Majorjim!

I blasted off with high hopes of a return Eve mission with my new super DV asparagus lander. Well, its turns out I MASSIVELY underestimated Eve's gravity and atmosphere... Anyone made a successful manned return? I had to burn off 80% of my fuel before she would even twitch..... Back to the drawing board.

Yup there is a bug in the space center, causing the loooong load times. It seems that parts of the old space center have been left behind. Lazy Kerbal engineers..

Yeah I was a bit vague. Its fairly heavy so you need a decent size launch vehicle. I am still working out an annoying fuel bug so it can return. But I just took her to duna!

Define hard. It lagged a little sure, but technically it was easy as pie. I built a simple two stage launch vehicle. The second stage put me in orbit around the Mun and the lander, landed. I will take her to Duna next.

I will release it lander only Moxzot. check first post peeeeps!

Hi! I have been testing this in the new patch and all seems well. Apart from the constant sound and frame skipping I get now... I will make a few last tweaks and put it up on spaceport tomorrow. Shall I include a launch vehicle? It wont be anything special. Just enough to get the Mun. Which looks lovely now.

These are the landers stats according to Mech Jeb. TWR 2.13 Atmos dv 1827 m/s - 65s Vac dv 2132m/s - 75s Empty weight 30.61t

The devils work! Lol I will wait for the patch. Thanks for the comments guys, Gus I will find that out and let you know, off to work now. She does scrub off speed quickly with that skipper under her. And shes less laggy than the LOTUS.

Hi all, the H.E.X.A.D lander is not... on Spaceport. I messed up and uploaded a craft I thought was finished, It is not. Coming soon. new pics: Old, new pics. Download link: http://kerbalspaceprogram.com/hexad/ You cant.. Take her for a spin from the launch pad. MJ

That would be very cool indeed. Please do this! She was falling around 14m/s, I hadn't quick saved so I didn't want to risk too hard a landing and used a little thrust. I'm sure she can stand up to that speed. My Kerbin drop tests showed her to be very solid. I need to make some tweaks to enable a Duna return.

Good afternoon all, when I made this I had no idea someone had made one too until I saw a Scott Manley video about Star wars ships. The one I saw was stunning and miles more real looking than mine. BUT, It lagged to the point of being unusable. Pointless but pretty, like essex girls! Anyway, I wanted to make one that was usable, to fly to other planets and, land? That is a LONG way off but fly she does and can make quite a long journey. I want to have multiple probes to launch and a lander to fly down to what ever planet I am orbiting. At present there is zero lag with this ship and its quite stiff too. not too wobbly. Heres a pic of one of my first test flights. The engine array is unfinished.

Hi all, Just a quick one. I am thinking about making a huge muna lander and wanted to know what had been done by others. Have you guys seen any HUGE Muna or Duna landers?

Nice one Gus. I just hope its not too laggy for peeps. Oh, and O.W.L lander is getting an update!

Have you tried it? I'm very keen to find out if people can land it. post pics!

What do you guys think of it? I haven't heard any feedback yet.

Lol its nearly 1 year since you posted this. No sign of lag fixes. This is KSP biggest flaw. Its massive and its going to bite Squad firmly in the ass.

Fly safe.

Hi Oddbin, The usual KSP problems.. To build something interesting you have to use lots of struts and struts cause lag. This thing lags when near a planet but none when landed.. Im guessing the gravitational influence or slight errors in the physics calculations are causing the lander to flex slightly, causing the lag. I dont know.. I will be very interested in seeing what you guys make of it. It will be a totally open release so I give full permission to do whatever you want with it. in true KSP style.

Hi Shadowsun. I use a simple design of three stages, the third being the lander itself. I want to release this as a lander only simple because I don't like using other peoples launch rockets. They are so easy and quick to make I only ever use super simple designs that would ruin the look of the overall package. So, lander only. You guys can come up with a cool launch design. Also, all my KSP vehicles will be only rovers and landers now. I want the perfect lander! I would also like to say that the lag with this lander persists.. I have no idea what causes it. Does anyone know if clipping parts causes lag?

Hi all, So here it is. ready to go as a lander only release. It now has a three man hidden rover! It has enough fuel in the base for Mun orbit burn and landing. Top ascent stage has enough for Mun orbit, escape and Kerbin encounter. I'm super happy about this I hope you guys enjoy it! This is all you can see of the rover before its deployed. TA-DA! I took a while to make the rover and land it so I will try to upload the .craft file tomorrow. Night all. mj

Wait.. What?
