I would have no issue whatsoever paying for an expansion if thats what it takes.

I wonder if doing this would require some massive update?

No infinite fuel. If I can't make it to my destination then I either revert or go back to a previous save or just call it a loss and leave it lost in space. No engine or fuel tank mods on rockets or planes. I recently added a base building mod that has some fuel and battery parts but only plan on using them for bases. I allow myself to use KIS and KAS to facilitate the use of hoses and pipes for refueling at bases.

Yessiree. Done that before.

@Wild Cobra very nice. I apologize about the crazy post with all of the quote and spoiler boxes. I'm on my Kindle and can't figure out how to remove them.

What's holding your 4 main rockets together? Only struts? Hard to tell from the photos. How did you get them symmetrical? Thanks! I learn new ways to do stuff every day. I'm almost certainly doing stuff the hard way in some cases.

Solved my heat issue. Tested by drilling into the runway. Then flight tested in case I want to send to laythe. Quickly realized I'm gonna need MOAR BOOSTERS! Also, more everything else to get that much weight to Laythe. Everything went really good until stage separation and for some reason 1 wing decided to break off. I also forgot to add the capability to separate the planes from the transfer stage. Next up will be reentry testing. It doesn't reenter well attached to a fuel tank. Ha!

Drill plane drill testing. Definitely has a heat and efficiency issue. Full ore tanks, processing worked but needs additional battery for night time. Next up. Flight test with full ore tanks. Ok files well enough. Turned on processor to see if fuel would keep up with usage. It did. Just not enough electricity. Landing attempt with full ore tanks. Missed the runway but successfully did not explode. Need to hot key reverse thrust too because breaking took way to long if I want this thing to survive out in the wild.

Behold! The drill plane prototype. Flying ok, let's try to land.

Boat McBoatface to Laythe. BMBF is actually my Laythe plane refueler cleverly disguised as a jet boat. Stockvisualenhancements And Scatterer Scatterer is mostly responsible for the water.

Additional boat pics. Had her up to 48 m/s with no issues.

Boat McBoatface to Laythe. BMBF is actually my Laythe plane refueler cleverly disguised as a jet boat. Cue the Miami Vice soundtrack here... Finally made it. Now all I need is to refill all those tanks and find a flatter spot to land my planes.

Continued with the Laythe mission. Long burn. Insertion into polar orbit with some nice eclipse effects happening. Undocked miner, only had to quicksand and reload twice and came close enough to where I needed to be. Unfortunately I hit quicksave 1 to many times and it's where I am gonna be no matter what. Once landed the lander preceded to slide down the hill at .8 m/s for at least 20 minutes real world time (seriously I got up, made coffee, and drank it) while I waited for everything to tip over or glitch out and explode. Didn't happen. I would too. Great job Kommander!

Ha! Your right, I've done it before too. I would add the word "sometimes" to your statement though.

And although I have about 12 or so mods running I am not using any extra engine, aero, or fuel tank mods. Only stock. Most of my mods now are visual as well as KIS, KAS, Kerbal Engineer, ScanSat, Chatter, planetary base mod(which I haven't used yet), and Kerbal alarm clock.

Had to relaunch my heavy lifter several times and do some tweaking. Love it when the workhorse decides to stop working correctly after many successful missions. Started with a persistent booster stage separation issue. So then I decided to switch gears and ended up building my first ever big plane. When I did manage to keep it on the runway it flew pretty good. Landing was a whole nother thing.

Sent my miner into orbit to await Jool transfer. Then sent Boaty McBoatface as into orbit as well.

Took 2 aircraft to Laythe. Flew around a bit and picked a spot for further missions to land and set up a base. Still have one aircraft in polar orbit attached to the Scansat.

Remembered that I don't like career mode. Tried it again after update. I guess it just ain't for me, all that keeping up with money and repetitious busy work and stuff, I just want to blow stuff up, err I mean fly successful missions. Also, remembered that I do like Science and Sandbox mode.Haven't played in awhile. Waited on update and tried to cure KSP burnout due to over 800 hours in game. HA!

Very nice and inspiring. I see some real estate development in my future!!

1st landings are always knuckle biters. Aww the memories. Sorry for the loss but his death will not be wasted. You shall learn from this and be better for it.

Correct. It is stock.

Nice!!!

The truth is out there.
