Kmschr Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I doubt you could do this without crashing the game, I got it to 40 million m/s and the game was ready to crash, no way it wouldnt at 300million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUnknownPoet Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm at 95,000 m/s, and 2 trillion km out. As soon as i reach the sun's escape, i'll turn on the throttle, and reach the speed of light. (Waiting till the sun escape because my time to escape is 68 years, and i have to warp or i'll never finish.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramnrmeul Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Well, that will be FOREVER, due to the fact that the sun's SoI extends infinitely in all directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timewarp always says slightly over 68 years, since it's the largest number it can handle (2^31 seconds). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Grant Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 I'm currently at 394,200+ m/s in 0.17. This puts me at slightly over 1/1,000th the speed of light. I've been burning with the DSM Ion engine for over a day and a half, with a couple of intervals, one to flyby Eve at ludicrous speed, and I've gotten a serious appreciation of how fracking fast light really is. I won't be able to return to do another flyby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejayek Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 With stock parts I managed ~27,000m/s with a 5 hour nuclear engine burn... Speed of light is rediculously high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark_mazz Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Can we see a map view and a description of how you did that? I want to see how you managed that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zekes Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Well, my Kerbonaut got out of the ship and everything went black, and speed went insane. Absolutely no explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OdinYggd Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 If anything what you should do is go to the very edge of the sun's SOI, then burn retro till your periapsis is perhaps 50km, and sundive from clear across Kerbol's SOI. Assuming enough remaining delta-V and your ship does not collide with a planet or break up, that would be about as close as you could possibly get using stock parts or normal mods.

wetwetwet Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I made a rocket that it's average acceleration is 4332meters per second and travels at %13.4 the speed of light ( or at about 40300000 m/ps) ANd of course i changed the config parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reavermyst Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Wet, look at the date of this Challenge..... August of last year... I think you're late for that party, not to mention you probably had a later version than .16(major changes since then) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjello Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Goal: How little is needed to do light speed without glitch or edits. Only ion engine modified to K-drive.Well doing this without a K-drive is impossible.Engine power 7800 kN (anything above and it can't stay attached to the craft)Efficiency 1 Xeon gas canister for light speed.Craft capable of sustaining 174.75 G acc (3 Hardy kerbals inside smiling)Time to LS 83 Hours ... first attempt got bored of waitingSO "the LS3" 8 K-drives instead of oneCraft capable of sustaining 1022.64 G acc (3 Hardy kerbals inside smiling)Time to LS 4.8 hours (doable ) lets waitO and by the way awesome that you can run multiple KSP's in paralel on the same computer.0.3 % speed of light by the time of kerbal escape.They really should make the sun look different as you get farther away or closer in. Would add a little to the realism . OOo darn it hoped i didn't have to upload the image to the web first... 2% speed of light reachedhmm at about 3 % the physics get wonky. Had to slow acc down... maybe i will fail utterly as the rest :---lwell ill post and wait and see. Anyways this was a wonderfull crazy thread even if it was a bit old .
