By the way guys, as my blood pressure is up and my nerves inflamed and on the outside, do you mind compressing your images to jpegs instead? These multi-MB png cause a "slight hesitation" when switching pages. For me KSP works completely fine in Windows 10. What was the big problem?

MrWolf83 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Started Designing a new Mun Base that will modular and hopefully mobile when I'm finished with her. Here is the first piece I'm sending up and will be in a holding orbit until all peices are in orbit and I've found out where I want to set up shop. I chose this as my first piece due to its odd shape and size. It took me a few launches to get it into second atmosphere let alone orbit, due to weight distribution and drag. Ended up with multiple different variations lifter to get up there stable. Sweet shot of separation In Orbit of Mun!!!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choctofliatrio2.0 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I started my youtube channel, and immediately ran into some problems. I tried to record KSP, but whenever I record video, my speaking gets all scrambled and messed up. Still not sure why this is happening :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't know anything about it. That wasn't my problem. My problem was that Windows 10 didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frybert Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) No pictures, but I failed another 7 attempts to land on the Moon in RP-0. This has simply made me more determined however. Edit: My auto-correct is now automatically changing 'Moon' to 'Mun'. Edited March 10, 2016 by Frybert auto correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had nothing but nightmares when I did an upgrade instead of a clean install. Both in my work as a software dev and in my personal undertakings. Upgrade is just flat out not stable when it comes to Windows 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upgrade is just flat out not stable when it comes to Windows 10. I've had mostly good success with the upgrade process. In our house, out of three Win7 computers, two upgraded without hassle (except that one of them had problems with the printer drivers at first). The third one, my own workstation of course, was the one that was difficult. Win10's upgrade apparently isn't smart enough to deal with the NTFS log growing large on the hidden boot partition, so you have to manually jump through a bunch of hoops to fix that, and then re-try the upgrade. And then it finally went smoothly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

storm_soldier2377 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I just built my first base outside the Kerbin system — on Dune. As I don't have many hours of time on my hands at the moment, I did all the work in one trip by descending the both modules and the rovers with one skycrane. The orbital scan was also done in the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconiator Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 First half of the Ion-sub mission is finished. This is Ion Station Alpha. I put it in Minmus orbit to service small space probes on the way to Duna. Another just like it (Ion Station Zulu) is going to orbit Ike.

You can even stack a bunch of them together and pick up a couple rescues at once. If you put on chutes set to pop at 0.7 atm, they'll open right around 2000m. This way you can arm them before you separate the stack and, as long as everyone stays within physics range of each other, all the passenger pods can make an automatic water landing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSgt Baloo Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Kerbal Space Agency's latest rocket has golden onion domes for nosecones. When asked what effect this will have on performance, one Engineer was heard to say "Not a whole lot, but they sure look cool, huh?"

Francois424 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Today I continued roving on Moho... decided to take a break here with the nice sunset : Turning around and looking the other way... That's one hell of a (Mo)Hole ! So far Both Eve and Moho had really interesting North Poles. I really need to continue exploring these Planets/Moons to see what's on theirs ! Final far out shot of the Mohole before I head home with this crew (My rover is the tiny white dot on the north crater wall, right in the middle): And that Wraps Moho exploration for the moment... My rover was pretty good, but the small drill converter eats too much ore. Will try to re-design the rover with the large ISRU instead. Having my rover fly by using it's 4 twitch engines aimed at the ground really helped getting over some canyons/mountains that would have been a royal pain. Was quite fun. Good evening y'all !

MagicFireCaster Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Went to Bop and landed, also escaped jool and the crew of Interplanetary Mothership Blissey is getting home safe! One of my best missions so far, to bad the wasn't enough delta-v to complete the Explore Tylo contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukeknockout Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I landed a probe on the Mun! Technically. Considering it was meant to then take off and return to Kerbin...Yeah, some redesign or pilot retraining miiiight be necessary. The core was still active and it managed to transmit a temperature scan, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconiator Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Ion Station Zeta is finally heading to the Duna system! I had to upgrade it due to technical limitations with Alpha, but this one will orbit Ike when she gets there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearless Son Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) I had the idea of trying to make a "flying wing" type aircraft bouncing around in my head for a while, so I sat down to make it a reality. I present to you, the Boomawing! A couple of notes on this design: flying wings are hard to make a reliable control setup for, but I knew that going in. That is why so few of them are made in reality, though the concept itself is sound. The difficulty was that a B2 style "saw blade" control surface set up would not work in KSP, as I would have needed some way to customize the function of each individual control surface. However, A.I.R.B.R.A.K.E.S. can be used as control surfaces, albeit drag heavy ones when deployed, but they add very little drag when flying normally. As for actually flying, it lifts really well and has excellent endurance thanks to its generous fuel capacity in the wings feeding into a single Panther engine. The craft has very poor roll authority, but excellent yaw authority, and this does sometimes lead to the humorous condition of the plane "sliding" sideways through the air like a street racer drifting around a corner. Fortunately a quick jet from the Panther's afterburner brings the prograde vector back in front of the nose. I doubt anyone will be pulling tricks in it, but if it were ever put to military use it would be better served by minimizing its change in flight path and taking advantage of its stealth characteristics. Still, it proved the concept and looked cool doing it, so I had fun. Edited March 11, 2016 by Fearless Son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
