Then you have to get it to your laptop/tablet. I play on Xbox and the Xbox app on PC is pretty good for this. Editing all the pictures so they aren't too dark to post is the real effort.

It refueled quicker than I expected considering the small drills and small converter (but I wasn't really concerned with time at this point). Tylo has very rich ore. Lander has two fuel cell arrays tucked between the nacelles, so plenty of power for the small ISRU set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xendelaar Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Lifting vessels of the ground is soooo 2019! With the airspace platform, you're able to launch vessels into space with only vacuum engines! it saves like... uhm.. at least.. 100 m/s delta v? Or something hehe. ok.. so it's not that efficient, but hey..it looks cool... right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars-Bound Hokie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Finally, after seven (in-game) years, I completed my Eeloo outpost contract. Landed inside one of Eeloo's canyons, explaining why the ground underneath is brown.

Lewie Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Good suggestion, but unfortunately I am not allowed to use youtube. I’m thinking I will just rake pictures, then upload them to imgur. Thanks for the suggestion though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, here's MY efficient spacecraft launcher: A spaceplane that carries a spaceplane Just return the large plane when you're done.

Chequers Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Today, I took pleasure in the simple act of a sunset flight from the KSC to the nearby mountain range and back again in time for supper. Taking a break from trying to fling ships millions of miles away, reminds me just how massive space is.

If you want to overwork your CPU, you should try that. And if you think my ring's bad for your computer's health, wait until you see @HolidayTheLeek's Aqua-Sama. That craft currently holds the KerbalX record for highest part count (8,450). On an unrelated note, I accepted a contract to expand one of my surface bases. But first, I had to test the expansion module on Kerbin to ensure that docking is possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Jeb after 20 minutes ( not the 2 weeks that I had planned) had to return home because the rover was unstable and the landing site was too steep. It seems much like @Matt Lowne's Vall rover.

purpleivan Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Took the "Stopo Starto" off to a small clifftop landing spot in the Kayak Club, or a Sepratron assisted landing and takeoff Early morning start. Mind that bump while spotting the landing spot down below. Swung around for a nice long run in at the landing site. Not much space there, but this thing's pretty good at low speed, plus... Sepratrons. Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of the landing. But Jeb made it down, then revealed he's swapped the default for his own, in a sneak bit of small business promotion. Then it was time to get back in the air once more, again with the help of some Sepratrons to get up to speed quickly. Then head home in time for lunch.

Only problem is that I have a PlayStation. (Can’t stand the xbox) and today I am planning on sending my second manned mission to Minmus with a rover that will stay on the surface well after the Kerbals leave.

Lewie Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 So I went to Minmus...and I realized that I accidentally flipped the docking port on the rover around, so I wasn’t able to undock and scuttle it around the surface of Minmus. But, on a lighter note, I did manage to bring home enough mint ice cream from the surface I will have enough snacks for...My Duna mission!! (I’ve only been to Mun and Minmus now) I am sorta ticked off cus there was a glitch and I didn’t get the trophy for going to Minmus. Not that I care, it’s for bragging rights. So yea. Anywho yep...my next destination-DUNA! I’m A coming for that chili powder!! My Kerbals must have tacos and and Mint Ice cream before I head off to the Joolian system! Sorry for the rant, y’all. Peace out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet pack is Grannus Expansion Pack, set to be the primary system Visuals are just EVE and Scatterer with a custom KS3P config. Engines in the first pic are the 0.625 m nuclear engines in Kerbal Atomics. Bit of a shameless plug, but I have a few more pics like this over here.
