chrislo27 Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 When you edit the save file and have two spacestations in the exact same place.Very pretty debris cloud though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samstarman5 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Forgetting that those helpful numbers at the top of the screen display elevation above sea level and not ground. There are some hills and mountains with new crater-like features added to them.And yes, I like to play landings close to the belt. Deploying chutes at 5km is for kerbals named Bob. (Best minimum altitude for deployment so far that I can determine is at 150m.)At least they got to the mun As for me? I manually got six or seven rockets into orbit before discovering what the \'\'T\'\' button does.In the Mun is probably more correct. Lawn dart!

Anomalous_Matter Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 I made a new shuttle design, flew it to the Mun, and right when I was about to go in for a landing I realized I hadn\'t put a decoupler between my orbit and landing stages.-.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrmisquito Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Made a very large plane, i mean HUGE, i flew over some mountains behind the runway, landed, no crashing, then i took off, was heading back and got bored, so i was dive bombing towards the ground and pulling up at the last second, and around the 5th time i did that, the entire right side of wings ripped off and i barrel rolled into the ground at high speeds. Heres the Kerbs expressions when it asploded!--> :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 That moment when you realize you forgot landing legs on your munar lander. They never did make it home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusher8000 Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 My cat jumping on my keyboard and causing a premature seperation while I was in the middle of landing on the mün. I still managed to land though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BustedEarLobes Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 One time, I left the moons orbit with tons of fuel, Exited the moons SOI, got recaptured into the moons SOI, Burned AWAY from the moon to prevent re-orbit again, got in a Kerbin escape trajectory, got worried and tried to retro burn, ran out of fuel, hit spacebar to separate to the next stage with more fuel, had an autosave lag spike and hit space twice thinking that the first hit didn\'t get recognized, both stages sperated, and now my poor kerbals are forever orbiting the sun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpkwarrior Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Once, one of my space planes fired up its engines, got up to 10 m\s, rolled over, and exploded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Zoom Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 On one of my first successful Mun missions, I got all the way back to Kerbin orbit... and jettisoned the service module ([space]) rather than firing the retros ([LShift], or possibly RCS). They\'d still be up there, if Jeb hadn\'t gone up himself to 'nudge' them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunJumper Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I try to deploy my parachutes below 1km, unless I\'m re-entering onto land, at which case, I wait until my velocity is some 200m/s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mincespy Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Dat time when I smashed a lander on the mun. The crew were stranded, so I decided to launch a rescue mission, and then halfway through the trip to the mun I decided to abandon the rescue mission and just landed them on the mun. Then I decided to start the rescue mission again, and I made it to the stranded crew\'s location... and the fuel ran out about half a minute before landing.Boom.No more rescue mission .

LaydeeDem Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I don\'t know if it was a fail, or a win. I got bored on my computer and decided to check on my brother. As it turns out, he was building an anti-debris missile to take out the stages from his Mun missions. He went to go take his shower and I hopped on his computer and launched that sucker on a direct collusion course with the Mun. T\'was amazing. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopardenthusiast Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I built a powerful jetplane with huge wings above my tiny little orbiting spaceplane. Turns out it was too heavy. The entire lower spaceplane which had the command module was crushed, although maybe a control surface or two survived. The upper jetplane? Undamaged. Not sure if that\'s a win for my jetplane engineering or a fail for my spaceplane engineering.Sadly, I forgot to save it, and I didn\'t take any screenshots.

HOC Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 My first mission to the Mun was successful, but I didn\'t have enough fuel to return so they just sat there patiently.My second was a rescue mission, which I managed to get a little under 2 hundred metres away from the first landing site before it partially crashed and THAT crew got stranded.The third suffered similar results to the second...The fourth landed dead next the the debris of the second, but didn\'t have enough fuel to return.And the fifth was completely successful! I landed on the Mun\'s surface with plenty of fuel to return home, somehow stuffed a total of 15 kerbals into the one, cramped command module and jumped jetted away into the air... then promptly, accidentally decoupled the command module from the engines and sailed back down...Damn, mission six: you\'re up.

CleavelandTheCav Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 One of my biggest fails is when I was trying to land on the moon, but I discovered I was going to get slingshotted through its orbit. I then engaged my rocket pointing at the moon and before long I was heading down to land. After that I crashed int the moon at an alarming speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigw2 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Aimed for munar injection, Got sun orbit . Burnt all my fuel trying to correct it. Current calculations show it will take over 12 million kerbal years for the ship to come into contact with kerbin. Hopefully whenever they add new planets, One of them will be easier to crash into with nothing but half a tank of RCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anomalous_Matter Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Built a stock Mun rocket.Went to the Mun.Forgot landing legs and RCS tanks.Landed perfectly and returned home alive anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusher8000 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 After some succesful mun landings I decided to fly back home. When I entered the atmosphere the game saved and I decided to surf a bit because it took a while. I forgot I was going at 3km/s and when I looked back at the game after a minute it already crashed.Also this.Landed quite a big rocket for my standardsWith wheels ofcourseNormally I just play around with crashed pods with the claw but I wasn\'t able to land anywhere near one so I decided to see how fast I could drive.Then this happens.

Tim_Barrett Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Holding F the first few days of playing.... my fingers hurt...Other than that, no real 'fails' have happened other than ones I truly knew were going to happen. One time I tried slowly flying/landing my Yamato cruiser into the vab.The port hull ripped off following with the second bridge getting annihilated, where the 'gratispa' was. I fell. Kind of boom.
