But I didn't hit a specific set of moons. Don't worry. I have quit the OPM mission in progress. In a month or two it might be ready. It is VERY expansive....

Time warp mods are my friends

*Kerbal muttering in mission control* I may have a video like that planned...

With a kraken drive, anything is possible

The idea isn't to make it easier or more difficult, the intent is simply to add modded planets to the list of acceptable destinations a K-Prize challenge. The modded planets are not worth more, but quiet frankly, I feel that they are neglected as far as challenges goes, so I figured that making a challenge including them would do them some justice, as well as bring about some cool SSTOs.

If you want I can wait

I'm currently doing a grand tour and have some extra fuel and I'm out at Jool. If I moved old Grillian to Jool and renamed it would that be considered cheating? New Grillian will still be at Moho and be visited separately. I've been thinking on the idea for a few days and I figured asking it's developer would give me an official answer. Heck if possible you can tell me what the old grillian's new orbit should be and I'll edit the configs myself.

I just had an idea. You could reuse the old moon textures to give Jool more moons... Maybe you could rename the old Grillian 'Thanatos' or something

Yes, But has Matt Lowne used any planet packs besides Galileo? @Matt Lowne We summon thy, make an Outer Planets Mod SSTO, go to Thatmo.

The Modded K-Prize Party Thread (With given permission from @boolybooly) (Badge pending) The K Prize challenge is to make the obvious craft, a spaceplane, and make it work. All those who succeed will be included on the roll of honour and get a free badge. To enter report relevant accomplishments on a mission which actually flew, your word is good enough but images and videos are welcome. It is encouraged to find any planet pack you can and find an SSTO that can go there. (Outer Planets Mod, Jungis, Xen's Planet Collection, Cyran) Any KSP DLCs can be used. Rules 1. The craft may not lose any parts in flight, no decoupling allowed. 2. The craft must lift off horizontally, reach orbit (PE > 70,000m) and land intact (on Kerbin) ready for 'refuelling'. 3. All fuel tanks, wings (ie lift generators & aerodynamic environments) and engine parts must be non-over powered or cheaty in spirit, for fairness. 4. Mods may be used, for both parts or destinations. Provisos to rule 1. A. Payloads may decouple from the craft providing all payload tanks are as full on decoupling as at launch and any thrust (or lift) generators on the payload were not used prior to decoupling. B. Docking is permitted providing no fuel is transferred (net per fuel type) into the K-Prize craft and then used for propulsion (it can be transferred out). Crew transfers are permitted. C. Mining and refining are permitted providing none of the resulting fuel product is used to drive the craft i.e. mined fuel is treated as payload only. +Kudos 1. Smallest ship (by weight, weight info required). Minimalist record. 2. Largest ship (by weight, weight info required). Maximalist record. 3. Highest orbit beyond Eeloo. Altitudinalist record. 4. Landing on KSC terrain. Pilot proficiency medal. 5. Landing on any KSC runway or docking in orbit. Advanced pilot precision award (1stClass for both). 6. Visiting other SOIs. Kosmokerbal Commendation. 7. Planetoid landings. Astrokerbal Distinction. 8. Payload to orbit and mined product or fuel store to Kerbin from asteroid. Utilitarial Commendation. 9. Payload to distant planet's surface and mined product or fuel store to Kerbin from planet. Utilitarial Distinction. 10. Spaceplane is made 100% from stock parts and visits a modded planet Stock Distinction Prefixes: Exploratory applies to planetoid missions and Expeditionary applies to planetary lander missions outside Kerbin's sphere of influence. (Planets are defined as the central body in their own SOI within Kerbols SOI or gravity exceeding 0.75 of Kerbins.) This challenge is an approved sister-challenge to the original, stock, K-Prize challenge and is meant to reflect it's criteria excluding the mod restrictions. Mods may be used but if they are deemed overpowered, they can be denied. Future Thread Additions will include: A list of available planet packs Roll of Honor - @JacobJHC - Stock Thatmo SSTO (OPM) - Stock Distinction, Astrokerbal Distinction, Kosmokerbal Commendation, Advancer Pilot Precision Award - Stock Trao SSTO (SPE) - Stock Distinction, Astrokerbal Distinction, Kosmokerbal Commendation - Stock Asclepius SSTO (Asclepius) - Stock Distinction, Astrokerbal Distinction, Kosmokerbal Commendation - @Laie - Bigwing Duna - An awesome 4 Kerbal Duna SSTO - Astrokerbal Distinction, Kosmokerbal Commendation, Advancer Pilot Precision Award

I have an SSTO I was going to send to Grillian on standby. I may send it to one of the new worlds instead.

Why are delta-v readouts not allowed?

IS THAT ANOTHER FROTH? HYPE INTENSIFIES On a more serious but still hyped note, when might we expect these to be released?

Cool. I'll have to give this a look...

*lots of clapping*

I sent this thing to Gilly at one point

Could you make Ryke spin a lot faster? Also I am blown away by the texture updates you're giving these planets.

Best of luck to you

could we see it?

I was so close to calling you out on calling the last guy a douchebag, but then I checked the last thread and it's you. I'm glad to see this challenge get rebooted, I had lots of fun last time. You said no mods are allowed, although there are some planet packs I have installed and I'd like to complete the challenge on them. Are planet packs ok to use?

Near the equator, it's nearly 10 kilometers tall if I remember correctly. I tried to land here several times in one of my youtube videos once. I can check the video and tell you if you want.

Will they have high gravity? I am currently doing a grand tour with this pack installed, it would kinda suck to have two more Tylos or a second Eve show up. I have enough extra fuel to visit something big like Duna or a Kerbin so I'll probably be able to get them... yayyyyy

Is there a possibility of Jool getting just one more small moon?

Why low throttle?
