numerobis Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I wonder if that particular breed of kraken is associated with KAC. I had that happen when I switched to my Eeloo probe last week using KAC. I quit the game right away and when I reloaded all was well again when I selected the ship through the tracking station.I've gotten it in pure stock, no mods at all I restarted a career when Jeb walked out of a pod on the launchpad and got krakened to death.

numerobis Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I sent two Kerbals to minmus in my "S"STO.Unfortunately, one of them got excited about the potential for long-distance travel under EVA jets, forgetting that while falling doesn't hurt, landing does.One Kerbal had a nearly flawless landing back at KSC.Javascript is disabled.

xub313 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I did some tests on the viability of large scale ion propulsion. I wasn't expecting it to be practical at all but it worked surprisingly well. The goal was to leave Kerbin's SOI and retrieve a satellite in Kerbolar oribt.The solar panel wings need work and it needs better attitude control.Unfortunately I got a null ref and had to terminate the flight . I'll build an upscaled version for class A asteroids soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantab Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Soooooo much timewarping. Gravity assists in the inner system are fine and dandy, but when you need to make several Jool transfer orbits to get the encounter it's gonna take a while.

Enclose Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 After ages of only messing around in the Kerbin system I finally made a ship (probe, really) to go check out other planets. Duna and Ike have no secrets for me anymore!I also sent a probe to Eve, but after time-warping to get to the rendezvous point the game crashed and the entire probe just vanished. Vanished! I think there might be an interplanetary version of the Bermuda triangle somewhere around Eve...No big deal for most of you, but finally reaching another planet is still quite an exciting achievement for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman4308 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Slowing down: not check If you're using FAR/NEAR: S-turns and air brakes are your friend. Stock aero: I would consider vertical S-turns or loops at lowish altitude.As for myself: after having to restart my 6.4x career for mod issues, I launched Vokshod II into polar orbit, and after a successful 12-hour orbital mission, came down at the poles after a rather awkward reentry.

BJ Quest Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I did a test flight for a large two stage lander I put together about a week ago.

Norpo Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Scratched up enough science from doing test contracts to get the Gravity Science Module (whatever it's called), and I made a flag for my upcoming mission to Jool, the main ship will be the K.S.V (kerbal space vessel) Green Halnie.(aka I found some clipart on google and put it together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astropapi1 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Did some spaceplane testing (inspired by TheWinterOwl). Flying planes with FAR and in 6.4x Kerbin is hard as hell.Equivalent Airspeed, Mach effects, high-speed maneuvers, and gliding. I'm going to learn a lot from that little fellow.

electronicfox Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I sent my Quadcopter drone to Duna to test its capabilities. Dunas atmosphere is rather thin, so it needed almost full throttle to maintain its altitude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWEdeadman Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 I just landed Jeb's Mun-pub next to my Mun base on my stream: The light is a bit buggy, but I still like it. All stock 0.25, by the way, in case you were wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_G Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Today i created the MARV-II out of its now decommissioned predecessor MARV-I. The "Mostly-Automatic-Rescue-Vehicle" Mk. II performed well and reached an 80km LKO on SRBs alone with a final boost of its LV-909 LFO engine for circularization. It had plenty of delta V left and it was confirmed that it can easily do any rescue mission around Kerbin or even the Mün and Minmus if necessary.Top row (left to right): The MARV-II under construction - MARV II on the launch pad - LaunchingRow 2 - 4 (top to bottom): A few seconds till MECO - Fairings away - MARV II in stable equatorial orbit....and i did a little excursion to one of the Mün-Archs, close to my permanent Mün base. I tried to reach it with a rover, but i had to cancel the mission and go up using the brand new Ferret Mk.I science lander. Bill and Jerlin were quite happy, reaching the destination, after their failed attempt with the rover.Top - Bill and Jerlin returning from their failed attempt to reach the strange object by rover. It was simply too dangerous.Middle - Jerlin enjoying the view from the top of the Ferret Mk. I while Bill plants a flag at the anomaly, identified as one of those strange Mün-Archs.Bottom - All safe and in place back at Münar Camp I.

cantab Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 After a 25-year mission criss-crossing the system, my pair of probes reached their penultimate destination of Jool. And for the second time, despite their routes having wildly diverged, they reached their destination at relatively similar times.Now for one the course is already set for Eeloo, its last target and completing the flyby grand tour. The other shall be sent plunging into the fires of the Sun itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
