Welcome to the Kerbal Nautical Orientation and Traveler Society (KNOTS)! The kerbal race has been everywhere. Well, almost. Sort of. ——————————— It has come to us that whilst we have traveled between planets, traversed the land and flown in the air, we haven’t really paid attention to the oceans. And very much also the ones on Laythe and Eve. The aim of the game is simple, really. To get a Membership status- Build a boat. It’s that simple. Rules- 1) Your craft must be fully stock. DLCs allowed. 2) Part count must not go over 600 parts. Small overdrafts allowed, eg 620. 3) Have fun. Don’t let it be boring. +kudos if Hard and fast - your craft goes really fast. You’re gonna need a bigger boat- obvious, really. Beautiful!- Looks awesome! To get an explorer status Build a submarine. Same rules as before. Same kudos. Extra kudos if Challenger depth- go to the deepest point on Kerbin. It’s about 1.4 Km deep. Fast diving- Obvious. Dive fast To get an Traveller status Do any of the above, but on another planet with an ocean. Extra rules for Traveller status- 1) MUST include launcher. 2) Doesn’t have to be manned. 3) Don’t cheat. Please +Kudos if Manned Extra rules 1) Submit your craft to kerbalx (suggested) or somewhere. I will review it, and you will get a link to your craft in the lists next to your name. 2) will make one if I feel needs it.

Actually, one is a submarine so that will go below. Anyway, the Irving! A hydrofoil! https://kerbalx.com/Klapaucius/Irving-88-Passenger-Hydrofoil @XLjedi We have the HCS-16 Hurricane, the Pufferfish, and the "Little jet boat inside the helicopter". Great job! Explorer list @Klapaucius Here's the first Submarine of this thread! It flies! https://kerbalx.com/Klapaucius/Rachel-High-speed-submarine @XLjedi Again! A submarine (The UV-14 Barracuda)! It fits inside an MK3 cargo bay! Traveller list @sturmhauke First Traveller of this thread, with the Kerberos SSSTO going to the Jool system! Mission report below. @Robonoise Second traveller!
