Building working Macross fighters in Kerbal Space Program

[efaardvark]

So there's this guy, "Colonel Cbplayer", who's built actual working mecha fighters based on the Macross franchise using my fav game, Kerbal Space Program.  When I say "working" I mean everything, including flying, fighting, and transforming.  (Sometimes all at once!)  He's even got a video on his youtube channel of the YF19 and YF21 fighting.  Pretty insane, especially considering that the base game doesn't have weapons, or even real hinges.

I'd love to try this myself, but with the old GPU and FX processor in my system I'd be lucky if I got single-digit frame rates.  Not that I have the time for it anyway I guess.

This is pretty damn awesome if I do say so. I have always liked games where you can build this sort of thing. Robotics in particular holds a strong interest for me here.
