Stupidly hard challenge.
Richmountain112 replied to Leo-MathGuy's topic in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas
Well, Duna and Kerbin both have atmospheres so overclocked ion engines could be used to power a plane or rotorcraft. Can't say the same for Tylo though… -
Though I think the Sarnuspollo would be tricky because you have a light moon with a thick atmosphere (Tekto), a Tylo clone with slightly lower gravity (Slate), Eeloo, and 2 small Shepard moons in low orbit that are just like Gilly but lighter (Hale and Ovok). The Neidollo would be tricky because Thatmo is in a retrograde orbit so you would likely want to arrive retrograde. But the second moon is in an erratic prograde orbit and tricky to transfer to.
-
Are planet mods allowed? Like OPM and Planet Cyran (A note: Since Cyran replaces Dres, the Drespollo could be modified a bit)
-
Yeah. It says that Time control is incompatible yet it works anyways.

Nope. Should be obvious if it isn't already. -
After searching on CKAN, Unfortunately it is incompatible with 1.12
-
Any mod recommendations for KSP jet bridges and SSTO service trucks? Also I meant for one that you attach directly to the plane, not one that's part of the airport.
-
Well, I'm also curious if you're ever going to make a Jet Bridge for planes and SSTOs.
-
And what about the N1 launch tower? I'll use the Saturn 5 tower as a substitute for now.
-
Also for some reason every time I launch the game, a new, identical custom category spawns.
-
Well, I also meant the actual tower. I'm just gonna use the Saturn 5 tower as a substitute since there is no N1 tower yet as I figured. Maybe you can make it. But the Shuttle launch pad will suffice for Energia, at least for me.
-
Where are the N1 Launch plates? I didn't see any in the VAB.
-
A note: the Soyuz pad doesn't work with the N1 rocket. Not without clipping into it. I'll use this rocket to rescue Kerbals from Slate.
-
No. Never really used them in flight (Except for Eve Landers, that failed for a different reason); too heavy to work because of the significant Delta-V penalty.
-
So I sent an Apollo mission to Slate from the Outer Planets mod, and I captured into Sarnus by engine burning (That was intentional, I always capture into Sarnus with engines). When I landed on Slate, I reached zero horizontal velocity quite easily using expendable fuel tanks but I ran out of fuel right before landing. Whoops. It has a bunch of science on it as well plus a command module in orbit. The image below should be enough to tell what's going on.
Edit: I have a lot of mods installed as well. A LOT of them.
It would be cool if you did a video of the Outer Planets mod. Maybe this could be the first one.
Could you please rescue them?

It is also pretty useful for Nuclear shuttles that use exclusively Liquid Fuel and you don't want the main engines consuming any of it. I sent one to Pol and back. Did an inefficient return to Kerbin by using a Duna assist and directly going to Kerbin from there when I could've gone straight to Kerbin when I had the Delta-V to slow down for aerobraking.
-
Finally I found a solution to my Shuttles exploding and having to cheat to survive Edit: From interplanetary velocities, I meant.
-
True. And if you use the Stock system (plus stockalike Planet packs like OPM and Planet Cyran), have fun with heavier (and more fun) payloads.
-
I already have OPM and the SRBs and ET are very OP on a 1x scale. The boosters alone reached an apoapis of 80km before being jettisoned
-
Well, you could, but it isn't really practical. Because Eve's atmosphere is extremely thick, you'd have trouble getting out of the lower atmosphere, let alone reaching orbit. Now if you're doing a One-Way SSTO from Kerbin, that would make a fine base.
-
I wonder if Outer Planets Mod would work with this? Probably not, though.
-
Also, are Hammerhead Fairings allowed?
-
Sometimes I use them, other times simpler things are better (like going interplanetary, though sometimes I do go interplanetary with Space Shuttles). Regarding Space Stations, I use Shuttles for some stations.

My mods: Atomic Age (does this alone disqualify me?) Cormorant Aeronology Jool Biomes (Adds Biomes to Jool) Kerbal Engineer Readouts Kerbal Reusability Expansion (Not used for Shuttle) Kopernicus (Required for OPM) Mk2 Expansion (Not used for Shuttle) Mk3 Expansion (Coswaxin Engines) Orbiter Construction Kit (Not used for Shuttle) Outer Planets Mod Planet Cyran Plume Party (Not used for Shuttle, bundled with ReDIRECT and/or Orbiter Construction Kit, correct me if I'm wrong) ReDIRECT (Not used for Shuttle) Time Control Tundra Technology (Not used for Shuttle) TweakScale (Not used for Shuttle) A few pictures of various shuttles I made over the last few months for STS-1. DISCLAIMER: They are NOT the same mission, this is just to prove that I made one. In the VAB (Back when I had very few mods installed): Launch: Climbing to Orbit: In Orbit: Landed:
-
Also, this mod is definitely NOT stockalike to me. And in comparison to stock parts, this can withstand more heat.
