International Eve Base, Accepting new builders!

[panzerknoef]

NOTE!: A small "hiccup" in the forums caused this thread to be deleted together with 2 others, any last minute posts that i possibly haven't yet read should be reposted as soon as possible. I appoligize for the inconvience and hope this thread will just go on! Pictures will be reuploaded as soon as i can do so.

We have a logo now! thanks to jpvalery, be sure to check out his site: www.jpvalery.com !

Hello, I am starting a new project here and now, and I hope that many people will join in the fun! The project is to start a base wich is then downloaded by people, expanded and then uploaded to this post again. the next person will download that file etc. I think this could be a very nice project and I hope that you think the same about it. The base right no is pretty big since it's not a actually a new project anymore, but actually a revived thread that was swallowed by the forums.

And don't forget to upload pics of expansions you've made. And also give a part count of your module, this allows for better planning of the sub-bases (more info about the sub-bases can be found in this thread). This thread is not only ment for the KSP pro's, but for everyone who plays the game!

Base 1 is at a pretty high latitude so if you want to make it without using tons of fuel, changing your inclination on a highly eliptical orbit is the best

As for the orbital station, it just works as it always does, you dock up your module and done! For the station i am gonna imply a 100 part limit to somewhat prevent lagg

Mission report about your modules etc can be posted here: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/60831-IEB-Mission-Reports%21

I would really enjoy it if you posted your reports there!

...wow.............................

[draeath]

No images, here...

[panzerknoef]

No images, here...

As I said, i will upload them as soon as I have a computer at my disposal, i've done all this just on my phone!

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

At least it's back up.

Another question, will there ever be a outpost on gilly?

GILLEH

[Rowsdower]

Can't wait to see what comes of this.

[KittyProgram]

I would LOVE to apply. I'll get a module there, soon.

[panzerknoef]

Okay, i'll type your name In the builders queue, i'll give you a heads up when it's your turn.

I shall now also briefly explain the sub-base system we are handling for minimizing lagg. The system is rather easy, instead lf building one big base i have chosen to divide it up into several smaller sub-bases, each sub-base is placed at least 2.6km away from all already existing bases. Using this system should allow us to build a big base while still maintaining a survivable framerate

[Szkeptik]

The mission reports link is not working. The thread itself is still there though, so it's just a link problem.

I'd also like to see something on Gilly, but everyone should add whatever they want.

[Richy teh space man]

Good to see this back up and running again

[panzerknoef]

Link is fixed, and I too have been thinking about a gilly outpostish thing

Here's a poll for voting on what you want!

Hurrah, i have managed to add the pictures of the original post! Yay

[Tiberion]

panzer, if you need to recover anything from the old thread, Google has your back: Link

[Skyler4856]

A gilly base sounds interesting

[panzerknoef]

Thanks Tiberion! Very usefull. And yes Gilly base sounds fun, and for now it seems like we're getting one!

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

a quick question, where is the mission reports thread?

Edit; Never mind

Edited January 12, 2014 by SpaceSphereOfDeath

[SpaceSphereOfDeath]

I'm done, I'll get the save file back ASAP.

[panzerknoef]

I've taken the liberty of launching a Gilly Outlook for starting the outpost. I'll adjust the save file and upload pics to the mission reports and OP

[Captain Sierra]

If people do not mind, would it be okay if I were to start a modular base somewhere for my mission? By modular I mean like this:

Note, this one would require you to master the art of precision parachute landing.

[Sylandro]

Is it okay if i join in again? I want to add a probe to the gilly outpost

[panzerknoef]

Sure Captain Sierra, that looks like a boss!!

And yes Sylandro you sure can, there's quite a wait though. I shall write you down in the list again.

[Captain Sierra]

It's derived off of Temstar's base pack. I am actually trying to get in touch with him. I've been developing a derivative version thereof designed for interplanetary transit and atmospheric landings. So far, earliest prototypes are capable of landing on every planet except Jool and Tylo. And I see this as quite a trip, most Eve 'bases' are the remains of failed landers since it's so hard to do crew rotation on Eve.

I'll get to work. Modular bases aren't super easy and I want to get the sub-structure (the truss parts) done in the first launch. This is gonna be one heck of a mission involving some serious lag on my end. heck, I might even have fuel left over in the cruiser so I can dock the tanks to the station.

[panzerknoef]

Is that all stock or modded Captain Sierra?

[Captain Sierra]

Yes, it's stock. The entire kit has kethane modules but the use of those is always optional. Conveniently enough, by me having kethane (assuming nobody before me did), teh scan mask data gets imprinted in the persistence so I'll be dropping my base right on top of a kethane deposit, which will only matter if this collab ever does incorporate kethane.

I do use some modded parts but those are parts mostly used for mega-size transfer stages and for lifters, all of which I am pretty firm about de-orbiting. If I use mod parts, they will have smacked into solid ground and destroyed before anyone else gets the save file.

[Sylandro]

The probe will be sent on friday. It's a quick way to get around gilly. Comes with a refueling module, too
