Recommended Posts

From a 100 km starting orbit, create the lowest mass 3-kerbal Duna landing vehicle.  You do not have to fly it there, you can use debug menu or hyper-edit.  Only 1 drogue chute allowed.  Reentry heating must be set to 120%.  

Score: (100 - mass)-partcount.

Bonus- The DDV should be able to take the crew to a base if needed.  Upon landing, plant a flag for reference.  With your remaining fuel, try to hop as far as possible.  + 1 point for every 2 kilometers.  Maximum 100 kilometers.  Alternatively, bring a rover(which cannot have solar panels) and drive that.  +1 point for every kilometer, maximum 50 kilometers.  

Perform an abort to orbit with same vehicle when at an altitude of 20-30 kilometers: +50 points.  Must also do a normal descent.

Land near an anomaly or another spacecraft: + 1 point for within 10 km, +2 for within 9, ect.

Mods:  All autopilots allowed(Mechjeb's rover autopilot is useful.).  Tweakscale banned.  No procedural parts.  Stock alike parts allowed.  No nukes or ions.  

Use RO: X2 points

Use RSS: X2 points
