Does anybody know how to make good missiles? All mine spiral out of control.

Give them a good spin. Spinning missiles and rockets fly straighter. Quirk of physics.

And Jeb seems to be unkillable by any normal means, though I advise you not to let him take up tap dancing.

Even in space?

A challenge!
To all KSP'ers. Build a functional (floating) Aircraft/Spacecraft carrier.

All Hands on Deck- Standing crew of 3 or more.
Holding it's Own- Armed with defenses or offensive weapons (mods are optional).

I am building a heli-carrier that might work in water.

When you're done, post a screenshot or two and include what 'chieves you think you qualify for.

Qualifying for All Hands on Deck, Hold Its Own, and Long Legs, I present to you the AISV-12 Vesuvius.

Spoiler:

The Vesuvius is an Armed Interstellar Vessel, the Twelfth in the "Volcano" line of warships. Armed with a pair of 4 kiloton-yield railcannon, four System-Level Interdiction Missiles (Nuclear), and a pair of GAU-19 point-defense clusters, this vessel is commanded by Captain Jebediah Kerman and is in orbit of the gas giant Jool. Powered by a cluster of fusion engines, this ship has the reaction mass to reach any and all of the nearest stars in a reasonably timely manner. The 13th vessel in the series, the Helens, will feature missile bays that will contain much shorter-ranged Orion-class "streak" short-ranged assault missiles (SRAM).

Mass: 240 tons
Thrust: 8,000
Armament:
2 4-kt RC-4 Railcannon
4 SLM(N)-2 missiles
Defenses:
2 3-GAU GAU-19 point defense autocannon (20mm)
Obfuscation Shield
Laser Dispersal Gas System
Thick Armor

I really must buy this...

Still scores. Well done, Shiva.

Hey, .18 was released just a few minutes ago, I will wait a few days for the servers to cool down. Just thought it was relevant to the topic and wanted to post this for no apparent reason.

0.18?! FINALLY. THANK YOU SQUAD. I'll be updating shortly.

Must get now.

No. Never. Ever. Forever. Seriously. If you're going to pirate something, find it yourself. But it'd be best just to buy it. Like I did. Just now.

My lie/sarcasm detector blew up when I loked at your post, Thats not a good thing.

My findings suggest greatly that "loke" is not a word in the English dictionary.

Hrm, Your dictionary must be defective, Make sure it is an Intergalactic dictionary and not one of those weird paper ones.

I have a paperback version of the Galactic Dictionary Mk IVXXX

Does it include the language of Spārnoto suns?

From which Flobnar?

Flobnar? What the hell is a flobnar?
