steedcrugeon Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 I've been trying to learn to fly an SSTO so I can be better informed when I do more mod work. This is my drone SSTO-1 with Octo-Sat comms payload: I actually made this one stable enough to fly and land! still working on targeting the KSC for landings though.

I think it is the first time I've ever used them. Kind of liked them. @Sigma88 if that was YOU, I'm still in orbit awaiting April 2! Wut?

roboslacker Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Tried spaceplaning again. While I didn't get to space, I did set myself a new altitude and speed record. I finished retrieving the crew from the mun reusable lander, and launched my new lander, the Cortez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zerxal Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Finished my moon base, in a couple of days it'l be time to send the crew back to kerbin! I also brought new crew up to my space station and brought some back down. And really nothing else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerbital Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) So I had a ship returning from Dres. I was doing other things meantime. I forgot that the ship had ISRU running. There is a bug in KSP that if you leave ISRU on a ship that is simulating in the background, for a long time, it will explode when you switch back to it. And no amount of struts will help. Even KJR won't help. So I have six Kerbals now, orbiting the sun in a lone, powerless command module now. Cursed mission. So another rescue. The module doesn't even have a docking port anymore, will use the claw for the first time. Sending a vessel to pick them up. Hope they have enough snacks to make it. Edit: Yikes, the explosion threw the lone command module on a long orbit with Ap near Jool's orbit! MechJeb says ETA over a year using already tweaked engines. Cheat time.

That pic looks suspiciously like Dres... As for me, I am playing RSS size, and I finally got my latest lifter to work. Rook will put 50 tons into LEO. More than enough to send up the core of my fuel depot space station, OS Bedrich Smetana, which is 30 tons dry but add a 10 ton ( ) fairing and some fuel for good measure. I still have to make the stage separations on the lifter less explosioney though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kertech Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 So after my previous save died ( I checked for the autosave but decided that there was something rong with it anyway, something seemed to be making it buggy and crashy!) So I booted up a new game and tried out 10 times scale! My first real scale orbit, a tiny probe about 1 tonne HUGE LAUNCHER!! Tiny probe This is just to get a simple 4 tonne craft to orbit Reentry speed is about 7,500m/s so burns through a whole heat shield and then some! Then for laughs I Built a shuttle for this scale! It's ugly, can't carrymuch payload and return from orbit is hairy! I put about 6 hours into this save just to try it out. 10 times is fun, challenging, but I have a few issues with it. Mainly I feel that a lot of the stock balancing just does not hold (SRBs are a good example!) and I don't have the hardware to go full RSS/RO at the moment! This leads to the next issue, there are quite a few parts I simply did not use, and likely would never in this scale )like almost all the 1.25m equipment, that's why I made the shuttle! So yeah probably going back to 6.4, or maybe even 4 times! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah probably going back to 6.4, or maybe even 4 times! Change up to using SMURFF or other mods to get a realistic tank mass fraction. Try out SaceY for solids. Cryoengines are good for midgame. If you are not running FAR atmosphere is a bit soupy too. My machine is not great either but its all doable. I just leave off all the eye candy mods. I used the 1.25m stuff a lot for early manned stuff and return craft. Manned return from Venus was one place I can't imagine not using that scale. RO/RP-0 is great but its a lot of complexity. 1.2.2 is getting closer but it is not ready yet (MJ is broke by it). Discovering KSP RSs RO RP-0 (Mobylette Space Industries) is a great example of current gameplay in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerhamster Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 With the concept validation iteration holding up well at KSC the first missions to establish Munbase were flown. Despite arriving at night the controllers were able to use the PARKERE system to help line up the MOM.s. With the core modules in place mining and ore storage are being prepped for launch. Meanwhile back at KSC trials are being held of a rover docking system to remove the need for EVA's and mucking about with pipes. The engineers have already pointed out they will have to EVA anyway if it keeps breaking wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
