I built it for the Field Science Mission where you have to get a Scientist to a spot on Kerbin and do a set of experiments. Some of those places are dash difficult to reach. The Hippo can carry the gear and has the range to make if from most runways, helipads or airstrips available for a stock Kerbin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hi. My Kerbin Rover Redux mod has now been upgraded to 1.1.0 https://spacedock.info/mod/2804/Kerbin Rover Redux?ga=<Game+3102+'Kerbal+Space+Program'> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N_Danger Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 I played a little today by sending a probe to Jool for a contact and with a second contact for Tylo science transmission after the Jool contract is completed. I then sent some of the newer kerbals on the space program to plant a flag on Minmus for a contact and to get some experience. There were some concerns about the first flight of a new rocket in the crew cabin. But it worked and later at Minmus, after some screwing around.... We got everybody's flags planted.

Kerbals_of_Steel Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Training myself to be better with SCAN sat maps, so I sent a surveillance mission to the Mun: The main orbiter has full life support, multiple types of scanning equipment, and some surprises: Two deployable 4U cubesats, one with a resource scanner, the other is a comm relay that will be put in a resonant orbit with the main vessel so it's always got a Kerb-net link. The relay sat has a xenon engine, and the resource scanner is conventionally powered: It was also an excuse to try my new cfg's that add fuel switching to some parts from Nuke Refueled. So far, working great, and the scans have revealed an anomaly that will require further investigation... KoS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araym Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 (edited) With 1.12.2 I re-(re-re-re)-started (for the xxx-time) a whole, entire new installation. The United Kerbal States are ready to roll out, for the "Moho Program", our Moho-RedEtoh assembly, in which Jebediah will try a suborbital flight, first kerbal of the western emisphere to reach space. Our brave kerbonaut will risk everything in the (un)auspicious named capsule: "FreeBOOM 7"!! Edited September 5, 2021 by Araym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMA PR0 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) Tonight my growing Aerospace company successfully completed its first crewed mission to orbit Minmus and return home with Valuable science to helps us reach the farthest reaches of space!

ColdJ Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Released my first KerbalX craft in ages. A Chnook inspired passenger helicopter. It uses Airplane Plus and 1 of my H.A.D.D doors. https://kerbalx.com/ColdJ/Knook23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotel26 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 (edited) I'll start with Hearty Congratulations to @SpacePixel for his publication of SX-11-7 Cassandra. Well done, SpacePixel!! Meanwhile, I continue fiddling with Airports. This time, something controversial[1] in the works... I wanted to tune my favorite location to own taste. Baikerbanur. This is very preliminary but it shows the direction I am preferring. It has not, by any means, 'gelled', so let's call it a work in progress.. I knew this was going to be a tough assignment. Since these shots were snapped, a lv-2 crawler-way has been installed between the VAB and launch-pad. [1] I blitzed the KerbinSide original to perform this 'minimalist' make-over, which I find more in harmony with the tranquil beauty of the location.

Guest The Doodling Astronaut Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The community project is wrapping up upsilon for anyone who doesn’t know is a colonization effort. It has some of the largest bases ever made in ksp. The Frontera project was to make a colony at each mun arch and here’s our results so far. There is still a couple crafts left tho sent on mobile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmymcgoochie Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 A pretty conventional series of missions- fix a rover, rescue a Kerbal in LKO, dropped a mini lander on Eve while the orbiter continued on to Ike, shot a couple of tourists into space and back… More funds for the extortionate facility upgrades, I still need at least 6 million funds to get everything up to level 3. And yes, I did say Ike- it lives around Eve in the Snarkiverse; Gilly is elsewhere (the KSC crew in my report/story series haven’t figured out where yet) and Duna now has two moons, though they haven’t figured out which two.

JadeOfMaar Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I got comfortable with procedural wings. The main wings on each plane are 4 wing pieces and 3 elevons each. This airliner's vertical wing is also procedural. Saving them as subassemblies works so I can drag and drop them onto new planes with ease. The vertical wings on this one are not procedural and were later replaced by procedural ones like them. The replacements perform far better and were used as the main wings of a short Mk2 hypersonic test plane. Spoiler And that test plane encountered trees at a whopping 1.5km above sea level on JNSQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caerfinon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 This is a first... Had to rescue a Kerbal from one of @ColdJ's H.A.D.D airlocks floating all alone in space... So strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormpilot Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) More mindless building planes and blowing them up. Edit: now that I think of it the bigger plane would make a good SSTO platform. I will return with one!

jimmymcgoochie Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Went over to look at a bit of local scenery, with the help of some deployable lights. I forgot how huge those things were compared to Kerbals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormpilot Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 (edited) So I went back to KSP again today and made a VTOSL (Vertical Takeoff Short Landing) plane.

ColdJ Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Added a search and rescue helicopter based on @SPEKTRE 's brilliant Kind II helicopter. Their's available here https://kerbalx.com/SPEKTRE/Kind-II My K9N4 Search and Rescue here. https://kerbalx.com/ColdJ/K9N4-Search-and-Rescue2 Mine uses a hinge so you can tilt the rotor for level forward flight. Possibly useful for @Caerfinon's Sea rescue missions. Especially if you add some Kerbal Attachment System winches over each door to pluck survivors from the sea.
