  1. Well, as mentioned in my original post. The point wasn't that I was trying to beat a "challenge from 2011". I agree there seems to have been a lot that's changed since then and it's not comparing apples to apples. What I did do is step up to a challenge that my friend threw at me (probably scammed from this post on a YouTube video) and recorded it. I was proud of what I did after weeks of us going back and forth on distances and posted the resulting video on YouTube. Then I ran across this challenge while scouring the forum and decided to post the video (purely to draw more hits on the YouTube post to be honest). The challenge hasn't changed, just the environment it's held in, so I don't see the need to post it as a new challenge as though I've somehow come up with a new idea. That would be as equally pitiful as you make me already sound. I would however like to see what others can do in comparison so I can see if this is as good of a distance as I feel it is for a stock ship. Instead of trolling forum posters, why not shut me up with a greater distance? I do this purely for the fun of it, and welcome the challenge! Oh, and I'll look for the 30 second topic. I don't see it being possible to beat my 3 minute distance in 30 seconds unless gravity is turned off or mods are on. Can they beat my distance I hit in 30 seconds, YES. But this ship wasn't designed for that challenge. It was designed and tuned for 3 minutes.
  2. Honestly, the only mod installed here is MechJeb which wasn't even included on this ship (as you can see from the missing toolbar on the right). I do have a pretty awesome PC I'm running the game on (highest resolution and graphics settings), so it's possible that's why you see a difference in how the sun and planet look in the captured video. I'm not sure how it looks on your system, but since I started playing back in July, that's how it's always looked on my system. So, true to the heart of the original challenge it's done with stock parts and no applicable mods without cheats.
  3. It's been a while since anyone has posted on this challenge, but a friend of mine challenged me at work and my video response is linked below. I realized after I made the video that others have done this too. My video has the farthest documented distance I've seen, so I dare you guys to beat it! It is doable since I've done better (but without the video recording). Good luck! 651,999 m with stock parts and no mods. [/CENTER]
