Octobomb

Aiming for Kerbonaut. Already made it, pictures in flight coming soon. But first: Uh. I didn't see the shrink in the diagram for the SRB... You changed that, didn't you. Sneaky...

The Thrusthound. It would have stopped, but then I ran out of runway. Nevertheless, the pilot survived. If I could find a couple hundred metres more flat I could break ~430m/s before fuel ran out. It doesn't need all the engines (each pod adds like 3m/s to the end speed after the first 3), but I like it. Expect a much more tounge-in-cheek entry in a bit . Sigh, IMGUR y u h8te me? http://imgur.com/17taPYZ,8q4KMnR,0PAUPSj http://imgur.com/17taPYZ,8q4KMnR,0PAUPSj#1 http://imgur.com/17taPYZ,8q4KMnR,0PAUPSj#2 EDIT: I won't provide pictures. Instead, guess how I did it. 2123m/s. Bear in mind this entry entry follows the rules to the letter - especially the fact that no wheel leaves the ground at any point.

The ksp land speed record is around 1100-1200m/s, acheived on the flats of minmus. At Kerbin sea level I will be pleased if I can break the speed of sound. Note: For the same of your challenge, I recommend mods/stock leaderboards, no glitch/bug exploits (I.e. no infinigliders) and the ability to refuse to accept any entry you deem unsuitable. But hey, I'll have a go! Edit: Does it have to be manned? Are seats ok? Are we allowed to stage? Edit edit: Just got to 412m/s! Go me!

Great. No points for orbit only then, but I'll be sure to pack one whatever. I'll test it in Munar gravity, see how well it works. If it works well, I might even give it wheels so it can drive around then climb mountains, although a hopper class craft would do better.

I never thought of having it on the lander - but it could certainly work. I'd have to take a traditionall Apollo mission there to find out.

Here's a pic for you of Jeb enjoying his new toy in the z-g testing chamber: It weighs about 935kg and has it's own custom mounting bracket. I'm bringing it whatever, because it's fun to have, but I thought a bonus for it (for !!SCIENCE!! purposes) would be neat. Strictly intended for whizzing around the ship for the hell of it, I could even conceivably cheat my way through many biomes, but I rather wouldn't. If I wanted huge bonuses, I'd spam kerbals and tiny rovers (I'm taking 12, 3 (2 unmanned, 1 manned)) instead.

If I have a manned MMU as well as a sci sat and rovers, can I count that as an extra 0.2 in the science section please? It does weigh about 1t.

Thanks. Expect to see some simple icons appear sometime.

I'd like to have a go at the buttons, please. A few questions, seeing as I've never tried anything like this before. Alpha means transparency, right? Do I have to change anything in photoshop to get alphas? 24x24 means 24px by 24px totals, like pixel art kinda? Any specific requirements? I'm totally new to this so I'll just be trying out skills, so don't expect art. Thanks for all your help.

p101! Woo! tenchars

What is this WITCHCRAFT?

This thread will have rewritten the rules of science by the time .23 comes out.

Yeah, I'ma try this too. It's good, and looks fun!

Behold! Map! You can just add up the numbers and rank them like that. Although, for anything with an atmosphere don't add the landing values to account for chutes. Good luck! Might try this later.

I built a 11t Tylo lander with it: There are 3 down below. They really are fantastic.
