Coming in hot!

The challenge is simple- Land with as fast of a speed at touchdown as you can. There are separate leaderboards for modded and stock entries, please state which your entry is along with a screenshot of your vehicle. You must land on the runway (with a greater horizontal velocity than vertical velocity)! Finally, you must stop before the end of the runway- no touch-and-goes. Other then that there are no rules 

SCORING

-Score is the landing speed, squared

-+10 for each passenger that can fit in the aircraft

-Minus 250 for each passenger that does not survive

-Minus 100 for each parachute

-Minus 100 for the inclusion of RTGs or Nuclear rockets- The average Kerbal does not like irradiation.

-Plus 100 points if all crew and passengers survive

-Plus 500 points if the aircraft is completely intact

-Plus 1000 points if you land supersonic. Good luck XD

(If you have ideas, please speak up)

Except for the +1000 points for supersonic landing, speed has no impact on score.
Thus landing 10 kerbals at 250m/s would give you a lower score than landing 100 kerbal at 50m/s...

I think you should review you scoring system.

-Score is multiplied by max number of passengers that can fit in the aircraft

I think the score is the landing speed

Maybe. It's not clearly stated so one can only assume.
Vaguely defined challenges rarely take off, I think @RedPandaz might want to fix that.

Ok!

OOH, landing speed, **MULTIPLIED** by max passenger count?

Flying Soccer City

My flying soccer city lands at 12m/s, houses 1841 kerbalnaughts, and uses only 60 parachutes.

That should be good for 12 * 1841 - 6000 + 100 + 500 points? (16692 total)

If this flying abberation qualifies, i will record a fresh set of images showing the safe landing etc...

I edited the rules now, you must land horizontally on the runway  Manage to do that and you have a competitive entry

According to rules, it would qualify if it would be on the runway.
There was nothing in the rules about HORIZONTAL take-off / landing anyways

EDIT: Ah snot, @RedPandaz ninjaed me and added it

Muahahaha

 

Updated this challenge, now the initial score is the speed squared, to emphasize speed, and the Passengers is simply multplied by 10 and added
