Overfloater

Meanwhile in career mode... After many jumping and hopping around Mun & Minmus I've developed lots of new tech... BUT it wasn't enough: I still need turbo jets and ram intakes, to make a Laythe lander for a Jool-5 mission. And I need little cubic struts so I can have all my clippy & airhoggy space planes on career :^3 I now conducted a mission to Dres. Strangely, aerobraking didn't work, so I wasted some of my return fuel for a Dres-capture: That's Jebediah in there - he's got lots of room in that 4-man canister, and he likes his solitude :-) He's been doing all the missions so far. The ship has finished the ejection burn, but then there was the ~500 m/s midway/inclination I only managed 50~100 m/s I actually already DID have jumbo's and mainsails available, I just wanted to see how well skippers can handle... and the rocket looks more aesthetic that way ;o) Anyhoof, I immediately started a rescue mission - there's a lot of valuable science that needs to be retrieved!!! ...Oh and a pilot. I designed a ship with a ludicrous amount of delta-v: (if you're wondering how did the capsule de-couple from the 4-man-can, well - there's a medium sized de-coupler between them, concealed by attaching poth parts to the wrong ends of the decoupler. I call it, the "Kraken-Decoupler") The valuable research has been retrieved!! Oh and the stranded pilot. Now I have all I need! turbo-jets, ram intakes, and little cubic struts! hurray.

You're gonna laugh... I was trying to come up with something as cool as THIS, and like this: (It's a Cayman) And to have a little bit of HMMWV in it too... Please don't laugh too hard... {:^3

Hello! I have never really put any effort into making rovers... until now xD Here's my Astro-Jeep: On Mun and Minmus: Download Astro-Jeep

Pics or it didn't happen. Video or it was fabricated! x^D ---- I'm having quite a busy weekend: I sent an Astro-Jeep to the Mun, and another one to the Minmus. It was SUPER FUN. Craft file!

Hello, Ziv! I have a few questions: -Is it allowed to assemble my ship on Munar orbit before departure, so I can start from there? -Am I allowed to use my part-clippy (no cheat codes were entered of course...)space-plane to deliver the ship modules into orbit??? it's my fav' standard transportation... xD -Am I allowed to use my other part-clippy plane to retrieve the crew capsule from LKO after it returns from the mission?

I took a video of my Apollo :^3 Downloadski Hey spaceBrezel, I see you're not a fan of tiny nozzles on the C.M., I think now I'm starting to regret not putting a Skipper (or maybe a poodle) on it as well... xD

Hey, Moar Boosters, you also flying to Venus?

Damn, Necrobones, that's some clever engineering -amazing funky disco lights -RCS packs on asteroids -Rocket powered bulldozer... x^D (how well does it work by the way?) --- By now I have optimized my Munar rocket, I think it has enough delta-v to hop all over the entire Minmus. I called it Luna:

I've converted an Astroliner VI into a LKO heavy lifter. Here's its 1st test flight, putting 54 tons to a 150-km orbit:

My big sin is never telling how many of my Duna landing attempts were failed x^D Oh yeah and that!!! lol that's usually the 1st mission of every save I start, always bill bob and jeb. Guess it's their fate, to be interstellar travelers.

Today was a regular day in my interplanetary transport business: I also started career mode, and naturally 1st thing to do was to build a medieval SSTO: Next - To the Mun!!!

Totally achievable. Have you ever seen THESE?

I'm mostly concerned of aesthetics, so I vote for the Apollo-ish capsule. It's works both for my rockets and planes. I wish they made better plane cockpits though... The 2 small ones look very inappropriate for this game, and the big one is just super ugly :^(

I absolutely agree!!! I've been really wanting a little display, that shows just the apoapsis, so I can do an entire accent on normal view. Especially when making a video, I don't want to make a video of a boring map view, dang it! Right now I'm just doing guess work when accending - "let's see, 2300+m/s probably means apoapsis is above atmo...". ridiculous! xD And neither do I want some HUGE MechJeb(or something) window in all of its glory blocking half the screen... xD Please, SQUAD, implement this!!! All we need is a tiny rectangle showing the Ap. (or both Ap & Pe...) You mean a mini map? I wouldn't mind having that as well!

ANY kind of new planet/moon will work for me! x^D I have absolutely no objection to Gas Planet 2... ...Hmm... What if it would be an Oxygen-Giant??? xD I'd love that even more.

Backspace??? Same here xD I do know about Shift+tab, however I don't like throttling up while changing focus, I even came up with a trick: use time warp x5 while Shift+tabbing, so that my craft doesn't decide to take a hike :^/ Man... I thought I know this game. "Backspace"??? wow, thanks! just thought me something new. this is about as good as the Alt+f5/f9 discovery!

There's one tip I could give you about connecting wing parts: To connect wing parts properly, the part you're connecting to must be STRAIGHT. It must not be in any sort of diagonal/sloped position, otherwise the wing will be in a weird angle or in the air. 1st connect all the wings you need, then change angles to whatever you like. Hope this helps a bit :^]

Banned for posting too much in Forum Games! }:^[

Mission: "Planet Beach" Mobile research facility. Crew: Doodley, Kerlock, Chad, Ludlorf, and 4 more I can't remember... xD They aren't colonists, as every few years there's a crew replacement trip - on a big comfortable interplanetary bi-plane shuttle, with enough room for everybody (That's Laythe by the way...)

Thank goodness no! Been there done that. l:^) The user below me will not write us a short humorous story about the kerbal space race.

Banned for not specifying comment editing reason properly.

Absolutely! Unless I'm recording it on video, no music during that time Space Disco, Space Rock, New Wave, 70's prog, video game OST's... All sorts of space/sci-fi themed music... xD Oh YES!!! including THAT! }:^] Metal Slug has such brilliant music xD

Zekes, that's nice! I also have an urge to do that, but no time! & Beeburgers, GOOD ONE... xD I got another one, One morning when I was waking up, I was trying to remember whether I'm in a stable orbit, to know it's safe enough for me to EVA from my bed and go take a wee... xD

You know you play too much KSP when you look at the morning/evening sky, see Venus, and exclaim "There's Minmus!!!"

Hey Jouni good stuff :^] ... I flew by the space center. It did not end well...
