us much as I would appreciate to be compared to the one and only I feel it does not live up Whackjob standards
-
100's of people all in the same Kerbal universe via multi-player servers screaming at each other through ingame voice coms cause some muppet thought it be a great idea to tow the space station everyone is docket to into a 60km kerbin orbit
-
Yep, I kept forgetting this as well, I have a sticky note on my monitor now that sais "ELECTRICAL POWER"
-
Added the second part to my station "THE CUBE" today, crew module for more Kerbals Next to go up is the Solar system in case my RTG's break
-
I found out what happens when you click on a part that connects a 150 part ship and quadruplicate it.......... then try to launch it lots of fun

Mission Control Report Assignment Details: October 2013: Lojik Corp was tasked to build a new launcher capable of orbital corrections, capable of loading a min of 6ton payload with docking capabilities all wrapped in one neat package, this launcher was then to be used to attach the crew module to THE CUBE space station Lojik Corp Space Division Assignment Report: Main Issues overcome: Creating a suitable craft to transport the parts needed without hindering orbital capabilities or docking capabilities Issues to fix: Landing struts required for launcher, add fuel lines from center tank, possibly make tank larger Report: Launch stages worked well, came apart as designed and got my orbital craft into an Ap of 75km before breakaway, let me use my on board fuel for orbital circulation and rendezvous which was nice, even had enough to burn to re-entry and had half of my mono left.

What is the largest space station you have ever built?
Lojik replied to LostElement's topic in KSP1 Discussion
That is very nice work, all you need now is a scale size Normandy next to it -
Please for the love of the all mighty Kerbal God video this, would be hilarious, has to have the "seat" in it as well so we can watch Jeb's face as he rockets up this.
-
keep going and you won't need to launch it at all, just add 1000 extend-able ladders and climb to a 100km orbit
-
I am due to fly overseas in 9 days by request of our company to train 3 new staff for our overseas operational team managing over 150 million dollars of clients cargo per annum and all I can think about is KSP. That's how much I love this program typing this at work

Would love to see a picture you can upload it to somewhere like imgur.com and then get the direct link for it, then use the following tags in your post -
I found that if my CoL is not inline with my CoM I would drift with SAS on and rotate if the CoL is very far out, very minor differences with CoL and CoM did not really have a noticeable effect and would keep my heading in a acceptable range, which sounds right, if the system is designed to be a simple "heading hold" style control then the CoL will have an effect to its control. My install is windows 7 64bit via steam from version 0.21. all my earlier small rockets have been straight and true as long as I have a stable launch platform, I found out last night that unlined rockets (usually ones carrying payloads) drifted allot and I either needed lots of control surfaces to keep it corrected or heavy manual control. I'm new to game though so not sure if this is how its mean't to work

I built a lifter last night at 1am for the first section of my Space station (bad idea) was unable to achieve orbit with its payload, If you use Flight Engineer Redux be aware that the Delta V shown on the right hand side of each stage is the total of the Delta V including that stage and not each stages Delta V, I made this mistake and was not able to achieve orbit, you can see my total for the lift stage only reaches 3189 delta v and including my orbit stage it is only 4128
-
My first station around Kerbin has been parked at 100km but when the auxiliary thruster module is added I may push this out further

Mission Control Report Assignment Details: Due to the ever increasing pressure for local Kerbal governments, Lojik Corporation was tasked to get part 1 of the Global Space Hub into orbit before the end of the day, Warnings were made to the governmental bodies advising that rushing such an event would increase the risk of failures and larger costs, even with such warnings the budget was wiped and unlimited funds were granted to ensure the mission succeeded. Lojik Corp Space Division Assignment Report: Main Issues overcome: getting a much larger payload in space than before, ensuring structural integrity of the launch craft while in transit from ground to orbit Mission overall was a success but with 4 aborted launches due to the rocket being either unstable in flight or insufficient power to obtain a proper orbit, Initial payload of 16 tons (command module, batt bay, living quarters and initial solar panels) was reduced to 7 tons (command module and batt bay only) to ensure a successful mission. Higher payloads have been sanctioned as a no go until the development division can design an adequate launching system to lift greater than 7 tons Pictures of the Mission: Mission Extension and Clean up Tasks: Zero debris was left in space so no clean up was required, launch vehicle did not have previsions for reusable return and as such was chalked up to budget losses Report End Regards Jack.C Director Lojik Corporation

Mission Control Report Assignment Details: October 2013: LCCS1's empty fuel tanks were an issue that needed to be fixed in case of any path corrections that needed to be made down the track, Lojik Corporation has tasked the space division to launch a refueling probe into space to replenish those empty tanks. Permission was granted to sent a manned test vehicle in space to give the Kerbal crew an understanding of the RCS systems and how they should be operated, such experience would then be passed onto the probe control team back on Kerbin soil Lojik Corp Space Division Assignment Report: Mission Status: SUCCESS Main Issues overcome: learning not to overcompensate with RCS thrusters and to reduce to minimal control when under 10km Issues to fix: launch vehicle although designed to recover the first two stages failed with its recovering mechanisms and needs to be redesigned. Report: Launch stage was part success part failure, each stage was designed to return to Kerbin soil in tact as a reusable program but recovery systems were insufficient and a redesign is required. Orbital stage was good, apon orbit leveling I was around 300km from the probe LCCS1 and was on a good trajectory to meet within 45km Rendezvous stage was a little stressful as I had to increse my orbit size as well as not overshoot the target in the process, some slow breathing and time to think helped. Docking stage was nerving at first but after rotating my craft and view to have all control working as per perceived view was a big help, I need to get that docking camera mod though for future docking. Pictures of the Mission: Mission Extension and Clean up Tasks: LCCS1 entended its Ap by about 5km due to RCS use while docked, this will need to be corrected Report End Regards Jack.C Director Lojik Corporation

Hardest thing for me in KSP: not over compensating on EVERYTHING when building a new vehicle
-
My one is in my sig, might make a few more depending on what "Division" of the corporation used the Flag
-
Its a work of art Whackjob, any Kerbal would be proud to pilot such a beautiful ship
-
Thanks Scotius, I have put a sticky note on my monitor that sais "ELECTRICAL POWER" lol, as you can see i forgot again to add solar panels to the test vehicle on the second mission. I have launched a probe today with the parts needed for LCCS1, currently in a relative orbit to LCCS1 around Kerbin and catching the satellite up, have to pop out for lunch so hopefully it will be close when I get back Jack

Mission Control Report Assignment Details: October 2013: Attempt to rendezvous with the low fuel Satellite LCCS1 and learn about docking controls Lojik Corp Space Division Assignment Report: Mission Status: SUCCESS; Attempts: 2; Failed: 1; Succeeded: 1 Main Issues overcome: Learning to control the craft in orientation with regards to a targeted object. Report: First Attempt was unsuccessful, incorrect launch time put the crew in an unrealistic position to catch the probe, mission aborted, vehicle returned to Kerbin safely. Second attempt was allot better, used the mistakes from the first and adapted to get a nice 1km interaction with the probe, although when I was close it took a good hour real time to learn the best way to get in position and move towards the target, finally though I think I have it down pat.

Good Morning Scotius, thank you for the advice, what is a RTG? I have spoken to the design team and they have advised that the Kerbal on duty had a few too many drinks when designing the LCCS1 Satellite and as such overdid it with almost everything. LCCS2 had a revision to the sat arrays (pictures further in the gallery above) and was reduced to 3 standard extending panels, even those were too much, but better to be safe than sorry on our first official venture out, each sat also contains two battery bays to store charge. Over time I hope that I can refine the LCCS probes to be more efficient.

Mission Control Report Assignment Details: September 2013: Lojik Corporation director and controller Mr Jack.C has tasked the Lojik Corp Space division in launching two unmanned communication satellite's dubbed LCCS1 and LCCS2 into a stable 100km orbit +/-1km around Kerbin, LCCS1 is to be launched into a level plane orbit, and LCCS2 is to be launched in a 45deg orbit, extra credit will be awarded if the satellites are of an opposing position in relation to there orbital paths Each LCCS must contain at least: 1 x Communotron 88-88 for broad wave general transmissions 3 x Communotron 16's for high freq data streams Reaction Control Thrusters for orbital maneuvers Liquid fuel engines for inclination and orbital adjustments Sufficient Solar Panels for self sufficient operation Lojik Corp Space Division Assignment Report: Mission Status: SUCCESS; Attempts: 3; Failed: 1; Succeeded: 2 Main Issues overcome: Creating a suitable craft to transport the satellites undamaged into orbit; Understand mechanics for satellite operation and maneuvers Issues to fix: Large amount of debris in orbit around Kerbin including one fully functional satellite with no power (reverted) Report: First launch stage 1 and 2 were a success, everything looked good, orbital path was slightly off but nothing the satellite could not adjust for at a later stage, final stage was initiated and satellite was moved into a stable position, unaware that electrical energy was draining fast due to SRS being enabled the satellite lost power before the solar panels could be extended, no backup fixed panels were in place, Satellite dubbed LCCS0 is now floating in space with no power; Side note: flight was reverted by mistake and is no longer in space Second launch went better, procedures for satellite now included the extension of solar panels before orbital maneuvers took place ensuring battery systems had sufficient power, additional battery racks added, orbital path for satellite was way off (83km and 20deg off plane), after obtaining the most efficient maneuver nodes the satellite is now in a stable orbit at 100km and level plane but as a result has exhausted all of its liquid and the majority of its RCS fuel Third launch for LCCS2 was almost perfect, Satellite was launched into a stable 100km orbit at 45deg incline, position is almost directly opposite LCCS1 and is below the +/-1km threshold, LCCS2 also contains a higher part count with a lower overall weight.
