This has been repurposed from the original playthrough. https://spacedock.info/mod/3434/Linbol System Rebirth DISCLAIMER: I do not recommend you download this mod for Career as is is torturously difficult with low science multipliers and only biome support for Revan. We're going here. One of the most prized bodies in LSR is Vera, a habitable world with mostly oceans that harbors a ring system. (Perbi also has the same properties, but since it's quite large and cold it's mostly inhospitable for Kerbals). Orbiting even closer to the homeworld Revan than Eve is to Kerbin, transfers are few and far between but come at a low delta-v. Still, with the super-earth homeworld and 2.5x scale, 16200m/s delta-v for a return trip. 2 space agencies (names revealed later) agreed to participate in a race to land a Kerbal there and return. It's in sandbox mode but with deliberate progression as well as crew morale and life support all manually factored in (i could send a craft with one Kerbal in an MK1 pod if I wanted but for the sake of progression the interplanetary transfers will take place on space stations) Mod release page Chapter 0: The details In this chapter I will explain the details. LSR scales the system up 2.7x (1/4 real life) and sends you to a super-earth called Revan. It is 2.16x heavier than Kerbin and has a G-force 1.4x that of Kerbin, and an atmosphere of 2.9atm, with the space center being very low lying. There are 15 biomes for science though many are rare, and low orbit velocity exceeds 5km/s. The innermost planet receives more light than Moho does at Perihelion by a factor of 10 while the outermost one orbits the star every 500-ish years. The main Linbol star binary has a mass of1.5 sun masses and a luminosity of 1.8, resulting in delta-v similar to JNSQ. Revan orbits rather far away from the stars to neutralise greenhouse effect, and many of the planets are interesting in their own right or have moons that are such. With all those grand challenges ahead, which of the two space agencies make it to Vera and back with kerbals first? Details Month system: Revan uses a 505-day year with 12 months and one 'new year' day. Month Start End New Year 1 1 January 2 43 February 44 85 March 86 127 April 128 169 May 170 211 June 212 253 July 254 295 August 296 337 September 338 379 October 380 421 November 422 463 December 464 505 Basically every month is 42 days except new year's day which is new year's day !!!!!! Mission elapsed time still in usual format. 2 Agencies The Kerbal States The United Union very original names! Milestones: Unmanned U1 - Achieve a suborbital flight. [1] U2 - Achieve orbit. [2] U3/4 - Land on 101000 or 102000 [1 each] U5 - Land on canyon [2] U6 - Flyby Vera. [2] U7 - Land on vera. [3] Manned M1 - Achieve a suborbital flight. [1] M2 - Achieve orbit. [3] M3/4 - Land on 101000 or 102000 [2 each] M5 - Land on canyon [4] M6 - Flyby Vera. [2] M7 - Land on Vera and Return. [WIN] Total score: 26 points before M7. (Flag must be planted, return trip to get points) Delta-V requirements: Orbit Revan: 7500m/s Revan Escape: 2120m/s Transfer to vera: 70m/s (Aerocapture+Landing 0 m/s) Ascent: 4800m/s Vera Escape: 1590m/s Transfer to Revan: 110m/s (Aerocapture+Landing 0 m/s) Total: 16190m/s (19000m/s for margin of error and correction).
