jimmymcgoochie Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I spent several hours searching for all the new anomalies and launch sites in 1.12; I’m pretty sure I found all the off-Kerbin anomalies and all the launch sites, but there might be some new anomalies on Kerbin that I missed, hidden within the “old” launch sites where SCANsat wouldn’t see them. As soon as I can, I’ll drive around all the launch sites to see what I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Fireworks in KSP, apart from being able to go "You know what Minecraft and KSP have in common?" I bet all the people who like to simulate military machines are going "Ooooh, colourful tank shells, I wonder how I can use this to have a massive tank battle with explosions going off everywhere and the tanks being able to fire them from their barrels?"

micha Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Installed KSP1.12 and continued my modded Kareer save. This included returning the first Kerballed mission from Minmus orbit back to Kerbin (yes, it's a fairly new career, but also almost as far as I've ever gotten - I tend to get bogged down building and maintaining stations and surface bases while my first one or two probes are enroute to Duna, as well as bug fixing and enhancing mods...). So far it all seems to work just ticketyboo.. but then again, I only use a dozen or so mods, not several hundred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davi SDF Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 I recreated the A-10 Thunderbolt in KSP! Being (almost) complete stock! https://imgur.com/r3xhnbP https://imgur.com/IBDqpVJ I had however to modify the game's files so the firework launcher has more "ammunition": https://imgur.com/Ox0FYzB It's pretty heavy actually! And i tested it on buildings! https://imgur.com/lYqvgz8 Now i will have to repair them all... perhaps that was not the best idea... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klapaucius Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 I built a firework cannon, placed it on Minmus and fired two Kerbals out of it . They of course survived and are now doing the stunt circuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymcgoochie Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Deployed a reusable Moon lander, which carried two crew down to my Moon base to fix up the deployed science stuff so it had enough power to actually work; also tested a fuel tanker to refuel said reusable Moon lander between Moon landings. One Saturn V equivalent to launch a tanker every three landings is much more economical than sending a new lander every time, especially with an active base on the surface. Speaking of which, I should probably make some kind of resupply probe to keep that base stocked up while it's occupied or it won't last much longer.

N_Danger Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Tested stuff for an up coming mission. Used the cheat menu to test ascent options for landers. The ladder test did not go well for Jeb And while testing ascent options things took a turn. Unsafe, inefficient but the most kerbal by far. I think I'll use it.

djr5899 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 So I started a new save... (this could be the title of 75% of my posts in this thread ) I am hoping this sandbox game is "the one." At least, this is the one I intend to finally visit every planet and moon. I figured with 1.12 release, this new save should be it. So, I've launched a few satellites into orbit, and I now have an unmanned probe parked in Kerbin orbit, waiting for transfer window to Jool, and a manned rocket parked in Kerbin orbit, waiting for transfer window to Moho. I've built one craft (one unmanned version and one manned version, so, er two craft) with close to 20k in dV (may come up short to Jool based on what I have seen) that I am hoping can be used to visit every celestial body. I think a big issue I have had in never visiting 60% of the bodies is that, I often played career or science mode...so I was always worried about not only visiting a body, but gathering science. In my sandbox save, I've scaled down. Instead of building a 20-30t lander packed with science stuff and hoping to be able to recover my kerbalnaut, I now have a 7-10t lander. Less weight to push, less dV to get me to the surface, etc. Here's my manned rocket taking off to park and wait for the Moho transfer window. I'm not big on mods. I use KER religiously, and [x] Science when playing career/science mode, but that's about it. I must say I'm loving the built in Alarm Clock and Transfer Window add-ons. I know there were similar mods out there (have used Alarm Clock a bit), but, this makes things so much simpler for me. To infinity, and beyond or something...

Ben J. Kerman Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 I am working on a truck. But it's not just a truck, it's also a plane. But it's not just that, it's also a boat! It's a truck/plane/boat! I am calling it the LSAV-5000. LSAV means "Land, Sea, and Air Vehicle" Pictures and videos coming soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSAV means "Land, Sea, and Air Vehicle" I am imagining something that looks like a large army duck (dukw) with wings that fold away. Shameless self promotion, but if you have my mod you could also have it be a submarine. A LSSAV. Edited June 27, 2021 by ColdJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben J. Kerman Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 It looks more like a regular truck with jet engines on the back and folding wings & wheels. I tested it, and it does not work well as a boat. Also, another thing I did in KSP today is break it. if you can help me, please go here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotel26 Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) This is Vitesse undergoing initial speed trials: She is inspired by my current (but long-running) Pacemaker round-Kerbin rover trip (which began in about March 2019, inspired by the illustrious @Triop). I have discovered that I can run fast with Pacemaker when the refuel tanker is out ahead and I set SAS to Target the tanker. If and when Pacemaker goes airborne, the RW paraphernalia will attempt to track the target ahead (maybe up to 150 km distant) and that seems sufficient to land a high-speed jump. My plan, therefore, is to set up a high-speed overland route with legs marked by flags. Vitesse will go fast on each leg until it approaches the next flag; then slow and turn to target the next flag. With experience, the engineer will learn what the fastest permissible speed on each leg is (and those can be marked into each flag). I've actually attempted this in the past with my Kannonball, but I think this craft, Vitesse, is. and looks. much less cumbersome. (My Victor II looks like an efficient machine to lay out a proposed route from the air...) In addition, I've found that driving jet-powered locomotives over hilly terrain is challenging because speed control is quite inexact. As a result, terrain knowledge guides the engineer, in advance, to how much power to apply in anticipation of what will be required to maintain a safe and expedient momentum. The chutes are for reserve and the rear brakeman is responsible for quickly repacking the chutes after an incident (which may have to be done "on the fly", as we like to say in the railroad business). But why? "Market surveys reveal that a surprising number of Kerbals are 'uncomfortable' with air travel."
