Challenges?

[theloganatorz]

Any KSP challenges you would like to see me do? Please tell me and I will record them for my YouTube!

All of them. In 1 launch.

My low mass Eeloo challenge? The challenge is to go to Eeloo and back with under 50 tons. Full challenge here.

Thanks!

colonise eeloo 

Warning: will be pretty hard

[septemberWaves]

What level are you at in terms of experience? Would you consider a docking to be challenging, or is it fairly routine for you? How about a large-scale Duna colonization program involving a large freighter mothership and a separate interplanetary crew transport, a station, a couple of surface bases, some rovers, and reusable Duna crew transports that can be refueled at the surface bases and regularly reused? For a new player, even the former will be a significant challenge to overcome, whilst for an experienced player (such as myself) a mission on the scale of the latter is fairly routine. As you can probably see, this is why your current level of experience is important.

All that being said, one thing which always challenges players is a Jool 5 mission. Personally I've given up on that for a while, since it doesn't suit my general play style and I haven't been able to make vehicle designs that looks nice enough to accomplish it. But for someone who is less aesthetically inclined, it's a reasonable challenge to attempt. So perhaps you should try it (assuming that you're experienced enough to efficiently and reliably conduct orbital rendezvous maneuvers and interplanetary transfers).

No it isn't. It is like colonizing the Mun but it is a lot further away. You just need to launch all the modules in one transfer window.

Maybe getting everything to Eeloo. You just need to be good at controlling more than one vessel at a time.

kerbal alarm clock needed

i am not that good at controlling more than 1 vehicle without kerbal alarm clock.

Yes KAC makes it much easier.

EELOO TRANSFER WINDOW NOW OPEN!!!  

[theloganatorz]

Wow! A lot of awesome replies! I do have some experience with ksp. I have a video with an orange tank to the mun so check that out. I am willing to take any challenge whether I complete it or not.

The "Elon Problem Challenge" might get you some veiws as SpaceX reticent announcement is still recent. Ii'm doing a modified version where i send enough 100 kerbals with enough hihicker modules to house them.

very nice, i also speed up my video up pretty badly but i dont think that's a problem, ur video is fine. this is one of my old videos and i sped it up about 8x speed so urs is pretty nice.

Well, you could try out my Highest Altitude Achieved Challenge (link in my signature). It's a nice and easy challenge, won't take you nearly as long as, say, a Jool 5 challenge.

[theloganatorz]

I was working on a 6 ton eeloo mission but I will probably have to put more mass on it as it doesn't have good power generation for the ion thruster on it. (inspired by Hazardish)

Also I will be starting up a 1.2 Hard Career mode so be on the look out for that!

Have you done an Eve return mission yet?

Here is my challenge for you: Eve return mission, Apollo-style (Eve orbit rendezvous profile). Take 3 kerbals to the Eve system with a single launch, land 2 of them on Eve (they need to be able to get out and plant a flag) return them to the command/service module in orbit, and then return all 3 to Kerbin. Extra points if you bring a rover. I'd put this in the challenges forum as a topic, but I am not doing anything like this for a while until MechJeb and a few other mods are updated to 1.2, and so I wouldn't have my own attempt for a while (it's easy enough compared to some things I've launched from Eve in the past, but still not doable for me without the ability to easily calculate delta-v (and yes I know I could use the rocket equation but I'm lazy)).

[theloganatorz]

Eve Mission sounds good! I have actually not landed a kerbal on Eve so I think that would be a good challenge!

Do a lot of testing. I've made some pretty huge Eve lifters in the past, and I can confirm that getting multiple kerbals off of the surface of Eve is not a simple feat. It should be somewhat easier in 1.2 since Eve's atmosphere apparently thins out faster, but I have not yet tested this.

[Kuansenhama]

Try this one. I made it way long ago. Probably with 1.2 and the increase in performance we've had since 1.0.5 you'll be able to go a lot taller!

Why not try the small Tylo lander challenge?

 

[theloganatorz]

Most of the Jool moons I have not been to but I should really go! I think a Tylo lander challenge would be great! I am also going to direct most of my ksp time to the upcoming ksp career mode. It will be 100% live streamed and will be lightly modded.

[theloganatorz]

 

I think I will either do the tylo lander or eve mission challenge they both sound pretty good. I'll try and post a video on those soon.

Tell me challenges I should do and I will do them! 

How about you try reading a few pages of recent challenges, and see which ones appeal to you personally?

In other words, don't be so lazy.. do some research.

[theloganatorz]

I have selected some of your challenges and I will attempt them soon! However, I have formulated an ultra hard challenge!
