KSP - Making One of The BIGGEST SSTOs EVER!

[@smooneychad]

What type of mission should I do with the SSTO? :D

[@BusterBrannan]

you killed it with this video

[@kaihenthe]

1 ssto every planet? (no refueling and u bring everything u need for ur mission as a payload or go payloadless)

[@Fireheart318]

When you need to carry an entire freight train into orbit in one go

[@jamardurrant4487]

You know the rocket is ridiculus when in the intro it litterally has 2 saturn vs, strapped to its fuselage....

[@walter7825]

holy shit, months of work to deliver probably the dumbest payload imaginable into orbit is the most kerbal thing ever

[@genericfakename8197]

Dear God....my computer is overheating in sympathy and I'm watching this on my phone.

[@rebel6301]

"ayo get i get some payload?" "only an ssto-full" *pulls out comically large ssto*

[@Astronauts777]

Holy Jesus, you could carry 2 sea dragons

[@vanlaukaus]

nice! working on a superheavy 2100 part cargo spaceplane right now as well and, having also already made a 2200+t to orbit ssto, I praise your patience with this one!

[@smooneychad]

Thanks, few truly know the struggle of making giant stock crafts! Also can't wait to see what you're working on, this pales in comparison to some of your creations!

[@kaihenthe]

i see the fact u make overcomplicated vessels, i am now a subscriber cause of that as one of the 3.3K subs, wish ya best of luck

[@aidan9411]

The XB-70 is my favorite aircraft of all time

[@only1thatmakessense]

5 hours to orbit, wow

[@natemiller6089]

when you need to carry an xb-70 in the cargo bay, simply make xb-7000

[@NickyLunaLove]

I can hear your PC screaming from here

[@elkermino]

He big

[@smooneychad]

One could perhaps say even large!

[@rebel6301]

chunky fella

[@stvka]

How did you build outside of the hangar?

[@smooneychad]

the Hanger Extender Extended mod very very useful for big stuff!

[@stvka]

@@smooneychad Tysm! I’ve been looking for something to construct my space stations with before I launch them.

[@ArclampSDR]

the XB-1000?

[@smooneychad]

I missed an opportunity naming it this!

[@mastasolo]

How much ram did you need to run this

[@smooneychad]

Idk what the minimum amount would be but I'm running 64gb which is slight overkill, no game crashes though!

[@wxb200]

It would be cool if these behemoths could be rasterized so the game can run smoother... There's a thought...

[@LegendaryGodKing]

Weld the craft into one piece... would help so much

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

Procedural wings mod would cut the parts down for a craft like this monumentally, as well as allow you to hold some fuel in the wings so you need less fuel tanks. There really should be a weld-together mod though that would trick the game into thinking the whole thing is one part.

[@LegendaryGodKing]

The ksp2 wings don't hold any fuel and I hate this.

[@Zacharysharkhazard]

@@LegendaryGodKingI haven’t played KSP2 yet as I have a mac, but I hope that’s a feature that is reworked in future releases cus that’s lame

[@smooneychad]

Building a even bigger SSTO with P-wings sounds like a great idea! Gotta get the whole KSC into LKO

[@Charles-7]

your planning something this big in your latest ksp modded series?

[@smooneychad]

Probably not to this scale because of how long it takes to launch but I’ll definitely be making some ones very soon close to this! Then again getting THAT much payload into LKO with a plane may be too valuable for me not to do eventually!

[@Charles-7]

@@smooneychad well i know you mentioned something about a mission to another system besides kerbol, so seeing a plane almost as large as this would be cool, more if you add refueling in LKO as part of that mission.

[@assyndao390]

there is no mod list🙁

[@smooneychad]

Sorry about that! The only gameplay mod was Kerbal Joint Reinforcement, Kerbal Engineer. The visuals on the prettier scenes were the usual Scatterer, Volumetric Clouds (Blackrack patreon), TUFX, Planetshine, HUDreplacer with Naztheme for the UI. The main ascent parts of the video had nothing but KJR and my camera mods

[@Kurosaka]

how did your pc not *K A B O O M* itself

[@smooneychad]

My poor laptop was only getting be on a 64gb ram upgrade (and many hours of waiting lol)

[@YICHEN-k8h]

Oh no.

[@austinkissling9036]

the only problem with ksp is rigidity. ive never seen a rocket in real life wobble without fake ass auto struts.
