Once you complete the contract it should go away. Annoying, I know. i'll try to complete a EVE flyby (which has an oddly specific 90k-95k altitude) maybe it's that, thx very much!

Mariner 2 EVE flyby for me! something is kinda messed up in that contract, i'll look into what contract pact it is and report it to the mod-maker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I got. The text isn't an error, it's there to help plan your flyby, but can be quite redundant if you've got other flight info mods like KER or MechJeb. Dunno there's much that can be done with it since @malkuth is just tapping into the stock game message system for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisky Tango Foxtrot Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) I designed and tested a new Gilly miner. My old miner could only operate when a pilot was on board, which I thought made sense at the time (since I'd need an engineer for maximum efficiency so why not send a pilot, too) but I've since decided that with my Moho and Eve landings complete I don't have much need to keep my Gilly station manned. Still, I'd like to have some means of getting some fuel there, hence the redesigned miner with a HECS2 probe core allowing it to operate independently. It's also lighter than the old one (that Mk2 Lander Can is heavy) and includes conveniences such as on-board science equipment (which will allow me to continue to complete "transmit science data from the surface of Gilly" contracts even after the crew has returned home. I also like the face that nearly every part of the craft's surface is covered with some kind of greeble, with all of them serving a purpose. Makes it look more like a spaceship.

Angelo Kerman Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 (edited) The stripes need some weathering but.. Left to right: Stock tanks, DSEV's original 2.5m tanks, remodeled "Delta" tanks in orange and Delta tanks in white. Stripes reflect the Delta IV Heavy... You can texture switch between the two coloring options. Edited September 1, 2017 by Angel-125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT since you made it out of the blackout okay, your under 50K probe is probably built right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qzgy Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) After seeing some advice from Azimech (about increasing shaft and bearing inertia with many RCS balls for stability), got a helicopter to work. Somewhat. Edit: Oh, and managed to break a perfectly good craft file in stockish KSP. Edited September 2, 2017 by qzgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blooder14 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 My lesson for today: always check your fuel type for engines. just wasted A LOT of work sending a Deep space probe just to realize i used a LF+O tank for a LH2 engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddiew Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Takei and Doohan discovered that Mars needs bathrooms. (Fortunately at this point, I discovered the existence of Bon Voyage recompiled for 1.3, which made the 35 minute drive back pass much more quickly than the outbound run!)

Ultimate Steve Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) About three years ago I came up with an acronym: ESREP - Eve Self Refueling Exploration Plane.

TheEpicSquared Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I started my Gateway Space Station, in the DMP server NoNameShips Modded. Gateway is under early stages of construction. Today I launched the core and two solar trusses, and built the Type 1 Crew Module - one Hitchhiker and monopropellant, and a docking port of course. I'll launch that, and probably a few more modules, tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daeridanii Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 More Pictures, if you like. I worked on making another stock replica, this time of the Krenim weapon ship from Star Trek: Voyager. This thing is a lagfest with 731 parts (most in the forward prongy thingies), but looks relatively accurate. Optimization and aesthetic improvement planned before a KerbalX release.
