I hope this is not dead?

I hope you consider another planet like Polo. That's my new favorite planet!

I just finished putting a rover onto Lynx. The weird thing was my parachutes would not deploy. It was as if there was no atmosphere? It's a proven ship, I just did a landing on Polo with it and the chutes worked fine. I even did an F9 back to orbiting and did a second landing with the same result. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2807-33-42-57.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2808-21-02-29.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2808-29-32-04.jpg

Landed onto Kunar (original version). This was more difficult then I thought it would be do to the high planet rotation and fairly high gravity with my two small engines. I made it, but just barely! I really like the moving cloud bands on Kaiser, they look very cool! http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2708-56-50-54.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2709-09-14-86.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2709-14-59-36.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2709-12-46-09.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2709-22-56-37.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2709-04-48-91.jpg These new boosters are so good I was able to take enough fuel in my second stage to use it as a tanker. Added a docking port to it and another to the lander and left in orbit so I can top off for the trip home.

Ok, no oceans then, that's good to know! Trying to decide what planet of yours to land on tomorrow. My other lander rover without all those parachutes is being fueled right now. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2608-40-48-36.jpg The cloud cover on Polo looks very good, great job! Hope you add more like it.. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2610-04-31-77.jpg

Thanks! The cloud cover fooled me a bit. I kept moving my landing spot thinking I was going to come down into some kind of fluid, but when things cleared and there was nothing there. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2609-44-45-16.jpg Are there oceans on Polo? I guess I could remove the clouds a take a look...

Sun going down on Polo. Great planet! Got lots of great pictures, here are a few. Looking forward to driving that rover. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2610-08-33-60.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2610-14-39-63.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2610-15-32-79.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-2610-22-32-81.jpg

Yeah, they look good, will send out a ship tomorrow or later today..

Try going into game setting and set textures to Half Resolution. That pretty much fixes everything.

I sent you a PM.

Natasha is in the Boris system; http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/70018-The-Boris-System-Planet-Factory-CE-MOD I moved Natasha into the Sentar system very close to the Skelton orbit. I will put your base on both planets. Natasha with no atmosphere and Skelton with an atmosphere. Both planets have a great view of Sentar! Should make it more interesting. I also converted the second stage of my rover lander into a tanker. I will take a picture later. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-1318-33-24-09.jpg

I had the 7-1 high resolution installed. I will give the 7-2 Low Res a try a bit later and see if it works. Yes, it does open with the 7-2 Low Res cloud pack installed.

They look great, but I had to remove the cloud add-on to get it to load without crashing.

I'm trying to come up with a better planet then Minmus to put your Base along with a bunch of other ships. I would like the view of a gas giant. Natasha is a pretty cool planet but I would have to relocate it. That's easy enough to do. It's just a matter of where to put it...

The downloads link for Version 0.3 is not working!

I just tried my rover lander this morning. They don't launch with this new upgrade! I tried a few. Sorry about that! I never tried them after the upgrade... I think it is just a matter of replacing the boosters. I'm going to try that. Yeah, I just tried some new boosters and it launched fine, no shaking. I'm going to have to rework these...

I forgot to tell you that I also put an RCS system in the docking port rover. Enough thrusters to get it back up to the docking port on the lander.

I just sent you a PM

OK, don't know anything about the Goo and Science. I'm still just building and exploring in the sandbox. :>) I thought the boosters were fine except for the roll. Tomorrow I will see if I can't put my ship and rover close to the base. This a bigger rover on a one-way to Laythe http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-02-1814-55-24-61.jpg

Thanks for the info. (right click on the rover seats) that's what I was missing. To select between the base, rovers and Kerbals you use the [ and ] keys. No need to go back to the Space center. One thing you may consider for your next version is putting canards on your big boosters. I was unable to get the ship to roll. The base is permanent, so why redock the rovers?

I put the base down on Minmus this morning. Very nice! The 4 center legs are set down lower than the rest of the legs so I raised them after the landing. How do I get the Kerbals to sit and control the rovers? Never used open rovers before... http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-04-1008-19-56-86.jpg

If I could figure a way to give you the craft file I would...

Thanks! Check out this Munshuttle MkIV, I downloaded it a while ago. I changed the boosters to a Munshine VI. It would be cool to use bringing Kerbals to and from your bases. Put a tanker in orbit around the Mun and you got it made. http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/32224-Hiring-Requests-Fusion-Aerospace-New-C-21-Kerbal-Recovery-Vehicle?highlight=Munshuttle http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/63050-0-23-MUNSHINE-LIFTERS-5-165-tons-to-orbit-including-low-tech-Career-Mode-versions This is one of my lander and rover combos. I will definitely put this one down by your base, and put a tanker in orbit. Yes, this will be a good time! http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-03-3015-10-46-54-1.jpg This is Skelton, one of my favorite planets. It is about the same as Duna but with better views. I may put you base down there. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-03-2608-42-33-07.jpg

Yeah, I'm sure I will enjoy the base. I've created a few small versions like this one on Eve. It has a docking port on the end you can't see. Eight parachutes did it. I have another with side thrusters added for less or no atmosphere. I will have to look and see where your docking port is located, but you could create something like what I have with wheels instead of landing legs. Or both. If you get both docking ports to the right height you could just drive it to the docking port and dock them together. Or drive it into position lower the landing legs then dock them together. (If you have the height right) This picture does not show the four ladders extended. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-03-2507-48-53-52.jpg http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/KSP2014-03-2813-50-00-48.jpg These side thrusters detach and fall away. The ones I created were based on this older smaller version I found somewhere. http://i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad343/Larry_M/JAS2S2Q.jpg

No, the links do not work....Invalid
