Whoop, well done!

Has anyone made an extended deltaV map that takes these planets into account? I'm planning a Neibos mission, among others, and I'd like to know how much I need to not over-engineer my craft.

Astrogator makes delta-v estimates in-game if you get the mod. That requires ckan though so I can look tommorow if you need me too.

I'm already using astrogator. Problem is, I can't plan the landing/takeoff for a planet in advance with it - only the transfer burn. I need to know how much deltaV it takes to launch from the various planets, and as far as I know the only way to figure that out is to hyperedit specific craft to a given celestial in sandbox and check what it says, which is a pain. If someone's already done that beforehand I'd like to know.

Try looking at Niebos' stats in the tracking center and compare them to Gaia/Kerbin. That might help a little bit if you try guessing delta-v.

So nobody's actually recorded exact deltaV figures? If so, I guess that'll have to do...

Unfortunately no. As the modder, I don't feel like I'm the one to do that at this stage in development (it requires a lot of maths as far as I know).

I just make the planets!

I'm thinking of lowering Niebos's atmosphere from 151,000 (ridiculously high) to 65000 (nearly Kerbin's) so that you can actually return from the planet.

To do this I'll just shrink The White Guardian's atmosphere keys to fit within 60000.

You can installl kerbal enginner or mech jeb

He wants to work out how much DeltaV it will cost him to get to the planet, not how much he needs

oopsyou can do a test manuver node to see how much dv you need.i done it going to niebos and its moon

[KerbolExplorer]

Whats that

It's hard to get a perspective on it. Does it disappear when you get closer? And does it move as if it was inside the planet rather than on the surface?

no idea on the first question but its was folowing me,I was just doking and i looked on the surferce and found that

In that case, it's just the arch you see inside planets. If you get to Nievis, you can see this effect too. Outside its sphere of influence, you can see the Mun arch inside of it (I don't know why, but that's a thing). This is probably what happens here. It aint an easter egg because I didn't put that there

All in all, it's harmless.

ok thanks

EDIT:Saw it on nievetos too

@wadusher1 Try this program. It'll find the best transfer windows and give you your arrival and departure ΔV. Just follow the steps to import the bodies file from KSP and it will work. Only thing it doesn't do is give you the ΔV for any landers, so you might need to overbuild them.

I don't need transfer window deltaV I need lander deltaV. I already have Astrogator calculating transfer windows,

I think a good place to start might be using the "Set Orbit" cheat in the Alt+F12 menu. Get a lander of sorts in orbit and just keep redesigning until it works. I know it isn't the fastest method, but it is certainly faster than having to fly all the way out there and finding out if the ship works.

I'll just use an overdesigned laythe lander if that's my best option.

What crashed into Gol?

Could it be this? This asteroid is called 'Nightmare'.

Here's a ship I designed which will land on everything in the Gaia system:

I doubt you need it for the mission you're undertaking, but for anyone else wanting to have a set ship, there ya go

Is there a way to still have clouds on kerbin if i use this pack but remove gaia?

Yes, but it requires a lot of messing with the code.

At this point, I'm completely dropping support for non-gaia users simply because of the sheer amount of errors that crop up. Sorry.

[Gameslinx]

This satellite was over-engineered but the lifter stage exploded on launch. Luckily using vector engines, it was able to get to its target location of Gaia's inner ring system:

Both probes have made it back to orbit of the great Gaia

Its predecessor, Starcatcher, has made it to Gullis

Do you think you could use EVE's Citylights to make the lava on Gol an Vulcan glow in the dark? I will also glow at the surface.

also, was the life on Volux intelegent enough to build a force field
