    The Grand Orbital Space Station Challenge [closed to new entries]

    in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas

    Posted · Edited by AlexTheNotSoGreat

    Very nice station! Just a few quick questions' date=' which planet mod are you using and could you, just to humor me, post a picture in the VAB. Also, I assume 'Excessive Mass' refers to the mass on the pad minus the mass on orbit? And as far as scoring goes I am going to be busy until Monday unfortunately but I will try to get around to it earlier if I can. Thanks for the entry, looks cool![/quote']

    1.) Yes, excess mass is mass on the pad minus mass in orbit.

    2.) I'll get the VAB images soon - http://imgur.com/a/o8JLm

    3.) Sarnus is part of the Outer Planets Mod (OPM): http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/104280-0-90-Outer-Planet-Mods-Expands-the-Kerbol-system-with-new-planets-based-on-Saturn

    First off, here's the link to the album of the station: http://imgur.com/a/ZtJrX?

    Second of all, here is the stats (for the advanced tech division!)

    5 ports, 2 antennae, all science stuffs, solar/fission power

    Orbital mass: 98.7 tons

    Kerbals: 35 total, 29 comfy seats

    Excessive launch mass: 587 tons

    Science lab

    No life support mods

    1 Manned lander

    1 Unmanned miner

    Orbiting: Sarnus from OPM! (Let's do 5.5x multiplier?)

    Advanced tech division (Near future - argon propulsion)

    So, after 3 launches and several alternate dimensions of it getting vaporized, I finally got going to Sarnus. After staying up until 10:30 pm, a solid 2 hours, waiting for the orbit to reach all the way out there, I waited another 9 kerbal years to get to the damn planet! But finally, after a 1 hour deceleration, me and all 35 kerbals arrived at Sarnus, ready to science the life out of it!:sticktongue:

    Or to watch it burn in the Sanrnian atmosphere after some time!

    There are plenty of mods that already do this X2 X4 X6.4 (Earth Scale Kerbin) X10

    I know those already exist, but here's what I'm saying. Instead of doing double of Kerbin size, Keeping it a 1g, and increasing delta-v for orbit and beyond, Increase Kerbin's size, make mass on par with said size, so delta-v req. are the same, but with a bigger, better Kerbin.

    As I said, easier done than said.

    The concept for the mod:

    You can make a mod that re-scales the planets in an ascetic format. Yes, it sounds confusing, but here's an example:

    You increase Kerbin's size to, say, the size of Mars. But instead of keeping the gravity at 1g, like some planet re-scale mods, make it to realistic scale (~0.3g). This way, the orbital velocity/the delta-v for LKO is the same a stock, but with Kerbin being much bigger and having low gravity.

    I know, it's easier done than said, so feel free to ask questions! :confused:
