Hey there! So I am making a space station in Joolian orbit and while transporting one of the parts, I noticed that (during an aerocapture maneuver) I could get a very high speed close to Jools atmosphere! SO I decided to make a challenge. Hehehee.... Rules: 1) You must travel, inside Jools sphere of influence at least at 15000m/s (does not have to be an orbit). 2) Stock parts ONLY. 3) This is obvious, but don't modify the save file or any crafty wizardry like that. 3) You must provide at least one screenshot of the speed (zoomed in) and at least one screenshot of the ship/probe and Jool. It is advised to take one screenshot and then simply copy and crop it to get the speed screenshot. Score: Top score is determined by speed reached in m/s, and will be updated on this thread every 24 hours or so, with the high-scorers username! Tips: - It is advised not to go into the atmosphere before taking the screenshot as this will slow you down, but still taking the screenshot as close as you can to Jool for maximum speed. - Using a Joolian moon and/or lots of trust can increase your speed (doing a bit of mathematics can help also). __________________________________________________ EXAMPLE ENTRY: Here is a probe I got to 15344.9m/s, as it started to enter Jools atmosphere: __________________________________________________ Good luck everyone!

Simple question, but just wondering what everyone else's were: whats your favourite moon in KSP? Mine is Gilly, purely because of its terrain and low gravity (makes for lots of EVA fun ):

Can anyone here help me!? :S I've installed the ISA mapsat mod... following all the instructions etc, and when I attach the GPS or the satellite parts to my ships, they dont do anything when in orbit! - i cant click on them and there is no symbol on the gui that is different to what it normally is! If someone could let me know if I need to do anything to the files or I'm blind or something? Thanks very much in advance! PS: The only other mod ive installed is the Kethane mod v0.4.3 and im using the latest version of KSP.

Both replies helped me out a load so thanks so much, thats done it

[NOW FIXED ] Hey guys! I'm making a supermassive space station in orbit around Jool and half way through construction, I realised that it was orbiting the wrong way round LOL and it needs something like 8000 delta-V which I simply dont have :/ Is there a way of editing its save file in the persistant.sfs file in order to change the direction of its orbit around Jool? The reason why I want to do this is so I dont have to crash into each moon if I want to land on it. Heres the codey bit in the persistant.sfs for the station, titled The Mothership: ___________________________________________________________________________ } VESSEL { pid = 92b193c3eafb431c90fcf9ee83f82aaf name = The Mothership type = Station sit = ORBITING landed = False landedAt = splashed = False met = 10718028.849578 lct = 273061617.815552 root = 0 lat = 0.0338597619017921 lon = -213.126843479184 alt = 28844186.7310978 hgt = 2.884428E+07 nrm = -0.3884714,-0.004852633,-0.9214483 rot = 0.0005714877,0.9994445,-0.003261168,-0.03316337 CoM = 0.03075233,-9.427973,-0.0200528 stg = 1 prst = False eva = False ref = 125304191 cPch = -0.00199916 cHdg = 4.718001 cMod = 0 ORBIT { SMA = 34886747.7796206 ECC = 0.0013832610089727 INC = 179.962907812783 LPE = 94.0023330735932 LAN = 129.184040392965 MNA = 5.79303817670648 EPH = 283779646.66513 REF = 8 OBJ = 0 } _____________________________________________________________________________ Thanks guys!

Hey guys, loving KSP! Anyway... so I'm going on a rescue mission to resuce a stranded capsule in a jet of mine. My question is: how do I switch back to the rocket whilst in EVA? I've looked on other posts, but they say press the [ and ] button or the [ or ] button! What is this and which button on the keyboard is this? Thanks in advance.
