Sounds fair, but i wouldn't compare KER with auto-pilot, auto-docking, auto-aiming and i don't know what else MJ does. Engineer only gives stats.

@ obi_juan It's called "The Grand Orbital Space Station Challenge" it's about bases in orbit, so no point for your landers, that's a different challenge. Plus the use of mechjeb should cost you points, as many of us do their manoeuvers manually.

You don't need MJ to enjoy the game, I only use Kerbal engineer and i have been everywhere in the system. (because yes, it saves times to know your Dv before launching) No need for auto pilot or any other cheat.

i hope we'll have a few more days to work our stations. I had to start a new save (on the career update, i did convert my save to career instead of science, so i have most of the biomes, but no money ...i wish i could tranform it back...) anyway here's a work in progress Big version : http://i.imgur.com/zqjS2sh.png i'm taking screenshots on the fly, and will post a detailled album(thanks for the method) only mod is kerbal engineer

I still have all the ships used, so if i understand well, i should post a screenshot on the launchpad for each My question, how do i make and imgur album like everybody ? I tried album but didn't get understood, tried quoting others...nothing interesting in their links to understand do i need to login there ? I might build a new station, to reach 1000 tons

Some of my stations They don't all follow the rules, but they are from some time ago Around Minmus Big version http://i.imgur.com/XZhxDkN.jpg 923 tons Big version http://i.imgur.com/DdWXFpN.jpg 668 tons Big version http://i.imgur.com/mzopGqn.jpg

FPS count is not great but still playable, the main problem is when i get within a few kilometers, i know the precise moment when it gets loaded into ram. only the first asteroid was captured with a manned vehicle, since then i use remote ships (first is the one on the left in the first picture)

It now has 3 As, 2 Bs, one C and one D I have to add more parts to the station because next up...i'll be adding an E asteroid.

hi guys, here's my current mission : get the most asteroids i can on a space station. i have 4 at the moment. 2 A asteroids, one B asteroid, and a D one which needed 4 rockets alone to bring to the station. Big one is nearly 200 tons (with the small rocket) To dock the last and big one it was easier to turn the whole station than the asteroid. NO cheats used, only mod is flight engineer which isn't 0.235 ready

thanks guys to get a good encounter, i did a few orbits around the sun until i could get eeloo at the crossing of jool's orbit, it was then easier to encounter

thank you, i like big ships. About the nuclear engines, i would probably keep the number, but place them differently. maybe only 4 on the return stage, and move the other 4 (2 on each tank) So that when i undock an empty tank to gain T/W ratio, i duck 2 nukes too. acceleration would take more time, but at a better efficiency. Concerning stability no problem here, the clamp senior is quite strong, even with a 90° angle and 4 nukes. i didn't try with a bigger engine. launcher is this one : for bigger parts i use bigger launchers, some total 1000 parts, and my biggest yet is 2400 tons

Hi there, here's how i went to Eeloo: First, assembling ship around Kerbin : third part : after part 4 and the lander, i went to a minmus orbit, then did a refuel mission : i then had above 7500 delta V, so time to go: Ship returning to kerbin (strangely, flight engineer got stuck after complete assembly of the ship): Score : i had 3 assigned groups to get "surface", "near" and "high over" in one trip. Too bad i forgot a thermometer, an eva report, and all crew reports. 12 nuclear engines is enough to go to Eeloo in a few minutes from minmus, if i had to redo it, i'd probably would separate my nukes, so i don't end up with 8 on the return flight, might save some fuel can share the .craft (s) is somebody is interested, only mod used is flight engineer part 3 was tricky, so i ended up emptying the top tank first to loose weight on top my ships are beetwen 200-350 parts each
