Hi All Here is my Eve Rocks Challenge (Eve sample + Eve sea sample) "without Kethane" no refueling one shot last try The Craft file of "Eve Jeb Landing AR 9" 379526$ ( - 279124$ reuseable SSTO Lifter - final kerbin lander = less than 100000$ final cost ) less than 99 Tons at launch from Kerbin, and less than 20 Tons ready to Launch at 7500m on Eve. 553 parts full stock + MechJeb2. KSP 0.25. I found this 7500m landing site some month ago with SCANsat.v6.1 mod and some hours of testing.... xD You have to reach Eve with about 24° inclined orbit and wait to be above to reach the landing site without burning to much fuel. Also wait to be in the plane of the orbiter waiting for you before to leave Eve... I had to reload several times to undock the glider without breaking it... AND MechJeb2 Helped me a lot Also Thank You very much for the other players posts who helped me a lot, and mostly Tavert in "Lightest Eve Lander" The Odyssey Album: 3 Hours of rover to return 7500m was the hardest part... xD Hope you will love it ^^

Hi All Maybe the lightest KSP 0.25 stock "lifter" at this time ? (if ok for the challenge of course ^^) Name of Rocket: Ultralight I-Glider-Orbiter Username: astrobond Company Name (opt ional): Maximum Speed: Weight: 390Kg Delta V: Maximum Cargo Weight: Cost: 8407 Screenshots: .craft file download (optional): "Ultralight I-Glider-Orbiter 390Kg" Fly safe with Jeb !

Just... Awesome !!!

Yes you can refuel stock craft with converted Kethane in Fuel and Oxidizer. That could be a good idea to bring an empty "light" ship near Gilly and refuel before landing on Eve... But i think that the "stock" challenge is hard also because of the fuel quantity you need to bring on Eve. So this challenge must stay as is BTW Kethane Gameplay is very different than Stock Gameplay, maybe a separate Kethane Eve Rocks Challenge ? (sorry for the bad English, i hope you understand what i mean, i'm from France... xD )

Ooops sorry, I thought that as you said it was possible to refuel on Gilly, why not directly on Eve ? and I had these ship ready to use But now I realize that the challenge need a stock ship ! I'll try to do that... not so easy than with Kethane.... lol

Hi All Craft File: "Kethane Mini Eve Lander" KSP 0.25, 159227 KerboDollars, 208 parts, 17.407 Tons at launch from Kerbin, and 67 parts, 5.366 Tons Ready to takeoff from Eve Sea Level... Mods Used: Kethane, MechJeb2. and the YouTube Video of the Lander test version: I love Kethane xD

Hi All Here is my 0.25 "New KLK SSTO 15T" craft file, and the YouTube Video Hope you will love it ! (Tip: If you have problem reaching Kerbin Orbit, engage Ascent Autopilot at 26000m and not at 18000m sorry...) .

Hi All Not in the challenge, because of using Kethane, but for the fun, I made a 5.366 Tons Lander to ascent Eve Orbit from 19m to 120km ! Here is the link to the YouTube Video : And the link to the "Kethane Mini Eve Lander.craft" Fly safe
