Fastest stock no cheat acceleration record

[Ezzz322]

I have recently been experimenting with the. Kal-1000 controller from the breaking ground dlc and am wondering what the record is for the fastest constant acceleration. My craft which is highly optimised can accelerate at over 20000Gs of force or in other words 203000 meters per second squared. Does anyone know if anyone has done better?

And it only uses two ion engines. Sadly this version requires part clipping with the batteries and xenon tanks closer to the center of mass to stay stable. But I have another version which doesn’t need this but accelerates a little slower at a little over 18000Gs. Either way they both are very fast and can get to the speed of light in under 30 minutes.

Yes I achieved 203001 m/s using a craft powered by my own sense of self satisfaction.

KAL overclocking is a cheat in my opinion, as it's not available to all KSP players and is definitely not intended behavior

How could it be a cheat? I mean its not like Danny 2462 or someone similar uses this exact method...oh wait...

Agree. Same as docking port drives or K-drives. There’s a big grey area there but things that break the fundamental gameplay are definitely not in it anymore.

Which isn’t to say that playing with these exploits can’t be fun. I made a K-drive flying saucer once, it was a lot of fun to make it, and I could easily do the Grand Tour with that, but what would be the point?

I agree with everyone that this is most definitely an exploit. But it is fun to mess around with. It took me a while to optimise and it can be hard to work with. So yeah, I definitely am not going to be breaking any records and still be able to say no « cheats ». Although When I said I wasn’t using any in my original message I meant no infinite fuel or un breaking parts cheats. With cheats inabled I got to 150000+ Gs. Long story short I just though it was a cool concept and I hadn’t seen it pushed this far online so I was wondering if anyone had.
