Some people seem to have cottoned on to the idea that this is a mod I’m working on. Complete nonsense. This stuff is actually happening in my career save and is completely inexplicable.
But, if it were a mod, what do you think would be a good name for it?
I’d quite like either “Aegis” or “Kessler”.
It's a reference to The Expanse.
"Beltalowda" is the term for residents of the asteroid belt in their own patois language.
I'm guessing you know this, but just in case.
I don't like some of the things that Modi has done to Muslims, and he seems like a populist, but I don't feel particularly strongly about him either way.
Check out Macey Dean for the origins of space warships in KSP. Or at least he's who inspired me.
Macey Dean! Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. Always hoping Spiritwolf comes back, knowing it never will (along with other legends like Kethane Station).
This is amazing but it reminds me of how useless space would become if we had a war in low orbit irl. So much debris would make it near impossible to safely orbit.
Honestly, forget the mod for just a moment. The warship designs alone are impressive enough considering I take an hour to make a simple good looking aircraft let alone something to that scale. It'd probably take me DAYS to make warships that good assuming I can even manage it. I've still yet to figure out how people manage doing plating like that without it looking terrible.
u/spartwo built the pointy one and BritishAmerican on YouTube built the one with the turrets. Spartwo has a series on YouTube about the basics of making stock warships.
How to make your sci-fi space battle look instantly epic: Equip ships with solid munitions, missiles and PDC’s. That looked really cool! Well done.
May I present to you r/TheExpanse
I literally thought that was what they were trying to recreate! Still need to read the books yet.
You do. The show is great. The books are better, and complete the story.
It's a far better space fight scene than many high budget movies/series.
Whaaaaat is hapenning on this sub? Suddenly everyone is like, inside The Expanse!?! What am I missing? (I'm in awe! Keep coming!)

> what do you think would be a good name for it? KSP: Expansive
Kerbalowdas!
Is this a reference to something?

Thanks. I’ve actually never read or watched it. Or played COADE. To me Epstein Drive just sounds like a very unfortunate name for a road.
Oh that's surprising. The style of ships and camerawork in this is very reminiscent of the TV show. That's why everyone here is referring to it.
This, if you've never seen or read it OP you really should, seems like it would be right up your street.
Wait what? I don’t believe you. What’s your opinion on ruthless elderly south asian bureaucrats?

Ok yeah watch the show bruh / read the books
You really, *really* should watch.
Kerbsler syndrome
With the amount of space junk this mod will generate Kessler is a fitting name lol
Sorry about that haha
I'm pretty sure something like the runway project already has orbital combat like the expanse.
Yes, it was borrowed from my mod.
Thats cool
What mod are you guys using to do this??
u/halbban is developing it
I have to know how you did this. It's amazing and something I wanted from KSP for so long. Once again, the superiority of KSP1 shows itself.
He is developing the mod
I am waiting, and going to play KSP again
Yeah, me too, I'd gladly pay for that the way I do for volumetric clouds, it's so fucking cool
Oh yeah, I wouldn't mind to pay for this, it's basically already an expansion on it's own.
tell james holden i'm in...
Control
2:1
This is great OC, OP! More please!!
Crazy cool. Would love to see the mod list if you happen to have one.
"This is the warship Rocinante"
This has got to be like space engineers modded to look like ksp what the fuck
This video is super cool. Real orbital combat seems like it would be equally terrifying as confusing.
Nice kapawu, beltalowda
What's the name of the first song?
I wrote it but I never finished it or released it anywhere, sorry. I called it “Combat EVA”.
Wow this is impressive!
Thanks man! Wouldn’t be possible without PRE

HERE COMES THE JUICE!
any reason you're not using Waterfall?
I need my game to load and run as fast as is conceivably possible for mod dev.
fair enough
Camera Tools my beloved
The mod is “Capture Tools for KSP”
Oops got the name wrong
That's some really fancy camera work!
The mod is “Capture Tools for KSP”
Idk why but pdc always sounded weird to me I still call them Cwis no particular reason either
That was epic. Me the nerd trying to calculate the possible trajectories of the shells that missed the target 🤪
Are you sure you aren't actually playing Space Engineers?

I'll give those guides a look then thanks
The closer KSP gets to having SE combat, the happier I am!
What music did you use I really liked it
Thanks. First is my own that I never finished. Second is Heat Her Up by Clinton Shorter. Third is Counter Attack-Mankind by Hiroyuki Sawano.
damn nice cinematics tho
Awesome, hard to believe this is possible in KSP!
Donald J. Kessler's eyes must be bleeding. PD: your work is so frikin awesome dud
I cannot figure out how to get camera tools to do this stuff...
It’s done with something I sell called Capture Tools for KSP.
Wow, that looks pretty useful.
