RA3236

I was gonna say... Great story by the way, @Just Jim! I'm trying to think of a way to write my own story of my own space program for fun, but I don't think it would go on the forums it's too hard to get things great for me.

Only persistence file editing is cheating.

And my computer is lucky that my part limit in the VAB is low. Then again, I have enough funds...

It prevents you from using it. It is just overpowered reaction wheels. I'll have a look at the mod.

And I run out of electric charge because the ship keeps shaking.

Just thinking, I end up having to wait ten minutes before time warp because of stupid SAS.

No, there is No heating option in there.

And no Alt+F-12. Go and have a look at the Challenge Submission Guidelines - it's stickied in Challenges and Mission Ideas. EDIT: Oh and it doesn't have to be Dropbox. It could be Mega or KerbalX.com.

Example: Leaderboards/people who have completed the challenge (or your own little title check out some other people's challenges for help): Example1 with (points or number of stuff or craft weight at launch or your own thing) Example2 with ... And so on Add people as they submit so that the will appear on the OP.

Is it normal for GravityTurn to cause your final Ap on the other side of the planet? Cool mod though, it decreased my fuel usage by 30%.

Cool!!! By the way, could you make a leaderboard on the OP? Might help if you can see who has done the challenge...

It wasn't the asteroid that exploded; those things are very resistant to heat.

Thank you for giving me an idea on what to do in my career now. I've never gotten past Minmus and I only just got back from Minmus in my Kerbal X replica. That is another thing you could do; in preparation for Duna and Eve try to land on Mun and Minmus with your own replica to test your skills in conserving delta v.

This will never be implemented in stock KSP so what are the chances of a portal device e.g. A Stargate appearing in a mod?

You'd think that from the first day this day last year to today (yes folks exactly one year) I'd have been able to learn how to land on Duna. In fact it is only now that I've figured out that the wiki is wrong and that I can land the Kerbal X on Minmus and come back with 500m/s delta v left (no kidding, I might make a thread after I validate Vens stock revamp). But considering my first rocket of my own got to space only a few months ago and I've even grabbed an asteroid, it proves how much I've changed my method of attack. It started out on 0.90.0 when I was just playing around. I wasn't even thinking of a probe yet. Then a few months after that I went back to Minecraft and somehow it gave me more sense in doing things right. Within five months a probe has landed on Dres (I'm thinking that I'm the only one who chose Dres as its first interplanetary trip), an E-class asteroid has landed on the KSC VAB (not with my help, it did that on its own, I had looked at it and mined it) (that wasn't pretty), and A space station has been built in orbit of the Sun. I'd say that my gaming experience has evolved greatly.

I have Vens Stock Revamp, but I don't want to uninstall it for this challenge. What should I do? Forget about it.

Very cool mission, but I'm looking for new attempts. You will be mentioned in the OP as a special rescue.

The challenge is to rescue a kerbal from anywhere. He/she can be anywhere, and further away means more points. Rules: The kerbal must be alone with no ship. The Kerbal must have been left at location. I'm okay with hyperedit, but do not have it installed when completing the challenge. The rescue craft must be able to land. All mods must be validated by me. Don't even bother with hyperedit. Try to submit as an album, not a video. My internet just hates YouTube at the moment. No infinite fuel. Point modifiers: Number of Kerbals rescued by one ship: +1 per Kerbal, +20 for the initial Kerbal. Yes folks, that means you can still get points in the event of a problem and you cannot rescue him. Parts: +20 under 100 parts. Planet: x2 for Mun and Minmus, 1x for Kerbin x5 for the four closest planets to Kerbin (Duna, Eve, Dres, Moho) x10 for Eve Surface rescue x10 for Jool and Eeloo (stock orbits) and x15 for all planets out side of this, for OPM users. x3 for Sun rescue x100 for GalacticNeighborhood rescue other than Kerbol. x2 for spaceplanes x5 if return for the Kerbal is in an External Command Seat. x10 per planet if you take the Kerbal on a Grand tour after rescue. Special Rescues: Done before the challenge, @ihtoit rescued half a dozen kerbals and then rescued the rescue. True Story :) Have fun, and do the challenge well.

Sorry, but my kind of refuel is not what I think yours is. The escape pod ended with half monopropellant and full LFO. It is still able to land on Kerbin. Maybe even a full ditch to the Mun? 1450m/s delta v might be the trick,

Accepted. Will try tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see my ships fly without KJR. This time it is full stock. EDIT: Can I use an escape pod (ie modified Kerbal X) as a tug? (when I mean modified I mean rebuilt from the ground up)

Wow. Just wow. This is where my big rockets come in.

Except that I will miss Kerbin due to no fuel

Yeah, just tried to do this with some Convert-a-Tron Minis and didnt even get 10 LiquidFuel for my ship from a B class.

Damm, I have a pic somewhere from 0.90.0... EDIT: Not an attempt due to version.

Yeah, KSP Solar system isn't realistic, and I wouldn't mind having a 1km asteroid to kill off the kerbosaurs.
