  1. Pictures from: Sent my newest space station into orbit. The Noicatse Station core (Noicatse means station in kerbalise): Also while deorbiting the booster I spotted the KSC from orbit:
  2. Year 9 Day 27 - The Noicatse Station With the maiden voyage of the Artemis program a success, work began on a refueling space station for longer missions. The first part, the station core, was to be sent up first. A name had been chosen: Noicatse (A kerbalise word meaning Station). This Station uses @Nertea's mod SSPXr for the crew quarters and control room. The core was sent up on a Jool IV rocket, a modified version of a Saturn V. "We have liftoff!" Staging went off without a hitch and the rocket shot through the flames. The fairing deployed perfectly, giving everyone a perfect view of the core. A perfectly circular 100 km orbit was reached and the solar panels were deployed. A new type of booster was being tested, one that could deorbit after launching its payload. As the booster deorbited cameras on it saw something interesting... (Left side and on the big chunk of land if you can't see it right away) ... After seeing this picture several unmarked black SUVs pulled up outside the KSC. Within a few hours a new mission was being planned, one that could Take pictures from orbit in order to spy on kerbals. (REDACTED) Telling anyone about the text you have just read will end with you being prosecuted for treason and thrown into jail. Just ignore the entire last bit from the picture down. - KIA (Kerbal Intelligence Agency) The next mission was planned, the first crew to visit the new station.
  3. This isn't working on CKAN either, it gives me a kraken error and refuses to let me download. Also downloading scatterer from space dock gives a 404 error
  4. How do you do a mini topic like this? When I try to do this it just put up a link instead Never mind I figured it out
  5. Year 9 Day 21 - Return of Artemis 1 After a bit of a rest inside the capsule (a 20 hour nap to be exact) Bob was sent exploring. The mission goal: These weird boulders. Bob looked pretty happy to be out exploring. After a bit of jet packing Bob made it to the first of the four or so boulders "We've heard rumors that these boulders are fake, can you confirm that Bob?" - KSC "Yup, definitely fake." - Bob As Bob turned to head back he looked at the fuel gauge on his suit. "Looks like its going to be a long walk back." - Bob As Bob began his multi-hour walk back, Jeb relaxed in orbit. "You might want to walk a little faster, I'm running out of snacks." - Jeb With Bob back, he and Bill hurried to leave before Jeb started eating their snacks. After some time in orbit the craft got within eyeball distance. Closer... Even closer... Super close... And docked! The crew transferred the science and fuel, Bill flew a quick circuit around the ship to inspect it. The ship burned for Kerbin. A few hours later the crew reentered Kerbin's atmosphere and things heated up very quickly. Both inside: (Jeb ended up eating all of Bob's snacks) And outside: Bob seems to have cheered up a bit. He actually seems a bit too happy for being in the middle of aerobraking. The parachutes deployed without a hitch... ... and dropped the craft to a soft landing in the desert. The first Artemis mission had gone off without a single hitch, except for the missing antenna, and was a good sign for the KSC. Work began immediately on a new space station to perform extra experiments and data.
  6. With Werner deposed and Megwig now in charge a mission needed to be completed. Megwig had been working in the background, designing and developing a new Mun lander. This new lander used much less fuel than previous designs and utilized the new OLS (Orbital Launch System) rocket. Jeb and Bill immediately signed up for the maiden voyage but Bob took a little more convincing. Bob: "Only if Bill leaves his Chili and Blue Cheese hot dogs at home." The rocket is now on the launchpad. The mission's first hurdle happened after the technicians locked the hatch Bob: (Shrieking) "I said I wouldn't go if he brought them! I can already smell the cheese" The rocket blasted off without a single problem besides some crumbs spilling onto the back wall of the capsule. Slowly the rocket tipped over for its gravity turn. As the rocket reached 40 kilometres the flames began to lick against the fairing. At the very top the brand new abort system broke through the atmosphere. Unbeknownst to all, technicians had forgotten to set up the abort system. With the rocket now above the atmosphere it was time to deploy the fairing. Now that orbit now achieved the two craft separated to begin the begin the first part of the mission "Artemis you are go for Mun Transfer Burn" To save fuel this mission used more correction burns. With the practiced eye of a trained professional kerbonaut (His words, not mine) Jeb lined up the maneuver marker on the navball with "That pointy thing that means our ship" It was at this moment that the VAB team realized that they had forgotten to install the lander's antenna. It was still packaged so the team decided to return the antenna and collect the money as a bonus. Bob is looking much happier now that he is in space and collecting science again. Bob: "Is that the Mun!" Jeb: "You know we went there on Werner's rockets right?" The ship slid into a textbook orbit around the Mun and began preparations for descent. Jeb stopped to take a quick Kerbin rise picture. With the deceleration burn complete the lander fell silently toward the Mun. A few hundred meters above the surface the engine turns on to slow the fall with a horrible lurch. Bill: "I shouldn't have had the last five chili-cheese dogs!" "KSC, We have landed!" To make it up to Bob for making him sit with Bill, the KSC decided to let him plant the flag. Bill then climbed out and helped Bob set up the experiments. Before climbing back inside for second dinner and a nap. Bob decided to go for a run but forgot how low the gravity was and tripped over his own feet. With Bob and Bill back in the ship the KSC decided to leave the surface exploration for the next day.
  7. Hey KSP only! No Orbiter screenshots! My Artemis Lander landing on the Mun
  8. Evicted the director of the KSC Exploring the Kosmos How do you do a mini topic like this?
  9. Prologue - Year 9 Day 17 Shock ran through the KSC at the news. Werner Von Kerman was being fired! The former rocket designer had been the sole director of the KSC since Gene Kerman had died (a horrific accident involving Jeb's second cousin, the Administration building, and a rouge rocket) and, as rumor claimed, had been doing a terrible job of directing ever since. The rumors were true though. Werner had been more obsessed with personal glory and the pursuit of little blue pieces of Science than he was with crew safety. Stories had been told of the old "Kerbal way" to build things. Werner's personal motto was "Moar Boosters!" which was a slogan frowned upon by Mortimer Kerman as an expensive way to go to space. Werner's more recent PR disasters had been the last Duna mission where Jeb, Bill, and Bob were stuffed into a MK1-3 capsule for 4 years and sent into the black expanse of space. They had come back with horror stories of Bill chili breath and Jeb's obsession with never washing his socks. When they had come back Bob had stuffed himself into a dark closet in the back of the Astronaut Complex, ironically the same closet Jeb stored his socks and shoes in, and was refusing to leave until all chili and blue cheese had been thrown into Kerbol. However the biggest disaster had been the deorbiting of the old Hitchhiker station with the crew in it! The same crew who had been in it since Year 2! Werner had refused to send a rescue ship and the whole crew had died. However the crew miraculously showed up two hours later in the Astronaut complex, talking about Krakens, bits, bytes, and something called a settings menu. The physiologists diagnosed insanity. So Werner was being given the boot. The question now was who should replace him as director. Jeb was to proud of his accomplishments to be put as a lowly director, Bill loved to be in space, Bob was... incapacitated, and Val wanted to be able to beat Jeb to the surface of somewhere. Many other Kerbals just wanted to be in space. The former test pilot Megwig Kerman was the most promising candidate. She was a huge believer in safety and artistic spacecraft designs. She was sworn in Year 9 Day 17, a day only marred by the fact that Werner had stolen all of his craft designs and destroyed all the ships in orbit.
  10. This page documents my first KSP playthrough. A few days ago I installed the Kerbal Health mod and realized that all my craft would kill the Kerbals inside in a few days. I had found this blog: https://kerbalstates.wordpress.com/ (I think the forum profile is @Saybur Stuff) and it inspired me to document my playthrough like this. I also am a big fan of @purpleivan and his content inspired me to make my own content. The posts may be slightly image heavy but I want to show how to build similar things (looking at how other users build helped me come up with my designs). Mod List:
  11. Does distant object enhancer work with 1.10? Also is there any mod difference between 1.9 and 1.10, like do the mods need major updates and everything?
  12. Spectra only uses EVE's CloudsManager and does not use TerrainManager, AtmosphereManager, or ShadowManager. Instead it uses Kopernicus for terrain and Scatterer for atmosphere. Do you have Kopernicus and Scatterer installed? Also, did you ever press `save` in the EVE GUI? If you did you will have to reinstall Spectra since hitting save breaks EVE's ModuleManager patches and breaks a few planets atmospheres. You'll have to re-download it if you did. Does this mean I need to install Kopernicus for better terrain? Never mind about this question, just saw the Spectra 1.4.0 release page. Also I can't find any geysers or dust storms (I haven't been on Duna much, just once, and have never been to Eve), what is the frequency of those kinds of things?
  13. Do I need the extras folder? What does it add? If I do need it where do I put it: Game data folder or KSP folder?
  14. Is Spectra compatible with Stock Visual Enhancements? Also is there a way to use Spectra without texture replacer, I'm not really a big fan of the kerbals with beards and hair. Thanks
  15. Is there any way to turn off hair for kerbals? I am using this mod so Spectra works but thought the hair and beards were really weird and not really my style.
  16. I think there should be a difficulty setting where it makes it likely that certain things will fail mid-mission, making KSP2 more lifelike and realistic. Like maybe in hard difficulty there is a 5% chance things will fail and in medium a 1% chance and easy a 0% chance.
  17. But wouldn't the Kerbol System still be the main system? Even if they did add RSS it could just be a few light years or so away. However I did read your post and have to agree that I ended up changing my mind. It would mess up the way the game is and the way it acts.
  18. Do you mean cities and things like that? I think those sorts of things should really be added.
