Yes, I know. However, since hydrodynamics are improved and hydrofoils are a thing, I think it will be quite necessary for another "procedural" mod to benefit the game.

Also, parental controls are activated on my computer 5 days per week, so I have very limited time to work on anything.

I know that this doesn't have much to do with the actual topic, but "Should I try and make a hydroplane mod" is the first question a viewer sees when going on this post. ...Procedural hydroplanes? Am I being annoying? I think I should calm down a little...

I was preoccupied with some of my crap. Sorry. Also, I saw other people manage to do this. I am certainly trying the challenge out.

Not to be annoying, but there was only one actual reply! Killakrust currently has first place, with no other competitors yet. Of course, I would want to fill up that scoreboard before this thread falls into the forgotten demise of the spacecraft exchange. Why did this thread go so quickly? What am I missing? Thank you.

(From the far future, in 1.0.5) Just went into this end of the spacecraft exchange, nostalgic as crap.

It is intended for coastal operations ranging from armed patrol to amphibious transport. The Katarina's unique planing hull design reduces hydrodynamic drag during its takeoff run. Water landing speeds are in the range of 35-50m/s - watch the sink rate! Activate flaps (Action Group 2) for takeoff. Optional (stock) air to ground missiles fitted to increase possibility of sales to private Kerbal military companies and nation-states.

But can you actually make a detailed PBY Catalina? Take that as a friendly challenge. ;) [IMG]http://cdn.silodrome.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/Consolidated-PBY-Catalina-Plane.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nf6_wUkUvPA/UsR_oQzOHeI/AAAAAAAACHo/_zcOc99_ZqY/s640/PBY-Catalina-wallpaper.jpg[/IMG]

You just HAVE TO give this lady a Rock 'n' Roll Train decal. All hail Angus Young.

Sorry about the fact that I do not have an entry. I will start trying to do the challenge. The problem is that I got distracted and installed RSS, and am currently too lazy to uninstall it (see comment #4 for the reason why). I can, however, try to show you an example of what it should look like (with infinite fuel, as the challenge will probably be too hard to do in RSS). That is, of course, after I learn how to post game screenshots on the forum. Also, the screenshot you took in comment #11 was exactly what the completed challenge should look like (Orbital speed=0). Just try keeping that speed for a much longer time to actually complete it. Anything more than 0m/s (that includes 0.1m\s) is not allowed.

I haven't thought about that. Let's make it from 70000m to 100000m. I'm adding an update.

5th Horseman is correct. From Kerbin's reference frame, your ships should be literally standing still in Kerbins SOI. Yes,smjjames, your attempt is disqualified. Sorry.

You were in surface mode, meaning that you still had a horizontal velocity. Sorry about that.

Obama approves.

Sure, I think that does. [Edit] Nevermind, that does not count. You have to be truly hovering, not slowly falling.

I'm sorry to say, but I do not have my own attempt because I am a monstrous imperialist who sucks the soul out of poor, good hearted people. You can burn me now.

The goal of this challenge is to take any vehicle, fly it to space and to hover there with an orbital velocity of 0. The altitude limits are from 70000m to 100000m. There is nothing more to say about this, so have fun.

Very nice-looking fighter! If you want some advice, I recommend removing the wing edges on the side , it will look cooler and remove some part-count from your plane.

Ok, that's it. You are officially blessed and sacred. Jeb will approve.

Yep, you did it! +rep (that's the only thing I know how to do)

That's actually quite good. Nice

Sure, jman, use anything that can break the fall.

This might be a little too much, but can someone please make a mod that adds realistically sized stars such as UY Scuti, VY Canis Majoris, or Eta Carinae? The reasons are: 1. UY Scuti and VY Canis Majoris are both thousands of times bigger than the Sun, and that just astounds me. 2. Eta Carinae is a GIGANTIC binary star system with a luminosity of over 5,000,000 times that of the sun. It is also in a nebula and is surrounded by gas and dust that constantly fluctuates in interesting ways. Holy crap. 3. I am completely obsessed with deep space exploration. And, by "deep", I mean "thousands of light years." If those stars are too far, at least add Proxima Centauri, which is just 8 light years away and is the closest star to our Sun.

This is, by far, the best and most well planned space station I have ever seen on the forums.

Are you thinking of adding some extreme stuff, such as 90377 Sedna, 2000 CR105, or anything else? Also, can you please add Pluto's other asteroid moons?

Holy crap that is awesome!
