The KSP forum plays: KSP

[Tex]

Due to the considerable success of the "KSP Forum plays: Spore" thread, I've decided that we should also try an experiment in making our own career mode in KSP!

Without further ado, here is where we begin:

First, we must decide what our name should be!

Then, what flag should we have?

[SuperBigD60]

stripes for the flag

[Captain Sierra]

Hmmm. I'll put my vote in for that.

Let's go with Spheres and call it . . . ForumPlays just sounds too uninventive, so . . . I can't think of anything right now so whoever else comes up with something, I defer to them.

[Tex]

Alrighty, the vote for the name is still open, and whoever's next gets first choice between Stripes or Spheres for the flag.

[The Destroyer]

Spheres! Stripes are boring.

[ICrashRockets]

Retro ksp logo! There ain't no flag like a classy flag.

[Legendary Emu]

BLORBS!

tenchar

[Tex]

Spheres flag wins! (Had two votes compared to anything else)

The vote is still open for the name of the space agency.

[Spartwo]

Spacing out.

[Tex]

Finished.

Alrighty then, what should be the first order of business for Spacing Out?

[Moon Goddess]

VAB,

Mk1 pod

parachute

solid booster,

launch

[Tex]

Here's your vessel, built as requested:

The launch went swimmingly, and I got an EVA report from the pad just before liftoff.

The parachute worked as intended, and you can see that we're landing just a bit downrange from the KSC. After spashdown, I managed to get some pretty good science, including a crew report whilst flying.

And here's our Science:

What's our next move?

[The Destroyer]

Get some decouplers, land on the Mun, return, and get that nice science! Wait, not the Mun, Minmus!

[Sylandro]

Take some delicious samples of the Launch Pad.

[Tex]

Objectives confirmed, will complete the mission and update with pictures when I get back home.

Why thank you.

[Tex]

Why thank you.

XD It's my pleasure. Also, be sure to throw a rock at another species for me.

[The Destroyer]

XD It's my pleasure. Also, be sure to throw a rock at another species for me.

...You can't throw rocks in spore.

[Holo]

...You can't throw rocks in spore.

I think you can, but if not sticks are basically rocks and you can definitely throw sticks.

[Tex]

Alrighty, here's what went down!

So what is our next move now?

[The Destroyer]

Good job! I wasn't sure if you could do it. Now, with the new parts- Mun. Science ALL THE THINGS!

[Tex]

I wasn't sure if you could do it.

Hah. Wasn't sure if I would be able to either! But hey, you told me to, and I had to do it. Gotta engineer your way around problems, amrite?

I'll get to work on the Mun here in a li'l bit!

[Tex]

Alrighty, here's the mission.

Thus far.

I'll explain in a moment.

So as you can see... My distractedness resulted in this pickle. What should we do now?

[Taki117]

So as you can see... My distractedness resulted in this pickle. What should we do now?

Salvage the mission! Make a course correction to get your Mun Encounter back and if you have the fuel land, if you don't just do the EVA reports. (dV calculation will be required after re-encounter)

[Sylandro]

WE NEED TO SEND A KERBAL INTO ORBIT. NOW. Please and thank you of course.
