OrbitusII Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 My new plane, designed relatively well compared to my typical designs, supposed to be an SSTO.Knocked the tail off after taking off, then glided for about 10km. As it turns out, it's a great glider so long as you set the throttle up one small notch and the trim correctly.Unfortunately, MechJeb accidentally put it into a slow, painful flatspin. My only choice was to crash it into the water of the bay north of KSC instead of gliding to the land just past the bay. Johncas bailed at the last 30 seconds of the plane's life, but stuck on the cockpit until it hit the water. Johncas, you persistent little Kerbal, I'll be sure to promote you from VR test pilot to actual pilot for handling this maniacal plane so well.

Sapphire Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Firing up my new KSC-based refinery to feed off a big deposit under the space center. Although I'm gonna have to move it, because it's lagging all my launches really badly. But I tolerate it. For now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I'm gonna have to move it, because it's lagging all my launches really badly. But I tolerate it. For now.Remember reading a forum ages back where some guy did all his missions using only kethane fuel he harvested. I.e. he edited all his tanks to contain zero fuel and had to fill them up manually before launch. He did get very frustrated when a launch failed though.

Sapphire Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Loving those caterpillars too, huh?Yes and no. I've bitten the bullet and moved it, but the treaded vehicle has a top speed of 1.3m/s, so it took forever to get far enough away to not lag future launches. I'd love the speed on them to be boosted some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyromaniacal Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Well, that's just the giant set. Those tiny ones can go at about 10m/s on the Münar surface, with unparalleled stability, and being able to set the throttle makes those long hauls less tedious.

This envelope is carrying 460 tons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the inside and outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tw1 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) These are from my new Home For Retired Kerbalnaughts. Such a thing exists, I assure you.It sits in the island in middle of the giant crater, which needs a cool name like Krakentoa.

DarthJazno Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'm sure it's been done, but awhile back while I was assembling the latest and greatest rocket, and attaching the lower stages, this happened. Since my work was lost since the last save, I decided to just take it out to the pad. Jeb seems excited.It bounced in the middle quite a bit, so I decided to light the candles.Then I believe by force of habit, I pressed the spacebar releasing the launch clamps. Jebediah was not amused.Out of the fireball, Jeb lives on.Fly safe, indeed.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokmo Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) A Refueling ship attached to my somewhat huge attempt at an interplanetary ship.(The refueler itself could probably do the job lol)Jeb's in command! Almost crashed into it when i brought him in... A little hommage to Scott Manly's work, landed on Minmus with a lander that looks very much like what he uses in his reusable space program.And a giant kethane rover! which i will redo very soon simply because Kethane 0.5 has a new part that can mine 4 times as much with only 3 times the power need of the original drill Edited June 13, 2013 by Mokmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaios Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Kerbal newb, here. Placed an object in orbit for the first time today. It's the docking station for what will be my interplanetary ship.It ain't much, but I'm proud of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
