Guest Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm sure the root-cause analysis report on the failure read like most other Kerbal RCA reports. "Um..... oops!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NuclearWarfare Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm horrid at trying to make an SSTO. I'm going to make a reusable shuttle. Much easier.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

viktorserecros Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Guess which one is excited to get off Mun after 187 days and which one just arrived.(Hint: Lander is out of fuel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custard Donut (In Space) Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Guess which one is excited to get off Mun after 187 days and which one just arrived.(Hint: Lander is out of fuel).Lol You could take it the other way around as well, the sad one could be the guy that's been there for many months, the happy guy excited by seeing the Mun hehe.

Vanamonde Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I'm attempting to put the core of my new interplanetary design in orbit, but I'm about to get homicidal with frustration. You see that boom on the right? It has no working parts, but I want it as a visual marker of which way is ship-up during docking. But 6 gimballed engines, 3 SAS, and an ASAS are absolutely, completely, utterly unable to keep the thing flying straight after the air gets too thin for the 6 canards at the bottom. You can see that the launch vehicle masses somewhere around 240 mass units, while that boom only masses 0.591. Yet the ship CANNOT maintain heading unless I add a counterweight of the same mass and around the same length on the other side. But if I put a similar boom on the other side, it completely loses its value as a visual marker, so after struggling with the thing for an hour, I've decided to mount an identical boom on the other side, on a docking ring, so I can kick it off once the thing is in orbit. Oddly, I've found that ASAS can handle significantly asymetrical loads once in space, if you simply apply thrust in increments instead of all at once, so I think it will be okay there. I just have to battle it up there in the first place. Aargh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you can put it away after you are done using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROFLCopter64bit Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Or, you could just replace the satellite dishes with antennas, and extend the antennas on the "ship up" side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rryy Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 As I was driving northeast towards a Kethane deposit on the Mun, I noticed a large white beacon and arch to the east, roughly in the direction I was going:The beacon appears to go across the sky and back towards where my Mun base is.

Awaras Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Sometimes when you switch out of map view, the game 'forgets' to delete the orbit lines. Just go back to the map view and out again and it should clear up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
