Nice ones, Failed mine because i failed to bring Science Containers down...only ended up with 1024, now I'm considering a big big one flying multiple SOIs, but only landed on Dres (and a bonus on Dres)...

Done, and congrats! I'll overlook that little extra landing due to awesomeness and the fact that it didn't actually help you in any way :D

Awesome, Love this Challenge and All the Science Grind i went through !!! Will use some Planet Packs like that Tekcate to extend it, and will make some of my own Planets & Moons to extend it myself...(That Spade is a part of the incoming Kronos Planet Pack, Currently working on Orbin, that'll be placed between Moho and Eve, It'll be the smallest Planet the mod adds)

@5thHorseman

Rule Suggestion : Only 1 Science Grind is allowed per Mission (You can't just Grind some Science after Grinding them earlier except if you do a Mission before that Second Grind)

That could get sticky and really, how much does it change?

What is a science grind? Is grabbing a reading on the launch pad after you unlock a new device "grind?" what about doing both the launch pad and runway? What about hopping over to KSC and the crawlway? The VAB is *right* *there* so that can't be really considered a grind now, can it?

All to prevent a couple dozen science.

A better rule may be that you can only go into R&D and unlock nodes once between missions, but even that I'm not too hot on.

It's been a "while"... @FloppyRocket, any updates ?

I did 2 Expansion missions while i was away...

This...

And this...(The second one is harder than Ernus)

@5thHorseman, If you don't mind, I'll make an Album of those 2...

Just giving you the idea of how much an Ernollo would look like...a poorly executed one actually.

The second one might be easier to deal with in terms of heating than Ernus, the rest are very likely harder.

The Arkollo one is very fun to execute, i made that Arkanus myself, while Tekcate was made by Xenonmax.

And there's still Orpollo and Tarkollo to look forward. ;)

After a long break I finally got back to play KSP. And I have to say, there is no better way to explore the shiny new parts and tools than doing a well designed Challenge.

I started off with a very lightly modded game:

  •  [x] Science
  • KAC
  • EVE

The albums of Kerpollo and Minpollo are here:

Welcome to the challenge! I hope you find it as fun and challenging as I did :)

Me as well...still extending now while I'm working on my upcoming Mod.

If you want to try doing Arkollo, i can give you Arkanus and Tarkus configs...

Status Report ???

Maybe you want to have a look at those 2 Extra missions ?

Well I was quite busy  with real life (new job, move to another town etc). But I did a Jool5 test run in Sandbox mode. Now I'm doing the real thing.  I tried to record a video, but my hard drive don't have enough free space. So I will stick with imgurls sorting mess :)

What extra missions? Doing a OPM Kerpollo? To be honest I don't see much merit: It's basically Sandbox since I already maxed my Science tree.


However to try the new stuff in breaking ground I will restart a career run, which will be inspired by this challenge, but a lot easier (means: Allowed probes, you can return to a body under certain conditions, no science lab but, to make things more interesting USI-LS   etc).

Regards, Jost
