FWIW, they are 'physicsless', but that's not quite the same as 'massless' anymore: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Physicsless_part

FYI, Typo.

[The_Rocketeer]

Sry, might've come off as sarky there - I was just pointing out that the effect of (so-called) massless parts isn't what it used to be.

[SpaceplaneAddict]

No need to be sorry! I was just teasing.

[Przemqo]

Okay, I guess I will try to fly Haste, when I find a moment of time:)

[Przemqo]

Sooo, I took SpaceplaneAddict's Haste for a spin - boy oh boy, does it require careful flying which I cannot provide:) It only took me like 6 tries, 3 of them were because I lost nuke during lifting up from runway. And in the end I lost it during landing, but hey, everybody survived, right?

Does it qualify for a badge?

[SpaceplaneAddict]

Not quite, but you're close. I think

Apperently, you're allowed no retries,so yeah.

BTW, if ya really want a Masters badge, I would reccomend going through the current leaderboard and finding an easier craft. If you're really set on the Haste, I would recommend flying it with fine controls, activated by caps lock. Try not the pitch to hard

Hope I helped,

SPAddict out.

By the way, I just realized, you're new to the forums right? WELCOME!

[Przemqo]

Thank you:) Back to trying then.

Danob, by Nich -> only one attempt - as you can see I sometimes struggle with landing... Is it enough?

Yeah, I think that qualifies. Thougb in the last pic, I saw you had lost some pieces. That probably adds to the dev cost, but, you made it. Soooo

Przemqo, as unauthorized as I am, I believe you have earned your Master's degree in SSTOing.

SPAddict, out

you may want to put your landing gear closer to the body. as is they work like a lever putting heavy force at the connection on the body. may not solve your problems but it should stiffen the wing joint tremendously.

Thanks for all help!

Hey guys I have been dealing with life issues and can not maintain the leader board or judge anymore entries. If anyone wants to take over the challenge they have my permission to start a new one. I also release the badges if you want to use them in the new challenge. Make sure to change the embedded link
