mikethete Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) For too long the kerbal race has been bound to kerbain, Now is the time to expand into the stars.

soranno Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 while I know what a `bridge` is, in the sense of a ship., what constitutes a bridge for this challenge? a command pod?also, what constitutes a `power core`? as unless you are running ion drives or kethane converters or something, any ship will be at maximum electric charge permanently with 2 RTGs. when you say capacity, do you mean kerbals or fuel or what. and how is it to be judged viable? a deltaV stat, or balance etc? additionally, you say 6 engine modules. Does that mean 6 engine parts, or can I have 6 separate modules with like 8 engines on each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temstar Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The challenge seems rather prescribe in terms of ship design. Why not just "the mission is to send 200 guys to Low Laythe Orbit, knock yourselves out" and let those who want to take up the challenge try to figure out the layout of the ship?

Whatshtisthis Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Say, what if we launched the whole ship in 1 go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sal_vager Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Sorry but the scoring system is completely lacking on this one, is it all down to your judgement or what?And the restrictions on modules? C'mon we want some freedom to build!This challenge needs a rethink, don't forget the challenge guidelines at the top of the challenge section as well Closing!
