It's not like recovering (or not recovering) hardware on the surface of Kerbin makes much of a difference for a challenge that effectively starts and ends in LKO.

GRS Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 K, Thanks, The Sheep v3 is like 50% done by now, it's meant to be partially reusable, maybe you can ask questions in my discussion thread up there, i also named the landers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A reusable lifter is fine, so long as you don't go using it to launch stuff halfway through the mission. Again, (because someone already got bit by this), once you leave LKO, you can't launch anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) If you're curious, that's "The Chimera" lifter that could lift like 320 tons or more like an SSTO and recover, accidentally went to KSC, it's the ascent stage of "Sheep v3", i'll make it bigger if payload ended up being over 320 tons.

From the HoloYolo thread: Here's my entry and album. It's my general use cargo spaceplane with two disposable landers (lifted separately by the spaceplane, one left in LKO for a bit). ISRU used. The contract was completed, I swapped and carried the same MK1 capsule for each landing. For kicks I did this as a "speed run", just over 9 Kerbal years to complete the mission.

GRS Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) @IncongruousGoat Up there is a good entry, he didn't get the spot from previous thread like what happened to @Kergarin earlier, but that entry right above me is in fact...above 1.4.

Are you referring to my old attempt for this challenge in 1.0.4? Sorry for the bad video, was my first ever Burn times of several hours realtime due to the high part count and slow performance back then.

IncongruousGoat Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share Posted February 21, 2019 @iAMtheWALRUS Congratulations on completing the Ultimate Challenge! Sorry it took me so long to get around to reviewing your entry; my life got taken over by a sudden bout of classwork. I'm particularly impressed by that spaceplane of yours. Can land everywhere except Tylo and Eve, can glide at 51 m/s without stalling, can travel anywhere in the system with cargo... And you completed the contract, and did the whole thing in under 10 in-game years. Very well done. Your entry has been added to the hall of fame, and... oh, I see you've already claimed the badge. Mount it in your sig with pride; you've earned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted this last summer in the then current thread but the moderator never reviewed it and I got tired of waiting. Thanks for making me all official-like!

You don't need the contract to complete the challenge anymore (see the challenge rules for further elaboration), but if you really want it, there's a link to it in the first continuation thread (https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/145204-the-ultimate-challenge-originally-by-just-jim/). That link will give you a .zip archive which contains a text file and a persistent.sfs. Make a new save, then overwrite its persistent.sfs with the one in the archive. That will give you an empty career save with the contract and 10 million funds (which should be more than enough). Again, though, you don't need it, and it's easier to just start up a sandbox game and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRS Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 So, far, i have found 2 issues in this 1.7 : 1.Eve Lander can't survive re-entry. 2.Laythe Lander can't remain stable during ascent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Update, only Eve Lander entry that needs to be fixed, Laythe Lander's pretty much fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
