Vohjiin Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Discover that my very first attempt at making a space station along with my first ever docking I have ever made in space to build on said space station, was to alluring for the kraken to resist. I am weeping as we speak.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cydonian Monk Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Today I decided my Kerbal Space Program needed more Babylon 5 in it, so I built a StarFury. Something only total sci-fi geeks could appreciate....Totally stock/vanilla parts. Still has some kinks to work out (such as which way is up), and it murders my poor 2.9GHz MacBook Pro (it only has 214 parts... my space station is more and doesn't lag, so I'm not sure what's up there). It does handle like silk before the lag gets overly severe, thanks to a liberal application of RCS ports (it's a space fighter, ya know). Once it's more polished (and I'm happy with it) I'll release the craft file. Edited October 7, 2014 by Cydonian Monk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tw1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Was flying through space and whacked straight into this big hunk of useless dirt called Laythe. Completely by accident. Was aiming for Duna. First interplanetary journey.If you managed to hit Laythe aiming to go to Duna, you have much to learn, young padawan.Today, I got team Moho into place for lunch and rendezvous. Bob enjoyed the two hour drive. As the "Mojo" might be short on Delta V, and I'd prefer to minimise the amount I need to use from the return module, they drove to the point under its orbit. And dropped the last rover probe to get a photo. After experiments on the Mohoian planes, it will be time to return.It they succeed in returning I will have... Got my Mojo back! ba-dum-tish! Jeb's Dres team is also ready to return. They are at their last site:All the return windows are a few days apart. But their arrivals on Kerbin will be months apart.

Commander Zoom Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Sent three landers to the Mun to start my very first offworld base (to go with my very first space station... lot of 'firsts' this version, as I've finally been catching up on stuff most of you have already done).And then I found out that my current save won't work with the new update. I'll get over it (and/or keep my previous version a while longer). It's just that this is the first time I've really done anything in terms of long-term missions, or building infrastructure... and thus, the first time I'm going to lose all that.

Scotius Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I made new, 2-man lander with all bells and whistles. First version used clustered LV-909. I've put it into orbit and pressed space to decouple. And my poor ship was torn to pieces, with half of the parts exploding violently Probably an issue with engines clipping into decoupler. Luckily capsule survived intact. It is floating along highly eccentric orbit. Second iteration of this lander is refitted with two nuclear engines and works like a charm. It's orbiting the Mun now - but i'll wait with test landing until i get two stranded kerbonauts back home. Next phase is powered landing on Kerbin. If everything goes well, two of these landers will go to Duna and Ike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerbMav Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Will be staying at a friends house for a few days and copied my save files over. Already miss my own fast graphics card especially during low altitude operations.Speaking of which: Managed to land a space plane from orbit!Controls are laggy due to low fps I think and planes here dont behave the way I am used to from other games, but with nothing to aim for I could just concentrate on a smooth decent.Next step will be aiming to land close to KSC or even on the runway.

Scotius Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 And fuel to spare Congratulations! My own success was more modest. Iv'e rescued two kerbonauts stranded in Kerbin's orbit, after their experimental lander disassembled violently around them, leaving only cloud of debris. At first i planned to return them to Kerbin immediately, but then...i did re-design of that lander, and still needed to test it on Minmus. So why waste perfectly good crew cooling their heels in orbit? Lander Mk. II went up guided by a probe, and after rendezvous Kerbals abandoned the wreckage and went on their way to smaller moon. Next: landing, return to Kerbin and powered landing at KSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Engineering Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I finally rescued Bob, Jeb and Chademone! After a successful visit to plant a flag on Ike, their return craft ran out of fuel while attempting to enter Kerbin's orbit. The resulting highly eccentric Kerbol orbit was very challenging to get a rescue vessel to so that they could refuel! Deep space rendezvous and docking is much harder than any interplanetary encounter. After a long wait a few correction burns, a Kerbin encounter finally came up. They spent a whopping 1086 days on the mission but landed safely back on Kerbin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sof Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Finished all the pieces of my Eve rescue mission. A craft that should be capable of taking off from Eve (fingers crossed), a rover to ferry the stranded crew from their crash site to the landing site of the rescue ship (I'm planning for a higher altitude launch), a mapsat to find the best place to land, and a return ship to get the crew back to Kerbin. Just waiting for the launch window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tw1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Continued with returning 0.19 kerbals home. I got the Moho crew into orbit, the unbalanced VTOL trouble was minimal, thanks to smart ASS, a quick change of engine, and a quick change of the control point. They made it to orbit with fuel to spare. Then I had suffered a spontaneous unplanned disassembly. Just after quicksaveing. To make things worse, turns out I'd launched in the wrong direction. The carrier module didn't have enough Delta V for the trip to Kerbin after an almost 180 degree inclination change. Time for a rescue. I put this in orbit to use at the next window. But the Moho team will no longer be claiming the title of first interplanetary travellers to get home any more.Had more success returning from Dres. Everything went flawlessly, and I docked two ships 100% manually. To celebrate, all three kerbals went on EVA at once, breaking safety policy. It was great fun. And they are good to return, with ample delta V. Next, I must get the Duna team to orbit. Edited July 6, 2013 by Tw1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are more images in the post I'm replying to, I'll snip out the ones I'm not actually addressing, and if the reply isn't about any of them (e.g: making a remark in general that has little to do with the image content) I'll snip them all out.
