Easter Kerbal Challenge

[QF9E]

It's time for the Kerbal Space Center annual Easter Hunt! Rather than eggs, the objective is to collect all the  Easter Kerbal volunteers who have positioned themselves in various places around the KSC. You must deliver them to the helipad on the roof of the administration building in time for the annual KSC Easter Brunch.

Each Easter Kerbal delivered to the helipad gains you a number of points:

• The first Easter Kerbal delivered is worth 60 points;
• The second Easter Kerbal delivered is worth 120 points;
• The third Easter Kerbal delivered is worth 180 points;
• The fourth Easter Kerbal delivered is worth 240 points;
• The fifth Easter Kerbal delivered is worth 300 points.

These points are cumulative, so if you, e.g., deliver 4 Easter Kerbals, you gain 60 + 120 + 180 + 240 points = 600 points.

Each second of challenge time loses you one point. We will be using universal time (UT) to determine this: note the UT at the start of your craft's takeoff run and the UT when the last Kerbal delivered steps onto the helipad. The difference between the two counts as the challenge time.

Most points wins!

It's up to you how many Easter Kerbals you deliver. Choosing not to deliver all Easter Kerbals may even be a good strategy, if collecting one takes more time than the number of points you gain from them.

Notes:

• You may, if you so wish, use more than one craft to deliver your Kerbals. In that case, the starting time is the UT at the start of your first craft's takeoff run.
• The Easter Kerbals may walk around (to, e.g., walk towards your craft landed nearby) but they may only leave the building they started on via your craft. No dropping to the ground or using their parachutes.
• What type of craft you use is entirely up to you. I tested the challenge with a helicopter but any craft or combination of crafts is fine.

To enter the challenge, download the save game with the Easter Kerbals in position at the following link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1QsAufkCKMIKspyg-bcrFfmCeduz0N2qX?usp=sharing

Rules:

• To keep the playing field as level as possible, please limit yourself to Stock + DLC parts only. Visual mods are fine, as are mods that only add information such as KER and MechJeb.
• No excessive parts clipping, cheats (this includes mods like HyperEdit or Vessel Mover) or Kraken drives.

Submissions:

Either post a video of your flight, or a series of screenshots. Please show at least the following:

• Each of your craft at takeoff, with the universal time (UT) at takeoff
• Your craft picking up each Easter Kerbal
• All Easter Kerbals delivered to the helipad, standing on the helipad. To avoid confusion, don't show any Kerbals except the Easter Kerbals. Also show the universal time the moment you deliver your final Easter Kerbal.
