DoctorDavinci Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Hey all, just a PSA ..... If you set up refueling stations at each flag and use docking ports to do your refueling, when you decouple your craft from the refueling station the mission timer is rest back to 0 EDIT: You will have to set your refueling stations as bases to use this quirk of KSP ... Place your refueling stations then go to the tracking station, select a refueling station, click on the 'i' looking button on the lower right to bring up the craft info and then double click on the name of the station (Black type on orange background) ... Select station as the icon to be used and save Edited December 30, 2016 by DoctorDavinci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It barely ran after that. Bought the Elite from a friend and ripped off all the plastic, rebuilt the seat, took the tank from my Vespa because it was bigger, etc... All the pictures of me on the Vespa are in backup, sorry, you'll just have to trust me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEpicSquared Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) Unfortunately, I will have to pull out of this race, due to a random corruption in the save file. I went into it and found that all my craft had been deleted, I couldn't launch anything, and when I restarted KSP the save file had deleted itself. Spoiler AAAGGH!!!!

Everything in the save, unfortunately. And with just a day left to rebuild and test my rover, I've lost interest. EDIT: However, I'm making my own rally at the moment, and I'm almost done. I just have to make a dropbox account and upload the save file, make a thread, and I'm done. I'll announce it here (if that's ok with you @Triop) and on the Official Kerbal Racing Season thread, by myself and @Oliverm001x.

One successful run (same vehicle) with no quickloads as far as I am aware Also @Triop is the deadline for submission in the end on January?
