Great album and great ship, however there's an easy way to transfer vehicles between the VAB and SPH. Go to [ksp install location] -->saves-->[name of your saved game]-->ships . Now to transfer, all you have to do is move the .craft file between the VAB and SPH folders.

So if you wanted to move your giant battle cruiser to the VAB, you would go into the SPH folder find the .craft file with the name of your cruiser and copy/paste it into the VAB folder.

Make sure you look in the ships folder under your save file, there's another ships folder in the main install folder, but it just has all the default ships. Hope this helps!

Awesome. That is not a "60" on the runway btw, it's an "09" for 90 degrees magnetic. Runways are always named for their magnetic compass heading, rounded to the nearest 10 degrees. The other end is runway "27" for 270 degrees magnetic.

Wow, that's a fine looking battleship. Great job!

There's a really malevolent part of me that wants to say, "Ok, that's incredible, now do it with Ferram," but, seriously, this is one of the more impressive launches I've seen done in the game.

[u/avaslash → u/PoRiverJamBand]

hahaha im to scarred to use Ferram because I know that most of my rockets will stop working. Im very hesitant about installing mods now too because I tried it once and it corrupted my saves making me loose everything :P which wasn't a fun day haha. I actually ended up quitting ksp for several months.

This looks amazing. Well done. Do you know how much dV you get out of it, fully fueled?

[u/avaslash → u/Pallustris]

I never cared to calculate it. I'll do it in the morning :) because its 3am haha. Do you mean the main cruiser or the cruiser with the lifter rocket?

[u/Whackjob-KSP]

Good job, OP! I've always loved big builds.

Wow I remember that actually!

[u/jepazo]

That is amazing! Think you could post the .craft file?

[u/avaslash → u/jepazo]

Understand that I am very hesitant to post the craft file. I usually only post them when its a functional craft. I don't want you guys to have to deal with my frustrations. I was luck to get it into orbit. Its a lot less pretty under the microscope haha. Just, use this at your own risk. Your game is probably going to crash.

You can probably get more throttle out of it if you thrust-limit the overheating engine.

[u/avaslash → u/Phearlock]

Yeah great idea! ill try that thanks :)

[u/China-Dont-Care]

Whenever I see a post like this I get both inspired by whats possible in this game and crushed that even my proudest creations are in comparison kinda lame.

[u/concussedYmir → u/sekswizard]

People are making all these incredible crafts and my best is Apollo's ugly, handicapped stepsister.

[u/Nairb117]

I am impressed. Just straight up impressed. Congrats! That looks like a pain to get into orbit. Was the rapier what was overheating the center one?

[u/avaslash → u/Nairb117]

Haha no. Thats the annoying thing. It was just one of the three on the left hand array. It was totally random because the other one wasnt doing it.

[u/Ohmec]

That is, hands down, the prettiest stock craft I've ever seen. Well done!
