Why is no one posting these in the C-7 Space Plane Exchange topic?
-
Those are the coolest rockets I have ever seen on the forums...awesome job Syrsa! Those textures are just the icing on the cake...
-
Welcome to the KSP Forums!
Happy Launching!
Arrr!

Does 80% of your posts just come from posting this message to every new user =P

Doing all those things at the same time is actually hard... So i\'m just launching some satellites. (using Novaunch Repack. craft file is attached)
Just after takeof
Pushing hard to to get into orbit
Time for TMI
On the way...
.. for a crash landing
Got into an orbit and had some fuel left. Better bring more stuff next time.
Deploying satellites: 6...
12...
some more...
more...
the kluster is deployed!
Got back with enough fuel for a point landing.
Aiming really hard.
Close enough!

Well shiver me timbers and call me Woody! That\'s amazing!

A vox guitar? Sweet!

I think I can do this quite reliably. Four satellites taped to a normal mun rocket, deploy two in parking orbit and two in munar orbit.
But that\'s only worth 80 points...oh well it\'s a start.

Hello again. In honor of 0.12, I present..
Haha I love it. I know the three wolf thing wouldn\'t usually be in 1366x768<--(I think that\'s it) but I would love it if maybe you extended the night sky to the sides so it would fit nicely as a desktop background.

Oh god, we have a michiganian infestation now!
I\'m close enough...Chicago Illinois although I was born in Germany but grew up in New Zealand and England.
-
these photos were taken using Ksp 0.12
the craft file doesn\'t exist anymore
Oh, sorry to hear that.
-
To the Moon- no
On the moon- no
on the moon safely -yes
I use a lithobreaking technique where i use a fuel tank and engine to slow the rocket down to a complete halt and land on the moon. i then let the rocket fall onto its wheels.
it doesnt matter if the fuel tank is damaged it is close to empty anyway.
the photos i have attached show two Kinds of rovers (one earlier version and a later version) they both used the same landing technique which proved to be the most reliable.
Earlier version
Later version (notice the things put in place to prevent parts breaking off)
Nice, thanks for the help. Seems as though most of these pictures are taken at night, did you know when you are landed and stationary, you can warp? Sometimes it won\'t let you when SAS is on though.
-
Awesome, I\'ve been thinking of doing a mission like this. I\'ll start building my own rocket now.
-
do you have any specific questions?
Yeah, is it difficult to get that rover on the mun?
-
Ya.
It\'s-a-me, Luigi!
But I can\'t believe I deleted my .craft folder of .12 and .13 pre release 3.
WHY WAS I SO FOOLISH TO THINK A NEW START WOULD BE GOOD
WHY
Why did I not back up my computer? I ended up losing a little more than my crafts lol...
-
-
No real point now, there is no wheel feature support just yet.
Well it doesn\'t have to drive on wheels, it could be what you suggested, a rover that moves on a sled.
-
Just a note to everyone-you can now hide the UI with the F2 key.
That is probably the most useful thing I have heard of in a while, thanks!
-
Either that or making a sled-type vehicle with a small but efficient motor.
Someone needs to make special parts for a rover.
-
Orbit means, place in orbit?
Sounds plausible. Too bad I\'m on a vacation right now :\'(
What? A vacation is good, why do you cry about it?
-
I don\'t have any in mind at the moment... I am, however, playing around with the idea of building a rover
Oooh, I like the sound of a rover. Definitely try and release one in the next update if you can.
-
Are you going to post the .craft file? My imagination can\'t think of something so cool.

I put a big ol\' station on the Mun.
On the launchpad. This is by far my biggest rocket to date.
First stage. 4x huge 3-meter monster engines. Keeping it from tearing itself apart with standing wave vibrations takes a lot of practice. I start out at full blast and throttle back as the fuel runs out.
Dumping stage 1. Stage 2 is a set of solid boosters. We\'re out of atmo here, so control is easier, but takes up a ton of RCS fuel. I actually tacked this stage on a previous (much smaller) mun lander, to give it the extra lifting capacity.
Dumping stage 2. In a highly-elliptical almost-orbit at this point.
Stage 3 gets me the rest of the way to a munar intercept orbit (or whatever it\'s called).
The orbital service module is a hell of a lot bigger than the one from Apollo. I\'ll probably stick some habitation modules, solar panels, and antenna later.
The orbiter module gets left in orbit. All that\'s left is the station module and the 2-stage return module.
Here we go people. This is not a drill!
Touchdown.
Big station. Plenty of room for activities. Big upward-facing antennae for calling home. Loads of sensors, living quarters, etc. Serves a permanent crew of 6, with cramped but serviceable accommodations for maybe a dozen. Mun buggy not included (someone should get on that).
There is a return module, but I didn\'t get to try an ascent, because when I time-dilated (in order to get some sunrise shots),the station fell through the munar floor. Very annoying. I\'ll try again later. Some of my previous (smaller) moon landings that used the same return module have returned safely, so I\'m not particularly worried.
Holy crap... wish I had an imagination like you...
-
Awesome! Can\'t wait.

That\'s my latest version of KerbalCommunications aka 'put 3 CommSats to KSO 120 degrees from each other'
The only modded parts are CommSat (just a payload, mass=1.4) and a bit modified decouplers for payload (copy of stock decoupler only with 0 force - you can replace them with the stock ones, but I don\'t like throwing the satellite at such speed after adjusting precise orbit).
Total mass of satellites+their decouplers= 3*( 1.4+0.8 )=6.6
Fuel - only 22 LFT.
Target orbit - stationary (2869 km circular)
(the flight profile also includes 2 transitions to 30 min faster orbit and back to change coordinates over surface)
And at least the payload is not a spent fuel tank.
So, what would you say?
Post a .craft file with that decoupler and I\'ll give it a go.

Could you write about getting back to Kerbin from a Kerbol orbit? I can never get back...
To the edge of the known kerbal space and back
