    I Challenge you! to challenge me!

    in KSP1 Challenges & Mission ideas

    Posted

    Do a Kerbin to Laythe transfer with as short transfer time as possible and record the amount of delta v spent. Then do a Kerbin to Laythe transfer for as little delta V as possible. Only stock parts and no Alt- F12 unlimited fuel and such. For the quick transfer you may dock with as many refueling vessels as you wish.

    Might as well start off with a double challenge. With one part for piloting skills. And the other to see how fast a ship you can create.

    The Double Mission Challenge (Now with reduced repetition!)

    Is launching a big ship into LKO and then seperating a smaller lander. Then taking only the smaller lander over to the target bodie to land on it. And then docking back to the big ship for a landing and a new takeof before doing the same again legal ? I see that there is nothing against it in the rules. But would you allow it ?

    It allso looks like you forgot some digits in your score calculations somewhere. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%282.5*%282-1%29^2*100%29%2B%28%282.797%2F1110.166%29*50000%29 says your score is 375.9721519124167016464204452307132446859298519320534046259748...

    Laythe Capitalism!

    Can we use Kerbal alarm clock ? Or navyfish docking alignment indicator ? And other mods that don't change the gameplay or adds parts.

    Im considering a 3 ship solution. 1 SSTO that sends up the passengers and refuels the interplanetary stage of the mission. The interplanetary stage has enough comfy living quarters and fuel to refuel the laythe SSTO. The Interplanetary stage never lands. And the Laythe SSTO stays around laythe. Hoping to avoid any command seats since I think kerbals should have burned up on reentry in those.

    SSTO from runway: no wings, horizontal thrusters only

    Garn please read the challenge subition guidelines.

    If you are not allowed wings or controll surfaces it's not a plane. Then it's just a SSTO. And it makes no sence what so ever for a SSTO rocket to start vertically. It's inefficient in every way possible.

    Unless you launch it with a launch system that is not part of the rocket and has a ramp at the end to convert a lot of the forward motion into upwards motion.

    And since lifting bodies doesn't work in stock KSP and We are not allwed to use torque wheels to change it's altitude either there is no way left to get the thing to point upwards except to manually do some throttle balancing with tweakables.

    The challenge is allso written in such a messy way, witch makes it very hard to understand what you are asking for.

    All of this combined pretty much makes this challenge just horribly bad.

    Kerbal Dynamics: Operation Kessler

    The score for this challenge is determined by how many parts you computer can handle per launch. Pretty much all you need to do is to attach a radial attachment point with a decoupler and a stayputnik on it on the top of a good few fuel tanks. Then launch them while you computer fries over 10 launches. Not much of a challenge for the player here. And there are a lot of benchmark software out there that is easier to run and will give a lot more accurate results.

    Duna colonization mission + satellite building from 1 trip ||| The Voltron program.

    Figured the challenge of this was to colonize and build a Duna base by leaving Kerbin with 1 single ship, containing crew and vessels required to do so.

    Should I maybe specify this better?

    I can't see any challenge in that post. Only a craft demonstration. So looks like it is in the wrong forum. If you intended to make a challenge you better read the challenge submision guidelines and actually make a challenge.

    The Eve SSTO challenge [Balanced mods allowed]

    Here are a kerbin -> Eve -> Orbit SSTO. Curtesy of the orion pulse rocket. Witch I guess is a balance mod for this challenge.

    ksp47.jpgksp48.jpgksp49.jpg

    The cargo capacity of this thing is probably something like a couple of 100 ton of eve.

    So I guess that is a score of:

    300 Kerbals

    200 * 200 = 40 000 cargo

    200 vtol on both planets.

    400 no far

    2000 for starting from the liquid.

    SO a total of:

    42900 points.

    I have 159 nukes left. From spending 29 days from kerbin to eve and back into orbit of eve.

    Started with 239 nukes on eve surface and spent 80 getting into orbit.

    42900 * (239/80) = 128163,75 In score. I think that has to be a new personal best.

    Getting to the serious side of this challenge: Please take a look trough the list of challenges before you post something. The EVE SSTO challenge has been done a lot of times. And every single time a lot of people have said that it's just not possible without using something as stupid as blowing up nuclear devices to get you off a planet. Please read the challenge submition guide before you post your next one.

    Real men dock using solid fuel boosters: Dock two space craft using solid fuel only

    Scoring system: Stages correspond to points. If you have 100 stages, you get 100 points (25 points on Easy mode and 400 points on Hard mode)

    Score multipliers:

    Easy mode: Everything is on Kerbin and you can use Hack Gravity, skipping the rendezvous in space. Final is 600% of your stage count (if you have 100 stages, you get 400 points)

    Medium mode: Going into orbit using liquid fuel, redezvous and docking using solid fuel. Stage count=Score

    Hard mode: Launch stage, rendezvous and docking must be performed only using solid fuel. Final score is 15% of your stage count (100 stages-->25 points).

    I think your math needs some double checking. After all if 600% of 100 is 400 then you have redefined how % works. Your scoring system is allso directly oposite with the score multipliers.

    Mun speed!!!!

    I Got to the mun so fast that the result sped back in time and ended up in black and white. Now I have to wait untill the proper year so that I don't mess up kerbalkind history by going back and advancing technology.

    Managed to end up 1 September 1902 in earth time. So I guess that means that Jeb has about 4 centuries of waiting to do. Poor poor Jeb.

    mSSTO (micro SSTO) Challenge

    This thing has a starter weight of 2249kg. It has 34 parts. It easily gets into orbit with more then enough fuel to get a stable orbit. And return. It is a tail balancing plane, using sas untill it can lift off. Then it can head straight up to 20km before it builds up orbital speeds. It does perfor loops and rolls. And if you throtle all the way up to get max speed at low altitudes. It spins out of controll because the drag from the air intakes gets too much for the controll surfaces. So max stable airspeed is about 200m/s under 10km altitude. The plane takes of with 28 oxidizer.
