Kerbal Parkour Program [+video] - VAB dash

[HafCoJoe]

You all know that with the 1.0 release kerbals where given the ability to climb objects and dismount ladders, but you may not have realized yet that is that this effectively makes all kerbals parkour masters.

Introducing...

Kerbal Parkour Program

Brought to you by HafCo.

The KSC administration doesn't want Jeb to get his hands on the new Volta fighter, so they parked it on the roof of the VAB. Good thing he knows parkour.

Kerbal Parkour Program - VAB fighter dash

Your goal is to scale the VAB via the platforms and ladders given, and activate the rocket engine on the mid-level roof. The timer runs from the moment you reload the quicksave "Course Set" (via Alt+F9) to the moment you activate the "Thud" engine on the mid-level roof (by entering the seat and activating stage). To record your entry take a screenshot of the moment you activate the engine and post it. - Entry time will be based off universal game time.

Note that you are allowed to use quicksaves, as well as phys-warp 4. All times will be based off of the "Course Set" quicksave so phys-warp and additional quick saves will not decrease total time (They might even have a negative impact).

The Leaderboard: (note that entry time is based on game time. A run takes ~5 minutes)

Does this make me the Kerbal parkour master? Anyone willing to challenge the title? Step right up!

[LavaCake]

Challenge accepted (I will probably bomb this, but oh well!)

I will edit this and post my time and some screenshots later!

(NOTE: I will probably have this done tommorrow (6/10/15) I responded to this late at night and I don't have time to do it right now!)

Yeah... I did it... but I have no idea what time I got

I think I got pretty close to your time:

(BTW, it showed a different time then what it was at the challenge start, I will compare it to the F3 menu at start!)

Okay, so this is the F3 menu AS SOON AS I LOADED THE QUICKSAVE:

Yeah, APPARENTLY it took over an hour ingame time, so I guess I take 2nd place?

[HafCoJoe]

Hello and thankyou! It did take a while to place those haha. Sadly if you speed up and slow down time enough the platforms slowly meander off their ledges so I wasn't able to add more. I'm putting you down as around 1:00:00. I hope it was fun!

[LavaCake]

Okay, thanks! Yeah, it was fun and I really liked the idea of Kerbals jumping around like Ezio on a bad day. That and I also absolutely loved the clear effort you put into the course, the only problem I had was a ladder was glitching so that it retracted into the wall.

Yeah that happens... it sadly can't really be helped though. Thanks for the kind words! I also made a Reddit post of this and I'm curious as to if it would make a nice weekly challenge!
