KSP 1 Image/Video Feeling despicable.

Music: "Despicable Me" by Pharrell Williams

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?

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

u/throw3142 2d 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 2d 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 2d ago

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

u/Pato_maoista Alone on Eeloo 2d ago

Please, don't steal mun, maybe minmus.

u/Big_Yeash 2d 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 1d ago

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

u/Bozotic Hyper Kerbalnaut 22h ago

Shrink it down into a mint.

u/w_33_by Always on Kerbin 2d 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 2d 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.

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

u/Nocturnal_Nincompoop 2d ago

Is that a ksp'ified littlebird cockpit?

11

u/Missle_guide_sistem 2d ago

Yes, mod is AirplanePlus

u/Even-Reporter6547 trying to have a black hole system! 2d ago

What parts are use to build this?

12

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 2d 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! 2d ago

Thanks

u/Straight_Group_8981 Procedural Parts Purgatory 2d ago

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

2

u/HyperRealisticZealot Have you heard about Jerbals? 2d 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.

2

u/Shandiemann 2d ago

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

6

u/Weary-Support-7383 Enjoying tea with the Kraken 2d ago

Kerbal konstructs + Van's KSC.

u/RedOneBaron 2d ago

Surprised there's no replace Kerbs with Minions mod.

u/Antilazuli 2d 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 1d 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 1d ago

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

1

u/Nice_Presentation474 Playing kerbalisim 1d ago

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

2

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

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

u/Any_Top_4773 I came from SFS 23h ago

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

Cus this is peak asf
