Deddly Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Nobody has ever tried it before, and there has never been a challenge for it, so here it is, people, the big one!Build a stock SSTO for Eve.No cheats, no mods, no parts clipping, no bugs exploitation.POINTS SYSTEMMake a SSTO that works on Eve: 500 pointsFor every unit of payload: 1 pointBONUSMake it able to take off from Kerbin, fly to Eve, land at sea level, reach orbit and land back at Kerbin: Extra 10 pointsSUPER BONUSApril fool: 6000 points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gigaboom2 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 SUPER BONUSApril fool: 6000 pointsSo the whole challenge is a joke? Or do we need to get it done today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam_Jones Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 I believe the idea is that making an SSTO that can actually get to Eve without refueling is impossible within the confines of the current game. Especially landing and taking off from the surface.If anyone manages to do it, though, I'll be mighty impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is ion powered, it can fly around on the surface too. It is just getting of the giant planet that makes it so difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deddly Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Yes, the entire challenge was of course a joke. I thought the first line would give it away, since there have been so many threads about this, all of them shot down pretty quickly. But I guess it wasn't very funny. Sorry about that.For the record, as of .90, nobody has been able to make an Eve SSTO for Stock KSP without using exploits and it is considered impossible. Nobody has even managed to get it to work with infiniglide and ions. I suggest we don't discuss it and let this thread die, because this has been discussed at length in many older threads.

Rath Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Actually someone made an eve ssto with a ladderdrive but I think it might be possible with massless mono prop engines loads and loads of mono prop tanks and a supercomputer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Findthepin1 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 if we could float the rocket on balloons to the ~1atm level or higher it could ascend like a normal ssto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
