I like the new kerbs. The best kerbal name I've gotten is Tedhat.

Triop · September 21, 2018

ALL ABOARD !

Although the rookie did good, we are letting Jeb fly home.

Dusty ~~desert~~ dunes . . . *KUCH*

Nice and slow.

HOME.

No more flying (I hope), lets get wet.

The last task:

- ~~get ashore for refueling.~~

- ~~Send in a tanker plane.~~

- ~~Refuel Lucky Ferry~~

- ~~Send in a 2 seater taxi plane..~~

- ~~take fuel from taxi plane using the tanker plane.~~

- ~~Refuel Lucky Ferry some more.~~

- ~~Fly the tanker home.~~

- ~~Fly Jeb and Naked Kerman home in the taxi plane.~~

- send Val and Bill on their way on the Lucky Ferry.

Let's hope it will be safe and boring. ^_^

Sorry for the dark pictures, it's night. . . O, and did you know TBC means "to be continued" and is not a signature ?

Getting close, finally ! ! !

33+ m/s, please don't go flying . . . :lol:

Next up: find a safe shore to dock.

Wow, this game is leaving a lot of hardware around Kerbin.

'Course, it's kind of amazing you can do all those rough-field landings and still take off from most of them.

And it's too bad it wasn't Nike Kerman. Nothing wrong with having the personification of Victory.

I'm still getting my mods into shape after coming back to KSP last month. (And seeing a pile of exceptions and taking the time to make good reports to send back to the mod authors.) But I'm a bit alarmed at the flexing just from fuel in Lucky Ferry II. Had flashbacks to the crazy rubbery joints of KSP 0.23 when I started with the game. Almost made me quit. (And some people liked them....<shudder>)

Indeed. That's just over 64 knots. Now I'm wondering what speed you could get to with a proper hydrofoil....

EDIT: Oh. My. Damn.

So I just told him to make it out of non-lift-producing materials and he didn't listen.....

Hey @dundun93 , can you please remove the pictures from your last quoted post ?

It's kinda blocking my last post and might confuse new viewers.

I don't mind comments guys, in fact, post them, but please don't repost/quote pictures I already posted.

Hope you understand. ^_^

That ship is from 1940, they didn't have non-lift-producing materials back then. :lol:

You should call the next boat "not a plane" :wink:

ATTEMPT #3

Sending out Orlo Kerman.

I won't bother you with the boring trip.

I'll report back when we reached Val and Bill.

My suggestion? Use structural panels.

I think all parts generate lift......I think he should take a speed test of the boat and see how much speed it needs to fly.....then he should avoid going at that speed

Jacke · September 21, 2018

I think all parts can generate lift. But it may not be a particular speed, as it could happen at lower speeds when the fuel levels get low and the mass of the ship is near minimum. What would be needed is perhaps low-fuel load testing.

But that's all up to @Triop to decide. It is his show.

Exactly what I will do, I pushed the Lucky Ferry too hard, I've should have known better . . . :blink:

I just like the idea of doing this with an old design that basically sucks.

I want to test myself doing missions with crappy vehicles. :sticktongue:

I am taking precautions though, I've locked the front tanks to keep some balance.

DAY 3.

Orlo Kerman is doing fine btw.

I forgot, I still need to fuel Not a Plane... <_<

If this one crashes, call the next one "DEFINITELY not a plane"

I think the problem is that the poor boat whants to go to space

But we souldnt talk about that not a plane didn't crash yet

How about "Not a rocket"?

If this one crashes, I'm jumping off a cliff.

I did found an old smaller design though, maybe I'll use that as a base for a new vessel. :lol:

Anyway, getting to the refueling point ...

TBC :ph34r:

Edited September 21, 2018 by Triop

Triop · September 21, 2018

My engines stopped.

But then I remembered I locked a couple of fuel tanks. ^_^

We need to fly in some tankers, again. -_-

TBC :ph34r:

Triop · September 21, 2018

Time for refueling, we need lots of it...

I didn't care about sailing sufficient after 2 times so we lost a lot of fuel.

The old tanker is still here, but empty.

Go on Naked, go help Oslo. :lol:

TBC :ph34r:

Triop · September 22, 2018

A close call . . . :cool:

Don't go surfing . . . please . . .

Slow down !

O, HI !

CONTACT !

Now let's pump some fuel and see how we are doing.

TBC :ph34r:

Edited September 22, 2018 by Triop

September 22, 2018

In stock KSP, only wings and Mk2 parts produce lift IIRC. FAR makes all parts produce some lift.

Triop · September 22, 2018

DONE REFUELING.

We are taking Nake on board, not a drup of fuel is left on the tanker.

Can she make the jump ? :lol:

We have enough fuel to reach our destination.

Releasing the brakes end rolling into the sea.

Reverse engine turning.

On our way to rescue Val and Bill, again . . . ^_^

We are not going full speed, don't wanna go flyin again. :unsure:
