Kertech Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Spoiler This ship is the enigma, and it is certainly is a bit weird. It's essentially designed to harvest a lot of karborundum from the sun and bring it back to kerbin, but require a lot of ore! Those torch drives are thirsty! In it's initial configuration it has 170,000m/s dv, which is just enough to circulize at Low solar orbit and return to kerbin with a lot of karborundum (it's really heavy!!!) I've sent it off for one run, but will probably just park it above minmus where my ore miners should be able to fill it... Ore mining being the next topic... Why not build a VTOL heavy duty freighter Spoiler Who put this VAB here Finally the Daedalus, Fusion pellets were a pain to understand (note to self read the wiki before launch...) Took twelve freighter launches full of deuterium etc. to fill those tanks! Ridiculous dv, off to Jool to start a laythe colony I think I need to build some landers...

septemberWaves Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I tested out a new space shuttle. It flies, but only just. It looks pretty good and transports 5 kerbals including the pilot, but it only just flies properly when empty (it flies better the less fuel you burn in orbit), and the ascent profile is wobbly to say the least. At least it's good in terms of aesthetics though, and I'll probably find a way to use similar plane designs because I quite like this wing layout. And it's fully recoverable (well, with Stage Recovery it averages to about 90-ish percent recovery but that's besides the point) so that is another point in its favour.

The Flying Kerbal Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 *******Kerbal Space Agency Press Statement******* Year: 1 Day: 180 Time: 0 hours 46 minutes Press Statement: Reports coming in that Berbe Kerman has survived the crash that claimed the life of Jebediah Kerman. As they approached the wreckage, tapping was heard coming from what was left of the passenger compartment. Berbe is now in hospital recovering from several broken fingernails, a gash on the back of the hand, and a particularly nasty bruise on the forehead. The KSA has suspended all Kerballed flights while investigations into the crash continue. END OF MESSAGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnan Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 I accepted an contract to bring 1200 ore from Mun to Kerbal. Since I already have a base on Mun I thought I'll expanded to make it a mining base. The base was by built using the Planetary Base Inc mod. A launcher bought the two sections to Mun orbit where an "Eagle" based on the craft of the same name from Space 1999 took them separately to the surface. One land a tractor joined them together. The new sections of the base are a greenhouse, a solar array and two mining rigs. This time they are connected to each other and the original base using the KIS mod. I had to use Hyperedit to get them in the proper positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench Head Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Hi all been working on a submarine for 1.2.2. and moving parts to 1.3.... Man its a real job sometimes lol most of the time. Homage to a great writer Jules Verne. Here is the latest work for 1.2.2 Down load available for testing just PM me. WIPs need SM marine mod to work.

The Flying Kerbal Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 It's been a strange day at the KSP, but moral got a huge boost when Berbe Kerman, the tourist who chartered the orbital flight of Kerbin, survived the re-entry accident that claimed Jeb's life. She was found suspended upside down, still strapped into her seat, unable to take of the seat belts as she didn't want to land on her head. Although only unkerballed flights are currently being launched at the KSC while the accident is under investigation, the KSA had a remarkable stroke of luck today when a simple test of a 3.25m fairing resulted in a small probe ending up on course for an encounter with Jool! This simple probe was originally designed to control the launch vehicle and deploy the fairings when the test conditions - deploy while in solar orbit - had been met. However after the test had been successfully completed, it was noticed that the probe was going to get an encounter with the Kerbol systems gas giant, Jool. And as luck would have it, a recent policy introduced by the KSA now means that all probes must include some basic science, an antenna and some power generation capability, because "you just never know" as Gene Kerman has been heard to say.

KerbMav Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Needed to reach the grasslands for a contract - yes I already have rover wheels ... "Not because they are easy ... " And yes, launching it from as high as possible helps - still a lot of failed launches for this one contract ... I must be crazy ...

qzgy Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Mucked about with turboprops and tiltrotors... It didn't go well. Then decided it was a terrible idea and worked on stock helicopter Probably a bit stupid, especially with 60 junos or something like that. And 10 blades (clipped into each other to make it look like 5, of course) Also finally figured out a good bearing. Its made of vernor thrusters, apparently and an rcs tank. Not the most efficient spacewise, but I don't care. And also need to edit out juno effects, and make sure the heli doesn't spin too much.
