I got the station/base building fever (well, and contracts) at the moment... Was testing my new Dunabase and got a nice eclipse ...... .....finally put a new station in Minmus orbit as my old one disappeared for some reason..:D ..... ....landed my new mining base on Ike´s poles... and finally, built a new station (or half of it as I´m planning to basically double the whole thing) for Jool orbit. It was a good day..:D

jep, same problem here. And all the Nom-o-matics are gone..

Finally completed my Eve Base incl. fuel truck to fill up the ascent vehicle. Its is parked 4 km away for the return to orbit in order to hopefully dock with the mothership...if everything works..haha..:D

thank you! Why air-intakes?

Thanks for the tip! How much dV are we talking about? Do you have maybe an example-craft? Its the first time that I try an Eve return so any tip for the next mission is very welcome.

yeah you´re right...I could do that, but somehow it feels a bit like cheating. Got enough cheating going on with the revert-options..haha

Heyho! Busy times...sorry it took so long. So here is the (most likely the ugliest thing I ever made..haha) beast: Now it sits there waiting for the base (still working on how to get it to Eve :D) for supporting my kerbals until the next window back to Kerbin opens..

As far as I know there is no way of retracting it...

Hast du schon die "tausend" Tutorials auf youtube versucht? Pass nur auf das die nicht zu alt sind, da sich das Aerodynamics model teilweise radikal verändert hat. Also ab Version 1.x.x sollte passen.. Was sind denn deine genauen Probleme beim launch?

WOW! Couldnt check the forums for a while! You guys are awesome! Thanks for the infos! I came up with a different design in the end which is already in Eve orbit...gonna upload some pictures once its landed. @foamyesqueI thought about that as well but as I´m playing in career mode and also have life support installed, for a manned mission, I need to plan pretty excact so my kerbals survive. If to screw around with wings I would need to do a lot of testing which is not really possible. With the vertical-launch I at least more or less know that the rocket is gonna make it because I have the delta-v readouts..

Why have the intakes this option then? Is there another use?

Granted, but Philae got taken over by the aliens and is now manipulating satellites so every TV station on Earth is just showing "Painting with Bob Ross" 24/7. I wish Donald Trump is transforming into a cat...

cheers for the answer! KER is set to Eve...atmospheric TWR is around 1,20 at sea level. Gonna try to add a bit more delta v...gonna be tricky..:)

Hi everyone! I´m planing a eve mission at the moment and trying to design a ascent vehicle that brings my kerbals back into orbit. There they gonna dock with the mothership and fly back to kerbin. So thats the plan..problem is, this is the first time I try this and I´m really unsure about how much delta v I need. So I just wanted to here your opinions...you think this is gonna make it? Cheers!
