Alymon Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 No time to really play, but started working on docking a fuel tank to my space station in LKO. I set up the rendezvous encounter, but it's a little far. I need to fine tune it a bit and complete the intercept next time I play. I'd like to get a few tanks up in orbit so I can start launching some long distance missions. I also need to work on getting back to Eve and Duna and landing on their moons.

cantab Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Today I decided to quite playing KSP. It's sucked up way too much of my free time the last few months so I've decided to delete it from my computer and do my best to forget about it. With that I bid farewell to this awesome community while I move on to do more productive things with my life.Damnit you got me. But joke's on you because it's 2pm where I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karrajor Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Since my last post I did a lot of stuff. Noticeable I was able to get my Heavy Ion Probe from close Kerbol orbit to Eve, which cleared the space from junk and also got me some science from EVEs atmosphere. Also I departed my first lander to Moho (after a succesfull orbitting probe got there) and departed to Jool with my Joomber 1 project (short for Jool Bomber, because its a main probe with 6 small probes along side, like boombs ). But the biggest accomplishment came from my newest aircraft design, the "Let 6 Sprinter". Designed as a very powerfull, but small and light aircraft. And whats so good about it? Its the first aircraft that I was able to get into space only with jet power. On second flight it 2 times leaved the atmosphere of Kerbin. Also its the first craft that was able to circle Kerbin with one small jet tank and still have enough fuel to continue for few hundreds of km. As I am preparing for my large SSTO craft project, I am going back to basics of aircraft design to optimize my designs and also learn how to get maximum out of air breathing engines. This craft will be very usefull in this.<a href="http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=screenhqh.png"><img src="http://www.imagehosting.cz/thumbs/screenhqh.png" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=screenvpv.png"><img src="http://www.imagehosting.cz/thumbs/screenvpv.png" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=screenjpj.png"><img src="http://www.imagehosting.cz/thumbs/screenjpj.png" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=screenkqk.png"><img src="http://www.imagehosting.cz/thumbs/screenkqk.png" border="0"></a> <a href="http://www.imagehosting.cz/?v=screenrmr.png"><img src="http://www.imagehosting.cz/thumbs/screenrmr.png" border="0"></a> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aragosnat Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Well. Finally was able to upload this: Think engineer redues was the cause or the fact I had 80+ active flights or a really really wierd bug as it only happens when I fly over KSP Launch pad with docking clamps left on it.Anyways. Starting a new save today since the patch is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cantab Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 I played .23. Did a quick science mission to Minmus in a cheated career save, just to check out the exact science values. (I don't fully trust the wiki). Used a modified Kerbal X, which I landed on its side, but hey, what works works.And now I'll have to redo it in .23.5 to see if they've changed any of the values...

Jouni Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 MechJeb didn't work after the update, so there was no point in playing the old saves with missions that relied on it. I started a new sandbox game and built a quick rocket.It was a bit overkill for the 68-tonne payload. My spreadsheet said there would be at least 4900 m/s of delta-v in the lifter stages. In practice, the upper stage had over a quarter of its fuel left after lifting the payload into a 160x120 km orbit.The days of wobbly rockets are definitely numbered. I only used two struts in this rocket, and it didn't even need stability enhancers at launchpad.And now that I look at the pictures, I see that I forgot fuel lines from the payload. MechJeb used to catch stupid mistakes like this immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brapness Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Started tracking asteroids. The second one I clicked on happened to be a class c on a collision course with Kerbin, so I launched a mission to stop it. Managed to get it into a 1000km circular orbit.

Epthelyn Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Attached the smallest probe core to the biggest engine.Currently accelerating away from Kerbin at upwards of 40G Infinite fuel obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I threw together a ship that could launch 2 orange tanks into LKO with 0 struts. There was some other stuff on the ship too (like a CLAW!) so hopefully it's enough to grab me an asteroid.And I really mean I threw it together. These new parts are pretty frickin' powerful.

SkyRender Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I captured an asteroid, put it into an almost-perfect 4.3mil KM zero-inclination orbit around Kerbin going retrograde, and then proceeded to set up a simple base on it. Fun times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xub313 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I played around with the ARM patch in sandbox for a bit, and then decided to start a new career to see what new possibilities asteroids would bring. A class B asteroid entered Kerbin's SOI, and something amazing happened.Javascript is disabled. View full album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumrex Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Refined my Redneck offroad system.Pretty fast, but an entire bank of heavy batteries along with decent weight keeps it pinned down pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aragosnat Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Did recently my most perfect Mün return:As you can see. No fuel left. Could have saved a bit as I did not need to go that low into the atmosphere. But, I was worried about running out as I had less then half a tank from the T400 tank.
