The Ultimate Jool 5 Challenge Continued
JacobJHC replied to JacobJHC's topic in Challenges & Mission ideas
Congratulations @camacju on completing the Jool 5 challenge, low cost subchallenge! You have beaten the previous record by just over 10,000 funds! I found you Laythe entry maneuver to be quite ballsy, and am impressed how much energy you were able to get out of Mun assists. Stealing the solar panel is also a new strategy that has not been used yet in a Jool 5 submission, so your mission is a first in more ways that one! I'll add your submission to the leaderboard now. -

@jinnantonix I eagerly await part 2, just remember to have unmanned exploration done before the colony is constructed. I like your reusable launcher too- 93 replies

Don't feel too embarrassed about it, that's a rookie mistake. You see, what actually happens is that sometimes people mistake Ike for a dwarf planet called Dres. It is the craziest instance of the Mandela effect I have ever seen. I once fell for it when I was a noob, but have since realized that Dres is just like Harvest, a myth surrounding KSP's development.

Wow! I have never seen a Jool 5 mission like this one before. Before I can add it to the leaderboard, I want to ask a few questions. 1, could you verify that the Kerbal could have exited and reboarded on the Jool landings? Rule 7 requires them to be able to walk or swim on the surface. From looking at your vessel it definitely looks possible, I just need to see proof that they can embark and reboard. 2, how many total launches were done to put the tankers in orbit? I only ask for leaderboard reasons, I'm not sure if some were done in pairs or if they were all single. I think I saw some go as a -

Congratulations @Majkon completing the Jool 5 challenge on level 2! You absolutely smashed the low part count record for the Jool 5 challenge, and managed to do so in a very nicely made video! You are correct that the design is insultingly simply, in fact it makes the entire challenge look easy XD. In regards to the official part count, I think it should be counted as 9 since the RTG (while attached in orbit) still rode inside the ship to get into orbit to begin with. I think going forward for low part count missions, any part brought along in storage and then used counts as a part (EVA equipm -

Yeah there's no problem with that at all. Good luck! -

Hello, To clarify, are you asking if you can use Kerbals to construct a ship while in LKO? Because if that is the case that is totally fine. However, once the craft leaves LKO, you can't launch any more parts to add to it. -

Congratulations on completing the Jool 5 Challenge on level 1! Truly an interesting mission, succeeding in terms of both simplicity and effectiveness. While I say it fits for level 1, I would like to place it in the low parts subcategory, as it beat the previous record of 31 parts. Would you be alright with this? -

Congratulations @camacju on completing the Jool 5 challenge on the first level! I was very impressed by your Tylo lander, it is the second nerv-powered lander for Tylo I've ever seen used in a Jool 5 mission. Similarly, your launch stage is something we don't see around here very often, taking a nice departure from the usual moar-boostered rocket. You have already been added to the leaderboard, sorry for my misunderstanding! -

Good point. I'll add your submission to the leaderboard now. My apologies, I clearly had a misunderstanding of what the rule was, thanks for calling me out on it! -

JacobJHC replied to JacobJHC's topic in Challenges & Mission ideas
fixed Kraken drives should be mentioned in the rules, I shall add it now. Very impressive mission, however you did not plant a flag on each moon. Regardless, this is such an impressive mission I want to put it in the gatecrasher section. Would you be alright with that? (Also the editing in the video is very nice. Clean and to the point.) -

Congratulations @king of nowhere on completing the Jool 5 Challenge on Jeb's level! In many ways, this is the Jool 5 mission. The amount of roving conducted on each world is mind-boggling and requires patience I cannot fathom, and the flight on Jool was nothing short of nail-biting. This mission is incredible, and I cannot overstate that. I will be adding you to the leaderboards immediately. Please do add the completion badge to your signature, because you have more than earned it for this mission! -
