iainonline Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 (edited) I was so excited to finally land on minimus today, on my PS4. Not so thrilled when I discovered I had put the wrong fuel tanks on for the return module engine to burn !!! Another perfect Kerbal Adventure...the rescue mission will be a ball ! Picture attached of the epic win / fail, just don't turn around and look at the fuel tanks Kerbinaut ! https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzbzI-iQ6sDdUVBfLXFMTWVzSzQ Edited October 4, 2016 by iainonline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dman979 Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hi, @iainonline, and welcome aboard! I remember my first landing on the moon. I destroyed everything but my capsule, but I was so excited that I EVA'd Jeb, jetpacked him at over 70 m/s, and ended up killing him when he ragdolled into the terrain. Good times. Have fun!

Magzimum Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Welcome to the forum! I love your little lander, and especially the stairs made me smile. I guess there are multiple lessons here! I'm not sure I fully understand what you intended to build with the bits right below the capsule itself, but I just want to encourage you that we all started this way. My first Mun lander was a giant wobbly contraption with more dV than is necessary to get to Jool (I needed all of it to get to the Mun)... and despite all odds I managed to make a soft landing, after which it slowly fell over on its side (it was really top heavy). I went from really excited to really disappointed in 1 second, but those are the best learning moments. Happy landings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mibo22 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I know how you feel. My first mission, I ran out of fuel and stranded my poor kerbal in orbit. I was very upset, until I realized this just meant I needed to mount a rescue mission! Happy Kerballing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerbonaut905 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Even if your mission failed, you build the coolest-looking stock lander I've ever seen ! It's simple but not coarse (don't know if that's the right word). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a lot like my experience. In fact my avatar shows Valentia next to her still intact command module. I landed the rescue vehicle safely, but it was a good 100 km away. So, i lifted off again and was doing great, even without RCS thrusters. Then, for some inexplicable reason, I hit the space bar - and watched in horror as the fuel tank, engine and landing gear separated from Jeb's command module. Good times, good times indeed.
