or modify their orbits or use gravitsappa

I don't get the whole point of starting a thread BEFORE uploading the .craft files, or even having any ships in the first place.

what new parts are you planning to add in the future releases?

as far as I know, Squad would like to extend this game to the schools sector one day. Which I personally think is a genuinely great idea. Weapons will no doubt be added by third-party modders but thank you so much for showing me that game, I plan on getting it.

you took that way to seriously...

this thread has some pretty good contenders, but remember: we're in the big leagues now, hold nothing back

Nova, is there a certain real world body that Bop is based on?

it means that the body starts out as a ball, then as you get closer only THEN do mountains and craters start to form. what he's saying is that this no longer happens, and instead of the bodies starting out as spheres, they just spawn with mountains. It's the difference between starting out as a grape, and starting out as a raisin.

Liyner-1

hint hint it's underground

also, if you don't feel that killing your horizontal velocity is what you want, then you could always just use landing gear instead of legs granted I've never tried this, but it should work.

place the landing legs lower add RCS thrusters to your ship kill horizontal velocity at a higher altitude shoot for a landing speed of less than 5m/s

in terms of sheer width, Minecraft outsizes the diameter of Neptune, but I think ultimate size constraints have been removed in the latest versions. But at least in the alpha, Minecraft did come with a definite size, and it was about 130 quadrillion-meters^2

with this mod is there any way that I can lock onto a ship, then have the craft that I'm piloting orient itself towards that ship?

I can't wait to use something like this when the new planets come out, but right now the Mun will have to do.

Lunokhod rover transit vehicle detaching from ascent stage shown here is the braking to surface, shrouds ejected and my 4 ton rover is clearly visible with its comms dish, camera head with two axis of motion, rcs tanks, and the two RTG's+battery on the back. descent to lunar surface, sample tool is visible on bottom front in all of her glory.. meeting with the transit stage

I tend to name my ships after Russian spacecraft Zond, Lunokhod, Zvezda, Liyner, Sibir, Sputnik, Almaz, Salyut, Mir, Venera

lowest point I have ever gotten on the Mun was something around -22,000

should've added mechjeb

during my mission that involved sending an orbiter to the Mun, I had a payload fairings malfunction so naturally, I thought I could just fly through them (don't get me wrong, this actually works sometimes) but nooooo, once I gunned my throttle I pulled the whole ascent stage with me as if I was a chariot horse so the ship can't handle the stress anymore so it decides to explode into its individual pieces, creating a debris ring around Kerbin.

The entire population of kerbin(which seems to live underground) is pouring ALL of their money into a space program. I am pretty sure they must be atheists

are you using the large decouplers? I don't know if this is the problem, but I heard that those large decouplers tend to glitch out and cause seemingly random destruction of your vessel

the nova punch pack has a SRB that is seemingly perfect for this challenge, it's tiny yet functional I guess in this sort of challenge the math aspect would become very useful, because with liquid engines you can at least adjust thrust or turn of the engine completely, with SRBs if you want to stick the landing you have to take into account variables such as thrust, weight, velocity, gravity of Mun, altitude from Mun

a very basic challenge the name comes from an allied project during WWII to drop light vehicles from planes using solid rocket boosters to bring it safely to the ground so the challenge is to land a vehicle on the mun with a minimum weight of ~3-5 ton, using ONLY solid rocket boosters to land, NO LIQUID ENGINES on the descent stage Good luck! will post pics of personal attempts after I get back from work.

I found out after looking at LordStimpy\'s youtube channel after looking at one video, I instantly bought the game
