KSP: Building a Space Station with Shuttles!

You should try using scifi visual enhancements, they have better performance than SVE while looking good at the same time. Useful for youtubers

As much as shuttles are nice to look at in KSP, they are a chore to fly. Not to mention that unless you use Stage Recovery and put a ton of chutes on the main tank, they are wasteful as hell. Recoverable Boosters are the way to go.

[@InitiateDee]

Actualy, you are right in regards to KSP and real life. They were basically just a failed idea by NASA.

[@jhmatrix]

Looks great though. xD

[@InitiateDee]

Quite effective.

[@VolcanicSpacePizza]

If you balance them right they can be fairly easy to fly. I've been able to develop a very well balanced shuttle type thing that's pretty casual to fly.

[@daveking4229]

It wasnt as much as failed but the never ending mission drift that made it go from cheap to fly to stupidly expensive. Its interesting to see just how far things went off original proposal to what they flew.

[@James-qd3mw]

Do a video where you build an SSTO with space stations.

[@jessegd6306]

I think there's a mod that allows you to build craft in orbit, extraplanetary launch pads I think it's called.

[@s4dg]

he did that already

[@griffins.4817]

You would send each piece up via a separate SSTO, then you would attach them together with docking ports on each of them and fly it back down to the KSC

Hey Matt, just want to say I’ve always enjoyed your vids, thank you do much for the good content :)

[@jedilordlog8543]

i made an exact replica station (not all using my shuttle ) but what i found good is the maneuvering thrusters on all the modules is that you don't need to launch a propulsion module and when i had trouble with the shuttle i could use the station instead.

[@enescankayhan8999]

Hey Lowne, if you put an OKTO to your SSTO's with 10 degree (I mean pitching degree, don't know how to tell it :/ ) reentry would be a lot easier. You just need to click "control from here" button to OKTO and set the SAS prograde vector. By this way, your shuttle will be always pitching a little up and much stable than the stability assist.

3:28 the reason it stalls very easily is because it has delta wings. Which are great for very fast speeds but it makes it stall at much higher speeds. That’s the reason that the real space shuttle had does and thats why they needed a very long runway to land and a parachute.

Simple, use nuclear rockets for landings, use Ion engines for space travelling, and LF/OX engines for taking off.

[@patrickegan8866]

Downloaded the craft file (thought it was off this vid but maybe it was another shuttle vid) and it's really hard to fly.

[@dieter2889]

[@awesomemercerdude]

Instead of clipping them into the docking arm or putting them on its surface, you could’ve put like a little tug at the other side where the docking port is, dock the front to the station, then undock the tug and either bring it to the shuttle or de-orbit it. That’s what I do, anyway.

[@kingpeppie3273]

Aren’t SSTO’s cheaper and more practical? (in KSP)

[@malnutritionboy]

KingPeppie it is cheaper and more practical in real life and in ksp

[@agustinmurat6169]

But everybody prefer space shuttles.

[@josephpayne113]

Agustin Murat not really because of space X's recoverable boosters,and the fact that the main tank is really wasteful, that it's nicknamed the "flying brick", the separation of the boosters and the main tank can cause the entire craft to blow up,coupled(ha get it coupled),with that the heat resistant panels in the bottom of the shuttle can just fly off,causing more damage to the shuttle,AND that it's actually MORE expensive than a regular rocket,so no,it's not preferred

[@agustinmurat6169]

A box o' Juice but ssto's doesn't exist. And in ksp everybody prefer space shuttle

[@josephpayne113]

Agustin Murat have you ever flown a space shuttle?do you know how finicky it can be to launch one?what about a normal probe-fairing deployed one?ever notice how smooth and stable it can be(if built correctly,although it isn't very hard).I'm just sayin.
