Yep, I've just been without any computer for some times, going to see what i'll have to do. I' won't do any today by the way.

Hi ! Let me present the AerLeeker 3.6 . This plane is the most costly one of the AerLeeker wich are normally small regional planes. This is of course because it's been developped with another airplane company that deals mostly with private jets, and this is why the inside of our AerLeeker is much more comfortable than in other planes of the same models. This is typically a plane for rich kerbals that needs to fly all over the world. With it's 900 units of fuel, you can be sure to arrive on the other side of the planet in a single trip without refueling (That' not true but just imagine that it is). This plane costs 51 900 000 and carries 900 units of fuel. It is recommended to fly this little plane at 6000 meter of altitude at maximum speed (of about 350 to 400 m/s) Download link : https://kerbalx.com/aerodis/aerleeker-36

@SpacePilotMax Nope. And aren't we waiting for teams to be done before we do the missions ? I don't thik this was very clear anyways ...

Oh but wait, the game is freezed I cannot do it now.

Very well I'll do the first. I'll be home in 30 to 40 minutes. Should be finished in 1 hour

Me too

Anyways I think my team ideas wasn't so bad... if you remove the team manager it won't be role play, it would be the same but with fixed teams instead. What you should do is : freeze the game in it's current state for now, wait for people to chose a team, (meanwhile you can edit your original post and add a part with the team and it's current players to quickly see who is in wich team), and then unfreeze and the race begins.

Never mind I didn't see it, I thought it should have had been in another post.

Hmm. You didn't completed mission 1 yet right?

And how about making fair teams before the game starts? Each would have 7 players ( wich means 2 missions per player ) and a team leader who tells each player what mission to do. Then when both teams are ready the game would start. It would be some kind of a coordination game. And the boring missions problem would be solved ! @Pand5461 Totally agree with you. Maybe instead of removing this mission we could force player to use a supersonic plane ! After all this is how they leaved the atmosphere in the first place. Edit : Remember : make teams first, and the game then or new players will chose the winning team of course !

True ! I just forgot the first line when reading you post. Could you add maybe more details for the missions ? For example why don't you add orbital restriction for the first mission ? Maybe the probe would have a minimum apoapsis height like 100 k meter for example. + you didn't told me about hte other funding method I propposed

It looks like a great challenge but it's going to be pretty hard. The thing is : we must do it before the other team. But i have all my day today so I can chose to be Werner von Kerman and do it today. It'll be finished in no time wich isn't really funny. The other thing is that even if we're only able to do 1 mission per day, the first one who finishes work makes the challenge in 10 minutes and the others are fu****. Wich isn't really cool neither. If we want this challenge to be a long one and fair one, we must find a solution. And as @CairoJack said, we're going to be short in money. Even though everything is possible. So why not giving more or less money for each milestones ? For example why not giving 10 000 $ for the first orbiting probe, 5 000 $ for the first manned suborbital spaceflight, and 50 000 for the mün orbit and so on. And another idea that goes with the last one : instead of giving a cost limit for all, just give a 30 000 $ beginning budget for each team.

@AeroGav You shout try to make it as a shuttle ! It could be really cool and I feel like it suits perfectly. Ps : am I dreaming or your UI is like 4 times bigger ?

I made the Yellow Star one. The thing about this one is that we don't need to shape the plane with wing panels to make it cool, only the mk2 fuselages were used here. And it's so stable that it can even fly with a broken wing ! I'm about to post it on kerbalX for the curious. EDIT : Craft posted ! Be sure to check it out and test it for yourself !

That's monstrous ! That's the sort of things I don't enjoy building. I still prefer making small passenger planes like the ones i posted on KerbalX.

Go for the spacecraft

Pretty cool ! Mine is a bit more "squary". We'll see wich one is best .

Could you do other kinds of planes? Small ones for example. Here you're mostly doing big beasts planes.

I've made the Blue Stream : I've just put the link on kerbalx : https://kerbalx.com/aerodis/Blue-Stream

May I use the jaguar Mk V I used in the 6 minutes to critical challenge? It won't win I think...

I was wondering, can it be a seaplane?

I have lots of little airplanes like this. Some of them are on kerbalX, just research aerleeker and you'll find them. I'll do one especially for the challenge.

Quite a lot yes. The fun fact is that I made this vehicle two times. The first was done before update 1.0 if i'm not mistaken. After this update some parts changed their textures and my car did not looked like one anymore. So I decided to build it again with other parts like the small truss and solar panels.

I understand, it was just a proposition.

There's a mod called DMP and with it, you can host servers. So there's one host who has the save, and everyone can come and play on it, at the same time. So things might go even faster. But it does mean that a server is required. I don't know if it's possible. If it is, it can be so cool!
