So, today I'm planning on speedrunning KSP, it actually has a leaderboard on speedrun.com: https://www.speedrun.com/ksp
However, it's not used much, there are very few entries and only one of the mods is active (but hasn't responded to my questions yet). I'm going for the All Planets RTA category, which means I have to plant a flag on (or just visit I think, but flags are cooler) every body in the game in career mode.
The previous (and only, so far) record holder, Cunjo Carl, has early game optimized a lot. And by that I mean a lot. As in, 3,000 science in half an hour. I did a test last night, and I was able to get 1800 science in 45 minutes to an hour, so I will probably lag behind in the early game but I plan on doing late game well.
And by that I mean I'm overestimating my ability to do interplanetary missions without mods. Really the only practice I've done for this is figuring out how to quickly build a working Eve lander, and playing the speedrun until Ike (almost 2 hours).
So, wish me luck, the current record is just over eight hours. I'm planning on making a video (split into multiple parts so I don't have to spend 2 days straight uploading to YT on my bad internet) but it will be post commentary and sped up by 4x (again to reduce upload time).
I'll see you in optimistically 7 hours!
There's a chance that I'll post updates here every hour or so depending on interest level and how confident I am that I have time.
