THE GREAT EXPERIMENT in KSP
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 вер 2024
- My friends ... the great experiment. An attempt to build a large SSTO freighter. fully fueled it would even be able to go to other worlds. But it will have to wait for now as the time needed to complete such a craft could be days or even weeks. Hope you enjoy!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS :
1. When do you upload videos? - I make videos as often as I can.
2. What do you do for a living? - I work a full time construction job plus any overtime I can get.
3. Where can I download the craft file? - No downloads as of yet. I don't have the time, but these videos are meant for you to be inspired to build your own crafts.
4. WHY isn't the video in ULTRA REALISTIC SUPER HIGH DEFINITION? Because unlike your rich ass that can afford a KILLER PC, I have to use what little money I have, to make sure that there's a roof over my head and food on the table before I can spend it on things like CPUs and GPUs.
Thank you.

THE CHANNEL:
This channel is about Kerbal Space Program and can consist of SSTO building tutorials and rocket building tutorials. Some times the videos contain bad language and adult humor but on a low level. In these videos no planet is safe as we can explore space together by landing on places like Duna and Jool and build large Duna colonies or orbital space stations. Also, Interplanetary SSTO builds seem to be a hot topic in the KSP community so I will be touching on those as well. I also build SSRT space craft. These are fun to build and easy to fly! Warships or space warships are one of my favorite things to make. Stock weapons can be very challenging and so when building them over time , you get to see the evolution of the designs. Same thing with the Warships. They get better and better with each new design.
Now , I know it's considered cheating but Kraken drives are a fun way to put things like warp drive ( like in Star Trek ) and or hyper drives ( like in Star Wars ) in your Kerbal space program game. These game mechanic loopholes are fun to figure out as you find out how they work and how to incorporate them into your star ship design.
Everything from Outposts on far away moons and Mining Stations around asteroids and comets, you name it I've ether built it or it's on my to do list! I still haven't really explored things like building SpaceX starship or any of the NASA spacecraft, and I think that's because it been done to many times. Recreations of spacecraft can be found almost everywhere on UA-cam now and so making yet another one seem redundant. Only if the spacecraft recreation is of one that I loved as a kid will I even attempt to build it. Like the Apollo Moon Lander, or the whole Apollo rocket! Now that rocket was cool!
Many people have ask me if I'm ever going to wear my Mandalorian helmet ever again for my videos. And , yes. when the time is right, and I get a new wabcam, I will be dawning the helmet once more!
Thank you everyone! ... This is the way.
#ssto #vtol #ksp
This guy. Not only does he do great videos, he promotes others. Very noble, sir.
He’s also knowledgeable with homeworld. Truly a man of exquisite culture.
Beautiful looking machine, it’s a shame it didn’t quite come together. 😢
It's him! The pastry descent vehicles!
Hi cupcake!
I think you also deserve a shout-out from vaos!
It’s great to see you buddy! Hope your piloting adventures are going well. Maybe build it in ksp and talk about it? Can’t wait! 😁
VTOL looks amazing, I've never been able to build a big ship like this
TCA mod is a great helper for VTOL ;)
The orca is a great name
This definitely feels like a good ship too bad it doesn’t have enough fuel as of yet.
Can’t wait to see how it evolves
Hey bud! :)
@@manicpanda8741 Hey there, hope all is well. It was great to see you get a shout out!
The fact that ksp 1 can run with this craft where as ksp 2 flops with a normal rocket. Overall I can see many great missions being achieved with this craft, it will be interesting to see where this concept takes you.
Nice concept. Hopefully we will see it developed into an actual usable craft.
For All Kerbal Kind is not limited to N9. It is an alternate history collaboration series between N9, Beardy Penguin and Carnasa . N9 plays the US while Beardy plays the Soviet Union and Carnasa plays ESA.
And they do this using Realism Overhaul. Doing anything in RO is a daunting achievement, but they're created an entire space race.
Y'know... I've seen Stratzenblitz75 make craft LIKE this. But even he has to compromise by having them have extra Booster and fuel packs. He got an entire Heli-carrier (yes - like the Avengers SHIELD Helicarrier) to Laythe and had it hovering indefinitely in the skies of Laythe. But he had to have an almost ridonkulously huge set of rube goldberg-esque fuel tankage and extra engines to make it work. And that's NOT what you're after.
Maybe more instructive would be the GIANT Submarine he lifted to Laythe under it's own power with no extra tankage. But even THERE it required a stop at Minmus for a long extraction and refuel op.
This design and the concept of what its job could be is fun as heck, hope the Kraken is nice to ya and lets the dream come true!
(thanks for the shoutout too, totally unexpected ♥)
Props to anyone who mentions Homeworld... the best 3d RTS game ever made.
Also - have you considered the B9 XL part set? This is a subset of the classic B9 Aerospace parts that features GIGANTIC single parts that might help you cut down on the part count while still allowing you to build something HUGE like what you are going for. It's a part set almost purpose made for making things like Macross or Battlestar Galactica scale ships. I've rarely seen anybody REALLY GO FOR IT and try to make something practical with that part set. But if anyone MIGHT make it work, it might be you!
I know Vaos prefers strictly 100% stock, and even uninstalled two visual mods to maintain this. But, for the sake of mental health, using XL parts to make an XL vessel makes sense to me. This vessel isn't being entered in any competition, and sharing the craft file would only require installing a single mod. Good idea Logan!
stock parts only 😎
@@vaos3712 I respect it. 👍😎
Using tweakscale and editing the default scale on parts to smaller numbers allows game breaking sizes
that thing looks like it would be easy to convert into an aircraft carrier with a lift to store planes in the lower decks
Glad to see a star trek reference in the first 10 seconds, that's how you know it's a good video
Looks super cool, maybe make the whole floor move? Like a giant carrier elevator.
Now I want to hop in Space Engineers and make something like this, or in Starship EVO. I want to see this one fly though!
This is interesting for sure. Like a Roll-On-Roll-Off for space. Perhaps in needs . . .
A Booster
This ship is already unreal, your construction skills are unmatched VAOS, thankyou for sharing this amazing design, I can't wait to see where you go with this!
Looks like something I've been trying and failing to build, but without my partcount saving techniques.
I like the aesthetic of a sleek vehicle that becomes strapped with ugly fuel canisters in order to salvage the design. it makes it seem more realistic and relatable to actual vehicles created IRL. Weigh this thing down with tons and tons of huge fuel containers that turn it into an absolute behemoth please.
My suggestion for helping it work, nacelles. Front nacelles could help your thrust problem, and if you have the patience to make it work, use robotic parts to rotate the nacelles. You’ll have less lifting engines being dead weights during ascent and the extra power to push through the atmosphere, at the cost of dealing with robotics
Helicarrirer vibes too, I can imagine a similar design, but with rotating engines so as to cut the engine requirements in half
Therapist: US Space Force Carrier doesn't exist, it can't hurt you.
The US Space Force Carrier:
I really hope KSP2 will eventually allow to make ships of sizes like this without the game turning into a powerpoint presentation or glitching out like crazy.
Oof. Only if we knew how that would turn out a year ago
@@alexc9434 I was very afraid KSP2 could turn out to be a pump-and-dump, I wish I hadn't been right... well. Who knows, maybe a few fans will keep the game alive (Neocron is still around after all as well)... or someone actually picks up the rights and finishes the game.
oh neat, you went off of a Bishop Troop Transport from Homeworld 2, i love those ships a lot
The ship would probably be named after one of the current U.S air force cargo crafts like "Son of ____"
wow, im honestly surprised you managed to make that thing fly
I came back to this video JUST for the clip "my friends, the Great Experiment" and then the ship just exploding.
Your design is still doable, even moreso, the original one without the VTOL. You're basically trying to do a horizontal launch, but you need to think of it more as a space shuttle, and you need a large amount of rockets and boosters for this to work. You can always jettison them later. A good rule to remember is that you need a solid thrust to weight ration, and 2 to 1, 2 pounds of thrust for every 1 pound of weight. Start there, and work up to a 3,4, or 5 to 1 ratio if need be. What makes your ship look ugly now can always be jettisioned later.
You can still do this!
Excellent concept. Let's see it fly!
Your aesthetic builds inspire me
This could be useful for the “Colonise the solar system” series. Man I miss those!
I already tried to make something similar a little smaller, it seemed pretty impossible to get it out of the atmosphere, so I tied two huge rockets on the sides to send it to space and it turned into an incredible spaceship.
Beautiful ship I didn’t even think of lining up the mk3 cabins like that :)
It looks sooooo awesomeeee, it reminds me of the two rangers from interstellar, this could be a lighter one (for landings in duna, lathye or other moons) and another bulkier version could be designed for kerbin and similar. Of course, in that case this one would need another lanch system to help it get to orbit... interestinggggggg
man i wish they would let you make your own cargo bays out of cargo walls/doors so you could custom fit what ever you want in it.
Hi :) I like your channel
@@fRiX15 appreciate it!
Gotta love when you find a brand new interesting video and then slightly glance down at a comment that reveals a lot about the end result of the video that you just started watching.
That ship looks amazing. AltF12 that puppy in a space doc.
Props for the Home world reference! Pumped for Home world 3!
Looks like something out of Homeworld! I love it 🤩
Just realized you used it in your design decision, I guess an edit would be ** it really looks like something out of Homeworld…**
Im a massive fan of non Single Stage spaceplanes. Everythibg from drop tanks, oxidizer canisters, sabre style staged lifters you name it
The space aircraft carrier!
Looks amazing, as usual
for the doors you could use docking ports. make it so that they dock when the door closes and undock when you want to open it. that is how i usually keep moving parts solid when i want to. also maybe a rocket trajectory would be better for this ship? (basically straight up) using a more shallow angle is usually only good for ships that use lift and/or airbreathing engines and both are not the case here. i think put a few more engines at the front to flip the nose up and then activate main engines. lastly using propellers to get off the ground might be a good idea?
Damn that's one pretty looking ship.... Reminds me of the old Macey Dean designs from back in the day. Awesome!
Are you sure using an SSTO trajectory is ideal for Vector engines? You could pernaps try more of a rocket-like trajectory (although there would be a lot of drag). Putting the engines on swivels could help with that if you transition mid flight, but then you wouldn't be able to have the awesome recessed bays for them. Really cool craft and I hope you manage to get it to orbit!
cool af, can't wait to see it fully functional
This SSRT reminds me of a youtuber who made a 31000 ton craft in ksp
with the robotic parts, always put them in dumping 0 if you want them to stay still and don't wobble
You could call it Alba Cetus/Albus Cete, latin for "White Whale", colloquially known as Moby Dick by the kerbonauts and engineers.
Also, could make it a "Leviathan Class" ship to maintain the sea monster theme.

Nobody:
Some sussybaka: “My friends, The Great Experiment!”
_ship implodes_
It's like flying battlestar Galactica through the atmosphere. It filed exactly like it did ;)
Hey @VAOS,
An idea for the doors, use a docking port on the roof of the vehicle where the door closes and the on the door. It and holds it in place. only down side is when you try to ground load it can get in the way. would love to see this craft get to space!
If you want usability and aesthetics, get some fusion engines from a mod my man 😉.
Unless you want to keep it stock for the challenge, I guess that's half the fun.
stock parts only 😎
i still don't understand how you can do such big things in just a couple of days, and you have a work too!
Nice ship. You might be able to gain some delta V by perhaps using some air breathing engines.
tried, thrust is too weak 😢
@@vaos3712 What if you combine rockets and airbreathing engines? So it augments rapiers with rockets until it gets up to enough speed that they do have enough thrust, wouldn't be as efficient as just using the airbreathing engines but might still get you some gains
@@warriorsabe1792 still to weak. to heavy for jets to be any good. 🙁
That ship/spaceplane or whatever looks extremely good in the thumbnail
it kinda looks like a "leopard" dropship from battletech
For mass auto strut and for custom angles, you should use editor extensions mod
Besides The Perfect Large Hero Jet That Can go Anywhere
This But More Ship Carrierisk Is My Dream In KSP Life
Good job !
In Kerbal, it always pays to strut your stuff.
parts connected to robotics can be autostrut’d to the rest of a craft if the robotics are locked
Bro made a space aircraft carrier
Great concept thanks love your video
Omg. I was mentioned by our cult leader himself. I'm passing out thanks buddy, that means a lot to me ❤
By the way, NickB - you find him here in the comments - helped me a big deal with the sound designs
😁
I used to build a lot of these kinds of craft back in the day, I usually used the biggest air breathing engine (Forgot the name) for the Vtol since I usually only took of and landed on kerbin.
And many other bodies without air will have less gravity
"were gonna need a bigger boat"
К звездам, товарищи!
Looks really cool.
You could replace most of the crew quarters with fule
Damn all of that Star Trek references were just 🔥
I love the design bro
brother you should play highfleet with those ship designs
This would work much easier as a space shuttle (with sls) than an ssto
The bigger it gets, the heavier. The heavier it gets, the more fuel needed. The more fuel you need, the bigger it gets. This could go on for a while.
Would suggest to look at the Skynet VTOLs from the terminator games remember there being a few designs you might like to look at
Very cool. I love that you threw some light on other builders
Saw the thumbnail and all I could think of was highfleet. lol
This is a really cool design. Shame it didn't work as you intended.
Maybe replace some of the crew compartments with Mk3 fuel tanks?
The rocket equation strikes again.
looks like the VTOL helicarrier from Marvel lol
Could add some docking port anti gravity
I like bro. You spend a lot of time on it. Good job. Good job.
Epic seeming VAOS (first time seeing a VAOS video) shout N9 (of which i am a long time fan)
Unfortunately for practicality's sake, space vehicles like this would require being constructed already in orbit.
Autostrut every part!
3:12 😎
8:20 What the fudge?! No, don't come to my channel! The disappointments! Spare yourself the disappointments! I cannot live with these great expectations!
🤣
Why did you use *passenger modules* for the basis of your design? Of all the mark 3 options, it’s the least useful to you. Why not use fuel tanks, or cargo modules? Both would serve you better
That thing is epic!!
I have a question for you to think about Halo Reach. How did they launch the ship in the shipyard? Maybe the answer help you save fuel
Your failures are vastly more inspiring and interesting than my successes in KSP! In any event, nicely done! 🖖😀
Q: How many parts does it have? A: Yes
a lot 😅
The name Orca works for me, but... how about Pelican?
man... it makes me feel a certain way that there are people THIS good at building, and yet due to the limitations of the game it just isn't possible...
Do U think it might work if it would use futuristic engines like dark matter engines or something exotic like that
sure it would, but i only use stock parts 😎
O ok well that makes sense I love your content bro hope u come up with a solution
how about mk2 hull as a small size replica
Space Ark! 😱😁😆🤪🤣👍👍🇺🇲
Hey VAOS, I have a question/suggestion.
If building it in segments and attaching all the segments together didn't work, and the noodle type way took a whole bumch of struts and autostruts but was better, what happens if you do spaghetti starting from the middle and expand in both directions?
Here's a thought ..... lifting bodies
A ship that large needs to be launched from the mun or low kerban orbit.
