treesniper12 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Oh no, not again! Spoiler So just how long has this "Stary Kerman" been waiting here exactly? Spoiler The red cable goes on the what connector now? Spoiler That color looks a bit like Minmus... does it also taste like mint ice-cream? Spoiler Would you look at how far we've come? It's enough to bring a tear to your eyes. Spoiler Edited June 29, 2021 by treesniper12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anth Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 The prize being US only is probably a US law requirement. I watch something called Critical Role. they can only give prizes to people in the US and Canada excluding Quebec. Probably something similar Don't take it personally.

Noname117 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Spoiler Spent several hours flying around not finding it (I wish I had brought a scansat) and actually had to have a friend find it on their save on a scanning satellite, then still couldn't fly it, had them confirm that it was it on their save, and even after having him guide me to the location I still overflew the area a couple of times before even seeing it. I kind of feel bad about posting it here since it doesn't feel legitimate, but hey, I put in the effort to get a propeller plane to Laythe safely from having not ventured beyond Duna before, so I'm still posting it for that effort alone. This was difficult to find. Not sure what I'm going to do for the others. Definitely will bring along a scanning satellite though. Spoiler I think Samny is jealous of this ride compared to his. He's even trying to drive it instead of his normal rover So, this one I planned better for. I was even building the scansat before the hint was given. I sent the scansat and lander on 2 separate launches with tons of spare dV at the right times. They launched 2 and a half hours apart and arrived 3 and a half hours apart despite a different set of maneuvers performed, particularly in regards to the Munar assist, for each craft. Unfortunately since I haven't done much with space outside of Kerbin's SOI I didn't realize the scansat needed a strong antenna or relay to actually scan, and although I could control it because the lander was always close enough for direct control it couldn't function as a relay and as such the scansat itself was effectively useless. I had to send a relay out over there, and my first try was actually going too fast to slow down. I thought getting there faster with more dV expenditure would be better, but it led to a 50 minute burn which had the spacecraft going so fast that it needed 10000 m/s of dV to slow down while only having 5000 m/s itself. Anyways, I need to make less mistakes with these hints. At least I can make a quick fix to the next scansat and get it to work. Honestly, it's weird. I'm not even sure I want a JEB plushie. I just want to do this for the fun of it, and because I watched the threads for the earlier easter eggs back when the solar system got expanded but never participated in said hunt. I guess it feels good trying this with new ones that are only *barely* spoiled. Spoiler Oppy is so small that it was really hard to spot. Another frustrating egg to find for me. Alrighty I got the kerbal there now instead of just having the reaction wheel probe. Spoiler Spoiler And now I have to admit to slightly cheating and looking at someone else's screenshot to find this. After exploring all of the possible easter eggs away from the launch sites, of course. Which included landing an aircraft designed for hypersonic speed in a mountain range. But alas, I should've been looking closer to home, and specifically at this one specific airfield which I didn't check while checking the other two despite flying aircraft from it a couple of times. Honestly, it feels like I had a lot go against me this whole egg incident, from inexperience to constant mistakes. Honestly, I'm not happy with my KSP exploration abilities after this.

Well done if you have been inspired to head beyond Duna for the first time. Peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you do not need to find all five. Each one of the five you find will get you one entry, with a max of five total entries possible.
