 the brakes will turn on, on 2 - the lights.
>>724734282
too many parts are placed almost on the same level as wheels, and they will probably get damaged on an uneven surface... make a test drive on KSC
I'm rooting for you OP
>>724735316
Same
To the moon Alice!
>>724735244
No, everything will be fine. I know what I do.
>>724735316
You so cute, anon!
I need to do some tests, after which we will start building the egg.
>>724735316
ayyyy same here.
good luck op. science the fuck out of those planets.
Yes, everything works fine without inverting the top row. Continue.
>>724734282
hey dude, i built this in the hangar, not the VAB. id say for a separate hanger and an extra 40 issues to do with the hangar i did pretty well
An interesting feature was discovered: the panels refused to move, that is, they were disposable. In the management configuration there is no option of folding them, but we do not need it. They will have to give up, the rover will only eat small ones.
I think making a stable rover is more valuable than making it invertable. less weight.
done in stock
>>724736778
off-shore landing platform?
>>724736699
You're wrong, because in the opportunity to continue working after turning around and there is stability.
>>724736934
Have you ever heard of SpaceX son?
>>724737018
but when is it ever going to be flipped upside-down?
>>724737052
yeah, but it's pointless and sort of silly in KSP
nice one op
Is KSP really worth the $40? I played with the demo for a while and it's kinda mediocre.
>>724737099
He will go even upside down. To do this, you need the top row of wheels.
>>724737136
but it's badass, and that's all that matters
>>724737337
I don't see a situation where you will need the wheels on top. why would the rover flip over?
>>724737503
when you are doing sick jumps and flips obviously
We shall name it the Crashy McSplodey!
>>724737655
that's the real reason we went to the moon, isn't it? to catch the most air
>>724737503
Imagine that you are driving from a mountain, accidentally lose balance and turn over to the roof. You can not do anything else, because your rover will not be able to get back on wheels. Do you understand it now? If not, just wait for the launch and you'll see everything yourself.
This decoupler will be responsible for disconnecting the rover from the egg after passing through the plasma burnup in dense layers of the atmosphere.
>>724737503
you must be over 18 and understand that slopes can tip a vehicle over if steep enough, making a mistaken climb of a crater wall the sad end of your rover and needing to send another replacement across years of empty space
This design will not allow the rover to shake inside the egg during the flight. Let's continue.
>>724737915
>>724738046
I can think of situations where it could happen. I wouldn't think of doing it, because it's unnecessary and your payload weighs more than it needs to. if your craft is stable and you don't expect it to climb sheer cliffs, it's not going to flip over.
>>724737503
yeah, i am thinking the same ting... It will be stable enough on Kerbin, having a low center of mass. Those chutes are presuming an atmospheric landing, and the only place this design can work is Kerbin or possibly Laythe. Both having a similar gravity - so flipping is highly unlikely.
>>724738457
This is correct, but in case it does happen, the rover will be ready. I prefer stability to mass.
>>724738605
it's your rocket.
have you thought about playing with real fuels and real solar system?
>>724738693
Did not try.
>>724738841
something to look into when you get bored of the stock game. getting into orbit and travelling to other bodies is much more demanding.
Construction of eggs in the process.
Done!
>>724739346
>>724739260
that totally needed two posts.
>>724739032
not hte OP, but since we are talking about mods...
here is a mod list i ended up with, having over 1000 hours in game and trying most of the big mods out there. I stopped using mods with non-stock-alike design, as they are breaking the immersion for me...
On the bottom we put a thermal shield (we'll fall down the ass). It will protect us from overheating (plasma hell) while passing through the atmosphere.
So, but now it will be more difficult. This stage will be responsible for the thrust in space, and it will be arranged on the principle of "asparagus". I will explain: the tanks will be connected in such a way as to pour fuel into each other and shoot back as the resource is developed, thus reducing the mass of the ship. It's difficult, so I'll show you the whole picture when I'm done.
>>724739992
where are you planning to land with this?...
>>724741315
Devil knows where it will turn out.
>>724739992
>>724741315
btw, are you 100% sure that the center of mass is below the center of the "egg"? Otherwise it will go down nose-forward, and the heatshield will be useless.
The reaction-wheel is tiny, so it will not help you keeping the right direction if you mess up with the center of mass.
>>724741915
Holy shit, you're right! Now I will check the location of the center of mass of the egg.
>>724741915
Yes, it's okay. Thanks for suggesting.
>>724731731
That shit is going to tear into pieces the moment it enters duna atmosphere by phantom stress forces, way too complex for the game to handle correctly.
>>724742966
For this, there are ties.
>>724743091
Never underestimate the power of the kraken
bump
And so, I'll explain how it works: the central tank will be emptied first, supplying all 6 engines with fuel. Counting the fuel consumption, the mass will be lowered, but the power will remain the same - after all, they are still working. 6. Then the tanks 1 will begin to empty, supplying 2 and 3, respectively. Then, when the tanks 1 are empty, they will shoot, reducing the mass even more and leaving the tanks 2 and 3 FULL (important). By the same principle, tanks at number 2 will be fired. When tanks 3 are exhausted, it is implied that we will be landing on Mars. The point is that when firing off the exhausted parts, each time to provide the remaining engines with a maximum fuel, keeping the duration of the work very high - and this directly affects DeltaV. It sounds cumbersome and incomprehensible, but if you understand, it becomes easier.
The space stage is ready, you can proceed to the overclocking (there will be two of them).
>>724723354
I started engineering when I was about 6. Used to go down to this local spacecraft workshop and get into engineering battles with some of the older kids. I took a crash at first, because I was just learning. But eventually I got better and became one of the best engineers in my city.
I'm in my late thirties now and still engineering. Every now and then some youngster comes along and reminds me of myself when I was that age and I can't help but to engineer with them.
