  1. I ve had to try a few times, because it turns out 10k delta v rockets are fairly hard to steer, but it s now finding a transfer in 3 days instead of 6 days ago.
  2. The orbital transfer maneuver tool seems to have made a series of very grave mistakes, the biggest one is that it's only generating a maneuver to Moho 6 days in the past, despite the fact the transfer window theoretically starts in a day. I ve had issues where it skips an upcoming transfer window and schedules it far in the future, but this maneuver is just impossible without a time machine. Should I just roll back the save and hope I get a better dice roll of a calculation? https://photos.app.goo.gl/L9yCksbpxjDa3GpE6 Going to Eve and Duna it worked like a charm, but I seems other planets give it much more trouble.
  3. I'm building a rover to send to Dres since it's transfer window is coming up, but the command of the vessel has been assigned to the rover core instead of the mk 2 drone core I have on the lander and it makes using the navball, controls and SAS functions very hard. Is it possible to transfer control to said mk 2 drone core, I'm sure it would solve all the issues. https://photos.app.goo.gl/wtAfcqgc7MgwCKVGA Thank you in advance.
  4. I got 3 missions to Eve (one for Evelike Sun orbit) for which I used basically the same ship with a few tweaks for their requirements (Scaner or telescope). It was a Mansail SSTO with a nuclear engine orbiter it had about 2500 excess delta V , but since it was only my second attempt at interplanetary travel, I wanted to play it safe, the first 2 missions went well, despite the Eve satellite taking about 1k more delta v than it should have, but then I had to maneuver a satellite to Gilly Kolniya orbit, and it was a disastrous piloting display xd. After capturing around Eve at about the right budget, I wasn't being able to find an encounter with Gilly, then, I saw one, but it was absurd, it meant making a huge burn to invert my orbit, I knew it was not the right thing to do, but seeing no other alternatives I decided to give it a shot. However now that I was going against the orbit, I would be forced to cancel all of my relative speed, costing me most of my remaining delta V. But it was only now that I found myself in the most ridiculous situation of the mission (which you cam see in the photo, my inclination was almost opposite to the required one, being used to making crazy maneuvers by this point though, I did a grand normal burn followed by retrograde, and somehow managed to complete the contract with "only" 100 delta V remaining. Photo of crazy orbit change I certainly need to improve my piloting, but nuclear engines really saved the day, even though I absolutely shouldn't have succeeded.
  5. I have completed it now thanks to my absurd delta v, and yeah, it did show up eventually, I said so earlier but it still hasn't been approved by a moderator. I still do need to know about how to do the asteroid tracking though.
  6. I have now ejected from Kerbin and only now is it showing the orbit required, I am about 70 degrees out of phase, but I hope it doesn't end up mattering for the mission since it's close to circular anyway. I would also like to know how you need to map the asteroids, is it automatic, do I have to do something with it, or do I have to send a ship to every asteroid I want to map?
  7. https://photos.app.goo.gl/RU7GV8GyMqkTdtvK8 I've accepted this mission which tells me to put a space telescope into solar orbit somewhat close to Eve's, however, unlike the other 2 missions I have active for putting Satelites around Eve, it's not graphically showing me the orbit. It's "almost" circular, so perhaps it doesn't feel the need to show it, but I would rather have it as a guide if possible, I do have about 4.3k delta v in Kerbin orbit so either way it should be fine (bless nuclear engines xd). Thank you for your attention.
