The Aeromax Magellan Challenge!

[Mikecraft]

Hello fellow Kerbals!

This Challenge was inspired by the circumnavigation challenges by fengist, it has you try and circumnavigate Kerbin By only water!

Here are the Rules:

1. Seacraft parts allowed (Like Fengists Ship down there)

2. The Only other Mods allowed are Mechjeb and Karbonite. (For the Drills and stuff...) (And yes, i know they are in the vanilla game, but drills can be fun to use as propellers!)(Just like Fengist did on Eve with the poor Walkabout...) (link here for the story...http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/105372-Eve-A-ground-based-circumnavigation-13-m-s?highlight=kerbin+circumnavigation )

3.The only time you are allowed on land is your PLANNED Route over the large continental land wall and refueling.

4. A minimum of 3 Kerbals must be on board (They do get awful Lonely out there...)

5. This thing can be rocket powered, but no getting airborne! (You will be disqualified if you fly for more than 1000 meters besides launching)

6. Put Flags down for the Legs of your Adventure! (Plus quick saves, you never know if the kraken is feeling feisty...)

7. Screen shots! I need them to qualify you for this challenge!(Videos are good too...)

8. Bonus points for going through the great Eastern Crater! (The big Crater in the ocean/coast, You must plant a flag on the middle Island to get this bonus.)

9. Last, but not least, is that your craft must be refilled with fuel by fuel drops only! (This will make it more interesting...) (The fuel drop can be dropped from space or atmosphere, whatever suits you!)

I will be working on a medal for this challenge soon, (Fengist will have a medal for me as soon as some qualifying participants are listed...)

There are 3 category's in this challenge:

Magellan Expedition

Meet all the requirements, nothing else, sort of a "You Barely passed!" sort of thing.

Magellan Voyage

Meet the Requirements, and visit the Crater/Visited the KSC Islands, planting a flag on each of them.

Magellan Adventure

Meet the Requirements, do both things from the voyage category, and plant a flag on as many Islands/rivers as you can! (Give me the Number of Rivers/Islands Flagged, i will see if you qualify...)

Alright then, lets do some adventuring!

Thanks Mike, I'm glad I inspired you but ummmm one problem. Water doesn't encircle Kerbin. There's a huge land mass east of KSC with no water path around it.

Can confirm, already attempted it for Elcano challenge.

[Fengist]

That and sadly, my current test vessel would be rather rapidly disqualified tho it's probably more in the spirit of the challenge than anything stock...

Fengist, i have changed the rules to allow watercraft mods such as yours. I can't wait to see your progress with that thing! (BTW, I hope you can shoot for the Magellan Adventure Category... I bet you could do it in a breeze!)(I mean, your men survived Eves Oceans/gravity/broken parts/ a complete destruction of a vehicle, I am pretty sure this will be a breeze to them!)
