  • Ho Ho Oh no I've gone mad.
    Truly pushing the limits of KSP RSS/RO here. I thought it would be a fun idea to use a Saturn V as a tree topper... but that means an enormous tree! 600 meters tall, 180,000 tons! To launch it to Pluto takes an enormous rocket, probably the largest ever truly flown in KSP?
    Oh boy did the game really try to stop me with so many kraken attacks. But I prevailed - so here's your Christmas gift. I hope you enjoy!

    • @fork9001
      @fork9001 2 роки тому +9

      It depends on what is negligible drag and what is not, because technically if you are within earth’s sphere of influence you are experiencing some drag. The atmosphere truly ends at a few million km altitude, but drag becomes mostly negligible at ~500km. If you have a giant 1000km long aircraft, the top 3 quarters will experience much less drag than the bottom quarter.

    Amazing! Now I see how you could get a Saturn V fully fueled to Saturn! Basically just send this thing to Saturn!
    After seeing how much problems you were having launching this monstrosity, I have one mod I'd like to suggest to you, but IDK if it has a version working in the latest versions of KSP (that have stable versions of RSS/RO released for them anyways).
    UbioZor Part Welding Mod.
    It lets you weld together any number of parts that are "the same" in a broad sense. Fuel tanks, structural elements, not sure but probably engines...
    And when I say "weld", boy I mean it. The welding process requires a game restart since it literally adds a new part to the game (that is the combination of parts you wanted to weld together, but considered as a single gigantic part by the game engine, instead of multiple parts like it was before welding it).
    It should help you out massively with these gigantic payloads that are composed of many parts of widely differing sizes. The Kraken can't strike on a single part you see, no matter how massive it may be.
