  1. @Deltac The lower decoupler, it does work. the top boosters, Idk whats ur problem, It works fine to me. Are you using any other mods?
  2. Have you been having luck with ksp? I havent. So, Itried to send the rover to mars today, in honour of curosity. Unfortenatly, the staging was wrong. I then tried to get to jool all was well, untill i started timewarping to wait for laythe to catch up to me. I missed it twice. Then, the third time flung me out of jool. Then, i tried landing. The surface was like a trampoline, and each time the rover jumped, somthing exploded, untill the entire thing exploded. I was even trying the kosmos pack, but i found I'd always build unstable rockets that just exploded at some time. Atleast the dragon worked... on minimus, atleast. So far, this has demotivated me from going to other planets anymore. I will just stick to small bases on mun/minimus. Maybe ill have some change of luck. Like the jebcorp sphere, It was good, but no kerbals in it. The whole purpose I try to go to planets anymore is to EVA or Rove around. *sigh* Hows your luck?
  3. After the thread got locked, sal suggested a new thread, so here it is! After landing a space plane into the ocean i have found ways of creating a space plane that floats. Use MK1 Structural Tanks as floating devices I want to see who can get a boat to ride the farthest,fastest, and also looks somewhat good. Recommendations: The boat should be back heavy(because with my design the engine pushed it into the water) multiple layers of structural tanks without decouplers between them(they dont like water) So do u think you can make the best?
  4. Excuse me, but how to assemble the VA? I am unable to see how.
  5. Go ahead. Just give credit. Im not that good, but if you can do better, Go for it! Just say that you got the inspiration from this post
  6. Thanks! Now I just need a new storyline. Maybe the mission to rescue them
  7. Thats too bad. I wanted to beam down kerbals like in star trek XD
  8. It was a normal launch for Bill Jeb and Bob. The Musketeer XI was planning a launch to Duna. Mission control began the countdown. "Here we go!" Jeb said as the engines ingnited. Jeb was a bit not himself today. The rocket had not been build by him, and to make matters worse, they were going the farthest he had ever been before. "Boosters seperation in 10 seconds" Mission control said. Bill was at his usual, piloting his ship. He wondered, what will duna be like? Bob was scared as usual, but more scared this time. He had never been this far. If he died, he would be K.I.A Not M.I.A due to the range. "Booster seperation gone, main stage in 30 seconds" Mission control reported. "Hey guys, whats that on the ra-" *KABOOM* "WHAT WAS THAT?" Bob screamed. "It appears that an asteroid hit the lander! its leaking its Nitrous Gas componet out!" Bill yelled. "The thrust is increasing to 458% above maximum!" Jeb screamed Bob fainted "The thrust is going bonkers! We will never make it!" Bill reported hastily "Hang on boys!" Was all Jeb could say. "The Delta V is over Duna encounter! We will never make it!" Bill yelled. Another explosion sounded. The lander had broken free! "Well now, lets use the little bit of thrust we have left to try to get back to kerbin." Jeb said confediently. "Well Jeb, that be great, but only the Fuel remains, no more Nitrous Gas to ignite it however." "Dont we have RCS?" Jeb asked "Yes, but it wouldnt do any good at this point!" Bill said "Contact Mission control. Maybe they have a rendevous ship ready. Dont worry boys, we'll make it, Kouston should have a plrenty good plan by now." Jeb said Bill turned on the communicasions. It was dead. "Um... Jeb?" Bill said "Yes?" Jeb said, wondering what bill had to say "Uhm... I dont know how to say this, but the com is dead. We are a floating duck in space. Not even the regeneration transciver is working. Face it Jeb... If we die, we are gone for good." "What!?" Was all Jeb could say "I guess we will have to break out the food and board games you packed..." Bill replied. Chapter 2: The green Pixeldot 5 months later.... "Hey jeb" Said bob. "Im not in the mood for your last will" Jeb replied. "No, its not that, Its just I spotted on the long range scanner a green dot 4 Pixelmeters wide on the viewscreen" "Kerbin?" Jeb asked, Hoping that this would be it "Negative, it only be half a pixel meter at this length" Bob said "Then the scanners must be messed up" Jeb concluded, and went back to sleep. Bob couldnt stop thinking, what it was. He thought back to his family, the achivemeants, the deaths, and the mun. He wondered if he'd ever see kerbin again.... 1 month later "Jebediah kerman, you better come up here" Bill said. "What? Is there some strange anonmly? Will it get us home? No." Jeb said Impainteantly. "No, jeb, this is more than that" Bob said Jeb mustered up the courage to come up. What he saw shocked him. It was a gas giant, so far out here. It was composed of Nitrous gas, and a large SOI, that had captured them. "Okay, but what use is it to us?" Bob thought to himself. This is no time to be scared he thought. He had to tell him. The plan. "Well you see here, we are at a perfect periapsis for an aerobraking. And because its nitrous gas... And you won that award for best roboticism, that you just HAD to bring along..." Bob started to say. "Wait, we need Nitrous Gas to ignite the engine... and there is a planet, that is like duna... Laythne, you guys called it? You aren't thinking what im thinking... Are you?" Chapter 3: The daring plan "500 KM and closing!" Bill reported "Is the hatch installed jeb?" Bob asked. Bill thought to himself, and he forgot. He had to do it. "No, im going to get to it right away!" Jeb said. "You only got 120 seconds Jeb!" Bill said. "Then I will have to hurry, wont I?" Jeb said Jeb stepped out with the contraption. He could see the damage. It was too big! "Uh guys, its a bit too big for the contraption" Jeb reported. "Then make it fit!" Bill said. Jeb started putting duct tape on. "30 seconds!" the computer reported Jeb had strapped it on, but not very secure. It had to do. He needed to get in, or he would die! "5!" The computer said He rushed back in, and just in time. "Is it ready?" Bill asked. "Not really, but good enough." Jeb said. "Entering atmosphere" The computer reported. "Computer, OPEN THE CONTRAPTION!" Jeb screamed into it. "Nitrous oxide refilling" The computer reported Good, Jeb thought. it was working. "warning: Strain increasing" Crap. Jeb thought. "10% of nitrous gas is filled" The computer reported Jeb needed a plan, and fast. "Bill, watch the strain gage! Bob, help me close it on my mark!" "50%!" "Get ready!" Jeb practically screamed to Bob. "85% and increasing rapidly!" "NOW" Jeb shouted. There was a strain, as it struggled to close... "Harder!" Jeb screamed. "I need another hand Bill!" Together they heaved, and.... It closed! "Phew" Jeb said. "How much fuel do we have now?" Bill asked "Only 30% of maximum!" Bob fainted. "Well jeb, its time for you to do overtime." Chapter 4: Laythe Man, that looks alot like kerbin, Jeb thought. Jeb started to cry. "Are you alright?" Bill asked. Amazed for Jeb crying. "You know, I always have been crazy. Im sorry for always killing you guys... Now, there might not be a regeneration to return to..." "Well, its time to land, You ready for it?" Jeb nodded. it was time. The engine ignited. They slowed down. Conserving as mutch fuel as they possibly could, they decelerated. the craft rumbled as it approached the atmosphere. Jeb prayed for it not to come apart. "Parachute deploying. Looks like we wil-" Jeb started to say. "The parachute ripped off!" Bob said. "Guys, Give me Everything you got to decelrate. full throttle, RCS, EVERYTHING!" Jeb screamed. "WARNING: 50 M/S and Slowly increasing" The computer reported. "Brace for impact everyone!" Jeb said. There was an exeplosion, and everything went black. ------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hey, wake up, sleepy head" Bill said. "Whaaat? We are not dead?" Jeb asked "No," Bill said, leaning over Jebs shoulder. "But the pod was damaged. however, the com Is back up. We managed to repair it with the tools here on Laythe. Yes, We sent a message to mission control. They say they will be here as quick as possible." Bill concluded. "I thought I had died... Me, the legendary Jeb..." Jeb started to cry a bit. "Oh dont worry Jeb," Bill said. "Everyone crys. And, we are alive now." Jeb got up, and to lighten the mood he said "So, anyone up for a game of risk?" Everyone laughed. THE END Authors note: I hope you enjoyed my First story. It might not have been that good, but it was good for an attempt. Thank you for reading.
  9. Actually, its all about getting points. The challenge is NOT to get to all the planets, the challenge is to get the most points. Heck, it dosent need to do anything, the capability is just for bonus points!
  10. On the angara pack, The nuclear engine and another engine when placed in vab or on launchpad, it looks like its activated, even tho its not.
  11. No actually. Also, Im sad EP2 was denied due to being moar than 15 min in length.
  12. It does? Im looking on how to slow down, not to land?
  13. Overall, this is a judging competion. Your goal, make a epic looking spacecraft. Heres how its judged: Number of parts: Have 1000 parts? well that scores you 10 points! (100= 1 point) Look: Especially if you post a picture of what it resembles, you could get 10 points max for making it look good! EIVA: Is the crewman able to go into Eva and walk around the ship? 1 point for the inital, but will be judged on how much area he can cover. Capability: 1 point for kerbin orbital 2 points for mun flyby 3 points for being able to return to kerbin 4 points to be able to get to mun and back (just orbit mun) 5 points for getting to mun AND minmus and back 6 points for LANDING on mun and minimus and back 7 points for getting into interplanetary space and back 8 points for getting to any of the external planets and back 9 points for landing on a planet 10 points for landing on a planet and back BOUNS: 15 points for being able to land on eve and make it back 20 points for being able to land on 2 planets and back 50 points for being able to land on all the planets and get back These have a rule tho, of that you must not use cheaty mods like antimatter, Instant orbit generaters, .config edits, Or Persistance editing. Leaderboard: #1 StrangeyD #2 Von Gobble #3 Bsalis #4 Whatisthis #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 RULES: Only 1: Make the best looking! I dont care how you made it, I just want to know that it looks good. But dont steal other peoples crafts!
  14. Sloth, that looks awsome! Im sure it could easily qualify. Adding you. Also, great work guys!
