Maybe part of the reason he copied it was because It was absolutely amazing! It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But I would not blame @JacobJHC for not being flattered, it really just looks like @GRS was taking a shortcut to a solution. It's hard to feel chuffed by someone else's laziness. Is it a learning experience? Sure, we all did a bit of craft copying when we were learning the game. But when you are engaging in a challenge? This competitive challenge is something many of us take time, effort and pride in. @GRSyou have been called out as an obvious plagiarist. Don't expect any respect from your peers. Perhaps that's the relevant learning experience here. Edited December 7, 2019 by jinnantonix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Whatever...time to do it again...i guess...so...the only flaw is the way it looks...shouldn't be too hard...i hope i can start once once the test is over...(around 10th December) uninterrupted...

sturmhauke Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Consider my entry: vs. its inspiration, by @McBalsam from the previous edition of the challenge: I could have simply taken McBalsam's craft and made some cosmetic changes (especially since he posted it on KerbalX!). But instead, I took it apart in the SPH, studied the techniques, and built my own craft. There are obviously some similarities, but honestly his is just better - it's smaller, sleeker, and more efficient. I am pretty proud of mine though, especially the Laythe SSTO.

GRS Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Fine...@JacobJHC... What do you expect me to change ? Judging your reactions...i feel like i have to restart the designing and change some parts...then relaunching the whole thing...i don't know what should i change as you didn't mention the landers...

I hope everything is clear, but if you have questions please ask. One final note: I forgot to disable Hyperedit and Vessel Mover for the launch into LKO. I hope that the detailed mission report I have provided of the launch will convince you that I did not cheat ;). I disabled these mods as soon as I realized I still had them running, so you will not see them for the remainder of the mission. @jost: I've been having difficulties with imgur as well. To me it looks like they are in the process of updating their site code and it is not going according to plan... Hopefully they'll sort it out soon. Congratulations on completing the Jool 5 Challenge on level 2! I liked the robustness of your lander, but was the most impressed by the extra-mile you put in by recovering the lander from Kerbin orbit. Another thing to note, adding the separate imgur albums for more technical screenshots was extremely useful. (Also that launch stage was pretty epic looking.) Adding you to the leaderboard now!

Xyphos Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) I completed (again) on HARD MODE (again) but this time, I live streamed it to Facebook (~5 hours long) KSP group. despite several unexpected interruptions from my family, dogs and a crash landing on Vall, I succeeded anyway. https://www.facebook.com/100009261702728/videos/2462021554116544/ UPDATE: Hindsight, the KSP facebook group is a private group, so unless you're a member you won't be able to see the video, so I snagged the MP4 url and uploaded it to YouTube instead. - Edited December 12, 2019 by Xyphos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woudn't restart just to change some parts. I'm not @JacobJHC but a copy with some exchanged parts it's still a copy for me Think about what you want to achieve. A ultimate mission with minimum part count and/or delta v? With or without ISRU? With minimum time/maximum science etc? Should the missions split in Kerbin orbit (e.G. one dedicated submission for Eve and Moho, one for the outer planets?)

GRS Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 I want a big mission, No ISRU (as usual), not so big (That's why i used Ions), Highly capable, high Delta V but not sluggish, capable of carrying 5 Kerbals during the whole trip...with at least 42 Landings...

Fraus Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 (edited) I was curious if the part clipping rule is included for the lifting vehicles for the assembly or for empty fuel tanks, I’m planning on doing something fairly extra and unnecessary and the crafts have clipped tanks with fuel drained out of them so they look a different diameter than what is achievable with stock parts Edited December 20, 2019 by Fraus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend his advice.

Do you think you could reply to this post with time stamps for major parts of the mission?

GRS Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 ...now what ? I literally don't know what to do now...i might have no time in my Holiday because I'm going to stay away from my hometown for pretty much an entire holiday...i have no other choice but a super hurried planning and mission simply because i have only 3 Months full of testing in School and finding a good college and live a good live...not sure if i can even have freetime once in a college, i can't even imagine...whatever...just wait for me to come back...

I have another problem though: Since Kerpollo doesn't need to have the resource tab open when KER delta v display is present I actually have no screenshot with resources tab open at all. The delta-v readouts can be seen though. Since the rule is quite clear I guess I'm disqualified ain't I? If not: What parts are interesting? My guess is delta v before after each step (landing, launch, rendevouz, transfers), right? Regards, Jost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
