  1. Does anyone have any single launch plans? If not I'll launch up another Kethane probe for Minmus and also Kerbin.
  2. Mono, I suggest adding a science+kethane scanning add on to the station.
  3. Here's the new link: persistent I've completed one full scann around so you guys should be able to see where the large patches are.
  4. Probe is scanning at a 101 km orbit. I'll upload after its close to done. One more thing, how do you hack the Kethane scanner to scan all?
  5. I'm going to quickly launch up a kethane probe for the Mun. I'll be back in like 30 minutes K so I just copy my save and paste the Persistent download over the current one right?
  6. I shall update the doc! Ok it looks like free launches are up! I suggest: a kethane probe for the Mun and Minmus A polar/crater/desert base for kerbin OH BTW this is the usb that I have 2 of black Friday 2 years ago. Its REALLY CHEAP and REALLY BIG: SanDisk Cruzer
  7. Yeah you can launch for me if you'd like. Just post the persistent here so I can update the google doc. And then it looks like Weegee is up .
  8. xD My computer isn't good enough for that . And yeah Mr. Harkins walks around alot
  9. Yep. Its all yours. I can't do any launching at school (which is where I am now) and let alone with this netbook
  10. xD So it looks like the save is fine. I won't have time to launch mine today or tomorrow (or later) but if any of you wants to you can launch it. I think I asked Deathsoul to launch my portion up. Edit: What time is the best time to post stuff here and get a reply from you all?
  11. Sirine or Deathsoul are either of you able you launch your modules/confirm whether the save is broken or not?
  12. @ Sirine The first mission is almost done. I think my launch will be sent by Deathsoul and I have no clue who is currently working. It looks like no one is currently launching so whoever jumps on it first will launch. @ everyone I hope to get this finished up by this Thursday. This project has been running for like 2+ weeks now due to many different problems, but it's about time for it to close I think. The station I'm betting is looking really cool now! @ Xetalim + everyone I had that problem before. I'm guessing that that save is busted. You may need to uninstall KSP and re install completely. Also if the save is broken, we may need to use Monopropellant's hyperedited save of the station.
  13. Check the google doc for more updates. @ Deathsoul - I was sending up the expansion truss.
  14. Avera9e Aerospace Avera9eJoe's spacecraft exchange Hello all! I've had the good time to watch all of your creations and I hope you guys like my spin on things . Note that all action groups are in the ships description First... Ptarmigan complete science SSTO Easy to fly, easy to land, and good looking to the eyes. This model is quite the miracle in the eyes of the Kerbals flying it xD I loved making this ship and I hope you love flying it. This craft is extremely good at what is is designed for. It can easily get to orbit and holds strong with few tweaks at physics warp 4. The burning effect looks pretty sick too Ptarmigan SSTO Up next... Kestrel This is easily the most maneuverable of all planes I've built. Have fun flying this thing around the VAB or launching missiles into the tower! Kestrel Kestrel - with external fuel tank Kestrel Fighter Up next... Pelican LKO science lab The largest of my collection so far, the Pelican can fairly easily get to a stable low kerbin orbit delivering ALL science so far in KSP. This plane is actually easy to fly so long as you don't try any 90 degree rotations in upper atmosphere (this isn't quite an SSTO because I added 2 external tanks to detach after empty). Pelican LKO science lab Up next... Hummingbird This plane has the STRANGEST feeling when flying IVA! The plane takes-off without lifting off at all and when it flies, the nose is tilted down about 20 degrees making it seem like your constantly falling. Psychedelic. 2 variants because the original Hummingbird was very tough to land. Mk_2 is much easier to land, though not as sleek. Hummingbird Hummingbird mk_2 Up next... Fighter plane mk_2 bomber If you haven't noticed already I'm a fan of adding tails to my airplanes (they help a TON with control surfaces at the back). This was the first plane I built that has that feature, and it shows it just as sleek as all the rest. The Fighter plane mk_2 bomber has such a crazy name because I took my time editing it and making it its best. This variant has 12 missiles and one line of carpet bombs (RCS drops them). I ended up using this plane in a and I hope you have as much fun as I did if you download.Fighter plane mk_2 bomber Last... X-24 Lifting body 3 This is the oldest ship I've built in this post. It's not only ugly (with a capital "ug"), but it's hard to land as well! Luckily that's what its meant for ! I designed this loosely on the real X-24 lifting body aircraft, bud it doesn't really give the real thing justice xD. This ship is sluggish, but isn't hard to fly. Have fun landing with this thing if you get it! X-24 Lifting Body 3 More to come! Happy flying! See you all later. -Avera9eJoe
  15. The doc hasn't been changed for 2 days so you couldn't have uploaded it in the last bit :/. I'd get a dropbox account. They take like 30 seconds and make any type of uploading easy for everyone.
  16. The tale of 2 dauntless green men and the rescue of a friend. Intro thing So when I first played KSP, I had only the demo back in .13 when the only other celestial body besides Kerbin was the Mun. I like every KSP player wanted to land and return! ( ) Also like a few players though, I was discouraged by buying the full game and stopped playing until in the recent past when I couldn't stand waiting no more! Below is the documentary of my true first STEPS on the Mun in .21 and the misadventures involved with bringing the ever faithful Enory and Gerbles back home safe . I hope you enjoy: How it all started... Whenever I start a new KSP save I always look for the recruits high in bravery and low in idiocy, but also I look for the coolest names. Enory was a great pick! Good name, high smarts, great for marketing... Gerbles was the smartest one in the list and had a good name too. SO I decided to send the two of 'em to the Mun... Enory and Gerbles where going to be launched in a 3 engine rocket and stay on the surface for a few days walking around and exploring with a buggy on the bottom of the craft. 3,2,1, Liftoff! Just like a charm the rocket takes off perfectly. The craft then easily gets to LKO and then to transfer, and then to Munar orbit quite fine. Feet on the ground I swapped Enory into the hitchhiker module and left Gerbles to "pilot" down to the surface. It turns out Enory is almost as smiley as Jeb! Maybe he's a relative or something I don't know . I though he'd have fun taking the first steps. The Lander sets carefully down on the Mun and I detach the buggy from the module. I get Enory to take the first steps and then Gerbles places a flag . The mission is a success! For now... Where'd the lander go?!? Meanwhile back at KSC, I start experimenting with Mechjeb to try and learn how to later transfer planets. In installing the mod, I sort of accidentally delete all the default control pods :I. I later realize this when the lander Gerbles and Enory were in is deleted. But if it was plain deleted, that would have been fine! Gerbles who was in the lander, materialized at base a few days later. Enory who was still sitting in the buggy on the Mun however, did not. Gerbles to the rescue! Sort of... I leave Enory on the mun guarding the flag for a few days while Gerbles prepares a brand spanking new base a bit better than the last to try a rescue mission. I planned to take the new lander to the Armstrong memorial where Gerbles could plant a flag, take off again, and then wait for Enory to circumnavigate and meet him. Gerbles goes in for a landing by the Armstrong crater, but as I descend, I notice that the fuel level on the corner and the fuel level above the engine are off. I managed to place the fuel lines backwards. Going in for landing... dropping... descending... and BOOM. Out of fuel :I 20 meters up, I start dropping. Crash I hit the ground at about 20 meters per second! I bounce once! Ha still good! I bounce twice... nonono! stop tipping stahp! The lander tips onto its side. WELP it looks like this craft won't be rescuing anyone. Now I have 2 Kerbals stranded on opposite sides of the Mun. I start getting Enory to trek back to Gerbles to see if I can use only 1 craft to rescue them both. After a frustrating hour of me flipping the buggy over, plopping Enory back in the seat, and clambering out of yet ANOTHER crater, I realized that wasn't going to happen. Meanwhile I was theorizing how to save them both with only one mission. I ended up making a tiny 2 capsule lander that would rescue them. Gerbles was coming up with his own plans though... The plan "the buggy when flipped upside down, made a perfect ramp." I realized that I might still be able to get Gerbles off the ground. The lander I built for Gerbles and the Armstrong base had a buggy equipped, and a detachable stage for the return trip. I detached the buggy used its flip proof landing gear to try and catapult the tipped lander right side up. This was of no use though so I went back to the drawing board. Eureka! I built the buggy with enough RCS on board to actually fly. I also found that the buggy when flipped upside down, made a perfect ramp. I detached the return stage and used the buggy to flip the base without the final stage on top. I then rolled the final stage (crushing some solar panels) out of the way facing the best direction for orbit. I flipped the buggy over, and using RCS positioned it about 5 meters in front of the return stage. Gerbles was getting a bit anxious... I switch over to Enory and send him into orbit after a hectic few extra days roaming the surface of the Mun while I start thinking of the best way to send Gerbles back. Blast off! The sun rises over the blank gray hills of the mun and Gerbles begins final preparation for his life or death task. I disable the engine and throttle all the way to max. I haven't tried taking off from the Mun yet with a nuclear engine so I really have no clue whether it even has enough thrust to take off ! I countdown in my head while "taps" plays in the background... 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Blast off! The rocket lurches forwards and connects with the rover. They both grind against the ground for a few meters and then the rover gives. The rocket points skyward and takes to the sky! Huzzah! Gerbles stares out of his window and watches the rover bounce across the ground a few hundred meters below. After the crazy takeoff Gerbles gets back to KSC quite easily and lives with his pal Enory happily for the rest of their life... Or not... I actually end up sending the 2 of 'em with a new Kerman named Scott (who I like to think of as the rich guy who decided to go for kicks) to a Jool station. The plan also of which is practically scratched and twisted into a whole new story... The end... For now... Thanks for reading! I'll post a link to Gerble and Enory's adventure with Jool if you guys like it enough PS all these ships are really ugly because I had just started playing :I See you all later!
  17. I'd agree with that. Although I don't like the idea of some random person possibly going on the doc and editing things, That's not a problem though due to backups! Regardless, What is your progress baberbot?
  18. Awesome! All that pudding colored ground... Yeah your totally right I just think it'd make more sense if the PL order was chronological (if that's a relatively good word). *edit: who is really currently launching? Deathsoul?
  19. Baberbot ask Deathsoul when you can launch. I have some suggestions on PL order/project plans. Mun station, Minmus station, Mun base, then Minmus base, then probably on Duna or Ike.
  20. I had finals last week. Just make sure that you keep tabs with us . Everyone was waiting for a reply and didn't get one for like 5 days. Its all cool with me tho. Xetalim can you write a quick sentence under your name in the google doc? ----- Has anyone heard from baberbot?
