Premise: Going places in ksp is always a quick afair, but in real life you often just see the launch then months or years later you hear of the result. This series will try to replicate that by not using time warp. The clock will be set to earth time and on game boot will be warped to the present, only allowing preplanned manuver nodes to be performed in the catch up period. If quickloading is needed due to bad piloting then warp can be used to get back to the previous point. The system will be the OPM Kerbol system at normal scale with no life support mods. High energy transfer will be used quite a lot here, even if transfer window planner struggles in that middle range between hohfmann and brachistochrone. Part 1: Fleas and Orbiters Jumping Flea Hammer stack Adding an upper stage to the hammer stack makes a good orbiter Most of the way there Landed on this steep hill. Part 2: Moonshot The Miku series rocket. A swivel and 2 reliants make a decent LV. throttle is needed at maxQ. The 2 side tanks provide enough deltaV for transfer, landing and 1 short hop. the tiny tank in the middle provides enough for return. Boosters spent, almost in orbit Going for TMI. the pug takes a while to perform this. Approaching the Mun A small step for kerbal, a huge leap for rocket. A hop to a different biome ended up landing in this rock. Returning to Kerbin. The upgraded Miku III going to Minmus. The second rocket went also to there and while it ended up arriving at the descending node by chance, the transfer was also suboptimal resulting in a 3 day transfer instead of the 18h transfer this one achieved. A forth rocket was also sent to the Mun piloted by a new recruit, if you can even call it that considering the probe is required for a scientist to fly it. A Moho transfer window opens in a week and a few other planets can be brute forced in that time frame. Question is how much i want to farm Minmus for science considering how OP each sea being its own biome is, and if i should do a kerballed mission before a probe arrives at the destination. It is very unlikely the Kerbin system alone will be able to unlock any far future tech since i upped the cost to 10K

After the Golden Age of Aerospace Travel, spurred by J-Tech, events on Kerbin made space travel too expensive for a vast majority of companies. Because of this many kompanies left hardware and various pieces of infrastructure floating in orbit around the Kerbol System, slowly decaying. 40 years later, a new company emerged from the ashes from J-Tech, dead set on returning the Kerbal Race to its former glory. AtomicTech, a Science and R&D kompany, worked hard to prepare itself and the Kerbal Race for a decades-long kampaign to reclaim and recolonize the Kerbol System. Mission Log: Spacecraft/Hardware Log Space Stations Log Kerbonaut Log Chapters Chapters 6 and 7 coming soon.

So I'm playing with Uncharted Lands, and I think the star looks a whole lot like Epsilon Eridani... So I though "Why not have the Kerbol system 101/2 kerbal light years away?". And since I'm so bad at Kopernicus (Yes, it's genuinely badness at it, not the fact I haven't tried. Trust me, I have, you don't have to lecture me on how to do it, though. ), I don't want to make it myself, because it's gonna turn out terribly. So why not have everyone do this project for me do this sort of thing for anyone else who feels sort of the same as me? Seriously, I think it's a great idea, especially for some sort of roleplay thing, which is kind of a thing I want to start doing in the near future. I mean, just imagine the possibilities!

hi

I was looking at some beautiful KSP fanart, and system to scale and I realised that it would be fun to make Kerbol system map in photoshop, so I opened photoshop and just painted. After few minutes, this is what was left: http://i.imgur.com/qqkvYIb.jpg If you made some nice Kerbol system map or fanart or even system map of your own map, be sure to show it to me

I made the main bodies of the Kerbol System, (Kerbol-Eeloo) entirely in PlanetMaker (planetmaker.wthr.us) Reply if you have created models of the Kerbol system of some sort. -made by planet-creations (with a profile pic of Kerbin)
