Akagi Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 We join our heroes at dawn, driving their boat past the KSC. It's time for a boat Elcano! Passing my junkyard. Why are they so scared? In the water. Setting out. The eagle eyed among you might notice that Shersey Kerman is gone. That's because he swam to shore to try to plant a flag... how would I know the boat moves at 1.8 m/s with the engines on idle? Eh, I'll pick him up eventually. Anyway, this is my entry to the Elcano Challenge, linked below. My goal is to circumnavigate all water bodies with a boat. Back to the mission, I warped to day and set off at the top speed of 31.7 m/s. Here I am heading south from the KSC. Next post coming soon!

damerell Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I suspect you'll find speed picks up as you exhaust the fuel supply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vagrant203 Posted December 18, 2022 Share Posted December 18, 2022 Is it named the Akagi though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruzer is simply too small for a name such as that. I will build a much bigger ship instead to dub Akagi! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akagi Posted December 21, 2022 Author Share Posted December 21, 2022 Cockpit view on day 2 of driving. Top speed and heading at hdg 229. Scheduled engine maintenance after 100,000 meters sailed. Here we are on the map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akagi Posted May 27 Author Share Posted May 27 Plenty of images, this one's spoilered. Spoiler KSC staff say we should rotate the crew for mental health reasons. I say we should put more Kerbals on the boat! Takeoff from the KSC First pass Second pass Fairly good landing! Crew transferred and ready to head out Group shot! Ten minutes and 20 km away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akagi Posted May 28 Author Share Posted May 28 One picture can define everything I'm doing today: 4x physwarp, pointed southwest, full throttle. Since I revived this, we've gone a long way - now over 100 km from the crash site! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
