I think it would look better stock-alike

What propulsion system should we use for Mars exploration?
Ackoli replied to Spaceception's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I think most people have voted for chemical propulsion I don't think people know that nuclear reactors and RTG's don't actually pollute, unless in the (very) rare case of a nuclear meltdown.- 130 replies

put repairing drones on the spacecraft, then if anything does go wrong, the mission is not doomed- 130 replies

Ackoli replied to Spaceception's topic in Science & Spaceflight
I got confused, I thought solar electric propulsion was having a massive sail, propelled by solar light (which is feasible), not the other type. my rankings still remain the same.- 130 replies

Solar electric propulsion would require a HUGE sheet, and may not generate enough thrust. NERVA engines would be good, I would use them (but then you would need nuclear reactors)., but I created this theoretical propulsion system, run by shooting dry ice pellets through a (very!) long tube while being accelerated with lasers. That design could work, (I called it AC propulsion) and the fuel would be almost free, with the advantage of being able to refuel from the Martian atmosphere and waste life support. I would rank NERVA first, VASIMR second, and solar electric propulsion last.- 130 replies

make it so that you can choose your kerbals name
-
I've made descriptions for this mod: farlo = a big, blueish planet, farlo was first discovered when that blue spot on the telescope lens could not be wiped off. elras = a nice little blue planet made out of some sort of ice. it gives good views of the rings, but it is very, very cold claie = a greenish brown lump. the green is very nice, and would be a nice place to go to. rolk = a mountainous lump, with some blueish stuff on the mountaintops. kesto = the smallest object In the kerbol system, this thing is nearly impossible to see.
-
Making descriptions for all the planets takes around 2 minutes, so it would be extremely easy. descriptions would make everything nicer, and I am not landing on claie.

2262t Fail - An Asteroid "Mission"
Ackoli replied to Speeding Mullet's topic in KSP1 Mission Reports
class E asteroids are much bigger than I thought... -
make descriptions for the planets in game
-
I edited it. TAC life support still gives points though, because it makes everything SO HARD!!
-
launch a base with 4+ kerbals, and a space station, lander, rover, and satellite in ONE LAUCNH scoring system: +1 for each kerbal +2 for each satellite +10 for TAC life support -1 for planetary base systems -1 for each dead kerbal -1 for near future propulsion +1 per escape pod +0 for a mun base +1 for a minmus base +2 for a duna base +5 for a joolian moon base +5 for an eelo base -1 for a mod planet base +1 for a gilly base -50 for BD armoury +100 for only SRBs and no parachutes someone make a badge for this, and take a screenshot of your rocket.

Quite possibly a couple of firsts?

they should do this in real life! -

I wonder if you could get to duna via refuelling on asteroids on the way -
I am planning to make a large mod and a life support system. the following parts of my plan are listed here: AC propulsion systems: dry ice propelled engines, and containers for dry ice. AC bases: a bunch of habitats and greenhouses and base parts, and some other stuff AC electrics: FUSION!! GEOTHERMAL!!! WIND!!! MOAR BATTERIES!! OTHER STUFF!! AC life support: a life support system with 3 greenhouse types, insect, fruit, and vegetable. kerbals consume safe oxygen, edibles and hydrates, and produce organic waste, used water, and CO2. kerbals also need coffee to go on EVA, and if you have teddy bears than you get more reputation. I need to know how to make a life support system, and I also need some tutorials on 3D modelling, and how to convert the finished model to a .mu file. and if anyone can make a flag for AC space industries, I will accept it. the flag will say AC in dark green, and the rest of it would be some shade of green, and do not have a picture of a kerbal on it.

[1.0.5] TAC Life Support v0.11.2.1 [12Dec]
Ackoli replied to TaranisElsu's topic in KSP1 Mod Releases
I am planning to make my own life support mod, could you tell me how?
