Do something nobody has done before

[quasarrgames]

Yup. That's the challenge!

It can be anything, as long as you're the first person to do it in this current version of KSP.

If you want, i'll make a badge for it too

Here's my entry: I'm the first to make a spacefaring kraken drive in 1.0

So go crazy and have fun!

VICTORS:

[Cubeking2311]

I think this deserves a go. I'll submit one later.

[AlextheBodacious]

How do we know what no one has done before?

[Bubbadevlin]

Very cool!!! A) how does the kraken drive work?, would love to replicate 1, but idk how

And does my walker count? I do know it was the first stock 1, its in my sig.

[Just Jim]

Oh, I may have one! I've never seen a picture of this anywhere on here or on the steam forum.

My entry: Have Val climb on to of, and plant a flag into, the fallen out eyeball of the Dead Kraken on Bop!!!

Ewwwwwwww......... heeheeheehee

[KerbalCorgi]

Sorry, I don't have pictures, but I saw a solar eclipse over KSC. Does that count?

Probably not, as a solar eclipse occurs over the KSC every 6 or 7 days due to the Mun having 0 degrees inclination and KSC being on the equator and Kerbin having 0 degrees axial tilt.

[KerbalCorgi]

Good point, I figured I wasn't the first. Looks like I'll have to do something else.

[Grenartia]

Does a completely stock (aside from MechJeb) Mach 5 capable plane count?

[Superfluous J]

I submit both of the pictures in my signature.

[Grenartia]

Those wings don't look like 1.0.5 wings. at least not stock ones.

[LaytheDragon]

I can submit the deepest depth on Laythe. 3 meters deeper than the top entry in the Deep Diver Challenge.

Pick four KSP bodies at random, visit them in that order. There are over 30 thousand possibilities. Chances are nobody has ever done that mission profile before. Of course chances are it's also something like Vall - Gilly - Moho - Eve, a mission profile that's just a bit odd to do.

Building buggys with a Apache cockpit, configed the wheels, speeds upto 200+m/s (on flat ground)

I made a thread just like this two months ago...

Oh well.

Then bump it up, why not, I'd like to see that.

Alright, will do.

Ok, I've been to your link, you are right, we left you hanging (not me of course)...

Maybe it was the title ?

Yeah that's most likely why...

Maybe these two threads should merge!

[Triop]

" Maybe these two threads should merge! "

Not possible I am afraid, but you where first, so take the glory like a vicking !

[MarvinKitFox]

There, I've done it!

Something that takes a genius crossbred with a moron to figure out, so fiendishly clever that no-one could possibly ever think of it.

Post redacted by the secrecy police.Nothing here to see. These are NOT the droids you are looking for. Move along!

What? Post it here? Are you nuts?

If I post it here, then *everyone* will be doing it, and it will be nothing special any more.

 

This secret is mine, and mine alone! Muhahahahahaha!!

 

 

[amankd]

can it include modding? because i am the first person to ever add flames to a kerbal konstructs part for my halo mod (the flaming wrecks in the first segment

Probably not. I seem to remember putting some rapiers on a dart and reaching those speeds.

How about my 600t, 100% stock, completely recoverable "FalKOR" booster landing within 5km of the launch pad with ZERO navigational aides, no parachutes, no wings, no targeting and not even so much as a visual reference from the terrain because it was at NIGHT! Would that count? I've seen some comparably sized recoverable boosters, but so far every one I've found either relies on modded parts, navigation mods, parachutes, outright hacks or a combination thereof to land safely, not to mention that whole dead reckoning in complete darkness situation.

She landed with 185 out of 44,100 units of liquid fuel left (.42%) after successfully boosting the "Atreyu" Orbital Transfer Vehicle and payload (combined 100t with fuel) to a confidently generous target profile. It did take 4 attempts, which all loaded back to the same quicksave so there was no refinement of the flight profile from that point over subsequent attempts aside from the relative frame of reference between each attempt along with my own completely unscientific and mathless judgement. I'm actually pretty sure I mostly got lucky with brute trial and error to get back as close as I did, but considering the circumstances I'll consider it a solid win, if perhaps slightly less than perfect.

If you're interested I'll be posting more about this booster and many other crafts soon. On a perhaps philosophical note, I personally believe that there will always be room in KSP to figure out something that someone else hasn't done before, and not just in a subtle, nitpicky way either. There is still so much opportunity to innovate in fun and unexpected ways; You could say in a way that this challenge really represents a more fundamental aspect of the game itself which reliably affords a nearly infinite possibility of unique solutions, even when the goals and obstacles remain equal. Doing something that someone else hasn't done, or even just doing something in a new way is the whole reason we all participate in forums and is quite rightly the natural compulsion of any self respecting gamer.

CHEERS!  >========>

As far as I am aware, this is the first single stage Tylo mission without stopping to refuel.  I mined on Tylo to refuel for the trip back home to Kerbin, and thoroughly doubt that a round trip without ISRU on Tylo's surface is possible on a single stage.  Barring physics glitches.  If anyone else has done this, or would like to attempt it, let me know.
