Testing the limits of a custom aircraft carrier mod in Kerbal Space Program
In short: Scott Manley tests a new carrier parts mod by Infinite Dice, attempting to land a rocket-assisted STOL cargo plane on a floating deck. The video explores the unexpected interactions between game physics and high-heat propulsion systems during carrier operations.
The video highlights the technical challenges of carrier-based flight in Kerbal Space Program. While the carrier deck is designed to withstand standard rocket exhaust, Manley discovers that the intense heat generated by sepatrons causes the deck to fail, demonstrating how specific game components interact with environmental assets.
This demonstration serves as a practical look at mod development and stress testing within the game's engine. By attempting a landing with a Short Take-Off and Landing (STOL) cargo aircraft, Manley provides insight into the durability and limitations of custom-built naval structures in a space-flight simulator.
