300000 kilometer? The Kerbin Sphere of influence is 80000 kilometers (KM), and you expect us to do it? You must be out of your mind.

Welcome to Solar System Challenge! Well, this is my first challenge posted in, so please join. Post to this thread to join. Prologue: In a solar system, far, far away...(Or close) There are 8 planets, many moons, and astroids. (In KSP 0.17, there are 5 planets and 8 moons.) The space exploration begins when Wernher Von Kerman launches his Jupiter rockets to orbit (Kerbal US's Vanguard project is just hot air....), and Jebediah Kerman becomes the first kerbal in space and orbit Kerbin, so the Kerbals decided to explore and prey them to be always safe. However... ...this is not to be. Rule for this challenge: 1.You starts with $16000. (You have $6000 loaned and you originally have $10000) You can loan, deposit, withdraw from existed money, and return money. See Bank Rules. 2.MechJeb uses are legal, but every module costs $50. 3.Space shuttles are allowed (TiberDyne Industries has the greatest Shuttle Booster System, get it early!), but every part costs $50. 4.SSTO Spaceplanes are okay. The cart addons are allowed, and they are the only items free. 5.A round takes 7 days, or a week. (Except Round 001.) 6.You earns $200 per day. You will earn more as you get better. See Rank Table. 7.Build rockets or spaceplanes to launch in space. 8.You don't lose points after a promotion. 9.Any parts are allowed. No technology needed. 10.You need to post pictures or videos to prove you did it. You can post attachments if you need to. 11.You have to post to this thread to get entries. I'll anounce finalists on Sunday, September 29, 2012. 12.Read everything. (I am talking to you, Mr_Brain.) Rank Table: (Rank with at least 1 TBA is not avaliable to upgrade to next rank. Don't forget what rank you are. Highest rank: Astronaut Candidate) [table=width: 500, class: grid, align: center] [tr] [td]Rank name[/td] [td]Salary per Day[/td] [td]Points need to be promoted[/td] [td]Missions and contracts need to be completed[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Rookie[/td] [td]$200[/td] [td]5[/td] [td]Jebediah Kerman Begins[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Beginner[/td] [td]$250[/td] [td]10[/td] [td]Recycle the Junks[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Test Pilot[/td] [td]$300[/td] [td]20[/td] [td]NSN's, SN's, and DSN's[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Astronaut Candidate[/td] [td]$400[/td] [td]35[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Astronaut[/td] [td]$600[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Veteran[/td] [td]$800[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Specialist[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]Captain[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [td]TBA[/td] [/tr] [/table] Missions and Contracts: 1.Jebediah Kerman Begins Story: As Jeb becomes an astronaut candidate, he work so hard, but Kerbal US is missing people to perform a spaceflight. So Jeb become the first crew to prepare to space. Can he do it? Objective: Let Jeb become first kerbalnaut in space, orbiting Earth, and perform EVA. (Jeb don't have to be alone) Reward: $20000 and 5 points. Remark: This mission remained exist forever as a scenario, and this mission is qualification scenario. Complete it, and others are unlocked. If you fail, you are disqualified. 2.NSN's, SN's and DSN's Story: As more mission are handled by KSC, KSC need some backup station for it. Objective: Build 4 space network stations. Reward: $50000 and 5 points. Remark: This mission remained exist forever as a scenario, and in this scenario, everything is free except MechJeb and ODRA. 3.Recycle the Scraps Story: As more part are used, and more parts are dumped, into a mission, the Jebediah Kerman's Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spaceship Parts Co. became overloaded due to the fact that Jeb and his employees can handle less trash than the trash KSC generate. So they decide to recycle the trash. Can they do it? Objective: 1. Build a recycling center. It has to have atleast 4 sections called recycling center, recycled store, recycling factory, and recycled hanger. 2.Jeb and other 5 kerbalnauts have to be in or near the recycling center. Reward: $50000 and 10 points Remarks: This contract remained exist forever as a scenario, and in this scenario, everything is free except MechJeb and ODRA. Bonus: 1.First flight: $1000 2.First full orbit: $2000 3.First Suscessful Landing:$3000 4.Suscessful Mission:$8000 5.Suscess Failure: $4000 6.First plane: $4000 7.First spaceplane: $6000 (A plane that reached 70+ km is considered a spaceplane) 8.First manned spaceflight: $3000 Costs: (Look at the accounts, that indicates whether your saved or wallet money is taken for something and whether what will act like debt.) 1.Mission: $100 per mission (Taken from wallet account) 2.Fuel: $1.00 per Litre *The fuel price is subject to change every round.* (Taken from wallet account) 3.Space Center Rent: $1000 per month (4 rounds are considered a month, but round 001 is considered a month) (Taken from saved account) 4.Dead kerbal: $20000 (Entered to debt) Bank Rules: 1.You can loan, pay debt, withdraw how much you have, and deposit to a bank. The loan increases by 10% every month, and the saved money increases by 10% every month. 2.The bank can have $20000000, with $200000 in the bank. The bank will have more and will increase capacity. 3.You can have total of $200000 loans , $500000 of saved money, and $2000000 of wallet money. 4.Currently the financial condition is neutral, so the bank can handle $20000. Good Luck! Remember to post to this thread to join, and have fun. DEADLINE:October 22, 2012

Can 0.18 have docking feature, Crew-Task feature, and abort sequence for Flight Operation, all the feature to Space Center (You can push back, but no later than version 0.24), most of the feature of the Physics/Dynamics, most of the Senery/Graphic (Planets, moons, and Astroids are priority) (No later than 0.28), and... that's it. But Docking, Crew-task feature, reentry heat, abort sequense feature, mission control room, observatory room, and astronaut complex are the priority that have to come no later than KSP v0.20.

I perfer both. Why do you think it is ridiculous? Possibly without Orbiter, there could be no KSP. But without KSP, there's no way to build spacecraft. Both are simulators, but they need each other. Compare the feature. That concludes that I perfer both.

Eh... Save your ranting! I do sort of terrible, too. But if you don't want to die, use ordinary Delta Glider, or --- what you said.

Remember: Less is more.

Ha ha ha ... Always burn at periagee! (Burn at the right time) It works for me (Except I overshot the TLI parameter and ended up at the opposite direction of what the target station goes). Also keep in mind that align planes at or near the equator (Could be Earth's or Moon's, doesn't matter). And.... Don't burn too much. Sometimes, less is more.

Take off on Venus is hard --- unless you are using Delta Glider Orbiter had it in factory setting (Delta Glider IV don't work unless you enable anything that said chicken mode:P.) WARNING: Delta Glider IV ISN'T designed FOR CHEATING!!! SO USE IT WISELY!!!:mad: Also you use a Delta Glider and TransX MFD because I once configure a course to Jupiter (I never finish the path because I underestimated the the time it takes to burn and the time to burn). Shuttle-A works too, space shuttles aren't. (Space Shuttles are designed for Low Earth Orbit, or LEO, missions, while Delta Gliders and Shuttle-A's are designed for LEO missions and interplanetary and moon missions). (Delta Glider IV, Arrow Freighter, and UMMU's are part of Delta Glider IV Addons, UGCO Addons, and UMMU Addons, all by Dansteph.) Also keep in mind that use ordinary Delta Glider for Venus Missions, and suggest every time mission to Venus, make it a flyby mission:).
