I believe I heard somewhere, Squad are planning to do a major improvement to the wheels "soon". "soon" could be a century or a second. deal with it. When I want to know if I'm landing on land or the sea when coming back to Kerbin, I always come back when its Night time. so I can't see.

I was using my KRS Daedalus (Kerbal Rescue Service) to pick up Jeb who got stranded on the Mün. Unfortunatly when i pressed the x key to cut my engines, it didn't stop (thanks to my 4 year old keyboard) in the end, when it did stop, I had a encounter with Minmus, my periapsis at 50km, I burnt into orbit, and landed, and managed to get back to my CSS (Crete Space Station) and then got picked up by my BCT (Bystander Crew Transport). I was planning on doing a Minmus mission, but kept having problems (not enough fuel, not enough thrust, not enough manoeuvrability etc.)

Mediafire. I'm with you Majorjim ^

KRS Daedalus, Kerbal Rescue Service Daedalus. saved Jeb on my first, and failed attempt to get to the moon. I landed, but the engine broke due to landing at high speeds and misplaced landing gear. The KRS Daedalus is suitable for rescue operations in Kerbins sphere of influence

Yep. Thats the most obvious, just build a ship which is good enough to get the krakens attention, then it'll wake up.

On another post (worst crash/bug post) I wrote this Just completed my HUGE Space station (PRSS, Particle Research Space Station) in a 320 KmX321Km orbit (based of the ISS) it has part of of 1120 (approx.) then sent one about half the size to the Mun. then sent one just smaller than the IMSS (Intergalactic Munar Space station) to Minmus (MMFCS, Minmus Mint Food Co. Station) went back to the Space Center to admire my work, then I looked and they were not there, restarted not there. There were 120 Kerbals on the PRSS, 70 on the IMSS, and 63 on the MMFCS, I have about I have about 250 Kerbals M.I.A I'm dreading the end of the week when I have to write reports, so far I've Sent all the engineers, scientists etc. (everybody who knows about this) to space and put bugs on the communication program. I'll have to take them down so though, otherwise when they do discover it, KSP's rep will go down, if they find out another 500 kerbals have been sent up their against their will, most likely we will be shut down.

Sorry Didn't know it had been addressed before.

Wooo! can't wait to get on my computer

yes ANOTHER! Thanks! Does that mean that Unity will make another version of the engine that will include a stable build of 64-bit? And if so are the devs waiting for it, or even thinking about turning the game into 64-bit

I've been wondering for a bit now: Will Squad use the new Unity 5? A game like this doesn't belong in 32-bit area (meaning it can only use 2GB) and 2GB? With a game like this, I would be pleased if they upgraded to 64-bit, because at the moment KSP lags quite a lot (I know there are some people who have found ways to counteract this, or have super computers) for me. Thanks in advance!

Well First i look at its goals, how far its going, then part count, and Kerbal count (or none at all) So lets say its going to Jool With 300 parts and 7 kerbals. so Jool is one of the farthest planets but not the farthest making it Ba (where A is farthest and B is not so far, more letters are included if going to moons or multiple destinations) part count is relatively large so its Bal ( where L is lots and A is not so many) and 7 kerbals is relatively simple so 7th letter is G its Balg and its meant to explore Jool so Balg Explorer, only read on if you want to know names for going to Jools Moons Pol: Distance Ba (As its in Jools SOI) Bae ( as its the furthest moon of Jool and the 5th e = 5th letter) Bae part count 350 so Baen and 3 Kerbals Is Baenc but Baenc doesn't sound right so i move it one letter further and its Baend ( if it doesn't sound right i do that to all my ships) Bop: Distance Ba (Jool SOI) Bad 4th Moon of Jool Part count 350 Badn 1 Kerbal, Badna Station Tylo: Distance Ba (Jools SOI) Bac 3rd Moon of Jool Part count 400 Bco Kerbals 1, Bacoa Explorer Vall: Ba ( Jool SOI) Bab Part count 20 Babh Kerbals None = Babh 1 ( 1 is unmanned probe 3 is unmanned station 5 is unmanned lander 7 is unmanned Spaceplane, etc. Laythe Ba (Jool SOI) Baa part count 500 Baast ( after it goes further than o with part count i choose any 2 letters i like) Kerbals 12 (3 Hitchhikers) Baastl Base ( if its a giant mission i usually name it after Roman and Greek Gods and Heroes

Nah, I use MJ for Delta V, thanks i'll have to change that in the rules. And i'll check out the links. EDIT: By the way when you do complete the challenge you don't mind me adding you to scoreboards do you i'll look through all the things you've done and add points depending on the difficulty of doing it, and you have to do a lot more things, and you don't mind me stealing a few of those rules do you? (Like the landing the probe and some others)

Now that you put it that way, yeah There wouldn't be any land to land on in Kerbin, and the mun would most likely be worn down to a regular rock

Hey just a thought, If you were to crash a asteroid into the nuns surface, would it create a new crater? EDIT : oops, Mun not nuns.

This is my first challenge so at first i was going to keep it simples, but there are no simple ones i can think of, so Behold. Probe And Back! 1. Build a ship! (duh?) 2. you must follow every...blah blah, lets get on with it! So you must build a ship which is capable of flying to as many planets as you can get it to go to, ...no thats not it theres more, you must drop of a probe off at the planet and if it has a moon you will be awarded for extra points the more probes you drop off at each planet the more points you get, after you've gone as far as you think your ship can go, you must revisit every planet you were at collect its probes go back to Kerbin though if you don't have enough fuel to land there you may land on one of its moons. Once you land, that is wherever you land. All probes must stay in tact. RULES : Mods are allowed though none that gives you infinite fuel, teleportation, etc. Mechjeb is allowed for giving data (Delta V Orbit info etc.) At least 2 Kerbals Must come along. You Must have a screenshot of the ship while building, takeoff, interplanetary transfer. basically every time you are about to do something ( i know that means lot of snapshots but i need to make sure no cheating is going on) If a probe is not collected once you land back with in KSOI a penalty of points will apply. you will be rewarded with extra points for putting probes in orbit around the planets moon. but one has to be stationed at the moons parent for those points to count. A maximum of two probes may be put on one planet as long as they are in different orbits by at least a few tens of degrees ( a maximum of one probe around a moon) No cheats! All mods must be announced. and feel free to do a video if you feel. SCORING SYSTEM : ( before i get started if there is anything i forgot to mention in the scoring system please tell me) Probe around a planet = 10p Probe around a moon = 5p 2nd Probe around a planet = 7p Return to minmus = -5p Return to Mun = -3p failure to get to KSOI = Disqualification (bonus) Get to all planets and return = 15p (bonus) Get to all planets and moons + return = 25p I myself will not be competing in the challenge, I am not Hardwired for this kind of challenge. Leaderboard : 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Hey give your Kerbals some room to stretch. Why i don't use the command pod Mk1 : Im pretty sure 2-5 Kerbals sneak on every trip, I don't want the Kerbal Interplanetary Society cutting are budget and making us fund their families for the rest of their lives and funding the burial.

People Gonna need really high thrust engines...or a lot of engines either way if people want to move something the size of that think about it. Rock that size probably, hundreds of tons much likely more? if people think about landing that on a planet...Pffft, even if it has low G. Thinking about landing it on a planet with strong gravity and an atom, i could barely imagine. You pretty much summed up what was going on up in my head

Good thing this isn't in game whilst I'm looking at these crafts because my computer would already have with sparks flying off it by now with a ship with more than hmm.. 80 maybe 100 parts. I do not want to imagine the result with that many parts

Wow. Thats pretty impressive their LevelLord. I like the amount of lights you have on it, doesn't make it look like your local lights galore shop but has enough so it makes it look like on of your army bases you see in the movies. liking all the stuff thats coming up here

Yeah got to agree with Xacktar docking from there must be pretty hard if your in a time pressure ( unless your in a 300 metre orbit around the Mun and you path doesn't run into any hills or mountains

Now Before I Get Started I Know People Are Probably Going To Say There Is Already A Post For This, unfortunately if so i did not see it or i was to lazy to, personally i hope i didn't see it. But anyway on with the thread, My greatest achievement was multiple things first learning how to build a working ship, then learning how to fly it (T SAS and all) and learning to get into orbit with out mechjeb, rendezvousing whith your other ships docking, but mainly when i was about 500 metres from landing on the Mun and i couldn't take the excitement and accidentally tapped space (whoops engine drop, speed 10..20..40..50) But Most of all KSP, the game itself now some might think what? you can't achieve KSP and i totally agree with you but i mean getting the game and hearing the theme song and putting a mainsail on top of a 144 litre (or is it gallon) fuel tank with a pod but your Kerbal is on the external command seat. So my greatest achievement is learning KSP. now this may sound confusing to you because it confuses me. Whats Yours? First Interplanetary trip? visiting the entire Jool System With one ship? remember what i said about mainsails and a tiny ship for it to push? I've got one of those at full power. I've got some Kerbals to kill...WHAT i mean Erm...make them look directly down..i mean save some glorious Kerbals!

Mission Director: Erm... Boss why would you want to speak to the crew? Boss: I want to know what Laythe looks like thats why! Mission Director : ( when they get back they will have Laythe as a map in their heads) If They Get Back Boss. I Mean Ermm... After they wake up.

Short And Simple : Decouplers when fired will stay attached to the part of the craft that is being detached. Stack Separators Detach From Everything and don't stay connected to the rest of your craft. I prefer normal decouplers, Mainly because it leaves less Debris In LKO for me to de-orbit ( I know i can use the tracking station but i feel like that is cheating)

Landed On The Mun With Bill and i had A Solar Panel In My Storage Box (KAS) to put on one of my rovers as its solar panel broke off unfortunately I did not realise that the rover was right on the edge of the large crater near the Neil armstrong Memorial. So after i put it on i decided to treat Bill To a quick exploration of the mun and maybe gather a rock or two accelerate and whoops! i soon realise I'm rolling down a hill with a seat attached to bill but no rover (at first i thought jeb thought he was going and sneakily attached some boosters to the seat but i realised my rover had done a backflip and scraped the lights and the rover seat off then he rolled down the crater about 2km with a seat superglued to him as if that wasn't enough then to get uphe kept falling down when he got near the top as it got to steep so in total he probably fell a distance of 7km at the same crater for some reason he was smiling all the way was he turning into jeb?
