Mooncrasher's things (or: buggy adventures in Beta)

Thanks.

Working on a station, have 4 variations on a 4 way node.
Which ones do you all like best?

Second from top to bottom

One vote for that one, I see.
It was a tweak of the node underneath it, I wasn't sure if placing those horizontal fairings a block closer together made the thing look more cluttered.

Also, large-ish drone, also no-clip like the nodes above.

What I've been working on this week...
New shuttle, and iterating on it. Oldest to newest.
Any further improvements you can suggest?

 

[Marmilo]

You can try elongation

 

[Pink]

Thanks.
Especially with the rear part?

Additionally, trying something different. Escape pod!

 

[Pink]

I think I'll work on a launchpad that can refurb a rocket.
Ideally it would use shuttles, but I need to work my way up there first!
I'll probably put these on the flat ground between VAB and the SFS launchpad.

For now, just a quick check of how far flame plumes go, so I don't burn anything.

I direct you here: Part Info
Looking forward to your facility

 

[Pink]

Nice, I especially like the deployment speeds summarised.

Me when accidentally land in the VAB.
Also this wouldn't have been possible without the 400°C temperature resistance

Start of some form of reusable system with a rocket inspired by Stoke Space.

A rather nice first stage landing as part of the second operational flight.
This is with the V3(?) launch complex, I've been busy. I'm hoping to make a video of an entire flight, end-to-end.

fucking awesome.

At some point I should just start work on a booster OMFG.

Do it.

 

[Pink]

Booster prototype v0.1
Still working out the best configuration and methods of reusing for something like this.

might need a few redesigns but the booster is good

In addition to the booster (it's now heavier, longer, more powerful and better balanced, but essentially the same kind of construction) I'm working on ground infrastructure for loading the previously mentioned shuttle.
It will require modifications to the cargo bay and surrounding, but hopefully nothing too severe.
Task 1, open and close an empty payload bay, is now complete.
Task 2 is be able to dock it in the open position.
Task 3 will be the most difficult one, driving a craft into the payload bay with (ideally) a 100t payload.

I'm likely reinventing the wheel, but I'm having fun doing so.
