[RA3236]

Hello all!!!

This thread is for me to post my status on my career playthrough. It is modded, so I'll list the planned and mods in use below:

Blame computer viruses. I haven't touched anything to do with Internet in 3 weeks. Yes, I am still alive.

[RA3236]

Changed up a few things (most noticeably no LSS anymore  ) and also more stuff. I'm also going to make a little story with this  

[RA3236]

Yes, this will be updated:

And changed my mind: a story is almost out of the options  

[RA3236]

Okay: If you don't mind me spending five hours for a Juno propelled aircraft to reach [REDACTED] almost 400km from KSC, that's where the story begins.

[Spaceception]

Alright.

Alright.

5h+1-2d... I'm feeling absolutely horrible so this probably won't be updated today.

Restarting the career for a major mod reinstall.

Chapter 1: Research

A standard launch compared to most launches, or was it?

The rocket sat on the launch pad, ready to fly to a 250km orbit.

The rocket underwent takeoff procedures, and proceeded.

The rocket roared, sending tons of exhaust towards the ground as it flew gracefully through the sky.

After separation of the main boosters, the rocket continued, doing major course corrections on its way. The tank became lighter, allowing the TWR to increase.

The ship boosted to orbit, separating the fairings after it left the atmosphere. The payload was finally revealed.

The rocket circularized, allowing the engine to finally rest as the periapsis raised to 260km.

The telescope immediately turned around to take pictures of multiple bodies, and the Kerbals calculated the bodies' positions.

...

Yes, I finally got an update out. I might have skipped a lot of the main contracts using Alt-12, but hey, it allows me to make a brand new story . More to come!!!

Chapter 2: Uhh, two...???

Of course, Gene accepted the contract. I mean, why not, he thought. After all, they had a test aircraft design that could complete it. So Gene sent Jeb on a massive mission to the deserts to complete the good-for-nothing contract.

The plane took off and climbed, turned around and let the autopilot take over for the next twenty minutes.

Having seen some very beautiful views of Sonnah, Jeb continued to watch it rise over the horizon.

Jeb entered the deserts, closing in to the waypoints at over 800m/s. And Jeb was finally able to complete the contract.

As he finished, the Tracking Station activated the autopilot.

No-one noticed it was set to 0, not 90.

And as the plane sped towards the north, Jeb found the area that would be the main base of arche... I've said too much .

Jeb went in for landing, and the object, which was many, became recognisable.

"Oh, my..."

He came out, and simply said, "Hmmm."

[RA3236]

Okay, crash-test-dummy day for me, as MechJeb flatly refuses to calculate the transfer window from Sonnah to Plock (don't ask). I'm gonna use the Transfer Window planner (because the online one hates me) so I can do a reverse version of "exploring Kerbol".
