Cmdr. Arn1e

I've now been inspired... stand by! ;D

Been bounty hunting in Kremainn, and doing a little bit of battle next door in Mbukuravi... both are very close to the starting system (LHS 3447? Trevithick Dock). Say hi if you see me, apart from a few friends, most CMDRs don't seem to want to stop and chat, especially if there are a few hunting in the same RES!

I feel the need to apologise... as much as I love KSP and this challenge in particular, I've gone and got Elite: Dangerous! I feel kinda dirty, or something... heh, wierd how that works, isn't it! I will still be along to answer questions or give bits of advice if anyone wants them, but between my stupidly over-abundant games collection, increased work hours, pet snakes, friends and family, I don't think I currently have time to help out with the judging side of things... but I'm sure others who can spare the time will be along very shortly to lend a hand Oh, and expect a new entry from me 'at some point'... no, not even 'soon' I'm afraid And Raygundan; I had that a couple of times too, but before I had got my career save to the point where I could make the attempt! Over-ambitious moon bases scuppered me

I don't think you have read the challenge submission guide Are those mods required or optional? by 'cheats' do you mean the in-game dev menu? Waht's so special about the Mk 82 bomb you mention? Please don't take this negatively, we just like to see well-structured challenges on here

I intepret this as "Mods, please close"... I don't think it will be going far as a challenge!

Welcome to the Forum! We see a challenge as a first post so much... please don't take anything said harshly, it is not intended that way! Firstly, it is obvious you haven't read the Challenge Submission Guide Secondly, you haven't supplied your attempt... and Thirdly, you haven't checked to see if anyone has posted a similar challenge! This was actually done (a little differently) a little while ago over on this thread (Well, very differently in this case, but what I mean to say is it is a fairly common challenge, usually started off with an argument about if it's possible or not!) A few hints for your challenge - Spelling, Grammar and punctuation, all reasonably important to avoid arguments about what you mean about something - simple is easier Why have you put your name on there when you don't yet have an attempt? Yep, we want a challenge, that's why we're visiting the challenges page Most people ban everything on the F12 menu...

Welcome to the Forum! It's also the done thing to check if the challenge already exists - you obviously did not check! http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/57197-The-Ultimate-Jool-5-Challenge-land-Kerbals-on-all-moons-and-return-in-one-big-mission

I'm sure some of us regulars don't mind stepping up, and we can send our verdicts and thoughts to Ziv via PM for him to just update the OP

Challenges like this usually require the OP's attempt! this seems like a very restricted challenge, which might turn a lot of people off, but seems to be totally valid under the rules and regulations, bar your attempt to kick things off to show what is possible

This challenge pre-dates the current career mode, so yes! (Jebediah's level is currently scored on science points brought back after the successful mission)

I think the only reason this wouldn't qualify is due to the pre-sent fuel depot... to qualify, you are allowed to send a fuel shipment if needed, but not allowed to have a pre-existing fuel depot, sorry

I think it's up to you which mods, if any, you use for this challenge - so if you want to do it entirely stock, do so I think there's room for other mods to be allowed in future, but I think CalMacDa isn't too experienced with mods yet, so I think the right choice has been made for now (limiting the amount of allowed mods rather than an outright ban). I don't think there's a requirement for any of the mods... this could also be cleared up a little when CalMacDa gets round to it

Only challenge that came close was to try and make a Trieflugel (German experimental aircraft that never made it past design stage, but happens to be the smaller-airship from "Captain America, First Avenger" [The flying bombs launched from the Valkyrie Long-Range flying wing type plane]). Nice idea for a challenge, but I think you might need a bit more structure to your challenge - limit parts or mods, and have a leaderboard ready for your entries - and your own one would be good!

(EDIT: Didn't double check the rules!) What Must be Sent: *Send 4+ Kerbals - Yep - 10pts *Send a manned or unmanned space station that will be left there for future missions - Yep - 10pts *Send a Space Plane that can be brought down to Laythe, landed, and taken back up - Did take one, but didn't end up using it! - 0 pts? *Send a probe - Nope - 0pts *Send a rover and land that rover on one of the islands on Laythe - Nope - 0 pts *Land at least 1 Kerbal (just man the space plane) - Nope - 0 pts Rules: *Use allowed parts (stock, Mech Jeb, Kethane) *Mech Jeb is allowed *Send all but one Kerbal back *Leave the spaceplane with space station *Orbital assembly allowed Everything Worth 10 points - for following the rules, too? Bonus: *Leave a probe for all moons of Jool - 1 point - Nope - 0 pts *Send a manned ship to the station and refuel the spaceplane left there - 1 point - I didn't bother deploying the station - 0 pts *Complete the mission in 1 launch - 3 points - done in one launch on this one, but did not complete - 0 pts? *Dont use large parts (anything the size of the 4x engine cluster) - 1 point - Used SLS parts - 0 pts *Send a colony of 100 Kerbals - 2 points(Bonus Bonus: use the Keythane mod to give the colony the ability to launch and refuel ships) - 3 points - can do now with the huge new passenger parts, but not this time - 0 pts *Don't use Mech Jeb - 1 point - Nope, used MJ - 0 pts *Don't Aerobrake - 2 points - Aerobraked - 0 pts I got 20 points, from what I could work out... Just to show I did take the spacestation to be left in orbit, this is the same station but in my new attempt ship:

Another nice challenge for newer players, and well laid out too I'm still working on your first challenge though, so may well be skiping this one - hope it goes well! (And by the way, the players who have been playing a while now are probably still playing with all the new things in 0.90.0, and a lot of players who got the game for christmas may not have found the forums yet, so be patient and you'll get more entrants, I'm sure!)
