most dull thing in KSP?

[llamatoes]

I would have to say my most dull moment was having to sit through a NERVA burn to get a full orange tank to Jool, that was dull. I'd have to say, but I had Iggy Pop to make it worth it.

[sadron]

Iggy Pop makes it worth it? ;p

[Vespasianus]

Is Iggy Pop a candy?

Anyways, the most dull thing I've done in KSP was when I drove one of my rovers 50 kilometers because I overshot my landing (it was on the mun).

[Felsmak]

Low orbit around Gilly. Definitely.

[PDCWolf]

I remember having an orange tank with only one NERVA and 4 probes docked to it through a docking ring. I took that thing to Eve.

On top of that, I forgot to put one of those small x16 tanks on the bottom, so not only it took loads of PE kicks because of the TWR, but also because I had to burn at mid throttle or less to avoid overheating.

[Jokurr]

Launches, mainly because it’s something I’ve done countless times. I turn on mechjeb and read a book now.

[SoldierHair]

The music i think

[RoboRay]

Real-time mission to Jool.

I'll let you know when I get there, sometime around January.

[llamatoes]

Good luck, I am doing four more Jool missions in the same launch window.

I remember someone getting to the moon in under 15 minutes on the mission clock in a challenge that was wiped in The Purge... I imagine making a massive nuclear powered vessel to get somewhere fast might be worthwhile. After all, Aerobraking fixes everything. I built a ship with ~20k m/s dV and burned it out in about 10 minutes. It had 9 nukes.

Forget that, actually it's trying to get Mechjeb to fly my hybrid Jet-Nuke SSTOs for me. Of course, with me turning off the jets.

[Warscribe]

burning sun-orbit with the ion engine.

Also:

worst. orbit. ever. waiting 530 days on the minmus intercept

[andysim212]

the load screen. mine takes ages due to so many parts lol.

[JaySmoka]

Definitively the music

[Scotius]

Watching ISA Map-probes fill the screen sliver by sliver. Orbit after orbit. Even on 50x timewarp it takes ages. And you can't leave it and switch to another craft.

[katateochi]

Low orbit around Gilly. Definitely.

I quite enjoyed a low orbit round Gilly, but then I did spice it up a bit. Jeb jumped out of the craft and Jetpacked ahead as fast as he could (using ~1/3 of his eva pack fuel) and then landed on a hill. The craft had been pointed to just skim past the hill and as it approached Jeb lept up and Jetpacked back up to speed (possible on gilly as you can orbit at low speeds). Almost got run over by the approaching craft but he's Jeb, he pulled it off.

The music i think

second, turned it off after a day of it first being added, never looked back.

Real-time mission to Jool.

I'll let you know when I get there, sometime around January.

You masochist!! do you have a dedicated machine for it?

that and kethane hunting, line by equally thin line. I tend to leave it running overnight or when I go out.

tbh thou, there is rarely a dull moment in KSP, if something is dull then I've not packed enough whoopie(dV) into it so I redesign.

[LeonG17]

Trying to adjust my orbits using a single Poodle engine.

[RoboRay]

You masochist!! do you have a dedicated machine for it?

LOL, no, just joking.

[Barklight]

Trying to adjust my orbits using a single Poodle engine.

De-orbiting a lifter using only 2 lateral RCS thrusters because I forgot to put some fuel into it after achieving orbit and decoupling the station module.

Other than waiting on MapSat scans or Kethane scans, since they were already stated.

[llamatoes]

I'd say that I like the slog of KSP, call me a masochistic Stockholm syndrome case, but I think it adds all the fun, If you could just have your Space station around Jool, where would be the fun?

[SecondGuessing]

The moment ten seconds after successfully achieving something you've been trying to do for ages. There's a brief euphoria and then you think, 'Oh, there's nothing to do on the Mun...'.

[llamatoes]

Agreed, but that is one of the most amazing things I felt in gaming.

[Panzerbeard]

Anyways, the most dull thing I've done in KSP was when I drove one of my rovers 50 kilometers because I overshot my landing (it was on the mun).

Yeaahp, I just had to do that with my first manned rover, I missed my target LZ by some 35km. Fortunately I could go about 40m/s-ish, so it didn't take too long

[Enture]

Right after v0.18 was released, I decided to try the brand new ion engine... by sending a probe to Moho.

"Not too much of a big deal", you might think... Yeah, but to top it off, I didn't know there were keyboard shortcuts for physics time-warp, and I hadn't attached enough solar panels on my probe.

The result was a 3-and-a-half-hour-long, uneventful, very, very, very dull flight, until I finally entered a stable Moho orbit. I've learned how to use physics time-warp properly since then, so now I enjoy the ion engines again, but the memory of that flight is still vivid.

[Matticus88]

tbh, I think the Mun is quite dull. Nothing but greyness everywhere, and the "features" on the Mun get boring quickly.
