Boy how time flies when your having fun. I stated that Jeb and the crew have been on Duna for like 600 days, I noticed tonite that moving between the broken lander's changes the time for the mission. Since I'm not quite good enough to put an 'unmanned' orbiter into orbit around Duna without it being captured by Ike. I'm thinking of moving this over to the Mission thread. I want to say thanks for the idea's, I'm trying them out on Kerbin before I commit to Duna. Thanks again for the warm welcome.

I don't mind sending it to you, I'll just ask which plugin's or mods your using....just in case I used a part from a mod. I'm pretty sure I haven't used anything but stock though.

Thanks I'll give it a try and let you know. I think Jeb and the crew have been on Duna for something like 600 days now. I tried another rescue last nite and had similar results, at least they seem happy that they can move from one craft to another and change the scenery a bit. LOL

I'm an Eve fan as well. Love the colors and the terrain is interesting to me. I think it's going to be my next mission.

Welcome and congrats on making it there and back.

Nice shoots.

Welcome to the forums. I couldn't get five up into orbit, but I did manage to get three for refueling. Of course they had to be refueled once I got them there. Which wasn't too difficult, I've learned bigger isn't always better. I'm setting up two different refueling stations, one orbiting Minmus which is basically a space station and another which is going to orbit Duna once I get it there. The one which will orbit Duna is going to be a no frills refueling station, just the basics to get the job done.

This won't work either...although it would be nice if it did. Once I undock the two, the lander becomes useless. I could try a rendezvous in orbit around Kerbin and dock the two there then undock and land the lander once I get to Duna.

Thanks for the welcoming. It didn't take me long to figure out my mistake with the rescue craft. It goes back to the design and a lesson I learned once before when attempting a similar rescue on Minmus. Hard lesson learned and one I hope I don't forget again which is 'be careful which piece you place first'. Don't know what I was thinking when I did it either, the rescue craft had a Probododyne attached to the docking plate. Which was the first piece I placed and then built the rescue craft around that. I un-docked from it after I landed, meaning that I basically un-docked from the ship and crashed it. This happened because I was trying so many different designs for the rescue craft, this one looked right, 'eureka I finally got it' went off in my head and in the excitement I launched without thinking it totally through.

New here, so I figured I'd introduce myself. Not new to KSP but new to the forum...lol Anyway, after about 242 hours of game play I made the decision to go to Duna. Kouston we have a problem, the trip there was riddled with problems, the landing broke the lander and now the rescue vehicle isn't responding....sigh God I Love This Game!!!!! Seriously this is got to be one of the best games I've played in a very long time.
