I don't know what those ribbons mean..

 How about an Eve flying vehicle, unmanned or manned? Or a Duna surface base with rovers, or a big mobile surface base?

Those ribbons could be hard to understand, but just look at the colors and icons, and you will see what they mean. And mobile duna base sounds like a good idea, a compact one too. Not too complicated. And i have tried an Eve flying vehicle, and it was actually pretty good, so im gonna try that out too.

Cool man, the most fun I have had are with modular bases and sending different types of probes out to the planets. Like a jet probe to laythe for example or a sub to Eve. Just don't send rovers to bop or poll or other small moons.. RCS or Ion hoppers are better for those worlds. Maybe send one with one or two ISRU bases around the planet so you can see it all!

Those different types of probes are a good idea, i always send the same series of spacecraft to both Duna and Eve. but i never tried different probes! I could do that too!

Yeah! Send the ISRU ahead of time to act like fuel stations around the planet for the probes.

Hee hee! I think I will do the same, sounds really fun huh! Simple little fuel stations dotted around the planet.

But i feel like building a launcher first is a good idea too. I only have the Mammoth 3 in my launcher library, and i think im gonna start a launcher family.

[NSEP]

Im working on the Mammoth 4 now, it currently has 6km/s of delta-V and a decent thrust to weight ratio. I feel like it could hold 15-30 tons in orbit around Kerbin, im not 100% sure. But this could br udrf for sending the mini ISRU stations the Mun or Minmus. But im still working on it. So we will see. And im also having some difficulties with my PC, it overheats and shuts down if i play any game that requires a graphics card for 20 minutes. I blame you Summer! And i dont have much time tommorow because im not at home for that long. ):

ATTENTION EVERYBODY!! A NEW IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOU PEEPS!!

For anyone who thought the topic was dead, its not. Im still working on the NSEP. But i have a both bad news and news that is not good or bad just your opinion.

So the bad news is that my PC has some technical difficulties. It shuts down automaticly and i dont exactly know why. But i think its because of overheating, i even turned off the autoshutdown for overheating, and i even have cleaned my fan and stuff like that. But it still does not work.

So the other news is that my old game was a little to messy. It crashed all the time and i dont wich mod was responsible. So re-installed KSP, and i have now one game changing mod: Ven's Stock Revamp wich is basiclly a Resource Pack for KSP. This might dissapoint some people, but i installed this mod because i wanted my spaceships to look more realistic and i think it is an awesome mod. This mod could still be compatible with stock KSP. The Stock spacecraft still and look work perfectly fine with this mod, and i hope it has the same effect on the opposite side too. Either way peeps, i will hopfully post some good news about my PC within these 24 hours. See ya!

Oh! And i forgot to tell ya! Im working on this new project in KSP called project ''Selene''. You could compare this to Mars One, expect with the Mun. The idea is that it will turn the Mun into something like Antartica, a place were scientific research is being done all the time. i will post more about it in the future.

I look forward to seeing your mun crafts man!

sorry to hear about your PC.. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Im blame the summer on this PC problem. And project Selene is going to use the mini ISRU's. I thought of building the mini ISRU's just straight away with no mission plan or whatever. But now i know what im doing. And im also ''collecting'' launchers. The first launchers i will make are going to be saved as a subassembly, so i can use then for other things. And if this project goes as planned, i will plan on a manned Duna mission, and i will also come back to the constellation mission thread. BTW i am writing this at 1 AM and it smells like noodles in here idk why but lol. And my PC only allows 20 minutes of gameplay, wich sucks, but i will get my PC a sodipop with ice. She will enjoy it for sure.

Ha ha, nice. Yeah cool the old girl down. 

 You are only an hour ahead of me it seems. A fellow European. It is warm isn't it! My flat is boiling but I have a glorious aircon unit! And a freezer full of I've cream. ;-)

My house has been invaded by mosqitous. I wish i lived in Antartica, were my pc does not overheat so fast. Or maybe it will melt through the ice, idk. I might use my PC for an Europa mission.

By the way, this is how i would refuel my spaceships:

1. Mining Module goes mining

2. The Mining Module drains all its ore into the refuel station

3. The Mining Module goes back to work

4. Meanwhile a spacecraft goes for a refuel.

5. The cycle goes on.

(sorry for my absolute garbage drawing skills. I have a greasy ball mouse, wich makes it hard to draw. But im still good at drawing IRL. Maybe i will remake this drawing with a hand and a pencil.)

Boom! New image, same steps!

[NSEP]

The first step in the Selena project take place! The Polar Lunar scanner is on its way!

And it did actually make in a polar orbit and i have scanned it. Maybe i could do one mission, close my game, let my PC cool down by browsing the KSP forum and then do another mission. Thats my Summer method of doing the missions.

This is my Lunar scanning lander, it is used for detecting ore around areas, and when in it finds an ore rich place, it hops to that area. The place were it finds the best ore quality, is the place where Moon Base Beta will be. There are going to be 2 types of bases in the Selena Project: Mining bases and Scientific bases. Moon Base Beta will be a Mining base, and Moon Base Alpha will be a scientific base. But Moon Base Alpha will come first, then Beta.

Haha lol. I knew somebody would say that! And the bases need nicknames so... Maybe.

[NSEP]

Aww! Marloes! You have grown alot! I have not seen you in a long time, young lady! Let me squeeze your solar panels!

I introduce you to the Marloes 2.0! Now with more docking ports and a more detailed look, we need a nickname for her, if you have one, tell me!

[NSEP]

@Crocketthe science lab hopper thing might come in handy in project Selene!

I would love to contribute to this program. Would you like to ally with my space program? It's called the Kerbal explosion and crashing center. (KECC.) I have a great launch vehicle you could use. Write a message on my profile if you want me to help.

Nice, even though the name of your space program is a little untrusty. I would like to work together!

Ok peeps! Sometimes i will stop posting about the NSEP. I sometimes will post. But not that frequently. I stop the NSEP anytime soon. But i will be posting less frequently on this topic. Why? Because im working on other little projects that are not NSEP related. You could still talk without me. Its not just my space program, also yours. Have fun!
