    Small rocket, Long way (This isn't a small mass and part limit challenge!)

    in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas

    Actually I don't think I have. Apparently the Rapier engines used are a C7/Rockomax product (I thought they were C7 only). My apologies, I thought the plane was compliant with your rules.

    I'll see if I can put together a compliant entry soon (and a pure rocket, since those seem to be what you prefer :)).

    Ahhh, Bugger it. After all this, whatever, you've completed it. I've already put your name up there, and i'm to lazy to take it off. plus, I guess you did kinda outwit me and complete the challenge without me knowing, because, I did not know that jool cannot be landed on. Well, whatever, It's just the engines, Whatever, You won.

    Well, actually. i have something even better for you. If you use your same exact build on easy mode, duna, you'll win easy.

    So, if you want me to keep your name on medium, ask me. but, if you wanna try easy, i'll take your name of medium and you can try easy

    You can complete mutipile ones, but if you wanna try again then i'll want to take off the kind of cheaty one.

    Because, in easy mode, you only have not use rockomaxes, and Kerybodynes fuel tanks, right?

    @FlipNascar, There's also the time saver of something, were you don't have to post everything, Because people can think for themselves and easily determine, am i cheating?

    ​HINT: Your cheating.

    What does one have to do to qualify for visiting Jool? I figured landing on one of its moons would be sufficient, but perhaps you had something else in mind.

    The reason this does not count is simple. You didn't go to any of the planets I put in the challenge.

    People can extend the challenge, like Scott Manley took it down to 5 parts in orange efficency or something like that, But you can't edit the challenge by going to something we didn't say to go to. Also, Using a plane, i'm not going to add the rule that that is cheating, but, it's kind of low quality, because your not really using a rocket, what they are meant for.

    Landing on Laythe and back with no Rockomax, Kerbodyne, or MechJeb, in a single stage:

    Pretty sure it could do an Eeloo flyby and return safely.

    Cool, but this does not count in anyway. Duna, Jool, Eloo. You have not completed the challenge.

    A coupla tings...

    One launch from the KSC?

    Stock-only, right?

    "And GET BACK" means what? You haven't asked for any pictures of this.

    MK3 (C7 Aerospace) parts are OK?

    Get back to kerbin.

    SSTOs - meh!

    Here's a proper rocket...

    It was all going to plan (yea, a plan, right!) with loads of dV to spare, when I realised in Eeloo orbit that my lander had a TWR of <1! Whoops. Had to burn off nearly half my fuel in maneuvers just to get the TWR to a workable level.

    Then, of course, I was cutting it fine when I got back to Kerbin. I had to have about a dozen tries at aerobraking to get it down and even then I had to burn off the ions etc.

    Still, all's well that ends well!

    Nice job! you nailed it!

    I made a really stupid mistake.

    SMALL ROCKET

    LONG WAY

    DUN DUN DUN DUU DUU DUNDUNUDUN

    Ok enough with the starwars music

    Backstory

    Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard Co.

    and Spaceship parts Co. Were going to run out of buisness if they didn't do something. Rockomax and Kerbodyne's fuel tanks were bigger and better. and they were being used for all kinds of missions.

    But, Jeb and Spaceship parts Co. Were just being used for the mun. which now had 1,000,000 flags on it because someone in my last challenge.

    So. Jeb and Spaceship Parts Co. Teamed up and enounced they would together build a rocket and fly somewere far away and vast....

    And GET BACK.

    MISSON

    Your mission is to get to Jool, Or Eeloo, Depending on what mode you are on.

    EASY MODE

    Easy mode is the first one. Get to Duna using

    No fuel tanks from Kerbodyne and Rockomax.

    Anything else is fine. You may use rockets

    from kerbodyne, and rockomax too.

    MEDIUM MODE

    GET INTO JOOL ORBIT AND LAND ON ONE OF ITS MOONS USING

    NO ROCKETS

    FROM ROCKOMAX OR KERBODYNE

    AND NO FUEL TANKS FROM THEM.

    HARD MODE

    NO ROCKETS

    NO FUEL TANKS

    NOT ANYTHING

    WITH KERBODYNE

    OR ROCKOMAXES

    NAME IN IT

    .....

    Oh,

    FLY

    TO

    Eeloo.

    I want to make this really hard. on hard mode,

    NO MECHJEB.

    Did i make that to intense? Nah, I probably didn't.

    Anyway, Goodluck! You have to have photos of the rocket in the Vab, Takeoff, your manuever node that is an encounter, a picture of you orbiting the planet, a picture of rentry or coming down, and then a picture of you on the ground, and finally, get ol' Jeb out and plant the flag. Goodluck!:D

    HALL OF FAME

    Foxster - Hard Mode completed

    Red Iron Crown - Medium Mode completed

    Purpleivan - Hard Mode Completed

    Do to the people not being able to read or identify GET BACK

    Or Getting to Duna, Jool, Or Eeloo, it means landing.

    Jool, however. land on one of jools moons. because you can't land on Jool.

    Getting back, Means landing back on kerbin.

    If I plant a million flags to I get 1,000,000 points?

    'cos I'll totally do it man.

    the limit is 3.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Is mechjeb allowed?

    Sorry, it's not allowed.

    - - - Updated - - -

    EDIT: Really sorry! i completly forgot a rule! No use of the big passenger module. 3 of these things on a kerbodyne rocket and your golden.

    Look! it's your other ship! Nope, that's the mun arc!

    My Purple MUN 3 rocket decends over the mun. While i'm controlling my decent, i ask my friend if he can see my other already landed ship from a few days ago.

    Suddenly, something kinda shines in the distance. My friend says, there it is! I look a tiny bit closer. its the mun arch.

    This is what my head is thinking: Wow. you randomly come across the mun arch when you're doing a normal mission to land on the mun.

    It was awesome

    I would post pictures, but for some reason i can't see a button to upload a pic from computer.

    Asta La Vista, Eloo!

    So, i'm sorry i cant get a photo. but, this is very easily possible. I did it, on accident, I basicly when doing a orbit earth mission,

    Created a "Kerbin escape" Node. And the big yellow death line. i was going to orbit the sun

    ---=3 SECONDS LATER=--- My ship with it's rockets on is spinning out of control, and i've boom, Created an orbit that goes farther out into space than eloo's orbit, and then comes back around the sun.

    This is sort of a race, because it can be easily done.

    First one to post wins first, second post second, ect intill 5th place

    2 rules

    No infinite fuel (HEY, I DIDN'T SAY RCS, GO AHEAD)

    The spin: Can't use manuever nodes. (I did it without maneuver nodes, i did it on acident, goodluck!)

    Fine Print: We are not responsible for your kerbals crashing into eloo. A participation medal will be awarded if you acdiently crash into eloo.
