Shuttle Challenge v7 - The STS Thread [Stock and Mod Friendly]

[sturmhauke]

I'm not in charge anymore, but we were chatting about this a while back. With KSP2 development basically dead, some of the later missions aren't possible to complete for various reasons.

As for mission completion requirements generally, the basic idea is that later missions often require player skills learned by completing earlier missions. Shuttles are cool and we love them, but they're also more difficult to design and fly. If you try to skip ahead you may find yourself overwhelmed.

There's been some discussion of doing a v6.5 thread, where we would go back to KSP1 but add in the new missions (which was my original plan before KSP2). Nothing definite yet though.

Whatever you do, I hope you'll still allow KSP2 submissions, because I've built a shuttle in KSP2 now that I'm really happy about and I don't actually have KSP1 anymore, due to a recent father-son Steam account separation (he's gone off to college). Reading through, I'm not sure which missions you actually consider impossible in KSP2, although I can see how some of them might be significantly harder. At any rate, I'll be dropping my KSP2 STS1-2 mission here soon.

Looking forward to see what you came up with!

So is this accepting KSP1 missions? Im not sure where I would put my KSP1 stuff given V6 is closed

If there is SSTO, why do we need a shuttle?

Because shuttles are cooler
