KSP: Futuristic Refuelling SSTO - Inspired by Skylon!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2024
- Today I decided to address something I noticed a couple of weeks ago, regarding the lack of fuel in my "refuelling station": we'll be flying a Skylon-inspired vessel to replenish the station's tanks, to leave it in a slightly more functional state!

Did anyone else notice that the thumbnail has the old version of the SSTO without the robot arm?
Yep
Oop
@@MattLowne the great Matt speaks the truth
Welp finnally i found some one have similiar name whit me
@@MattLowne can you make a mission were you take a starship to mars
I just found your channel not too long ago, binge-watched some of your series, then went and rewatched the KSP 2 trailer... I now can't help but hear the first line in the trailer song as "I'm so keen for Life on Laythe." Get on it! Much love.
Which one?
Matt videos are more important than sleep so I must watch it all!
Agreed
wait wait nobody like or dislike this comment.. it is the holy number
@@yellowname1133 yes it is
It was at 69 and I liked😎
i fixed it
I'd love you to fix the gigantic space station! Or make another one!
Its probably impossible to fix it and building another one is probably going to end up the same
Can I get a link to the video where launched it?
Or deorbit it
Deorbit would be good
Everyone is early, and we dont care.
Ok
@@animationspace8550 nice profile pic, 2001 i my favourite movie ever made
Correct, we’re all just happy to see a new video from Matt
True
@@NightBeWheat never saw interstellar?._.
LOL I literally just watched your old Skylon SSTO "space station building" video 10 minutes ago because I had SABRE engine and skylon fever, turned on KSP - and then I check out youtube to put on something in the background and it says "KSP: Futuristic Refuelling SSTO - Inspired by Skylon!" - 8 minutes ago.
What are the odds!? haha
0:19 already off the bat that is a tall order, this year is off to one insane start but not too insane to recall the adventures of Lowne Aerospace 💫
Yo why is Kerbin's atmosphere so THICC
I think it’s scatterer
@@cecil5 yeah scatterer.
But dayum look at eve
@@Coli2603 daaaaamn eve’s thiccccc
First off, why the fuck are people simping for the planets and Kerbin's atmosphere is thinner than Earth's, due to KSP being easier to due stuff in.
"half full" Congratulations! You're an optimist! :)
Hey Matt, you're the best in my opinion at KSP, and I'm sorry I'm not active in the discord.
You should watch some piolet1549
@@averageinserter3275 I recognize you
@@omnithea ;)
He’s not. He is a very good ksp player, but he is not the best. The best would be the 1 ton to eeloo guys, hazardish is the best builder, Matt is good for his quality videos and beginner friendly tutorials
@@daviddavis hazardish fanboy, brad whistance is surperior, he also cheated so thats wrong
Hey Matt, I've seen what's happening in England, I'm very sorry, i mean about hospital congestion, here in Italy we heard about one hospitalization every 30 seconds. It must be hard for the NHS. Good luck for these hard times! Keep up the great work..
Your thumbnails are always great. I love trying to spot the moment you took them during the timelapse!
When I was a child, I watched cartoons on Saturday mornings; now, I watch Matt Lowne KSP Videos. Life is good! I wonder, how long does it usually take Matt to produce one of these? In my experience doing some training videos in IT, it takes more effort than people think to produce them with editing, etc.
Just a mission like that takes about 4 to 6 hours
Finally! First video of Matt Lowne that has high efficiency SSTO that I watched. I'm subscribing now. Keep up the good work Matt.
Those crafts that you had to lick the surface of sea-level were weird, man!
Matt Lowne:
Add fuel tanks to space station until I reach duna
Me:
What!!?
Lmao
Matt SINCE YOU LIKE SSTOS so much you should look at the NASA “dream chaser” concept with the plane on a rocket stack instead!.
Must tell the Army they cam refuel their jet fighters from their tankers - they'll be ever so pleased to find out that they have some...
I'm a tad sleep deprived and read the writing on the thumbnail as "docking with a robot chicken" and I think I'll leave it like that.
i thought it said the same thing 💀
Oh my gosh I thought the same thing!!
Matt Lowne thinking of vid ideas be like: Ah yes time to make a vid on both sstos and space stations cause this is the pinical of the channel
To the people who say this is the earliest Ive been, STOP THE CAP, I SAW THE SAME COMMENT ON THE LAST VIDEO
Hey, at least even those comments also give the video a boost for the algorithm, and we can just tune them out as white noise.
This is the earliest I’ve ever been
@@nasawormlogo9521 oh god damn it
This is the earliest I’ve been on a comment on Matt’s ids
Starting final approach at 300+ m/s that's ballsy mate. Even the Concord slowed down below the speed of sound before final approach.
Matt, came here while watching the SLS hot fire test. I AM DISSAPOINTED YOUNG MATT. HOW DID YOU NOT INCLUDE THIS IN SPACE THIS WEEK. A jolly good walloping shall come of this... :(
(Lol I'm an idiot, loved the vid)
You can use Aecs Motion suppressor mod it disables control surfaces while out of atmosphere and enables control surfaces in atmosphere
NASA is like when you finish the tech tree. When you started out, it was super cool and fun. When you finish the tech tree, everything gets really boring (probably 1990-2000). You start to go back to places after taking a break from the game (artemis) and you let other people download your crafts (letting people use your rockets).
I'd argue this is the prettiest SSTO you've built
not too big in the rapier module, however the body design is so pretty
Sup, Matt just an fyi, angle of attack is essentially the angle between the prograde marker and your attitude on the navball. Not just ur navball attitude. 3:08 basically your angle of attack in reality would be around 5 degrees, with your pitch at 20. So if you had an angle of attack of 15-20 degrees, it would create a ton of drag. Awesome video loved it :)
What a great way to finish up my night at work!
Around my 70th hour of ksp I landed on the mun for the first time.
Nice work man. Mine was probably around the same. Got close to 2000 hours now
Dude, are u serious, like the 70th hour, it took me like 1000hrs lol
Most people playing games
Steam:50 hours
KSP players
Steam:10000 hours
Matt, when you are docking you don’t need to kill all speed just to make a little adjustment. You can just burn on the opposite side of the retrograde marker so that it moves closer to the anti-target icon, if that makes sense. I’m pretty sure that that saves some deltaV
It is easier tho
This. I hate seeing people burn off all their velocity and then burning towards a target, it's like, just aim the retrograde towards the anti-target, it brings you closer while saving a bunch of fuel! It's how I do all my rendezvous and dockings.
This is take two?
Take two???
The whole thing looks WAY Sophisticated!
I think Take two is still very impressive
I thought you were gonna say
"This is take two?
TAKE TWO!!!! THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE"
Lmao
@@hobodobo3479 nah bro, this game is hard
I can't even talk
It's hard enough trying to get the damn rocket to another planet
Wings can store fuel like in real life?! thanks...
Most of the wing pieces in KSP can't store fuel.
Only „big S“ items and those large Airplane wings
Can store fuel:
Large wing strakes
Large delta wings (Matt used them)
Large Airplane wings
All of them can store LF.
Keep up your amazing work dude i love your content!
Hell yeah one of the first batch
The same ground disappearing glitch happened to me. The ocean just vanished and I could see the seabed. I believe the problem was actually scatterer.
Matt FYI every time you dock you change the orbit of the station and the station is pushed down into kerbin
Hey mat what do you think is the best Forts mission for a begginer at ksp?
Orbit. Minmus should be the first moon to aim for
@@MattLowne thanks
I mun 1st tho
I slightly regret going to the Mun first. I was playing career and had a contract, so I went there. Minmus is soooooooooooooo much easier.
I then had to delete all the failed rockets, I still have a mess in VAB... The successful one was... I think Nefela (literally a random greek goddess) E2. I have even tried to use sparks as vacuum engines, seeing that they give a lot of delta-v, thinking that they are small but efficient. As a result, my craft crashed into the Mun trying to land with a spark. The Mun ejection burn took 8+ minutes.
@@sergegordeev9426 thanks veryuch
I need to plan my schedule to watch your videos! There are so many!
Good to know I’m not the only one who overshoots or undershoots the runway!
Off topic but I finally found out where the blunderbirds theme came from.
There's two types of in flight refueling I'm aware of drouges and booms, drouges are a flexible hose trailed by the tanker and booms kinda look a bit like a turret. Could probably find videos of both on here and KC-10s have both
This ssto looks awesome
Lets go another skylon
Just love to see it.
Having it dock with the robot arm looks soooo cool!
Also I'm thinking SSTOs like this are in my future, I have a fuel depot but hate how I only can recover like 70% of my first stage costs for the refueler (tho I did take the strategy to increase recovery percentage, hopefully that helps)
I don't know if this is a controversial opinion, but i would much rather see awesome crafts with part clipping, than regular crafts without it :D
Since you like recreations of various crafts, could build a Canada arm 2 replica, with the ability for it to transit to necessary parts of the chosen station.
Thank you Matt very cool
Let me help rephrase that AAR explanation attempt, fighter jet approaches the tanker which extends the refueling boom, and the fighter is then instructed(by the boom operator as well as the proximity lights near the area of the under carriage bays of the tanker) how to approach the tanker, and upon reaching close proximity, the boom operator extends the boom into the spot where the fuel is to be put(varies from fighter to fighter)
another banger video from whisky man
Nice video! It’s very handy to have an easy refueling system. I’ve been launching bulky fuel tanks just to refuel the station lol.
Thanks, Matt, for creating ANOTHER SSTO craft file. I can't build one worth a damn.
How about a 200 seat Moho SSTO no mining/refueling sometime, Moho takes a lot of fuel to reach and come home, it would be an impressive mission.
There videos are so gooooood
For the next video can you do something with one of your giant roving colonies
Maybe he should build a roving town 😉
Nice skylon kind of looking SSTO
Great !
Everyone's first, and SN9 is second, so I guess I'm third?
Boi that was 1 word away from what I said- wth-
And mine was a minute before yours so reallyy you’re 4th :/
@@TYavaJ Illuminati confirmed
@@wyldcat9396 indeed
Yesssssss another one!!!
Imagine keeping the fairing base on show smh
Why is fuel tank clipping considered cheating? You still have to carry the damn thing into space and back and it makes the craft look much better in many cases
I just visited duna but completely cant build SSTOs
Almost same.
I just visited Duna but building an SSTO takes me a few hours even with all the calculation.
IDEA try and land a kerbal only using an external seat. For the seat you can only use heat shields, aerodynamics, and rcs No parachutes. Btw land him from LKO.
You should try the real plume mod. It makes the rocket exhaust plumes look way better and its not to bad on performance.
Stratzen has just bridged the dres canyon
Matt has made a really awesome complex ship
And I’ve just crashed a probe into the mun after losing probe control because I ran out of electricity. God these videos make my save game look so amateur
The Skylon is becoming the symbol of your channel
Minnmus is.
@@redacted-vhs1349 oh yes. _The Mintiest Moon of the Kerbin system!_
I like how you’re doing infrastructure work.
if you like infrastructure you might enjoy cupcake landers
@@cloverdove thanks, I’ll at it!
Yayyyy a new video
I wonder if Matt will ever learn what an "angle of attack" actually is, because spoiler alert, an angle of attack of 20° would be pretty terrible xD
Is that the last eragon book dragon as your profile?
what's an angle of attack
@@Liam_The_Great The angle between the wing chord and the direction of the incoming air. In KSP, unless your building something unusual, it's the angle between the heading marker and the prograde marker on the navball. A 20° angle of attack would be a pretty bad stall. Matt is talking about a 20° angle of climb.
Much better on the building timelapse
Awsome... i was looking to create something like that! Thanks for the idea
Keep playing you are amazing
Matt needs to check out the mod that Scott Manley just covered. Do a revamp of the colony ships.
Let's go!
Matt, please can you make a submarine for life on laythe? Make sure you use the new 1.11 functions and breaking ground propellers.
Matt can you do a space station at the edge of Kerbin's sphere of influence?
I accidentally crashed the lunar module of my Saturn V into the Neil Armstrong memorial on the mun
Hey, I'm not sure if you're still quite as into these KSP vids as you used to be, but I'd be very interested in seeing what kind of solution you could devise for Kerbin ocean vessel refueling with stock (as I'm on PS4) and DLC parts in KSP 🤔
I’ve had that scatterer glitch before. What you have to do is re install scatterer. This worked for me so I’m not sure if it will work for you.
Aw man, I fell asleep at midnight and I could not watch you video as soon as it was posted. ;-;
I watch this and I'm like, how taf did he line that up and dock it first try? I'm new and I suck at docking which is why I haven't been able to do a Duna return mission yet because i burn all my fuel trying to dock.
And/or crash the 2 ships together
Hey Matt! What are the Kerbal mods which you are using. To specify more, the mods which make the planet realistic!
So fast so fast and so MUCH infomation
Matt, It would b amazing to see a series where you play with mods, you're really good in stock and would love to see what you can build with mods :)
Nice, compact video - i'm not feeling as bad for watching one full video of yours before starting to work and learn :D
I guess you've got enough ideas and projects in mind for your videos, but in any case: i think it would be a cool upgrade for one of your space stations in LKO to provide some kind of big and very efficient, de- and re-tachable engine-module (perhaps like a ton of ion-engines or a cluster nuclear engines or whatever) to carry large amounts of payload from LKO to somewhere else in the system. So potentially a large-scale project would only need stages to get stuff in LKO and from then on the big efficient engine-module can take over and get back to refill once its done... though i don't even know if smth like that is even managable/useful, perhaps someone here can enlighten me :D
Anyways, i hope you (and naturally everyone else who's reading this ; ) ) have an awesome weekend!
This is sorta like my current career save, I have a module that can push 150 tons of payload out to either the Mun or Minmus, all while coming back to low Kerbin orbit to my fuel depot to get refueled again.
I would love to see you recreate the WS 110A Bomber Concept))) the one with the detachable forward swept wings)))
Amazing!
You should make a multi-launch space station, but in orbit around kerbol between kerbin and duna
In the morning I remembered it was Saturday and then started wondering that when today’s video was going to be uploaded 😆😍😜
Pog champ a KSP video
Any plans to recreate the Arkbird from Ace Combat 5?
I feel like Matt has really blown up recently ngl
Love kerala but as my laptop won't give me 20fps in old school runescape its good to get my fix via matt. Thanks bud keep up the cool video's
A Canadarm docking port system, Nice!. just like real life.
Not similiar. Candarm uses robotnic arm to dock using docking port on the ship. Using arm opony would not allow to transport anything.
I meant similar
Everyone's claiming "first" but i wonder who'll be last?
Oh no
First to claim that I’m last
For ultimate efficiency in finding the mod at fault, do a binary search. IE, remove half at a time. Mathematically the fastest way to do it
I landed on the moon for the first time recently, the landing was bad, the rocket lost all it communication and is stuck on its side... But the lander is fine, except it's out of fuel. So I'm sending an unmanned probe that is just the Sputnik probe with 4 research containers 4 legs and some flashing lights. It will land nearby and the kerbals will put their science in it and the probe will send the data back through transmission.. I built the probe but now the rocket XD
moar boosters would help u
Matt Lowne:
NASA: u fool
i am new to this game but i dont care your channel is perfect
With planes like this, it's important to go so fast that you get to space before you run out of air.
