What version of KSP and mods are you using? These are some lovely screenshots.

Thank you! I currently use 1.9.1 for all my installs, but actually I have a mixture of mods. I currently have two main installs. One is for my ongoing mission report, One Small Step (link in signature). The other install is a classic modded KSP install.  The 'classic KSP' install has my usual assortment of 50 or two mods, but the main ones are: Restock, Restock+, All of Nertea's mods, Realplume, Planetshine, Distant Object Enhancement (Continued), EVE, Scatterer, and KS3P, with the amazing Spectra visual pack. KS3P (A forked version of it for 1.9.1) uses Zorg's configs. I don't use TUFX, because my mac doesn't support it. The install I use for One Small Step is basically the same as the 'classic KSP' install, but it's running JNSQ and the visuals that come with it, plus BDB. Honestly, I don't quite know how my Macbook Pro handles it all, but it give me a playable, if not decent 40 fps. I hope that answers your questions!

Sorry for not being very creative for the captions, but honestly what are you supposed to do to make it exciting? 'Prospector 2 arrives at the Mun after an arduous journey, finally finding a gigantic Munar rock from the Formation era.'

yes. 
Honestly though, that’s the kind of writing I do in school. Slapping on ALL the adjectives

I concur, the addition of adjectives most certainly enhances the reader's perspective of that text.

Where'd that come from? Did you bring it with you?

Well, I did bring the science with me. I couldn't actually bring the Hab because I don't have KIS and launching another mission just to do that would be a pain, so I cheated it there. Theoretically though, they could have done it as the lander has enough storage capacity, I just don't have KIS on this install. Next mission I'm sending 2 crafts, a dedicated crew section and a habitat and rover section.

Looks like I've been neglecting this thread.. for nearly 6 months. Time flies. School, homework, excuses, yada yada yada. I think it's about time I start this again, with renewed drive, energy, and passion to actually do stuff, instead of just sitting around, twiddling my fingers, and claiming to be 'waiting for the transfer window'.

A lot has happened. I've gotten a new Macbook Pro (the M1 chip is absolutely INSANE), and now for the first time I have actual graphics, and, KSP is actually playable and not a slideshow anymore!

I've also made some changes to my long running save, the KEC, or Kerbal Exploration Corps. Spectra has now been replaced by AVP (It was nice, but I never really liked how Kerbin was pink and how everything was do dark), I've installed Waterfall (but kept Realplume for those extra plumes) and I've removed a bunch of mods that I didn't even remember I had installed and I didn't use, like Trajectories (turns out rendering the trajectories really decreased performance, even on the M1) and some other mods that I forgot about.

So before I get into the image spam as usual, I'd like to make one (small) change. I'm no longer going to write the little captions for the screenshots (because they usually turned kinda badly, and I post context in other places anyway). If you need context for these screenshots, I usually post them in my discord server, (link in the spoiler below), or on the WDYDIKSPT thread, since I feel like this has pretty much become the 'Misguided spams pretty screenshots thread'. Anyways, without further ado, here we go!

I can't spam showcase all of the pictures I'd like to on the WDYDIKSPT thread (As much as I'd like then not to, images take time to load. Maybe I should start putting stuff in spoilers.) Anyways I've been quite busy continuing work on Homestead base.

Ah yes E N G I N E. Enjoy that sweet sweet radiation.

Astronomer's terrain looks absolutely gorgeous. I'm quite pleased with the location I chose last time, as this crater is incredibly scenic. 

This shot is reminiscent of one of my 'originals'

Extreme zoom in/out are great. Perspective means a lot.

Even with Mechjeb, you can't land them perfectly where you want them. Turns out that the RCS thrusters on this are very weak. However, with enough coaxing I did move it to the proper, intended position (Yes, I had to do it for each one, even the first. Yes, it was pain.)

Spoiler

This happened and I have no idea what it is supposed to be.

Okay maybe a bit too much zoom...

I also tested a new HLV. Ultimately turned out to be a flop, but it looked great. (Guess what this was inspired by)

Vacuum needs ore too!!

And last but not least, something more successful. 

Ah yep S P E E D

Spoiler

Okay... not that successful. But close enough.

This is what happens when you try and.. well. Maybe I shouldn't have clipped so many MP tanks inside.

 

I also designed a thing and I am kinda proud of it. Obviously, inspired by The Martian. I finally got a paper copy after re-reading the online version twice, and watching the movie 3 times. The Martian is great.

I haven't used the Rhea pod since the Icarus. I've been needing an excuse to use it.

The thuds broke the delta-v readout.

Nothing much, but screenshot tax must be paid:

Spoiler

Plumes. I love plumes.

This shot I am proud of. Finally managed to capture that moment of separation.

 

Anyway, excuse the mediocre screenshots, these are all in preparation for more Homestead base! Cleanup and chores have to be done.
