Bornholio Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Yury Rasputin my newest scientist is getting his orbital training. Designing a new one person orbiter using my new HydroLox engine. The Engine only has one ignition? ah crusty crab cakes. Very sloppy1314x167km orbit. should have noticed it throttles well. Yury used some dark magic to survive the fiery explosion that happened during the overly steep re-entry. (reverting to launch and rolling it back in) Edited April 7, 2017 by Bornholio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboslacker Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 5999.5 science. That's how much I got from my biome hopping mun m mission. I used this lander, named the Cortez. After I finished the mission, I had gotten somewhat attached to it. So rather than leaving it to orbit the mun forever, I docked it to my mun space station where it will probably stay forever.

Red Shirt Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Continued to tinker with my Vector powered NCC-1701 Enterprise. I redid the cover of the saucer section to try and clean up the clipping a little. I'm pretty happy with how it is going. Afterwards, Trauki, who happens to be my favorite pilot - she has a nice smile and rarely breaks stuff - made a quick run to the KSS to retrieve Jeb and Bill. I had forgot where I left them. Flawless flight. On the way home all were inspired by the beauty of this game. My laptop potato may run slooooow but I can always warp and the views are gorgeous.

JadeOfMaar Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Today (in-game, year 1 day 379) was a day for an Iota eclipse. Unfortunately no one would ever notice. Iota is Minmus-sized and twice as far as Mun after all so its shadow didn't even register on Gael's face. The next month or two in-game ("month" being a very ambiguous term in KSP sadly) was full of joy and adventure. There was another 2-kerman launch to Iota to reap ripe science, moreover with 3 science crates aboard to ensure a plentiful harvest. Only 2 biome hops were done with the intention to save dV to rendezvous with Prudence station afterwards, otherwise (and the smarter choice, in retrospect) 3 maybe 4 with a direct return to KSC may have been quite possible. Another freak turn of events somehow placed Haidrien (pilot) in one of the seats at the lab, holding back the research process so later on a crew transfer mission was arranged to exchange her for a scientist. During that transfer the whole crew (2 lady pilots, 2 lady scientists) spent 20 days in low orbit to catch up and keep spirits high. Later on the Gratian probe made its plane change to seal its encounter and 2 new SCANsats were launched to Gael and Iota, now with DMagic parts and resource scanners. Mining and base-building equipment are still far away in the tech tree but an OPT engine and most of Omicron has appeared. The age of spaceplanes and flying cars has begun. What will Deep Sky's engineers come up with...? * In a Midlands trench between some Highlands and the high-up Skids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bornholio Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) My Yury Rasputin training ship update. 3800dV in Boosters, recoverable. 3600dV Main stage, recoverable, max of 3.9G at booster separation. I'll move the decouplers inside the attachment wings next iteration. Orbital stage, 5500dV with 4 ignititions. Only needs a couple thousand to circularize a 350km orbit. Leaves plenty for intercept. 4 Ant motors with 500dV for redevouz and if nothing left on the spike de-orbit. Yury spent 15days in orbit earning the funds from a new(tm) world record. Then he realized on re-entry that the new tank partition wasn't re-entry rated... Made it but the drive section did not.

EpicSpaceTroll139 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) I designed and did some testing of a new light fighter jet. I put it together in less than 10 minutes and it is outperforming other fighter jets that I spent days tweaking. Not sure if this is great or if it means my other fighter planes are just bad.

Boganaut Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Today I brought the interplanetary cruiser SS Torg Mathar back to Kerbin from retrograde Duna orbit.... Nope, I wasn't going for extra drag to target a better LZ - fuel tanks practically dry and the centre of migrated up to a silly place.... But the fuel tanks weren't *completely* dry - bit of a gentle spurt on the nuclear engines to take the edge off the landing speed.... She came down with a bit of a bump (landing capability was a half baked afterthought when I designed this ship!) but managed to stay upright, holding aloft Steylin Kerman's capsule recovered from a very silly orbit of Duna. This ship's journey took it from LKO to the Mun to fulfill a contract there and drop off an ISRU. It then made its way over to Ike (via an accidentally retrograde orbit of Duna) where it fulfilled another mission. It then picked up passengers including a couple of rescued Kerbals and made its way back into the aforementioned silly retrograde orbit of Duna to rescue Steylin Kerman. The motley crew have all returned to KSC where they are enjoying snacks and games of snooker. Also for your enjoyment from an earlier day: using an asteroid as a heat shield while aerobraking over Eve - I call this shot "The Flaming Potato" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found over 10 and then several more when I enabled the cheat. It has more biomes than Kerbin and probably other planets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's somewhat buggy though: it takes some extra clicking to get the capacities to update after you resize a part. Is this happening to you too or there is a fix for this? Does it even matter? It seems that they work OK once the capacity is set. Thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that they work OK once the capacity is set. Thanks a lot! I'm just running PP v1.2.8 through CKAN with PP-ven's Revamp Style Textures v1.1. I do get the update error from AVC but haven't noticed any problems. It is somewhat modified by RO/RP-0 (using the 1.2.2 dev version). But that should only be changing what sizes and shapes are available. Real fuels might be the reason I see no problems since I have to pick each fuel when adding the engines. They also default to 86% full and I have to worry about if they need to be pressurized for certain engines. Given all of that I have not seen any issues. I'm also using them in my Galileo Planet Pack career but they are small at the tech I have. I'll run that this evening and take a look for any issues. " Ho many biomes on Mun did you find? I found over 10 and then several more when I enabled the cheat. It has more biomes than Kerbin and probably other planets. " SCANSat for the win. After you do full scans use the [o] View Biomes cheat. adding links: https://github.com/Swamp-Ig/ProceduralParts/releases/tag/v1.2.8 Edited April 7, 2017 by Bornholio add quote, comment, add links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
