TheKerbinator Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Honestly, I think this contest isn\'t any good, because of all the mods. If you\'re only allowing \'balanced\' mods, why not keep it stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbal Oil Co. Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Oh, sorry, by VTOL I mean a spaceplane that has engines pointed directly up, and mostly goes directly upward. A rocket in my opinion is too obvious and far,far,far too easy to get up that high.And my KSP game doesn\'t seem to take screenshots, all the screenshots turn up as blackness for some reason, and I have v0.15.2, if that helps.

Excalibur Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Cool, what are those AMD FX CPUs like? I\'ve no experience with them. Have you tried any overclocking? If it\'s got a 95W TDP then a good air-cooled heatsink should let you run a bit more voltage I would think...(Bit off topic sorry)I\'ve got a much older Intel Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz. Though it\'s overclocked to 3.6GHz on air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kHurtiZ Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Record title: Fastest time to the munRecord Statistic: 00:29:24Game version when record achieved: 15.4Screenshots:Mods used: NovaPunch, MechJeb (modded the nerva from NovaPunch to give me thrust vectoring -- only used 2 of the vectored engines, though.)OK so I realised that you could get to the moon far quicker than the 2 hour record listed. The trick is to punch straight for the moon, no getting into orbit first. So I used time warp to get the moon directly overhead KSC, then punched it. I burned all the fuel in the external tanks, which took me to about 4 megametres; coasted to 6.5 megametres, then flipped over and retro-burned. Timed it pretty well, so I didn\'t have much coasting during mun approach -- I wanted to come in as fast as possible.Here\'s the load-out: - 7 SRBs (the big ones); (also lit up 8 of my nervas for takeoff) - 16 nervas on the external jettisonable struts - Another 10 nervas on the main craftDidn\'t bother with legs, just landed on my engines.Not visible in the screenshots, but my maximum velocity was around 16,000 m/s.I think this is just about the fastest time achievable without cfg edits. Might be able to shave a few minutes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
