Yeah, me either. It ever take more than one failed attempt for you to realize you couldn't actually pan the image? It's so embarrassing every time my friend does it...

Socraticat Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Introducing the New and Improved "OneOscar" Fan Club Member Coin! Pictured Above: The Newest Iteration of Club Member Coin- Representing the sentiment that Early Access really is for those brave enough to venture into KSP2 while the enemy is scaled to unreasonable difficulty. Featuring the flagship "OneOscar" FG reaching beyond Kerbin despite the challenges faced... (Or maybe it represents despondance, the crew report just says, "We've got to get outta here! The Kraken is coming!" which has officially been interpreted by Administration to be read as excitement rather than fear) Join the Club and this Sweet Flair can be yours too! CHOO CHOO!!! L8R H8RS!

Wheehaw Kerman Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) On 5/11/2023 at 10:01 AM, Socraticat said: There was a poll recently asking about Morale. I voted positively and found learned that I'm the only one that voted "Love it, can't wait to play more." Poll is closed now. Feeling kinda lonely on the hype train lately... Anyway... Here's another launch: I voted optimistically in that poll too. Maybe it’s because I’m an old fart, but I had been braced for high hardware requirements since announcement, lowered my expectations when EA was announced, further lowered them when we saw the ESA event footage, and tend not to put a heck of a lot of faith in pre-release hype anyhow. More importantly, having put north of 5,000 hours into KSP since 2013, I saw the game develop from something far smaller, jankier, buggier and uglier than KSP2 EA into the awesomeness of 1.12.5. Even the delta between 1.0 and 1.12.5 was impressive. This video shows it well: https://youtu.be/mp4IIcM66MU So although I was a little disappointed in the state of the EA, I’m optimistic that IG, working with a team an order or two of magnitude larger, a clear plan, and with much more funding and support can take KSP2 EA much farther than Squad took KSP.

Socraticat Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 (edited) I tried some fooling around on Minimus. It was a disaster. Ready for more bug reporting, I guess. Trying to fly through the garage was much more fun, but I still think I can do better.

TwoCalories Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Took my F/A-18E Super Hornet for a spin. I flew it all the way to the desert peninsula west of the KSC to get the beautiful views. The Hornet is a beautiful aircraft, did the 4-Bridge Challenge with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoSBoL Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Was reminded yesterday that I had some unfinished business with getting a Dragon in orbit. Went suprisingly well, took me 'only' 3 launch attempts. Next stop, land it somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socraticat Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 This week I've been obsessed with getting rovers working. This is the second attempt at my "Garage Tops" challenge, nearly a full minute faster than my first attempt! (which was technically my 4th, but that's on the editing floor. The craft file is here for anyone that wants in on this. https://pastebin.com/J3PADEsM Original vid here: Spoiler I had been inspired by @GalileOh-No to load up rovers again and it just spiraled this week... I want to also thank @regex for inspiring me to try to go farther than anticipated. It may not have been your intention, but I remembered your efforts from a while ago and decided to give rovering off-site a try. It was a super awful bugged journey. I definitely recommend the garage. 4 minutes of driving without flipping, bouncing, jumping, or getting sucked under... It does make me excited for some of these ground contact issues to be fixed. This was a LOT of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbal space program Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 (edited) I made my first KSP2 spaceplane, which I hope will eventually become the Laythe lander in a Jool5 ship, a Mk2 cockpit with 4 RAPIERs and 2 Nervs: The RAPIER engine seems to perform pretty much the same in KSP2 as it did in KSP1: But I could still only reach orbit with 1200-1300 m/s dV left, even on a very good run, because the extreme bulkiness of the hydrogen tanks vs. the old LF tanks made it very hard to ship enough fuel for the Nervs: I actually had to cheat a little to do even this well, by clipping 4 additional hydrogen tanks in to a long+short cargo bay combo that only had enough volume to hold the equivalent of 3. So unless you want to cheat harder by sweeping even more H2 tanks under the rug clipping them into cargo bays, it seems that the days of single-stage to Laythe and back space planes in the Mk1 1 and 2 formats are gone! I saw that they made up for the obnoxious bulkiness of the hydrogen fuel by upping the ISP of the SWERVE to 1450, but if they're leaving it at 900 for the Nerv, I think they ought to rename it the Nerf. I haven't tried Mk3 yet. Maybe the better volume--to-surface-area ratio in that format will make it less of a problem, or at least maybe that format will be big enough to support the higher ISP engine. For now I guess I'll just have to refuel this plane on orbit so it can make the trip, that is if I can land it!

Socraticat Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 After having been so inspired by a few community members to do Rovers last week, I decided to give back to the community with footage from this week's really great "Build a Space-Station" Challenge. I had a great rendevous capture, and a so-so orbital assembly experience. They were good enough that I took time to make two tutorials- One for "Rendevous" and one for "Orbital Assembly". I have been watching a few of you all working on these orbital fortresses; It's about time I tried my own- the "OneOscar" Space Program is in need of a proper traveling fortress. Now that I've built a truss I'm afraid I'll have to replace it. I can't believe I didn't put Sr. Docking Ports in the middle of the truss to shorten the entire station. Just silly... Learn something new everyday... Speaking of learning, I hope these two videos give people some tools to succeed in KSP2. I'm no rocket scientist, but I do consider myself as a lifelong student. The tutorials I make are usually just things I've learned through the years of playing KSP. Some things are tricks in-game that work for me, a few of them might not work for everyone. I hope you enjoy them, and if you don't, I hope you leave feedback so I can make better media for the community. FLY SAFE! Both of these Videos can be found in the KSP2 Tutorial Section if you want to lead anyone to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalileOh-No Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Started work on the Space Station Weekly Challenge Edit - Here's its story: Edited June 2, 2023 by GalileOh-No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarMetis Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Today I landed on Eve for the first time in KSP2. My build initially had 15k dV, which was more than enough to get to the purple jewel in the heavens. I initially tried for a mothership kind of design with using hydrogen in my upper stage, but it didn't pan out as well as I hoped it would. Hopefully I'll come up with a better design in the future, but it managed to work. Eve is astonishingly beautiful from every angle. Orbiting Eve at around 120,000 m (not the most clear pic of my upper stage): Spoiler Sacrificed pod to Eve, parachutes are deployed a little high just to be safe: Spoiler Splashdown!

Starhawk Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 The last few days have allowed me to squeeze in a bit of KSP2 time so I worked on the weekly challenge and built and moved a space station. Here's the first module, containing some fuel, some docking ports, some antennae, and a cupola for taking in the views. And here is the second module being docked to the first one. And here is the launch of the interplanetary tug. And here is the station in Duna orbit. Now all it needs is a lander. And maybe some kerbals. Happy landings!

Socraticat Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) I started an Elcano. I was live. I'm dialing in my live settings. Craft is dialed in best I can figure for Early Access. This thing is a go! I'll continue with part 3 tomorrow. The trip so far is in my 'live' archive.

stephensmat Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 I'm looking up tutorials for building bigger ships, and space stations. The OAB is something I'm really looking forward to. There's no reason I can't get some practice in building things whole, instead of trying to figure out how to launch them in segments.

Socraticat Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) I went on an Elcano Yesterday- the start of one. I'm currently condensing the footage into something more manageable since I've recently been recording and setting up for HD. I really need to install that new SSD. Here's the progress so far: The craft is called "GarageMonster" It is the "OneOscar" Program's latest Publicity stunt to show it's not a "one-trick pony", just a One-Oscar B fuel tank pony. The Starting Point- The goal is to follow lowlands and flats as much as possible. The vehicle has some pilot assist countermeasures for Kraken attacks like this one. The ground likes to take the vessel sharply off-course (see my first bug report vid), but I've developed some SOP's for this vessel in preparation for this mission. The research began at the garage... Following the flats is easy enough. Next up is some highlands? There's definitely challenges ahead. This is the point I'll start from within an hour or two. I think I can get across these hills. Yesterday was promising. Follow me here to watch when I broadcast Edited June 2, 2023 by Socraticat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
