I love those spindly motherships in LKO before a mission starts. So much potential! I need to go interplanetary now that Breaking Ground has given us things to find. I blame JNSQ for making Kerbin's SOI so much harder to escape from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My orbiter also had a Sentinel telescope for asteroid scanning and an orbital scanner. But most important: I had way to much delta v for the mission so i changed to a polar orbit and back to maximise science All in all: A successful mission. You really are so Good at Gathering Science, While I don't wanna restrain myself with bringing too many stuff, You should have things going smoother on you... Should be able to Pull off Sheepollo (Joolpollo) with over 100 Experiments...No ISRU (And what are you guys Glaring at, if you do) Edited June 25, 2019 by GRS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No more Paranoid, lets do the other 3 Peacefully but with as Much Science as Possible, Just Laythe and Tylo might be over Twice of Mohollo in Science gain, Then the other 3 Must reach 9000 or more after All are Summed, will also dip to Joolar Low Atmo for an Oberth Burn. If you ever wonder what Took All the Stuff...Here's The "Sheepollo", with 8000 Tons and 560-ish Parts, It's the Second Largest Actually working Rocket I've made, That my Far Outdated Pentium with 6 Gigs and 2.9 Ghz Struggled a lot even when KSP is the only thing Running in My PC.

GRS Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) @jost, Seriously dude...Try to be more Active, Post some Status Reports or Something... Status Report : Landed on Vall's Pole with 139 Science Experiments, waiting to perform Ascent...Mother-Sheep in a Polar orbit with Simone, Jeb and Bill waiting for it (Jeb Landed on Tylo, Val Landed on Laythe and Vall, Bill will Land on Pol and Simone will land on Bop, Bob Lands on all Moons), I should be able to Finish Today.

jost Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Sorry. I was quite busy at work. Finished Mohopollo. Turned out to be quite tedious since I used ions to boost my delta-v. In the end I returned to Kerbin and had enough delta-v to transfer to mun and minmus to harvest science from the gravity sensor. After splashdown I had enough science to unlock the remaining nodes of the tech tree. Today evening I will upload the screenshots. Yesterday I was way to tired for sorting the mess in imgurl. @GRS What's your progress with Jool5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRS Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) @jost, Cool... Just finished my Jool 5 with a Satisfying result...it went over what i expect, also Jool 5 should've got easier with your Tech, though There's still Eve...

GRS Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) @5thHorseman Sheepollo/Joolollo Full Album here. --PROGRESS-- Kerpollo (64.7 Science Points) Munpollo (227 Science Points) Minpollo (570.2 Science Points) Dunpollo (1881 Science Points) Eeloollo (1804.8 Science Points) Mohollo (2780.6 Science Points) Purrpollo (1024.1 Science Points) Sheepollo (14415.5 Science Points) One To go...

Out of Likes...Yikes... Also...yes, I'm quite good at making Narrations, though I have no idea why...Also...Do your Mission Seriously, a Half-@$$ed Mission will only Succeed if you're Skilled enough, a Serious Mission can be done even if you're not that Skilled, and I wasn't Half-@$$ing, all of those should be a good Motivation.

GRS Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I'll see how Over-Engineered Gigapollo (Drespollo) will be, will try digging as Many Legal Science as Possible from Dres and Science from other bodies, Gonna **** my Pentium so hard LOL. @FloppyRocket, Got anything to ask about Evepollo ??? I know some tips to improve (For The Lander LOL) I forgot something... Purrpollo Sheepollo (Ignore that Mk2) Both are SSTO Capable.
