It seems like I'm not going to get added to the leaderboard

Atleast 2 kerbal are needed to make a colony, I agree with you Teilnehmer

Fixed it, thanks

Hey guys, The Duna X Challenge Introduction: Space K has been thinking about colonising Duna (with atleast 2 Kerbals). But they don't know how to! The president of Kerbin has announced that the first to colonise another planet will get Minmus for all their dessert needs! No time to waste you screamed loudly to your own PC, you drove to the KSC on the way there you downloaded all the mods you needed and started building! (Don't use cheaty mods and yes, you know what I mean) Free Minmus dessert is the best kind of dessert. What does it entail? Create a Kerbal colony on Duna. Be creative! You can do anything you want! Examples: -Rovers -Satellite network -Planes How will I be rated? How creative is your colony? Are the rockets realistic? (Not like the typical 0.19 space station rockets with like 10 poles with docking ports dangling on the side) How big is your colony? Leaderboard: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Debug menu and config edits are NOT allowed Everybody can rate eachothers colony (Please do this on a scale from 1 to 16,7) I will take everybody's rating into account! I will try to answer every question there is ASAP! Tips/Suggestions are always welcome! Good luck engineers!

Right, I'll give it a try - - - Updated - - - Aight, its too hard to create a plane that can land on the water and kinda looks like the sea dart. I think people don't join in because the challenge is too hard.

Well here is my entry! http://imgur.com/a/66BhL I was going to land it on Laythe but after some quick calculations I came to the conclusion I would need 2.01 times the mass of my dry mass as wet mass with Isp = 800s Which would mean about 75 Tanks I used in my upperstage I also calculated it with Xenon tanks and I would need 500 of the 1,25m kind. Maybe I'll get some mod with those nice engines of 20000s Isp in vacuum! Points I'd get: 1639.38281*1*128.83682=211213 Points.

This is going to be a challenge!

This is my kind of mod

Eh I could do that if you guys want to try it. Just tell me

Mhhhh, good point, never really thought about that. I guess someone will need to try both the ways with the same exact rocket, and see what is better. This can be easily incorrect information though... Humans make mistakes. Someone here who has a good explaination on what is the best?

Pictures incoming - - - Updated - - - http://imgur.com/a/8s7H3

I'm doing this exact thing right now, i'm going to land right now!!! - - - Updated - - - You can transfer them! Thanks for all the great help guys!!! (and the occasional girl here)

Good point, I guess I will have to try that out

Yeah I thought about quickloading, but I don't wanna cheat So I guess I will need to pay the price and grab 'em - - - Updated - - - I have added some pictures! - - - Updated - - - A lot of reaction wheels are needed... - - - Updated - - - Maybe even RCS

I have landed a craft next to it already, but then I realised I couldn't EVA them. - - - Updated - - - I have already saved the pilots in the craft (Jeb and Val) but I couldn't transfer my tourists to the craft. Now the wreckage is like a totem pole for my Minmus base ;-; I guess the Klaw is gonna be my best bet... I'll keep you guys updated with the state of my lovely tourists :'-(
