  1. Look in the OP. I made them standard now. yep that's right. Your plane MUST, I mean MUST, have a radome to compete.
  2. Looks fun... I might actually make a new section. Considering. -SPAdddict
  3. A little late for a ship suggestion, but with Stock Fuel Switch, you could've gotten a LOT more LF per tank
  4. It's in orbit. I'm also using EVE PlanetShine and DistantObjects, but none off those are visible from KerbinSuperSuperHighOrbit
  5. Can't wait to see the next update! P.S: Is your Laythe lander a spaceplane? 'Cause I did one too! - - - Updated - - - After the design checked out, Felix was assigned to fly the Tri-Flyer up to Kerbin Station where it docked and was refueled for the mission. http://i.imgur.com/2ey9fOz.pngThe tanks and battery of the Try-Flyer were locked off and Felix transferred to the station. Meanwhile the tug rendezvoused with the station and awaited the release of the Tri-Flyer from the station. The Tri-Flyer was released as dead weight and grabbed by the tug. The tug proceeded to rendezvous with JEM once again. http://i.imgur.com/Q85hEEc.pngI then proceeded to pull off the coolest docking I've ever done. I carefully lined up on the axis of JEM carrying the Tri-Flyer as dead weight. The dockings had grown a bit routine for me, and I wasn't even using Docking Port Alignment Indicator most of the time, but it was invaluable for this. I changed attitude so that the tug was directly between JEM and the Tri-Flyer. I began to gently thrust back toward JEM, pulling the Tri-Flyer along. I minutely adjusted the alignment and then proceeded to undock the Tri-Flyer. I added a bit of additional thrust toward the JEM and then quickly off to the side to get out of the way. I switched the focus to JEM and watched as the Tri-Flyer glided in to dock with JEM. I got it on the second try. http://i.imgur.com/YuVncoI.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/QxB7cv1.pngA conference was called with the engineering staff and the consensus was 'More Fuel', so another mission was scheduled to deliver a final module to JEM. This time the new cargo drone was used for the delivery. http://i.imgur.com/1FXcD1S.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/xp2Y30F.pnghttp://i.imgur.com/uA8S3Vw.pngHere she is - complete. I pushed it as far as I thought I could go. TWR was 0.24, and dv with all lander tanks full and locked off was 3131 m/s. The huge uncertainty in the cost to capture and the viability of aerobraking at Laythe have left Bob and I with 'concerns' . http://i.imgur.com/XTqvEjp.png At this point I got a bit distracted with learning how to get Hummlebee to orbit atop the Orange Knight while the crew waited for the transfer window. Next time - we burn for Jool! Happy landings! - - - Updated - - - She's 306 tonnes and 199 parts. There are really only the two landers. The main lander and the Tri-Flyer. Happy landings!

  6. Hey Sampa! Here's a dedicated spaceplane courtesy of AddictionAeroworks. Why? It's can be an emergency Kerbal lander to safely not kill your Kerbals if the station 'splodes or something! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B588M8xKv0QKd0o5TEZSanFmZ2M/view?usp=sharing
  7. Banned for banning someone who banned someone who learned.
  8. Ayup! EDIT: If your gonna change your fighter, do it fast. You're next in queue.
  9. Yep. But first, he needs supplies and a new comms system. (Reference)
  10. I suck at landing w/o reaction wheels. Currently, I am almost done making LF/O, moving on to monoprop soon. -SPAddict
