KSP Mods - SpaceX Interplanetary Transportation System
About | Information | History | Online | Facts | Discovery
Welcome to the Kottabos Space Program home of the fastest growing space exploration program on Kerbin (and fifth safest to boot). Come and see as we launch our brave (and not so brave) Kerbonauts into the heavens on a shoe string budget. In this episode I mess around with the SpaceX Interplanetary Transportation System mod which adds into the game all the parts needed to make the ITS system Elon Musk wishes to send to Mars. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ OTHER EPISODES: • Previous: https://youtu.be/8EUT6OlWMK8 • First: http://youtu.be/EbAdRW07LoI ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ LINKS: • Kerbal Space Program: https://kerbalspaceprogram.com/ • Mod: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/150729-12-spacex-interplanetary-transportation-system-by-thrimm-aerospace-09/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ CHANNEL WEBSITE: • http://www.kottabosgames.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ STORE: • http://kottabosgames.spreadshirt.com/ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ FOLLOW KOTTABOS GAMES: • https://twitter.com/KottabosGames • https://plus.google.com/+KottabosGames • http://www.twitch.tv/kottabosgames • http://www.youtube.com/user/KottabosGames • https://www.facebook.com/kottabosgames ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Apply for Partnership: • http://r.mker.tv/DDgHfp ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ MUSIC: Produced by the talented Kevin MacLeod • http://www.incompetech.com/ .♪ "Enter the Party" .♪ • http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100240

well if it works in KSP... ship it ¯\(ツ)/¯
-
i think they said that the crew module gets refueld in orbit about 4 or 5 times before it can go to mars. thats insane! but you probably cant put any extra fuel in anyways becouse of all the people and cargo that are inside.

Credo eu jogo ksp no meu pc, sem gravar ja trava imagina se coloca pra grava
-
How did you actually end up building this?
-
the grid fin does the same with me too
-
Might even install this in my RSS version just for the decent engines! I gave up on RSS long ago because the engines all sucked. Idk if something didn't install right or if it's meant to suck.
-
I think I know your problem with the grid fins. When you click on them, there's TWO deploy options. They double as air brakes and control fins correct? Well control fins and air brakes have a deploy option; and given the order of the buttons in the part options, I'd say the top one is to deploy them outwards, and the bottom one in another direction.
-
Can you make a video where you actually use the ITS to go to Dyna!
-
You should do a modded colony build using this, and see how massive of a colony you can build before the game completely flips its shite.
-
If it is so overpowered for Duna, could it do a return trip to Eve with the refueller?
-
Ithink it is not oversized for KSP. It may made for the RSS Mod.
-
It is called BFR and BFS for a big f----ing reason
-
Mark Thrimm is MY FAVE YOUTUBER!
-
Not suitable for career mode...
-
its a flying dildo xdd
-
Kottabos, Kottabos, Kottabos. you are not deploying the fins correctly... the deploy you are pressing is to deploy the angling of the fins, just like every other control fin in ksp. there is another deploy button with "retraced" next to it. you need press that instead
-
would u be able to have an I.T.S. not be refilled with 4 or 5 tankers ..but have the tankers connect to the I.T.S. in space with some kind of anchors and go to mars with all 5 vehicles and when u get to mars use the tankers for habitation or other purposes .. !!! it would be cool to simulate that with ur program.. !!!

Very Nice Mod, can you please share a link to download the craft already assembled? Thanks

here are some changes I made to the parts that I feel more closely reflect reality. I did these changes by editing the .CFG file for each part using word pad:
Engine changes:
The engine weights are WAY to low, the Raptor Sea Level is only at 0.5 tons and the Raptor Vacuum is 0.8 tons. I made the Raptor SL 4.5 tons because this will be a very high pressure engine which will require a thick combustion chamber which will add weight to it. I made the Raptor Vacuum 5.5 tons due to it's very large engine bell. These weights are not perfect but more closely resemble some level of reality. their thrust is outrageous at over 3000 kn, I'm thinking of lowering this but not sure how far (maybe between 2000 - 2500 kn) and if I do I will have to also change their fuel consumption. their ISP is perfect so I didn't mess with that.
Ship I.T.S.
As Kottabos said, this thing carries to much fuel for what it is and even with the correctly weighted engines this thing can still get to orbit on it's own with fuel to spare. I reduced the fuel cap by 30% giving it 117,000 LiquidFuel and 143,000 Oxidizer. I'm thinking about fixing it so it uses Methane and Ox but will require KSPI to be installed with it.
I'll play with these parts a bit more and see if I can fine tune them even farther, once I get them just right I'll send my changes to the mod devs. -
I waited exactly for something like that to come out XD
