[Story time] I tried to make a stock artillery that could hit the island airfield near the space center... I "kinda" went overboard on this and accidentally made it powerful enough to hit Moho when aimed/alligned properly hehe. In this video, I'm shooting for the Mun, which was pretty challenging as well. [Some numbers] The cannon weighs approximately 170 tonnes Thrust source: 33 vector engines Part count: 93 The maximum velocity of the projectile is 5100 m/s Time for projectile to reach its target: approximately 60 minutes Here is a 24 second clip of the launch.

Made a bike and an UFO yesterday

Holy Crap that IS IMPRESSIVE! I wonder if anybody can beat this! Amazing job! 22 seconds... man!

Here is my own entry: 0:34 seconds when crashing the first part into the VAB @ralanboyle: thank you for your entry. The design is very slick and you kept a steady course!

This is an idea that was posted on Reddit by CrazyEyedApollo and I have his permission to set up a challenge here on the forum. The mission rules are simple: The fastest kerbal wins! Additional rules: - Cheats are not allowed - stock parts only (Official DLC is allowed off course) - Post a gif or movie of your attempt [Leader board] 0:22| @boatmans| A very efficient vehicle with an excellent driver! 0:28 | AndersPottemager | A stylish Formula 1 rocked powered car! 0:34 | @xendelaar | an ugly propeller plane 0:40 | @ralanboyle | a very slick rocket race care

same here...

hahaha this made me laugh out loud! thanks

I tried to replicate the DeLorean from the epic movie "Back to the future". I think it looks okay, but I did miss something to make it feel more authentic... That's why I reenacted a part of the last scene from the movie (poorly), just to add a bit more flair.

holy crap that's a damn impressive challenge!

I had an idea of making a real AIRSHIP and got a bit carried away....

I made a tale of epic proportions. I call it: ---The pirates of the Quarantine--- ok... I just kind a wanted to see if I could make a real "Air ship" and thought it would be nice to turn it into a small story-like thing. nothing special haha.

Just wanted to thank you for writing this mod! Traveling across Gilly is a "female dog" without any timewarp!

Really?! That's so cool! Maybe I'll stop my 20% challenge and start a 10% challenge as well! Please let me know when you've started so I can upload your name to the Participants list.

Holy crap this thread is awesome! Here's my addition to the Zoo: She's a mythical creature, summened straight out of the glitches of the KRAKEN!

Made a cozy apartment for Vall and Jeb on an Class C astroid I captured earlier.

I will gladly add it.

It's not an ornithopter. It's a helicopter. Not a jet. Thanks for watching.

The Ultra Hard Career Challenge Start a new custom career game and reduce the reward sliders back to 20% and switch off No entry purchase on Research option. You can keep the other options the same as a regular normal challenge. The Goal: unlock the entire Tech tree. Description This challenge is for the people who find the a regular hard career game too easy and love to grind science from every corner of the solar system. I did a similar challenge a couple of years ago with all reward slides on 10% and proved that is possible, although very difficult. That’s why I decided to propose this challenge with the reward sliders on 20% to make it a bit more mainstream. If there are any takers on doing a 10% reward challenge, we could make a platinum section for them. Rules: 1. Science labs are not allowed 2. Mods that add extra sciences points to the game in any way are not allowed 3. Mods that retrieve science automatically are allowed 4. Mods that add information or enhance visuals are allowed 5. All strategies are allowed 6. No cheating and making use of kraken drives and such please 7. Stock engines only 8. Feel free to add more restrictions! 9. Please let me know if you’re using breaking ground DLC. Ground science experiments make the challenge easier. No points, just kudos for completion. This is a large enough endeavour to reward completion in any form. This will be a very long challenge and it will be difficult to keep track of all the progress you make. I don’t need to see all missions/contracts (because there will be many) , but some sort of visual proof of highlights of your progress would be appreciated. ---- PARTICIPANTS ----- This is the list of people playing, but who have not yet completed. Please correct any mistakes I put here so I can put you accurately on the Winner's board. @Xendelaar: DLC game with breaking ground. ---- WINNERS ----- <None>

I trained Jeb how to train a dragon haha

Nice that you're also doing the no contract challenge! thanks for the interesting report. I like the way you designed your Mun lander! With the engine stuck onto the pod! very clever!

Thanks for the answers everybody! @Pikapolar I want to grab a docked engine (which is connected to the ship with a docking port), undock that part, move it to a storage space and then swap it with another engine using a robot arm.. I need the Klaw to grab the end of the engine. I've been testing an experimental setup and it does work, but it is veeery difficult to do... successfully, at least hehe. (please don't ask why I want to do this... it's more of a "would it be possible?" kind of thing then a "wow, that would be super useful", kind of thing.

I've been trying to dock two ships with each other using a Claw. Is it possible to clamp onto any object, like rocket engines and scanners for instance? I've been testing this and I'm only able to connect to something like fuel tanks. I'm hoping I'm doing something wrong haha.

have you seen the new layout? I'll have to look this up!

Thanks for adding me to the hall of fame. I’m missing 65,879 funds. In my pre-calculations I didn’t include rendezvous and crewtransfers. I only discovered those achievements when I checked out your video last night haha. Maybe I made a mistake in the pre-calculation or I forgot to do something? Ah well.. luckily I had enough spare cash to finish the job. I do want to state that this one of the best challenges I’ve ever done. It feels really natural or something. As if the makers thought about it themselves when they introduced the world first achievements.
