I get 60+fps with max graphics, on a 960

Lots of these shuttles that are being built aren't true nasa style. They are close, but not like the ones nasa makes

Yes. Thats fine

What bothers me is the how baron the system is. There are a few small asteroids hanging out around Kerbin, but otherwise, its desolate

Okay, maybe the name is a little misleading, but this thread is to discuss what is seriously unrealistic or realistic about the Kerbol system. There are plenty of things, so have fun picking apart everything wrong with Kerbol and its planets. Thanks! Vote in the poll!

what I meant by "that's what I meant" was that I just thought it was 20 tons, but then realized that it was 2

Flash, i'm sorry, but the screenshots required are required... If you could rebuild those ships or get the builders to send pics then I would be happy to, but there isn't any proof. People would start to get whiny about that.

dude, an SSTO doesnt have to be a spaceplane. I made a lightest SSTO thread, and people make them with the bare minimum... you dont need much

This aspect of EVA does not need fixing. if you're walking around as an astronaut, you don't just get to have hours go by in seconds. Wait to do things like that until you have unlocked rovers.... - - - Updated - - - Heard That...

Bah! Humbug!

How about a "read the forums" poll option?

There are a lot of things you can do with stock. Need fairings? Make me with stock! Need a more powerful, efficient engine? Well then, get creative with radial engines! This is a thread to share your most amazing stock subassemballies and vessels that are entirely stock. So, what have you done?

Cool, agifem! I'm glad you like it.

Oh, sorry. Missed that. Thanks. I'll rank yah!

I can't see launch weight... Is it the 0.34?

just checked the wiki. You're right. Sorry cheng! You will be ranked at 0.8tons - - - Updated - - - Cant see the mass. Please edit the post to show it

cheng, your orbit is not stable... I can't rank you with that

I made a mistake on a poll, and want to delete it or atleast edit it

Oops... That's what I meant...

Who can make the lightest stock SSTO? That's what this challenge is for. The rules are very very simple. Make the lightest SSTO purely with stock parts, no using debug menu, and orbit must be stable (Pe > 70km) This isn't a spaceplanes competition! This is an SSTO competition! 3 required screenshots: Ship with weight in tons visible Map view, in orbit In orbit, not map view Kudos if you get below 2 tons. That is the tough number to get below. Thanks, and let's see those SSTOs! RANKINGS: Foxster: 0.674 tons chengong: 0.8 tons gm573: 0.803 tons Cat Biscuits: 0.826 tons SRV Ron: 1.33 tons cantab: 1.395 tons Red Iron Crown: 1.992 tons Captain Vlad: 5.2 Captain Sierra: 6.72 tons

okay. I can't at the moment, due to conflicting plans, but on Monday I will share

Sorry guys. I revised. Capsule must me 3000m+ in altitude on the mountain.

What Really Happens when you tap the "recover vessel" button? Hundreds of Kerbals go to work designing and calculating to actually recover the brave Kerbonauts that have returned from their great journey. In this challenge, you will design a ship of any kind that will actually recover the vessel. Here come the hard part. You will be recovering a vessel from the peaks of the mountain range nearest to the KSC. When you take off a plane, right behind you is a range of mountains. This is the range in which the challenge will be conducted from. The rankings of this challenge are simply based on cost of aircraft. Rules: - NO MODS!! The stock parts are enough - Recover a bare 3 man capsule from a part of the mountain! Cheats can be used to get it there - Don't use the debug menu! - There will be separate rankings for those who don't use the Advanced Grabbing Unit - There will be extra special rankings for those who use rockets. That---is skill - Must safely return all kerbals and capsule. This is the space programs money and reputation on the line! The capsule must be placed in on this mountain 3000+ meters. The placement is irrelevant to the biome! Required Screenshots: Ship in hangar. Must clearly show the cost of the ship Ship on runway, ready for launch Ship in mid flight, approaching the capsule Ship 1km from the capsule Ship landed and connected to capsule Ship flying back Ship landed safely back at the KSC with capsule Your entry will not be ranked if it lacks even 1 of these screenshots. Thank you for participating and I look forward to seeing all of your entries! -CalMacDa Rankings: percyPrune: 32887.3 Foxster: 46586

Wrong place to put this thread

Ceres though is essentially just a big asteroid, and too many asteroids could cause issues, but I am all for an asteroid belt.
