KSP Mission Journal: Ninjahgoblin

[Ninjahgoblin]

Hello everyone. I wanted to start a "journal" to document my missions in a single area that I can manage.

I will post photos and video eventually. Mainly this is to share my experience, my ideas and builds.

Questions, comments and tips are welcome. Same with casual banter!

Playstyle: Heavily modified Career mode (Mechjeb, sandbox esq with contracts and tech tree): In essence I like Career mode as it gives the game reason. But I hated starting over, or having to crawl up the tech tree. So I adjusted the sliders in career mode and added a bunch of contract packs and part packs. Also adjusting the part files directly to make it so certain parts are available at start.

Mission Statement: To establish a foothold in the Kerbin Sphere of influence and to expand out into the solar system. Creating a network of satellites, refueling depots and space stations. Eventually moving to building sustainable bases and mining operations (mining is something I can't even imagine right now)

Current progress:

I started out by placing a Space station/fuel depot hybrid into orbit of Kerbin. I then launched the exact same station core I designed to the Mun and Minmus. Currently working on sending fuel tanks and escape pods to each of those stations.

• I just designed my first Heavy Lifter. Something I am rather proud of, being able to launch roughly 50 tones
  

• I just landed a Mun base (a bonafide science lander) that has the capability of house 11 kerbals. Using the Taurus Command module and a Science processing lab.
  

• I took a contract that had me totally evacuate my Mun Station and had to do an emergency landing on the Mun (with an escape pod with no landing features accept a chute). Setting my Mun base as the target landing zone. I came in on top of my Mun base, knocking out half of my Solar Arays. But resting snug next to it. In an upright position. I can even take off to Kerbin if need be. With either the Mun base or the the Escape pod.
  

• I am now designing an escape pod module and refueling module for my stations
  

• I am now designing a landing probe, satellite combo for Duna and or Eve.

If you would like to have the screenshots taken automatically for you, take a look at AutomatedScreenshots, a mod which I released yesterday.

Thank you! I'll take a look at this. F1 is not real hard. But being able to time them or sequence them in a proper fashion would be nice.

There will be an update in the next few days, with a pre-crash detection mode, so that if you are about to land (crash), it will be able to take more frequent screenshots.

Here are some images from my recent missions.

-Heavy lifter, upto 50t into LKO and can do planetary transfers

-Rescue mission to Minmus. I accidentally hit a stage to early on my lander. And had to send another one to pick them up.

-Docking images

-Mun base images

-Mun escape pod landing images.
