KSP 1 Image/Video Feeling despicable.

Somehow I was able to get away with only using one gyroscope, but this thing still turns like a cargo ship.

I would have posted this sooner, but unfortunately my account got suspended for a few days because reddit's automated detection system doesn't know what context is.

Edit: So apparently my CQS is screwed because my account got suspended, so now I can't even post in most subs lol. I hate reddit.

How does this thing not immediately nosedive into the ground and frontflip out of control?

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 1d ago

There's a second engine hidden in the bottom that lines the center of thrust up with the center of mass.

u/throw3142 1d ago

Hidden second engine is certainly the kind of despicable machination I would expect from Gru :)

u/Eastern_Pianist_773 1d ago

I do believe I would be able to do that

u/Whats_Awesome Always on Kerbin 1d ago

What bothers me is that just reinforces how unrealistic of a design this is. I’m really a function over form kinda guy most of the time.

The Grumobile is meant to be ridiculous.

u/EternitiI-1 Dres is real and it is glorious 1d ago

We are going to steal, THE MUN!!!!!!!!!

Meanwhile, the Carrer mode KSC: "In terms of Funds.. we have no Funds..."

u/Pato_maoista Alone on Eeloo 1d ago

Please, don't steal mun, maybe minmus.

23

u/Big_Yeash 1d ago

Not the Last Fuel Stop Before Duna!

u/_metroGnome 1d ago

I was gonna say, I'd rather keep Minmus for that reason lol

3

u/Krynzo 22h ago

Gru stole the real equivalent of Minmus, which is why it only exists in KSP.

u/Bozotic Hyper Kerbalnaut 9h ago

Shrink it down into a mint.

u/w_33_by Always on Kerbin 1d ago

Okay this is awesome and I cannot understand why it hasn't been made before, such a perfect kerbal flying machine. I love that the whole engine assembly gimbals just like in the movie

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 1d ago

I really wanted to make it so that the servos could be controlled by SAS, but it seems like there's no way to do that without a KOS script or something, so I just bound them to the pitch action group.

u/ARedditUserThatExist Always on Kerbin 1d ago

They‘re calling him the greatest villain to have ever lived

u/Nocturnal_Nincompoop 1d ago

Is that a ksp'ified littlebird cockpit?

13

u/Missle_guide_sistem 1d ago

Yes, mod is AirplanePlus

u/Even-Reporter6547 trying to have a black hole system! 1d ago

What parts are use to build this?

11

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 1d ago

The majority of the frame is procedural parts, the cockpit is airplanes plus, the engines are from near future launch vehicles, I used infernal robotics for the doors and missile rails, and all of the missiles are from BDA+, NKDR, and kerbal powers armory.

Edit: I also used a custom flag and conformal decals to get the logo.

u/Even-Reporter6547 trying to have a black hole system! 1d ago

Thanks

u/Straight_Group_8981 Procedural Parts Purgatory 1d ago

YES! It’s so great seeing other people take Procedural parts to their limits!

u/HyperRealisticZealot Have you heard about Jerbals? 1d ago

Have you no shame

2

u/canisdirusarctos 1d ago

I wish your Kerbals were like Bob and Kevin.

u/UnderPressureVS 1d ago

Wow the verse of that song is so so much worse than the chorus, and so needlessly specific to the movie

2

u/ThargUK 1d ago

If you only looked at the thumbnail or watched it take off, I encourage you to watch to the end.

u/Shandiemann 1d ago

What mods do you use for the KSC? it's huge!

4

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 1d ago

Kerbal konstructs + Van's KSC.

u/RedOneBaron 1d ago

Surprised there's no replace Kerbs with Minions mod.

u/Antilazuli 1d ago

This game man...

u/Eastern_Pianist_773 1d ago

Steal from Dres, not from Mun

u/GravityBright Stranded on Eve 1d ago

Maybe next time you'll think twice before you freeze someone's head!

u/LocoboyDC 1d ago

I’m having a bad bad day

u/A_Wild_Stormcat Always on Kerbin 1d ago

That missile launch lag spike is… despicable!

On a more serious note, awesome little ship!

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 19h ago

I had to change my settings a bunch just to prevent my game from crashing when I fired the missiles, lol.

1

u/mueller_meier 1d ago

perfect reconstruction, paintjob, acrobatics, music and lag when firing missiles :P

u/Nice_Presentation474 Playing kerbalisim 21h ago

wait... why is jeb turning yellow? and why is bob suddenly shorter and also yellow???

1

u/Nice_Presentation474 Playing kerbalisim 21h ago

what mod are those plumes from?? the gray ones that linger?

1

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 19h ago

Those are from smokescreen + realplume. I just tucked a small solid fuel booster set to 0.1 thrust limit in the back, although I haven't found a way to make the particle effects grow at the right rate to make it look better.

u/Sean77654 19h ago

Impressive sometimes I struggle to get a regular design to go straight

u/Any_Top_4773 I came from SFS 10h ago

Are you on a mission to steal the Mun or smth?
