  1. Ok. I'll put it as '21:00/DNF'. As a warning that others will have to make something extremely fast and extremely maneuverable to have a hope at getting first place.
  2. One question before I update the leaderboard, and I'll only do that if you say 'yes'. Is a plane still a plane if it smashes to pieces on landing? If that was my plane, I'd have gone back to the VAB to work out how to get it to land properly. But that's my judgement, I'm letting you call this one.
  3. You're right, Rampiro. That counts as a Did Not Finish. Also, rocket engines are allowed, but only because if they are running the entire flight, you're not going to get very far. Quite how TalonOps managed to drop his rocket without a decoupler, I don't know.
  4. Get it to roughly the north pole. I'm not looking for accuracy, just get it as close to the centre of the icecap as possible. Also, that is a mad aircraft, Talon. Welcome to first place.
  5. Sure. Though I'd have used non-angled placement [Circle not hexagon] and I'd have put them further inboard on the wings. It would look cool and have aerodynamic aesthetic.
  6. Nice. Will update title image tomorrow, but you're first on the leaderboard for now. Outof interest, why did you put wingtip vortex displacement fins on the ends of your wings? They look a bit oversized for the wingtip itself.
  7. Two Veto Aerospace Cougar long-range transport aircraft were lost when Cougar 2's landing gear brakes failed as it attempted to park itself in the research site, which was studying the difference between Kerbin ice and Minmus ice. The research aircraft, called Polar Venturer was undamaged in the incident, and Cougar 2's cockpit was thrown clear. However, the entire forward section of Cougar 1 was destroyed, with heavy damage to the rest of the aircraft. Explosions have continued to occur from the wreck for at least five minutes.

  8. My vehicle was a four-engined compound-delta with duel T-tails with no drop tanks, called the Cougar. Imgur flight album: http://imgur.com/a/6GFcy Total time: 40 minutes. Parts type: Stock.
  9. Yeah, what's with the ten minutes? Ok, due to flightpath errors on my part, the Cougar spent the first half of the journey at 6000 metres, bringing speed down to 250 m/s. However, in the other half I found that at high altitude it is capable of 450 m/s. With that, I estimate a 40 minute flight time.I'll be trying again soon. Reached the halfway mountains in 18 minutes. Projected 37 minutes ETA. http://i.imgur.com/47UpQ.png
  10. My new craft can reach the halfway point in 20 minutes.
  11. Isn't there a design that can make a Munar return because it's so damn tiny?
  12. This has probably been done before, but oh well. I watched Kutjmac's video of his trip to the pole. I made my own mission, and decided to try reaching the pole faster than him. I did so, by two (2) minutes. I was going to post the mission log in General Discussion, but I decided this would be more interesting. Stock and mod entries are effectively different competitions. Only stock records get put on the title image. Entries with mod parts used for aesthetics only may be entered as stock. Entries with MechJeb may enter as stock. Aircraft only - no sub-orbital trajectories. My vehicle was a two-engined cranked-delta with a H-tail and quad drop-tanks called the Polar Venturer. Imgur flight album: http://imgur.com/a/yPZzQ Total time: 58 minutes.

  13. I thought 'Hey, I haven't seen any crew tank spacestations yet, I'mma put some up there.' How many did I put on it? Three. You are awesome for designing this station. Spectacular piece of work.
  14. Alt Text: \'Mooks, this is your final warning\' The rebel gunship Bad Moon assists some of the main characters against the Imperium\'s invasion force [Earth Military, or EM] at Avalon colony.
  15. In my attempt to make a similar vehicle on the Mun, I found that I couldn\'t switch vehicles whilst the Kerbal was holding onto a ladder. Maybe being in-atmosphere causes the Kerbal to be deleted, whilst allowing you to change vehicle.
  16. I drew myself as a tiger Keidran. I plan to do a few mini strips with this idea when I have use of my scanner again in two weeks time.
  17. Spoilers please. Ascensiam said so.
  18. The large circle is the planet\'s star. The small circle is the planet\'s moon. It\'ll be blood-red. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BadMoonRising ======================================================================= UPDATE:
  19. [WIP] - Bad Moon Rising. The gunship Bad Moon enacts a gunship rescue, enemy currently undecided, but this will be in my webcomic at some point.
  20. I was listening to the radio and an advert came on. 'I was on facebook having a LOL out loud when...' was the first line. It did not get better, and the advert didn\'t appear to be aimed at anyone.
  21. Oh. What I thought was an ASAS was actually the bottom of the parachute.
  22. Silfur, 1m parachutes rip off the ASAS. Sadly, your capsule is probably going to be destroyed.
