When you say powered landing, can I use parachutes to slow down to, say, 10m/s and then the touchdown be powered or must there be no chutes at all?

Do Visual mods make a difference Because, say, if there was someone with no visual mods, and then someone else with AVP with 48k Kerbin clouds etc., and they found the same spot, or the one without mods found a better spot, would it make a difference

In the main menu I get ~300fps (with a 300Hz screen), and in "Space Center" view, I get ~140fps. When in a craft on Kerbin surface/flying trough Kerbin atmosphere I get ~30fps, and when in Kerbin orbit, with camera pointed away from Kerbin I get ~65fps, and when looking at Kerbin I get ~50fps When near Mun, I get 100fps when looking away/85fps when looking at the Mun, so I'm thinking it has to do something with either Scatterer or AVP's atmosphere components Near Eve it's 60fps looking away/~43fps looking at. Thing is, I'd be more than happy with these FPS' if I didn't get 100+ yesterday Specs: Ryzen 9 6900HX RTX 3070 Ti Mobile 16GB 4800Mhz RAM (Visual) Mods: AVP with 8k textures DE_IVA Extension EVE Redux (as AVP dependency) Parallax Scatterer TUFX (default profile) Waterfall Settings: Terrain detail: High; Terrain Scatters True; (Terrain) Scatterer Density: 100% Render Quality: Fantastic; Texture Quality: Full Res; Aerodynamic FX Quality: Normal; Reflection Refresh mode: Every frame; Reflection Texture resolution: 2048; Terrain Shader Quality: High Resolution: 1920x1080; Anti-Aliasing: 8x; V-sync: Every second V-blank; Frame Limit: Default (Changing it doesn't do anything); Pixel Light count: 64; Shadows Cascades: 4 Mod settings: Scatterer: High; Kopernicus: All default Again, I'd be happy with these FPS' if yesterday they weren't some 70fps higher

Maybe something like a (commercial) space station, with a contract objective to launch a new ship (station) into orbit, in two or more launches and have 5 tourists visit it? I don't really understand if you're looking for contracts, ideas for sandbox, or something else entirely

Isn't this just the Grand Tour?

Thought so, I'll give this a shot later today

Are mods allowed? Near Future Spacecraft add some pretty OP monoprop engines with thrust of liquid fuel engines, and efficiency of nuclear engines. I'm talking 2000m/s, maybe even 3k with a Mk3-1 command pod and smallest fuel tank

You actually are No1 currently, probably because you used SRBs, which tend to be cheaper

@swjr-swis Your entry is valid, and I'm going to use your point system Cost is what the rocket costs in VAB. So, before recovery

Boosters are counted, it wasn't thinking really straight when I posted this yes, quicksaving and quickloading is absolutely allowed. As in: Drop booster, F5, land booster, F9, get to orbit

Fair enough. While testing the craft I did control the boosters, and for the final screenshots it didnt seem necessary I will include screenshots of landing when i boot KSP up later today I said in another reply that FMRS is allowed

It is allowed, but that launch would count under the "modded" ranklist Yes Uhhhh.... let's count that as Propulsive because you are controlling the rocket's descent

Well, landing is a landing. It makes sense to use landing legs, or other parts to serve as it. Landing on the runway would be 90% of LaunchPad points and i am not sure about the end of the question e: not sure as in i dont understand the question. the ocean part

I will first check submissions on 10-05-2022 at 15.00 GMT (UTC), and probably every day at that time. You can submit entries earlier, but I probably won't be able to look at them before 15.00 because of school/other responsibilities. Proposed by u/AutomaticDoubt5080 on r/KerbalSpaceProgram Submitions must include screenshots/videos of every launch phaze (liftoff, booster sep, booster recovery, core sep, core recovery, upper stage reentry, upper stage recovery) and a screenshot inside the VAB Rules: Central core must be Size 2 (2.5m) Must have three cores. Cores do not have to be the same size; It must be fully reusable, second and later stages included; Must not be an SSTO; Can be both remote-controlled and crewed; No cheats (Kraken drive, Alt-f12 menu, KAL glitch etc.). Every type of recovery is valid. You will, however, get extra points for propulsive landings. Mods that count as stock: Visual (AVP, EVE, Scatterer, Parallax, ReStock etc.); Information (Kerbal Engineer, Trajectories etc.). Mods that count as modded: Part mods (NFT, ReStock+ etc.); Autopilot mods (MechJeb); ANY MODS THAT CHANGE GAME DYNAMICS, ADD PARTS, CHANGE PHYSICS etc. MODDED PARTS ARE ALLOWED AS PAYLOAD Sorry if this is put together poorly, I'm not very skilled at making posts.

My (stock) take. I used ReStock+ for dummy payload, not the craft itself.

Hey, does this mod conflict with DE_IVA Extension?

It's probably ReStock, it's my essential mods I can't play without, along with KER

Stock parts, but I used Tweakscale for solar panels and Interstellar Fuel switch for more realistic fuel distribution

Well, I went with the path of least resistance. American - sandbox. https://imgur.com/a/xwzudpc Vanguard I. That's what I'm gonna do for now, later I'm gonna try and complete '57-'59

Well, this is gonna be my first try. https://imgur.com/a/teW4qpE. An ICBM with an SRB for its first stage and a liquid fueled rocket motor for the second, with RCS for enhanced control. Launched from the Dessert launch complex, i think it's gonna be hard to hit a KSC building, but I'll try to. https://imgur.com/a/crbd2Q1 First stage deployed succefully, will need to do minor adjustments in space. I didn't intend it to, but this actually reaches space. https://imgur.com/a/5VVOzA7 Seems to be okay, but I think I'll have an overheating problem. Oh well, time will tell. excrements, looks like my fins exploded on launch. I'm gonna have to put more heat-durable parts or launch from island airfield Well... that didn't work. Exploded on reentry. I'm gonna try a different approach, a plane-launched missile. https://imgur.com/a/9BOIQ2z https://imgur.com/a/Ew3d7D8 "Alright Jeb, prepare to deploy" - might just become my wallpaper Since that didn't work... https://imgur.com/a/0o6NmCV AND NOTHING HAPPENED! WHAT THE HELL I don't really have the nerve to do this now, I'm gonna try again later. Maybe create a new save in case this one is bugged.

So, you are supposed to build a station around any non-terrestrial body, in multiple launches, and then, for bonus points, build a base? Just a few questions: -Do you have to assemble it at the destination, or can you build it in LKO and then get the whole thing? -Any bonus points if it resembles the Gateway?

It really depends on how many mods I have. W/o mods, about 1 min. With no part mods, about 3 mins. With part mods, it really depends on how much mods. Currenty-i'd say about 7 mins, but I had times when it'd be 15 minutes (Timed on a stopwach) btw im on a 4th gen i5 and SSD is Samsung 860 EVO 500GB edit: and currently I have 105 mods edit once more: yup, 7 minutes, but that's with BDB, which I've deleted now

Boy that's short. I can do VTOs alright, but landing's still bit of a problem. I think I'll try the Air Force jet first

How short? I mean, some would consider vertical landing short, and some would consider Island Airfield short

Yeeah, I remember having BetterSRBs at the time. That is most probably it

I think there is a mod for KSP 1 that adds that capability (for example, 4 choices, one sets it for thrust to be 130% average for first 20% of the burn, then 90%, and then 60% the last few) I don't remember what it is, but i think it's waterfall
