  1. You could make an "extended version", it would still look pretty similar.
  2. That's a pretty good entry, but it would really help if you list your accomplishments and calculate your point total. Your part clipping is justified, but I personally think that 4 rapier engines for each pod are enough. As for your question, no, because you can't use any of the fuel in the tanks, and the tanks have to be deployable, and that wouldn't be possible without popping the fairing, which breaks the first rule. So for the time being, the answer is no, unless you can justify it. I hope I'm not being too strict here.
  3. For that, just go below 91,554 m, and have your speed below 1000m/s
  4. The Ultimate Skylon Challenge I was browsing the forums, and I thought, is there a skylon challenge? So I looked around, and yes, there is, but I decided that I wanted to make an improved version, and I wanted to make a challenge anyway, so here we go: Rules: Basic rule of thumb: it has to resemble a skylon. If you're really not sure, check the picture above, or do a search. It must be able to carry some sort of payload into orbit. It must have SSTO capabilities. No parts mods, autopilot mods, or cheat mods allowed. Graphic mods are okay. No cheats, reverts are okay. The Challenge(s): This is basically a bunch of challenges clumped together, for the skylon. Basic Skylon: Must get into Kerbin orbit and follow all the rules listed above. (+50 pts) Extra points for: Docking 2 skylons together (+20 pts) Can carry a Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank as a payload without using any of the fuel in the tank (+20 pts) Can carry a Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank as a payload without using any of the fuel in the tank (+30 pts) Landing at the KSC or Desert Airfield (+50 pts) Mun Skylon: Must get into Munar orbit and follow all the rules listed above. (+50 pts) Prerequisite: Basic Skylon Extra points for: Landing on the Mun (+50 pts) Docking 2 Skylons together in Munar orbit (+50 pts) Not using an ISRU (+50 pts) Can carry a Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank as a payload without using any of the fuel in the tank (+30 pts) Can carry a Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank as a payload without using any of the fuel in the tank (+40 pts) Landing at the KSC or Desert Airfield (+50 pts) Minmus Skylon: Must get into Minmus orbit and follow all the rules listed above. (+50 pts) Prerequisite: Basic Skylon Extra points for: Landing on Minmus (+50 pts) Docking 2 Skylons together in Minmus orbit (+50 pts) Not using an ISRU (+50 pts) Can carry a Rockomax X200-32 Fuel Tank as a payload without using any of the fuel in the tank (+30 pts) Can carry a Rockomax Jumbo-64 Fuel Tank as a payload without using any of the fuel in the tank (+40 pts) Landing at the KSC or Desert Airfield (+50 pts) Interplanetary Skylon: Must orbit least 3 celestial bodies (other than the Mun, Minmus, or Kerbin), and follow all the rules listed above. (+50 pts) Prerequisites: Basic Skylon, Mun or Minmus Skylon Extra Points for: Orbiting a celestial body other than the Mun, Minmus, or Kerbin (+50 pts each) Landing on a celestial body other than the Mun, Minmus, Kerbin, Jool or Kerbol (+100 pts each) Not using an ISRU ((Excluding Jool or Kerbol) +50 pts for each planet landed on)) "Land" on Jool ((Enter the atmosphere) + 100 pts) "Land" on Kerbol ((Same with Jool, but I don't really know if this is possible, congratulations if you do it) +200 pts) How to enter: Have a picture of your Skylon on the runway, so most parts are visible. Have a picture of your Skylon completing each objective you decide to try, so extra points can be properly awarded. Calculate your point totals. Submit your entry (Post) before June 31, 2020 (The deadline). Notes: If you have any suggestions, or questions, feel free to ask or give them. Leaderboard: Basic Skylon: 1.ralanboyle, 120 pts. 2. vyznev, 50 pts. 3. _ 4. _ Mun Skylon: 1. _ 2. _ 3. _ 4. _ Minmus Skylon: 1. _ 2. _ 3. _ 4. _ Interplanetary Skylon: 1. _ 2. _ 3. _ 4. _
  5. Hi, I'm new to the forums. I haven't done much yet, but I managed to land a lander on the mun. The problem is, when I was landing, I somehow broke the engine off, so I have 2 kerbals stranded on the mun. I play sandbox, so what should I do? I can include a picture if needed.
  6. Hi, I'm new to the forums. I've tried designing sstos, but none of them work. So far, I've also managed to land on the mun, but when I landed, my engine broke off. What should I do?
  7. Sorry, I'm new to the forums, and I've been reading this for a while and I just joined, I have a question: I remember in one of the chapters that you said something about joenie having to complete school, I think this was the berelegan. Can you give more information about kerbal schooling, because it's not really mentioned further. I'm just curious. By the way, this is a great story.
