It's been a while but I'm playing again. I may well carry on my "Out of Science" series. I still have the save game. But to get back into the swing of everything I decided to first of all take a trip to Minmus in a standard science game. Next I decided to go to the Mun which is the point of this post. I would like to congratulate: Pilot Summer "Suicide" Kerman for her successful suicide burn onto the surface of the Mun and Mission Scientist Siglorf Kerman for the huge amount of science she has done on this mission and for making Footfall onto the surface itself. Secondly with only 913 m/s of dV remaining on the lander I would further like to congratulate "Suicide" for the superbly efficient circularisation and transfer burn that will drop the craft into Kerbin's Atmosphere with less than 7m/s of dV remaining. At no point were any of the images taken during this mission generated on a computer. Those Flat Kerbiners get everywhere.

Hi there, I have a link to a tool for you to help with Satellite networks and orbits in general. I've checked the links to the calculator and they're still good. You can use this to work out a suitable elliptical orbit that will let you drop satellites evenly around a planet so that they give best coverage.

Right. I've caught up. If I'm feeling up to it I might actually get around to Out of Science episode 2 a year late.

For this series I was using a custom Krew. And when I try to "Create Kerbal" in 1.10.1 the Kerbals level is maxed to 5 even though I have Kerbal Experience enabled. A restart fixed that!. Time to play katch-up

I was only 2 boxes into my out of science game so I will just recreate it I guess in 1.10

Turns out that you can revert KSP in steam. Library -> KSP -> Right click -> Properties -> Betas -> Select the Beta you would like to opt into and choose an earlier version. I've switched to 1.10.1 which has worked. But now my save games are incompatible

Unless I can revert to 1.11? Can I do that?

Well then. I shall be leaving KSP as I wanted to specifically carry on with that version. See you at KSP 1.11.2 I know it probably seems silly but it's just not the way I was aiming to play at the moment and I don't want to start yet another project in the mean time. Dang it. 1.11.3

It didn't New game. All options carefully selected. Kerbal Experience enabled. Kerbals instantly level up turned off and Valentina still has all skills on first launch.

Oh Frabjous Day! Thank you for that. Oh that doesn't seem to be it. I don't have that option checked. Only "Part Upgrades" is checked. Perhaps I should turn that off too. **edit** nope that didn't fix it either. New game time

Nice! It always puts a smile on my face to see someone's first Minmus landing. You've built a nice looking little probe there.

Hi there, I've been away for a while and have just come back to KSP and immediately hit a roadblock that may stop me from carrying on my project. I was doing an "out of science" start 10% science rewards and Kerbals must level up However When loading my old 1.9 save I found that my pilots had ALL the skills available to them even though they were zero star pilots. I thought this may be a bug in translation of the 1.9 save to the current version so I created a brand new 10% science game again with kerbal experience enabled. But once more Valentina right at the start on the first launch has all the kerbal skills available to her. Is this a known bug with the current version? The only "helper" mod I have installed is Kerbal Engineer Redux. The rest are simply prettification mods ( Distant Objects, EVE, Community Terrain ) Anyone got a clue what's going on? R

Thank you Episode 2 will be up soon. Not sure what I'll be doing.

That's the spirit!

Haha, nice one! Of course it wasn't accidental right? You knew what you were doing all along and the commentary was just showmanship Really nice. Less than 1m/s touchdown!

Hi Guys, It's been quite a while since I played KSP. I think the last time was December 2018. I was doing an out of science mission and I also bought the expansion and when I was done updating my Out of Science mission was kind of done as the Wolfhounds had been umm "rebalanced". Duna Mission which I'd spent a long time planning, designing the craft for and deploying got rebalanced with it and ended up dead in space as it relied on four of those lovley 415isp Wolfhounds. Rather than try to pick that thread up and receive a slapping for necromancy I thought I would just start over. So here's the first episode of my new Out of Science series of missions and yes, that's me speaking. My real name is Ruth, you're welcome to call me Ruth, Newt, Newty or even "Oi you!" if you must. Please forgive me - the narration is all stream of consciousness. I've never recorded my voice in a video like this before, further more it was completely unrehearsed, unplanned and unscripted. Though I had a rough idea of what I was going to do given that the tech tree is quite limited at the start.

Yeah, please don't defenestrate your computer. If I'd got to Duna Orbit and run out of Fuel I'd likely run a "Blunderbirds" mission to refuel it. ( assuming you have docking ports or a grabber )

Thank you, without going into too much detail it's something I've lived with since my early years and will experience for the rest of my life. I'm just relapsing at the moment but outlook and mood wise I'm at the best I've ever been. This is my year!

@FleshJeb 1) Thank you, I'll get there but it will take a few years 2) Oh I Wish, I'm a little old for Avenging but I could certainly be a Sorcerer. I'm actually doing murder mystery evening but I don't get paid for it until the end of April 3) Yes not enough to get a full VR setup but will definitely put a large dent in the price tag for the whole system upgrade. Trouble is my day job is paying less at the moment ( wages vary from day to day depending on demand ) Today the weather is throwing 50mph winds at me so it's too dangerous to work ( I'm a cycle courier with a large backpack )

I'm so sorry friends 3 Things have prevented me from continuing this adventure at the moment. 1) I've not been well ( I have long term illness ) 2) I've landed my first professional acting job, this mixed with my day job is taking up so much time 3) My graphics card has died and I can't currently afford to replace it - I need a GTX 1160 or better as someone introduced me to VR and now I HAVE to have my own setup.

I've been off for xmass and not really been able to play. Duna very soon!.

Understood, good luck!

Wow, that is incredibly humbling. I'm really glad you've enjoyed reading this so far. I assure you, you can visit the Mün without a probe core and on just three tech boxes. Go for it!. Ahh I don't know what Kerbalism is - I'm playing with the following mods: 6 Crew Science Lab 6 Seat Mk3 Cockpit ABFW Better Burn Time Better Crew Assignment Better Time Warp Kerbal Alarm Clock Kerbal Engineer KOS ( not used ) Maneuver Node Evolved TAC Fuel Balancer The rest of my mods are all visual and don't affect game play beyond tanking my frame rate.

I think maybe it can. I just don't know how to use it. * Edit * A quick look suggests it can do "cut" and "fade" in studio mode but isn't exactly what you'd call feature rich.

I use OBS to record. KDEnlive is a video editing suite.
