SargeRho Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I'm working on my longest mission yet. Plan is to go to Duna and land there, then to Jool and land on Laythe and return. Currently I'm assembling the ship in space using a docking mod, and Mechjeb to get me to the proper orbit. If this works well, I will start another one, with a bigger ship, more landers and fuel transfer mod, and to all planets, and with a fuel depot around Duna or Jool.

TouhouTorpedo Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 KSP is now inviting rednecks to join their ranks.Though I dunno, Kerbals rednecks are probably greennecks. Or maybe lime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

segaprophet Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Gilly is REALLY dangerous, for all sorts of reasons. For example, my guy ran into the ship and fell down. When I had him stand up, he was under the ship and accidentally headbutted it. This resulted: Fortunately, I had a recent quicksave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segaprophet Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 This has to got to be one of my fave pics using my wheels and cab mod I've seen yet. How did you find it handled on Duna?Thanks, I've been having a blast with your parts. All the tendencies of the vehicle are exaggerated because of the low gravity. On Kerbin, this vehicle can sustain a turn at 45m/ps, while it will want to tip while turning at 60+m/ps. On Duna, turning while going above 25m/ps will start a tip (but you have more time to correct).Jumps on Duna mean more air time, so more front/back rotation. So even though you can't hot dog it quite like on Kerbin, it's still pretty stable up to about 25m/ps. And it plays nice with up to 3x time compression as well (which actually reduces the tendency to tip while turning, strangely enough). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueMason Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 My first successful mission to Eve... in fact, my only mission to Eve thus far. I had mixed results.The approach:<a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318229m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318229m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a><a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318231m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318231m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a><a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318232m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318232m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a>First time round involved a rather spectacular landing. I was re-entering too fast, and all of my parachutes failed, so I decided to completely ditch the ship and EVA'd Doodfrey Kerman out of the stricken lander. RCS pack activated, I tried as much as I could to slow the kerbonaut down. Amazingly, he BOUNCED off the surface. TWICE. First bounce, he himself was crippled:<a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318234m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318234m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a>After the second bounce, he recovered, and stood up on Eve, with no ship anywhere...<a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318243m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318243m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a>Soooo, after reloading a quicksave that I had in Eve orbit, I decided to aerobrake through Eve's atmosphere, then deploy the chutes. Thankfully, the ploy worked, and now a Lunar 3-D lander stands on Eve. Doodfrey was zapped back to Kerbin via the 'teleporter'/controversial 'End Flight' button on Jebediah's desk.<a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318253m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318253m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a>A nice Even morning before being zapped back to home.<a href="/image_zoom.php?id=/user_images/9763/1350318258m"><img src="http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/9763/1350318258m_SPLASH.jpg" border="0" width="500" height="281" alt=""></a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, more screens of my slow, boring, yet eerie and creepy orbit in EVA:(Gilly's got a nice chest... wait what? >w>)This is my favorite moon in the game by far, it's so much fun >w<EDIT: Also, I forgot to mention, has anybody ever Left-clicked their mouse and moved it around while in EVA? I surprised myself when I figured that out lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
