I’m playing on PS4, and I did my first Moho mission this morning! It was a partial success, I used that Olex calculator tool to work out when I needed to launch, and I got to Moho. The trouble is when I arrived I was going at an insane speed, I put in a manoeuvre node to put me in orbit, and it estimated a 30min burn with my nuclear engine! I didn’t have the fuel for that, so it turned into a flyby with me frantically trying to get the science done as I hurtled through the “space near Moho” zone in seconds. Any idea what I’m doing wrong? I had a pretty basic ship, a Mk1 Mercury style capsule, some simple science stuff, the big orange fuel tank( Jumbo 64, I think), and the Nerv engine. I thought this would have more than enough fuel to get me into orbit and back home. Do I need a bigger ship? Different engine? More than one nuclear engine?

I had the same trouble with the RT-10 Hammer test on PS4. Test on Launch Pad, I got the green ticks for “at Kerbin” and “at launch pad”, but when I started the engine, it would not complete the contract. Tried the same stuff as yourself, but no matter what I did, it wouldn’t clear.

Hello! I’ve been playing KSP for just over a month on PS4. While I’m not great at the game, I really do enjoy it, and I’ve slowly worked my way through the main missions around Kerbin. I am now about to attempt interplanetary missions, and I fear they may be beyond my ability! So I signed up here, as I will probably need all the help I can get!
