  1. Quick heads up: I have some time to work on project, so expect updates in following days! I also have got twitchTV account, so some live stream may be coming up as I solve my soundcard problems
  2. I´m surprised that Eve is bigger than Kerbin.
  3. It depends... I like to use them for my mission on Laythe, since I can land them with precission where I want and I use them as a mean of evacuation from space station in LKO...
  4. There is hard and there is hard Muna-Duna series presents a challenge because they go for minimum amount of fuel possible and fairly low weight considering the part count. As I wrote you in PM - I would like to see a Soviet style mission to Joolian system, that would be challenge! Either some micro SSTO for Laythe or something for those low gravity worlds
  5. Minmus is kinda light green color
  6. Project Name: Minmus Explorer 1 Estimated Cost: No idea Target: Minmus Goal: Launch a manned mission to Minmus. Spaceship carrying orbiter probes, lander probas and simple one man lander with low gravity rover to surface of Minmus. Why should we spend billions of Kerbits and possibly lose expensive equipment or even lives to do this?: Because it will be awesome!
  7. Dunebug is actually very easy to fly, almost not challenging If someone wants challenge Duna LK-1 is way to go
  8. it is not that hard, Mün lander and returt craft composes of these parts in order from top to botom: - Mk16 Parachute - Command Pod Mk1 - TR-18A Stack Decoupler - ADVANCED SAS - FL-T400 Fuel Tank - LV-909 Liquid Fuel Engine And of course some landing legs. If you can get this setup orbiting Mün in some reasonable height it will get you landed and back home to Kerbin
  9. Well, my favorite landers of all times are still Muna LK-2 and Duna LK-1 landers
  10. Only way how to do Laythe with style is an SSTO shuttle Some designs are so compact, that they don´t weight much more than equal lander.
  11. Docking ports are usually useful I´ll start delegating official missions by wednesday next week.
  12. Well, if you wold be able to fly the whole thing as an official mission then why not
  13. it fits just fine, but that SSTO with over 1200 parts melts my PC so bad
  14. hour or so 18 hours for Mün and back mission
  15. Sorry for lack of my activity last days, but I have a lot of school to do, but in middle of next week I´ll bring some updating All work has not stop, I have some new crafts etc...
  16. I finally cracked it! After launch I got to 71km orbit round Kerbin, did my Duna transfer burn. I did 2 course corrections before Duna capture. After I got captured I adjusted my orbit to be equatorial and did my aerocapture and one round of aerobrakeing and established 50km circular orbit - with 20units of liquid fuel still left in my nuclear stage. So I did my Duna landing burn with rest of the nuclear stage... I´ve landed using only 5 units of fuel in lander itself. Ascent back to orbit was pretty easy and lander was left with like 10 units of liquid fuel after docking. Now I have just to get the CM home, I kinda have hard time believing, tha I can do it with just over a 100 units of liquid fuel.
  17. Time to update Luna LK lander and Duna LK-1 (I finaly got Duna LK-1 to land, ascent and rendezvous back with CM - now Im waiting for return window) with new rovers and space race can begin again!
  18. Very interesting, I´ll maybe get few pieces for Project BABYLON usage
  19. From now on I want all my rovers to be landed in boxes!
  20. Well, we maybe forgott we were all new to the game once. But there are still differences. Someone who was always interested in rockets, airplanes and stuff will progress in the game much faster than someone who did not. For example me: - I was always interested in aerospace industry - I was never good at maths - I did pay attention in science classes so I have basic knowledge of newtonian psysics, dV and stuff - I was playing orbiter for years (with no succes at all ) So my progress in game was as such: Hour zero: I´ve got the game Hour +18: I´ve succesfully landed and returned from the Mün Hour +36: I´ve landed on duna Hour +48: I´ve landed on Eve But docking took me moths to master So someone who doesn´t have a clue about how actuall rockets and planes work will have really hard time learning how to build and fly this stuff. New players are great for devs, because it means money. For us, experienced players here on forum well, they might get a little anoying when they will be asking what is dV for one milion times all over again and so on, but some of them will get handle on the game and they will became good players and great members of our community. IMPORTANT EDIT: How I found Kerbal Space program? You wouldn´t guess - I was watching some minecraft video and it sent me to Kurtjmacs channel and I´ve stumbled upon KSP, watched few videos, got to Scott Manleys channel and I was buying it right away! Just when the 18.2 came out.
  21. Mün in my savefile is getting really crowded with flags, I will gladly ad another one with this craft! btw: Still trying to make complete tour with Duna LK-1 I almost had it, but stupid glitch screwed my on my ascent from Duna and I missed CM by far...
  22. Thanks! Not sure if it is a good flag material, but it would make a nice postcard
  23. I would suggest adding sepratrons to help with unpacking of that lander - pulling the spent stage away from it.
