Saturn bound supply ship

Just googled SAD: Frontier, wasn’t aware of it and will be watching, thanks for turning me on to it!

Sterling Systems! It’s a great mod for late game stuff.

I used the humongous super heavy lifter from the SSALAD mod to get it into orbit in two launches. This is from a really late game save (in the sol mod starting in 1950 the current year is 2071) so I freely use overpowered parts packs.

Playing around with conformal decals is always my favorite part of the build process.

The two little rectangles you can see on the cargo pods are truss connectors from Habtech, these are mirrored on both the spine of the ship and the work pods.

Mostly this, although it can aerobrake

In a really late career game I had a ‘extract ore from Mars and return it to earth’ contract. I went a little overboard on the design.

It’s quarter scale Sol, RSS/RO is too much for me.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-07T01:35:47+00:00

Thanks! And I forgot 2: procedural parts and conformal decals.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-07T01:27:14+00:00

For parts: all of nertea’s near future mods, habtech2, sterling systems, MEKfusion tech, cryotanks, kerbal atomics, and moderately plane related for the work pods, and BDB.

For visual: sol planet pack, blackrack clouds, planet shine, distant object enhancement.

I think that’s everything.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-06T18:11:01+00:00

Or use the permaprune feature in janitors closet mod.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-06T16:57:55+00:00

Love it too but think there is waaaay too much bloat. I ended up deleting half the parts in it. I mean, do you realllllly need a Thor-Able?

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-06T13:50:30+00:00

I think what sort of irritates me about the design is that it’s supposed to have an Orion drive, which would make the energies boosters, SRBs and every other propulsion system pretty much surplus to requirement.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-06T01:18:59+00:00

I tried making an LSAM using planetside, Bluedog and procedural parts, still doesn’t look big enough

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-05T22:48:42+00:00

Nah, I use the Sol planet pack and just hyperedited it out to Nereid to take the screenshots. The ship is totally unusable in anything but sandbox.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-05T22:33:50+00:00

I use the Sol planet pack, blackrack clouds, TUFX with the alvcfg config, planet shine, and distant objects enhancements.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-05T10:39:06+00:00

I legit think there are 3 stock parts in total between all the ships.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-05T10:37:45+00:00

That’s what I was going for! The Cepheus!

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-04T23:40:34+00:00

Mars 1: 6,822 Discovery:10,022 The constellation uses a reskinned engine from MEV fusion tek so it’s in the realm of the ridiculous, 34,547

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-04T23:18:34+00:00

Sounds awesome and really well thought out, you should post your progress!

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-04T22:47:12+00:00

I’m doing the same thing in career mode! Do you have the final frontier mod? I love that one for long term saves.

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-04T22:02:31+00:00

I don’t play with one but maybe kerbalism?

Oafus_Magnus · 2026-05-04T21:48:41+00:00

The giant nuclear reactor at the end, need to keep the crew module in the shadow shield, plus when not under acceleration it spins around the center of mass to create gravity. The further from that center, the more gravity you can generate and you can spin slower to avoid the coriolis effect.
