Kevin_kerman Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 (edited) Kerbol is dying, in a last chance for survive, the entire Kerbal race has started to construct a massive interstellar colony ship capable of sustaining 1000 Kerbals for up to 400 years, they have sent multiple probes to find some habitable choices, they believe that they have found that planet, Kory, a habitable moon orbiting that massive gas giant Poly, has been chosen because of its very close proximity of a ton of recources, they believe that they can go there and set up a suitable place to live and work, they have found wormholes, but the ship is simply to massive to safely pass through. Kargatua;Poly Centuri is the mod that adds Kory, thanks to me for creating that Post your interstellar colony challenge submissions here Edited December 29, 2024 by Kevin_kerman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse 32 Posted December 2, 2024 Share Posted December 2, 2024 (edited) looking forward to the fireworks- i mean rocket launches! build a colony in a different star system WITHOUT using a hyperdrive, warp drive, jump drive, or any other sort of FTL travel, and post images here! no hyperedit, as well. use any mods you like, but no FTL until you have gotten there at sublight. film the sublight trip nonstop, from launch from kerbin to landing on the alien world, and post the FULL VIDEO on reddit and YT. timewarp allowed. tell the group what world and star system you're heading for. send mp4 video files to my main email at oserichard11@gmail.com. wormholes are allowed in baby and easy modes. BABY MODE: idc just get there at sublight EASY* MODE: 300 kerbals to the system, and use UMB (life support, sanity, ect.) HARD MODE: easy mode, but 500 kerbals, and your ship must be AT LEAST 1 km in length. PAIN MODE: hard mode, but 1000 kerbals, and with chemical rockets only WHY??? MODE: pain mode, but 5000 kerbals, at least a five km long ship, and with ONE STOCK ION DRIVE ONLY Edited December 13, 2024 by Eclipse 32 edited into the rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eclipse 32 Posted December 3, 2024 Share Posted December 3, 2024 ok! please give a list of all planned craft for this mission. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_kerman Posted December 3, 2024 Author Share Posted December 3, 2024 The only parts that will be on the colony ship will be a scout rover, miners, the basecore, and some crew ferry's there will also be a ton of supplies,material kits, specialized parts, and fertilizer the ship will also have around 20-40 relay satellites and resource scanners there will also be a cargo ssto to get material kits and specialized parts, the base will be able to make almost anything you need. 1 hour ago, Eclipse 32 said: ok! please give a list of all planned craft for this mission. The Defiant will be the colony ship Arco 1,2,3, and 4 will be the rovers CP-11 "Roc" will be the giant cargo ssto Hope, Fate, and Destiny are the 3 crew transports The main base will be Weir base, capable of creating anything that the Kerbals need The Defiant will house the space station Treck 1 Reach will be a satellite made on Kevin that will explore the rest of the system this is all that I have planned now, more will come there will be other more long distance rovers, but I haven't named those yet. I will not be naming the relay satellites, for obvious reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eclipse 32 Posted December 3, 2024 Share Posted December 3, 2024 *squint* "Weir" base...? why do i get the feeling that the shared name with Dragonriders of Pern ain't a coincidence...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin_kerman Posted December 3, 2024 Author Share Posted December 3, 2024 no its named after Andy weir, who wrote "The Martian", "Project Hail Mary", and "Artemis", he is one of my favorite writers, and he writes about space, fitting name in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
