I have created the Flying Narwhal Mk2. This one has 56 bombs and a actual narwhal horn! Still testing and sutch.

Cough* Cough* Laythe Cough* Cough* Wouldn't it be more reasonable to build a Laythe colony? You know, with the air and all... Or is this supposed to be like in the real solar system where there is no Laythe? (Sorry Titan)

Thanks

I built a 50 m tall ramp. But Then I messed up, and when I reloaded, it said i had died by crashing into Minmus at 0.3 m/s

I landed a ship in Laythe's Oceans. After collecting and transmitting the data, I left the ship to the space center. I come back, (I forget why) and the water kraken grabs my ship as it loads and yanks it 25 m underwater. The crew survived but the rest of the ship did not.

I suppose, but it must be refueled with another SSTO, also launched from Laythe, in low Laythe orbit. If enough people do this challenge for me to make a leader-board, it will be mentioned on your submission.

OK, the colonies on Laythe split off when the United Kerbal Government decided to ignore them. The decision was based on the fact that President Kerbalington Kerman was confused by the silent "E" at the end of Laythe, and proclaimed that the only rational thing to do would be to annihilate the moon. When reminded of the colonies there, the president decided that it would be easier to just pretend that Laythe was destroyed instead. The Laythe colonies soon began to rise into their own nation. This was easy, what with the pretending-they-didn't-exist-anymore and all. The first thing the United Islands of Laythe did was to build their own space program. The Challenge You must build an SSTO, that will start on Laythe then visit every other moon in the Jool system and return to Laythe safely. After reaching each moon, you may either: 1. Land the SSTO on the moon, then leave for the next one. 2. Launch a manned probe to the surface. The probe may or may not re-dock with the mother-ship but it must return to Laythe with kerbal intact. A combination of either is acceptable. The Rules 1. No Excessive part-clipping. 2. No cheating (You know what I mean...) 3. The SSTO may be moved to Laythe by any means. (All mods acceptable) 4. If you use any mods in the actual challenge, say what they are! 5. If you think it should be ageist the rules, don't do it! (Rules are subject to change) Scoring Ranks 0. At Least I Tried...: Land on 3 of the moons and return or 4 but do not return. 1. I Did It!: Just complete the challenge 2. For Science!: Use Thermometer, Mystery Goo, Gravioly Detector, and Science Jr. on the surfaces of all Moons. No transmiting unless you brought a mobile processing lab. (Not recomended) 3. For Science! Mk2: Same as "For Science!", but a probe must also be sent on a one-way trip into Jool, with the Thermometer, Mystery Goo, Gravioly Detector, Science Jr., Barometer, Computing Nose Cone, and a way to transmit all the raw data. (You can do this with or without a sacrifice to the Kraken) 4. Economist: Do the all of the above, but recover every part sent out to space. (Except for the Jool Probe) 5. Jebediah's Level: All of the above AND send a rover to Kerbin. As the only other habitable planet in the Kerbol system, the United Islands of Laythe may want to colonize there one day... Rover may or may not be manned, does not need to return, and stages may be lost on voyage. Submission 1. You can either submit a video of the entire challenge. (Sped up, if you want to) 2. Take screenshots of ship; pre-takeoff with part count, flying, in orbit, over each moon, landed on each moon, leaving each moon, re-entering Laythe's atmosphere, and kerbals safely landed. Good Luck!

Thought that score was a little unbalanced.

Here is my submission. It definitely won't work in the 1.0 update. (New Drag) Very original design. POINTS: Orbit Kerbin =20 Flyby Mun = 13.333... Orbit Jool =400 6 Struts = -30 TOTAL = 403

Ummm... I am orbiting Jool, so if I come back, that is 5000/3 = 1666 points?

Here it is, The Flying Narwhal Points More BOOM: 12 x 22 extra bombs =264 Swift Payback: 0.01 x 110 = 11 Engine Maintenance: 6 x -4= -24 - 2 = -26 Parts Maintenance: about 400 x -0.02 = -8 Service Ceiling: 15 points (It topped out at about 12.05 km) Field Refueling: 10 points ​Total: 266 Points

Here is my contestant. [imgur-album]tV9Ay[/imgur-album] P.S. How do you post an imgur album?

How high up can the SSTO be deployed from? Or do you need to demonstrate they can reach orbit separately. Also, another bonus objective could be "Maneuverability: Can turn fast enough that 10 G's of force fan be felt by crew"

Do you ever want a control system, but RCS is just to darn inefficient? I noticed that Ionic drives have similar thrusts to RCS ports (only off by 1 thrust unit!) and it is much more practical, but there is no way to use an ion drive for control. (Other than using action groups, but ain't nobody got time for that.) So I was wondering if someone would want to add this Idea to their existing Mod?

I did not hear it. I inferred it when KSP saw them as competition .

I think that the KSP executives have been taking them out. All of them. First Kragrathea. (Although he was later let off with a warning) Then OvenProofMars, and now Medsouz. All of them were working on things that Squad were also interested in. As soon as each of them had became to big of a threat, the had been terminated. However,this is good news because we may get a stock galaxy soon!

Sooner or later, we shall end up with a 20m monstrosity that will will inspire the question: "WHY NOT BIGGER?"

Most or all of the rocket engines would stay, as well as the adapters containing fuel, radial fuel tanks, radial SAS halves, andadapter inter-stages.

I have a suggestion. Perhaps a lite version of this mod could be given a download link. This version would not include any of the parts that are supplied by an unmodified game. (Ex. parts that just have different textures, inter-stages, ect) This could reduce memory usage and clutter for those who choose to use it.

What is wrong? Is there a star surrounding kerbin if you zoom out?

You should make a second download that does not automatically put planets places so people who wan't them in a different order can easier.

PEOPLE OF THE THREAD OVENPROOFMARS IS ALIVE!!!! I googled his name and found out that he posted something on Reddit 9 days ago. BUT HE IS ALIVE! (As of 9 days ago)

As there is no official planets for the mod, you can pick and choose which planet packs you want so that livable planets are rare. Or you can get packs and remove life sustaining moons moons manually. Also remember, not all planets with atmospheres are livable. Even if they have a liquid.(Eve, Duna, Polo from Kaiser)

Is the thread dead or is everyone satisfied with the mod?
