  1. The set up works ok. I will still go over if you really jam on the brakes at a high speed. I considered pointing the extra wheels straight out. Might try that on my next version. I put six wheels on the ground with the idea of more wheel on ground means more traction. I doubt it works that way with KSP but don't know for sure. It had a bit to do aesthetics.
  2. Here is my Munar Pathfinder. Its main goal is to scout out suitible locations for my future Mun base. It has some scientific capabilities as well. It can record temp, pressure (not useful on Mun of course), and hosts a mystery goo pack.
  3. I like reading your mission reports. The style is fine and entertaining. Your format helps draw me into reading it. Keep it up.
  4. These are simply awesome! Like the all. But love the guy rocking the pin stripe suit. Thanks for sharing!
  5. I have seen many like this also. Before I attempted my Minmus and Mun landings I look at several how-to vids. All of them used this style. It is simple and functional. And I didn't have fuel lines unlocked yet. I hope to plan out my future landings with more of a Apollo style. Grew up reading about those missions and really would enjoy working out something simular to them. Thanks for great comments. I like the humor of the idea of Kerbins. And Jeb is nuts. LOL Been loving this game since I bought it.
  6. Sorry if this has been addressed before. What is the best way to set up a landing at a location. Say I have site that I have landed at and want to send another lander, or parts for a base. How is the best way to go about this? Is there a trick to setting up the orbit and when to burn to get the landing close to the desired location? I am at the point in the game where I will be wanting to start doing landing of this sort. Would love to hear how you do it. Thanks and Happy Flying.
  7. Mun mission report. Flight command/ mission control...... After the sucessiful Minmus landing, the next step was of course the Mun. The energy and support for continued exploration space is high here on Kerbin. Jeb not wanting to dissapoint his new adoring fans wouldn't hear of a different pilot flying this mission. The truth is that he didn't have any real argument from his fellow Kerinauts. Jeb was the man. To speed up the development to launch time, a variant of our Minmus launch platform was used. There was a concern that this would prove to be a issue. It came close to being one. The KSP marketing department came up with the idea to have some prominate philosopher to read a speech about the drive of the Kerbin spirt during the launch. Unfortunately nothing he said could be heard over Jebs screaming ""Yeehaw!!" Launch and setting orbit went just as planned. Did burn for Kerbin escape. From transfer you can see the huge impact area on Kerbin. ***Flight Command note: Need to plan a mission to center of this formation for study*** Setting up burn for Munar capture. Jeb requested to just wing it. After debate he agree to do burn according to the numbers. Just after touchdown and green light for EVA on Munar surface. Jeb was giggling like a school girl at this point. ***Flight command note: Consider setting up another physiological evaluation for Jeb*** Flag planted on the Mun. Control asked Jeb to make a statement in light of this great accomplishment. His statement was, "Is that a crater over there?" Jeb investigating the crater. Liftoff from Munar surface went with no issuse. Set up transfer back to Kerbin. Hit target and made it to splashdown straight from Munar orbit. Note only had .26 fuel left. No margin for error. Mission was a success. Could have been a disaster. Need to double check Delta-V numbers next time. Transfer from Mun to Kerbin. This mission was a great experience. Science gained greatly improved our understanding of rocketry and power systems. Next mission planned will be a Solar observation probe to be parked in a Solar orbit between Kerbin and Eve. Probe will be desinated Helios 1. (I really like this game. )
  8. I am a very new player to KSP. Started up just a before the roll out of .22. Up till now just done some orbiting and docking. Now with career mode and having some of my tech tree filled I figured it was time to have Jeb take his first steps. Simple mission. Land on Minmus and gather what science that could be had. Put together my first lander and went from there. Only two mods installed are Kerbal Engineer. for the Delta-v numbers and Chatterer. Here is just a few grabs from the mission. Jeb says any landing you can walk away from is a good one!! One of the little oops from testing. The flag is planted! Jeb is enjoying his first steps on a different world. I'm a superhero baby! Transfer back to Kerbin Had a good smooth re-entry and splashdown. Next mission in the works is the Mun.
  9. I am loving this. You have give the characters great life and building the world. Keep it up!
  10. Hello all! Was introduced to KSP by my son about a week ago. I am hooked! So far I have managed to do a good rendezvous and docking. I also got my first probe in orbit around the Mun at 32 km. Really like the detail I can see at that orbit. Now plans are in the works to attempt my first Mun landing. Really enjoying it. Looking forward to following this forum too. Seems like there is a good group of people here.
