Kerbal Railgun: The Krakenfire
Hi Everyone!

I know, I've been quiet this week.

I've been working on something.

Ain't she pretty? That's the Krakenfire. Still working on her, but she can do some good stuffs already. Here's a video of it all in action.

Hahaha, awesome job, man. Very impressive and well thought. I might build a light drone railgun myself :)

Do it! Just keep it to about 6-10 rings of rockets, any more and it gets pretty darn unstable.

I'm thinking that if you could make 8 engines per ring it would be even more impressive,but keeping it together will be the real challenge.

Anyhoo, I'd love to see more Krakenfires, post screenies of it here if you make one!

Nice, reminds me of my own experiment with "alternate lauch systems" WAAAAAY back in...well, before version .18 at any rate. I remeber that it was pre-EVA, so we had to make do with launching whole pods, like so:

You need to set up some launch windows. Then you have something to aim at :p

I was aiming at something... the ground. I was just taking the scenic route. XD

That's insane.
You're insane.




I love it. So are Kerbals the only things that don't take 'damage' from engine exhaust? Or could you do this on a larger scale with a pod? Or even a small craft...hmmmmmmmm.

It managed to throw the computer core and the chair as well, so I assume other things can benefit from compound acceleration... but the bigger the mass of the object the more thrust required, the more thrust, the bigger the railgun.
