If you save and then reload (pretty hard in hard mode, probably needs a game reload) then it might have worked? Strange that the fuel feed was clearly working but resource transfer was not.

It doesn’t matter if the crew survives or not, it’s not like they’re your two surviving Original Four or anything- wait…

So, to sum up:

  • Didn’t deploy the parachutes properly;
  • Didn’t use the fuel from the engine to slow down, dodge the cliff and get more power;
  • Decided to bail out of a rolling craft when the lander can is probably the sturdiest part of the craft and actually survived unscathed;
  • Killed another orange suit.

Ironically enough, just keeping the two crafts together would have been far safer. Also ironically, Bellein (a.k.a. Val) has managed to survive the whole series so far instead of the usual third episode fatality due to parachutes opening too late/not at all.

Why not do long-duration time warps in the tracking station instead? Less strobe-y and more interesting than looking at the very zoomed in side of a rocket.

 

The Jool 3 was still completely salvageable, just do the transfer burn an orbit later and you’d still be OK to do at least some of the mission with a tanker or ISRU support ship to make up the difference and/or clever gravity assists. Why you created a perfectly good Jool transfer and then spent ten minutes making it worse is beyond me…

So somehow the 22 minute burn time and the fact that it was pointing more retrograde than prograde didn’t register, and you thought just pointing at the node and firing the engine was a good idea!?

Point PROGRADE :prograde: and accelerate around he planet (not into it!) then do a course correction later once you’re clear of Moho’s SOI.
