LOL yesss I don't remember exactly, but after 1.04, i was unable to SSTO Eve with my old ship... but when i tried again in 1.3, that was ok ! So i tried to scale down because the "vector" engine is exactly the same isp as the "mammoth", and because i wanted to try something new BTW the weight is 4 tons for 1000 Kn on the "Vector", vs 15 tons for 4000 Kn for the "Mammoth', so on the paper the Vector is not so good... but in fact in 1.3, even if that's still very hard to SSTO Eve, i'm sure this is easier than in 1.04 ! The key is also to have the less possible drag, and the "Strake" wings seems to be very good for lift/drag ratio My two cents...

Hi @Kergarin The big difference with wings is that you can takeoff with a smaller than 1 twr... That's why i choose that ! as you can see, the twr of my "little" Eve SSTO is 0.86 at takeoff...

Ok for me too!!! downloading

Paid 1h30 ago, and still not in my account too I want to playyyy lol

Hi All "Light" Stock EVE SSTO in KSP 1.3.1, that was hard and "hot", but done again Jebediah is on a command chair under the shell. (you can see the top of her helmet in the shell...) Youtube video: Ship Landed with HyperEdit on highest Eve mountain, and manually piloted to orbit this time... Full Stock ( Craft File in the Youtube description ) Fly safe with Valentina !!!

I don't find the old post, but there is a Foxster ship that is almost the same ! But for this one on KSP 1.3.1 i had to make a lot of changes... maybe not the best ascent path too, but that was very funny Congrat's Foxster !

Hi All Eve Challenge.... mmmh All the data in the album --> https://imgur.com/a/8HICJ That was very tight !!! Fly safe with Valentina

lol, i'm a young 52 years old ksp player, but i remember as if that was yesterday my dad asking me to wake up at 4am to see the men on the moon on the tv in France !!! i was 4 years old , that was awesome !

Remembers me my Tylo landing in the Jool 5 Challenge... that was really tight, and i had to make a lot of F9 keypress ;-) look at the fuel left... Tylo IS a hard part of the game !

Hi All My attempt with a Nuke... and some fuel tanks Imgur album : https://imgur.com/a/Vbz9M Gilly: 6 Pol: 26 Minmus: 36 Bop: 46 Ike: 78 Dres: 86 Mun: 116 Eeloo: 124 Duna: 145 Vall: 172 Moho: 174 Homeward Bound (Ok if only the Kerbal alive is good lol ) Infinity and Beyond Powerhouse One Stop Shop Fly safe with Valentina

Hi All Today i made a video of a Kerbal version of SpaceX Falcon Heavy with 3 KOS scripts to recover the 3 Falcon 9 A lot of fun and several hours of testing, coding, crashing... Happy New Year to all of you !

Hi All Here is the Part One of my attempt... I wanted to test a KSP version of SpaceX Falcon 9 Heavy, so this challenge was a very good idea !!! I know i will not make a highscore, (boosters on barges and second stage on KSC... not exactly what was asked lol), but i enjoyed playing with this craft and coding with KOS for several hours to achieve this goal... Thanks to @Gotbread For the video and KOS code KSP + kOS SpaceX Falcon9 automated barge landing I used a lot, and And @only_to_downvote on Reddit for the KOS FUNCTION TimeToImpact I will make a Part Two video with the journey to Duna and the "Tesla" Spin ASAP And Happy New Year for all of you !!!
