sdj64 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Okay I'm not dead but I've only made it to Laythe so far. At this rate, I'll be done by April! (joking of course, but it will definitely be after Christmas) I had to give the ship some nukes for the Tylo transfers and a redesigned tail for better aero stability, compared to the previous picture I posted. Here are some pictures: https://imgur.com/a/fBd4Wp8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvermoreAlpaca Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 (edited) By the way, the Jool 5 mission I was almost done with and hinted at awhile back has been indefinitely postponed because I brought an old, unfinished version of one of the landers, so I need to refly the whole thing. Very frustrating due to the huge number of gravity assists... The sad thing is the working lander is actually a few kilograms lighter, so the whole thing should have worked.

GRS Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 are naked seats allowed, because i might use that for my mission, if my pc cant take it (my Eve rocket already push my pc near its limit ), the orders are Tylo-Laythe-Vall-Bop-Pol, but it could also be Pol-Bop-Vall-Laythe-Tylo (that if i use naked seat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) Screw that message i made, finally an advantage, the tracks will be Pol-Bop-Vall-Laythe-Tylo here's the advantage : https://imgur.com/a/I7cl9M9 Spoiler The craft is called "Millenia", no idea how i got that name, it will hopefully do the whole thing without orbital rendezvous and ISRU Edited December 6, 2018 by GRS just adding spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRS Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) K, thanks (even though i'm not gonna use it, sort of, depending on Laythe stages), at least i have a vision that it will REALLY being done, sooner or "Laythe"r Edited December 6, 2018 by GRS writing mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) Update : Pol-Bop-Vall-Laythe-Tylo more advantage ??? https://imgur.com/gallery/I7cl9M9 Spoiler i look stupid on imgur, and current Millenia looking Edited December 7, 2018 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Also for @EvermoreAlpaca, or should i say Bradley Whistance (correct me if i'm wrong), you can evade the rules by carying a pod, that will be disposed in Joolar SOI, i have no idea of will service bays with inner command chair allowed, hey Jacob, is it fine ?

GRS Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) Also, @EvermoreAlpaca seems to be planning a nonstop Jool 5 mission, Desu (is it)??? and dont make me feel like i'm the only one talking here Edited December 8, 2018 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its an idea, but there is a long backlog of missions I want to do and not enough time in a day =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) I'm literally like you, many pending landings, have to resurrect those landings i did in 1.0.5 and a 200 Kerman mission to Dres, but soon i will be having a temporary freedom (School Vacation), and you better use your Dres awareness badge, i know you're a pro Edited December 8, 2018 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRS Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 (edited) Landing on a certain body without taking the ship LOL, i did that to Pol, that Kerbal mark in my ribbons is the Extreme EVA Landing, the one in Bottom Right, you have to go EVA in the orbit and land the Kerbal using no more than EVA propellant, maybe get to the ship using no more than EVA propellant, which happened to me because my ship has no probe core Edited December 11, 2018 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xurkitree Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I completed another Jool-5 in my 2nd attempt at a Grand Tour! I started a thread in Mission Reports to document this here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Alright everyone, sorry that i will do a hiatus for this challenge, i need to focus on other stuff like Eve, Gilly and Ike, and a 200 Kerman Dres landing to give it some love. Current progress here. and a flag for the mission (sorry if it sucks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiriusRocketry Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I MUST attempt this. Never did it before, and I can't call myself a Kerbal until I do... I'm out of retirement, baby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations @chargan on completing the Jool five mission on level 1! I liked the shuttle you used, and its VTOL capabilities. It's difficult to build an ISRU ship that can handle Tylo. I will be adding you to the leader-board now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) I'm back [-snip-] , no more big pending missions now, i'll be fully focusing on Millenia's development, and finishing the monster of "Centurion Rockets" series, target mass : OVER 9000 tons. (The "Second Fiddle" (200 Kerman Dres) is done with a disappointing 2 tons gap with the third fiddle (Eve no docking and NERVA)) Edited February 21, 2019 by Starhawk redacted by moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
