Another fine suggestion! Count me in!

That's 2 in! So far there's 34 flags..... THIRTY FOUR FLAGS. Just let that sink in...... And I've still got to get to the KSC2!

(Not on topic, but I just saw the map; there's a class C asteroid that's going to impact Kerbin.... IT'S DESCENDING AAAAHHHHHHHHHH)

I'd love to see your pictures...

I too, have a giant vehicle for moving modules on Kerbin's surface. I've even used it to get ships in and out of the water before... might have to dig it out if we were to do that kind of challege

Here ya go (might be inspirational for creating a challenge) ... you might like the comments as well.

Just make sure it won't cost players too much time or ... convince Badie to make it a challenge lasting a month or longer. I've driven around Kerbin ... ehm ... my vehicle has driven around Kerbin while I programmed in course corrections ... took a very long time.

Triop's was one month. Mine is going to be at least 3

Please notify me of the topic when you create it.

Well, I'm going to be posting a challenge in the next few days, maybe @Badie would be interested:

I'm reviving the 2.5m Spaceplane mod, the challenge will be to build a spaceplane/shuttle using the parts.  I haven't yet finalized, but largest payload to orbit, fastest to orbit are some of the things to do.  Winners get to have their creations included in the mod (If the want).

[Skylon]

Has a MMU been suggested?

Reviving another mod, I see. That could actually be a pretty cool challenge though, use this mod to complete x and x challenge.

 

As another challenge, what about an air race challenge?

Get your periapsis as low as possible while orbiting (no limits,just get it very close to  the ground on Atmospheresless body)

[MiffedStarfish]

@cratercracker that's a good idea, but maybe it could be expanded by saying you have to break at least one part of the ground without slowing down. 

@Azimech that village is amazing! I want to build one now. I once landed a hypersonic plane on this tiny island out in the sea, (I went a bit heavy on the afterburners and ran out of fuel but was high enough to glide there, barely) almost directly east of the space centre and with another tiny island that was only a few times larger than my plane. Maybe I could build a bridge across, then put buildings around the place. If I ever take this idea beyond the wishful thinking stage, I'll probably start a thread on this. Thanks for the inspiration!

Anyway, challenges. How about: "Kerbal Gravity Well program" wherein you use the hack gravity cheat to increase the gravity and try to get to orbit, while slowly ramping the Gs up after each successful orbit. The higher the gravity you get to orbit with, the better your attempt is.

[ILikeIke]

-Most innovative use of a parachute (separate categories for deployed and non-deployed 'chutes)

-Landing on Duna in new ways

-Submarine week (scheduled to coincide with Shark week): longest submarine journey in a stock environment with stock parts

-Kerbal BBQ Program (I have no clue what this is, but I feel like somebody else here can make a challenge to fit the name)

[Human Person]

Build a plane using only a single wing.

@linuxgurugamer Is this challenge still on?

Very soon.  The release got delayed, but are nearly ready.

[Mr.Maxwell]

Are mods allowed?

[MiffedStarfish]

@Mr.Maxwell I think you can make challenges that you can use mods in, but the challenges have to be able to be done in stock. Hope this helps. 

[Mr.Maxwell]

OK thank you

[LoSBoL]

A triple star challenge?

Get an unexperienced Kerbal (or more) to

Maybe accompany the challenge with a few tips to get there could be usefull?

 

[Spaced Out]

Get to the Mun without going into orbit first.

[qzgy]

What about a "chuck jeb as far as you can with a rocket sled?" challenge. I think this could make a number of interesting solutions

[MiffedStarfish]

Maybe an "alternate power methods" challenge, where you have to get as high as possible without using engine parts.

[drtricky]

I found that some parts of the large boat parts pack can take quite a bit of heat before exploding. This means it's possible to have crafts tank more damage than just a few hits worth, so I'd be thrilled if someone ran a competition based on which user can deal the most carnage!

[MiffedStarfish]

I don't think the challenges can rely on mods.

Agreed

I believe (I posted something called Stratolauncher extended) we should retrofit the stratolauncher for various purposes (let's launch high speed fighter jets that Kirrim Kerman kan fly (the ingame character I named myself for krashed every second. And yes, his stats were perfect.

The ingame character's name was just quite unlucky so I gave Kirrim Kerman the job, which he filled out perfectly. I might be able to get the Stratolauncher Mk3-2/Saber Mk2 on KerbalX. That plane is what I used. I did upload it to KerbalX.  Here Is the url.
