Waited patiently for the forums to get back. But, while it waas down. I hadtested my Kerbal Mass Driver out on Kerbin. Found out it could propel a Kerbal almost 3 km up. Then Tested it out on the Mün. Due to the direction it was facing. I had to waste the poor Kerbals RCS Jet pack to get a stable orbit around the Mün I wanted. Don't remeber the orbit altitued right now. Then tested an improved version on Minmus: Needless to say. Again. I still need to work on how to angle the launcher batter. Good news is. I Don't Have to worry about using the Jetpack to get a stable orbit. Bad news. It is enough to make the Kerbal aquire a Solar orbit. Yeah. Enough force to leave Kerbin SOI. Then Tried to land on Duna. First try almost was able to do iit on a power landing alone. Still broke. Second attempt. I found out I had the chutes to low which caused the main sail to face downwards with no chance to correct it. Now I have fixed that issue I hope. Will see when I feel like playing KSP again.

Outside of landing planes and such. The hardest for me right now is stop thinking about the game. And all the things I want to try out.

Found out that while I could play at 215 parts sort of alright. But, this 400+ one just kills it even more: Such a shame to. Was looking forwards to having Jeb try it out. Edit: Tossed Jeb from the main saile engine. Those things sure can toss a kerbal high up into the air:

Look around in Third Person View.

Agreed. Mods updates can keep you busy for a long time. Some of the planets will drive you insane. Just planning on getting there and off.

Eve landing and returning with a 3 man capsule and 5 tons/units of dead weight for when the Science bits of 0.22 come out. I know they might be lighter. Just have a ball park figure so I know I have enough spare fuel. Still need to doa return from it with a probe. Broke down and got Engineer Redit thingy. So I can have a better feel of the DeltaVs I have.

Did a test run to see if this could get off Eve, already know I need more chutes just to make sure I have an even softer landing: Found out how Engineer Redux works. Needless to say I re-did the game from an quick save that I had backed up. Did not feel like starting a colony on Eve. Either way. Back to the drawing board. Need more boosters or better boosters to lift that type of CoM and about 5 tons(?) of excess weight. Did Try aerospikes. Just that they overheat faster then the ones I have on in the picture and it has been a pain to try to turn them off with one button, annoying as heck since when selecting one engine it selects a few others that are not supposed to be selected in addition to what was suppose to be selected.

Yeah. Most likely will have to get a mod that has that. Made and succefully landed this SSTO on Kerbin. Found out. I should make sure that my nose is pointing dead center skywards. Just so all the gears can support the 7.4 m/s landing. Going to use this as a test bed for the new science parts. If I'm able to. Regardless will be making multi-staged rockets as well for the new science parts. Figured the science parts might be between 0.5 to 1.5 for the small one and 1.125 to 3 in mass for the largest one shown in the 0.22 demo vid.

Well. One can always over design. It is not pointless comepletly. I figure the science bay, the one shown at 22 seconds in the demo for .22 could be around 1.125 tons do to its size being the same as the CoM shown and a guess from the fuel tanks bellow its weight. But, I'm planning on going with 2 tons to be better safe then sorry. The one science part shown at around 1:00 in could weigh around 0.75 tons by the looks it is around the same size as the Stratus-V Cylindrified Momopropellent Tank. But, Planning on going with 1.5 tons. Again better safe then sorry. Better over kill as one can always use it for other missions.

Something like that with either the budget thrown in or seprate: None = Unlimited Lax = x per year with a xy amount where the goverment funds stop coming till you spend it. Medium = 0.5x per year with a 0.5xy amount where goverment the funds stop coming till you spend it. Harsh = 0.1x per year with a 0.1xy amount where goverment the funds stop coming till you spend it. Unattainable = x starting funds, make it count Other way could be. How deep in debt one can go before the goverment or what ever stops bailing you out and carts you off to prison...

Landed this and its cusion and 2 others on stand by on Gilly: Found out that even though chutes on the side do work as shown in picture below. That they have a problem of dropping the engines off.

Create a new game and start over using pre-tested designs and make the new parts become a standard feature on all craft. First will be the 1000 probes/rovers that will hit every planet and Mün out there, even Kerbin. Before sending out manned Kerbal crafts.

There should have been a maybe. It all depends on what it adds. But, would bee willing to send $5 on it. But, prefur not to spend a dime if possable.

Got this SSTO pure rocket craft into oribit yestarday: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1100291843003651963/C1867D860FDF97A9C28850C4DF462BB88959400A/ Nice little orbit it has achieved: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1100291843003678354/4039EDEB388C6B37C6E6F3B1032EC79EBAFEBF57/ And this is what happens when I do water landings: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/1100291843003697501/514AB8D5B1BAE2F377C25D930C12B5C80DDE77E8/ I was wondering if I had all my parachutes along one side would that help? Going to try that anyways. Maybe it will work.

Yeah. On my last level for the normal trading cards before trying for the foils. Only have Recruit and Wernher von Kerman and need the other 6. I'm accepting donations.

Here is one of those happy little accidents with an intrecept with Minmus: This is the resualt of the landing tempt: http://cloud-4.steampowered.com/ugc/1099165290087476869/3DD1C88B3F3062BF31D2C11FF3B76CA556CB887C/ As you can see. Nothing broke off and even had enough fuel to return to Kerbin. Should have done some litho braking. That would have saved some fuel for a better orbit around Kerbin for pick up. Jeb is so happy as usual. They where all smiling before. Bad time to take the picture: http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1099165290087513910/0210AE10D113B4637E3689D842677EF92CE9894E/

Yeah. Had that happen on one of my Mün trips to many updates back. I'm even planning on starting a colony there too. Plan on calling it, "Disneyland" and already called the arch "Walt Disney."

A combination of running out of fuel to not putting on the parking braking fast enough.

Cheaper then Drugs. =^.^= Best Drug Around.

First Mün land and return on the demo game. Certainly more of a challange since you have such limited parts. Second would be Docking first time around Minmüs do to it having no atmosphere so I can make smallest circles with the slowest orbital speeds possable that was close by. Also knowing I have more or less mastard the art of docking less then 50 ton ships together. Third would be my rescueing of 3 stardaned Kerbals (one of which was in a shipin orbit) on Duna and having to drive a rover that ,while it worked was not the best design for it, drove 220 km about to the crash sight then an extra 60 km to the rescue ship. Still need to work on my pin point landings. Only on Moho have I had 2 more or less land where I wanted them to. Boh where from polar orbits that Iwas lucky in getting.

Got this little probe to land Near Moho's south pole sink hole in one piece. Unlike its north pole counter part which is missing all 4 landing gears and engine and needs to keep SAS active all the time to avoid sliding down the hill it is on.

When ever I feel like there is a need to do so. Mainly for places like Moho or Eeloo. Those hard to plan for places or when I'm trying something new.

Took a few days off of playing KSP as well as weeks off this forum. Played a bit space hulk while thinking of what to do next. Already have a list of things I could do. Just still putting off on doung them. Roasted some marshmellows today as I get ready to fire up KSP.

The only thing I could say is. Post in Space Craft Exchange if you have not done so yet. And ask if anyone is intrested in it as is as well as a lower part count one that you would be willing to work on.
