[modded] Build a jetpack challenge!

[noahkra]

Hello my fellow kerbonauts!

Today I've invented something amazing! I call it "THE JETPACK".

Okay so now that we've got that intro out of the way here is the challenge:

Rules:

- Mods:

You have to use the

tweakscale

mod to participate in this challenge

Other mods are allowed as long as they don't involve anti-gravity or (unrealistically) extra amounts of fuel

(I'm using the

Quiz tech aerodynamics pack

for the rcs thrusters)

-

Other:

- No cheating(obviously)

- Your jetpack has to contain an

EAS-1 External Command Seat

.

- A kerbal is required to sit in your Command Seat.

- The jetpack must be able to take off and land again.

- The starting capsule that you build the jetpack on top of must be an

M

k1 Lander Can

with an upside down

Rockomax Brand Decoupler

on top. Like this:

(If you want to launch just EVA your kerbal, let it board the command seat, decouple and take off!)

Points system:

- Size(height)

To calculate the size of your jetpack: craftheight - 1.7

0.5- = 4 points

0.5 - 0.8 = 3 points

0.81 - 1.2 = 2 points

1.21+ = 1 point

- landing

Your jetpack must be able to land precisely

Landing on the VAB roof = 1 point

Landing on the SPH control tower = 2 points

Landing without any landing gear and taken damage earns you an extra point!

- speed

To calculate your speed points you have to take your topspeed (round it as an integer!), devide it by 5 and add 3.

So if your topspeed is 50 then you have 50/5+3 = 13 points.

- engines

If you have multiple engines you have to take you total points and devide them by the amount of engines you have.

So if you have 1 jet engine and 1 rocket engine, you have 12 total points, devided by the number of engines(2). So 6 points.

Jet engine = 8 points per engine

R.A.P.I.E.R. engine (hybrid engines) = 6 points per engine

Rocket engine = 4 points per engine

- control

To calculate your control points you have to devide 8 by the number of rcs ports you have, if you have linear rcs ports you can multiply this by 4.

Recap:

So to recap, if you want to participate you have to submit the following screenshots (

red = optional

):

- A screenshot of your jetpack with the engineers report opened

(The following five screenshots have to be taken in the same flight)

- A screenshot of your jetpack at the starting point

- A screenshot of your kerbal flying over the KSC (probably screaming in terror)

- A screenshot of your jetpack landed on the VAB roof

- A screenshot of your jetpack landed on the SPH control tower

- A screenshot of your jetpack next to the startingpoint (no landing requiered

)

- A screenshot of your jetpack achieving its speed record (can be done in another flight)

- A screenshot with a

clear

view on the amount and type of engines/rcs-ports.(can be done in multiple screenshots)

- A

craft file so other people can play with your abomination!

As you can see I've earned the following points:

Size(0.8) = 3 points

Landing(VAB&SPH) = 3 points

Speed(20/5+3) = 7 points

Engines(16/2) = 8 points

Control(8/8*4) = 4 points

So in total I've earned 25 points

Scoreboard:

1. Noahkra(OP) - 25 points - *craftfile comming soon*
