Slam_Jones Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) Worked on a few cars. They don't handle particularly well (yet) but they do pack quite a bit of speed, usually capable of 100m/s+. Stock parts with TweakScale for panel sizing and DCK for the paintjobs and rims. Edit: Speaking of, is there a wheel tuning guide somewhere on these forums? So far I've been basically just adjusting random values and seeing what happens... ) R-5 Turismo R-6 Kadet Also took a comparison shot of my newest car vs my first one from this batch... they've been getting much smaller over time, apparently. (R-6 on the left and R-1 on the right) Edited October 16, 2017 by Slam_Jones Grammar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Vortex Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Brothers in planetary exploration, the duna flyer, and the duna rover. The flyer has an exploration wound from a rough landing.. its nose lacks a canard, but turned off, it still flies nice and stable.

scottadges Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 (edited) Work continues on my First Joolian Mission. Last night I put a survey orbiter around Minmus. Pretty basic stuff, but it was fun after designing spacecraft for several nights to actually launch one! She's a modified version of my Kerbin Science Orbiter. Not much more than a reactor, survey dish, and an antenna. But she's got 29,000 dV in that Ion engine!

JadeOfMaar Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 The botany lab and the non-propellant tank modules arrived at the MOLE core station. Afterwards I tried designing a 2-seat escape craft, and did a suborbital test launch and test landing. It went very well-- even perfect. I'm hesitant to send it up as I'd like it to have 3+ seats. As I write this I realize I'm designing it wrong-- giving it enough dV to get to the station from low orbit, rather than just enough to deorbit. Later on I setup Galactic Neighborhood, GPP, Extrasolar and OPM in a fresh 1.3.1 install. I forgot to actually look for OPM in the neighborhood as I was happy enough just to finally see some neighborhood stars and see Extrasolar up close-- though without any visual mods installed.

Halfdan Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 as a reward for their long and faithfull service (and because i kinda allways wanted to build a wheel station) i decided that jeb, bill, bob and val were to get their own little space staion and a sweet ride to get them there so here is my first space wheel station and a small shuttle to get the guys there (and also lets them visit other orbital installations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingPete Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Landed Val on the Mun in early career. Ran out of fuel but managed to use the Get Out and Push method to reach a safe orbit. Transmitted enough science to be able to send Jeb in a better rescue craft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholaiRen Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 Started a new career, naming the missions after the periodic table(inspired from the space program story). This is my first really career where I know what I'm doing. My first career, it was on easy, didn't get a ship into orbit well into 70 launches.

JadeOfMaar Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Decided to attempt a quick sandbox adventure in the stock system. Something without life support and which I can race through. So in comes the prototype "Laythe Sailor" medium SSTO and its transfer ship. The plane was supposed to not be an SSTO and have some drop tanks but for whatever reason, staged tanks of any sort just wouldn't drain first.

UranianBlue Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 tried landing a Space Shuttle on Eve. I used a warp drive to get it there. However, I forgot to add radiators: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jett_Quasar Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Today I worked on my SSTO Viper... Ya OK everyone has built one of those, but mine has a little something extra... It's docked to the Battlestar Galactica - Jett Edit: Now I have to start working on the rag tag fugitive fleet...

Immersive Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Made a combination part-hauler/tug/refueller, with a non-stacking drill on the nose, and a claw on the tail (using SpaceY interstage fairing). Discovered that I can plan orbital rendezvous using MechJeb's Hohmann transfer planner!!! After the tug rendezvoused, attached the rear-facing drill using construction ports. Then landed the miner on (Galileo's) Iota. (Mods pictured: USI, Kerbal Foundries2, Ven's Stock Revamp, Stockalike Mining Extension, MechJeb, SpaceY, Galileo's Planet Pack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Kerman Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Today the Jupiter Return Project returned back to Earth. Almost 5 years ago I sent this probe all the way up to Jupiters SOI, and now after a successful reentry it has landed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geschosskopf Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 I came across the best natural "fake" visual I've ever seen. By "fake", I mean a scene that looks more like it was shot on a soundstage than actually in space. And by "natural", I mean it really was in space but looked fake, as opposed to actually being a deliberate fake such as in the Faking a Moon Landing challenge. So here was are. As you can see, it looks very much like the space station's lights are shining on a scale model of the planet's surface stuck to the soundstage wall only about 10m behind the "model" of the station. Actually, the station is full size and 180km above the real planet surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Alternis Kerbol, where you have all the same bodies as in stock, but their orbits are totally rearranged. In AK, Kerbin is one of moons of Jool. Also, they've all had custom geographical and/or color makeovers (hence Jool is blue and the map of Kerbin is very different) and a fair number have also had changes to size/gravity/atmosphere. Plus Eve has rings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
