Urus28 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Yesterday I landed a tourism ship on Minmus, you can see it being refuelled on the surface of the green moon. A small ship compare to my mining rover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLjedi Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 @Urus28 That's a very cool vertical lander design! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG Aero Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I made a landing gear gun that shoots I-beams at 2km/s. @Gaarst I'd be happy to lease you one for a small fee. Remember, when you want free with an additional fee buy SC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordFerret Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Oh my. I don't often lose Kerbals, I rather pride myself on that, but today I lost 4 in one shot. A Cargo-Je with 4 aboard ran out of fuel and crashed midway back on the journey home to KSC from the Old KSC. This variant ship had no nightvision ability, so I couldn't really see the ground rising up to meet me in my attempt to land. Engineer Orhat was to supposed to have refueled the plane before we left, but there's no point in blaming him now. KIA - Gwenrine, pilot Tanfel, co-pilot Lodard, scientist Orhat, engineer RIP I've said it before, Old KSC is bad luck for me. I have better success with seat-of-the-pants missions on Mun. Time to wrap this adventure up and bring the other crews home... I've encounters out in deep space about to happen, things I've been waiting for months to come around.

Geonovast Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Today I finished my metal and ore drones for the Constructor station, and sent up the first two. Apparently docking was just too much for the station, and she just started...drifting apart. Lucky the Konstruction! ports have a handy built-in self destruct system, code-named "Compress Parts (Rotate)" I'm blaming the KIS EVA struts. We're gonna look into KJR and try again.

SG Aero Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 I’m converting a plane into an ssto. It’s not going well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Castille7 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Here's what I did, I found this cool craft that jfrouleau built and shared on Kerbalx. I enjoyed it so much I challenged myself to land it on the Island Control Tower. Before you ask, yes this was extremely hard to do. A very nice craft build @jfrouleau !KG-3 Barracuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SG Aero Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) The plane itself works great and put an unusual spin on the style of my dark arrow plane, as seen below. It can just only reach suborbital. Check my sig for the dark arrow. The ssto version also has a small cargo compartment.

Servo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 A pack of wild Warthogs appeared! 1:1 scale, designed with visual accuracy in mind. Somehow, it's not impossible to fly either. And a mini A-10, because who said air superiority can't be cute, too? Both craft will be on my KerbalX by tomorrow, once I have time to write a proper description for them.

eddiew Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Today, yesterday, and the two days previous have been spent pondering and fiddling with setups for a new career game... This Galileo's Planet Pack as seen from the secondary star Grannus, around which are now Rald and the dwarf planets from MIP, plus Asclepius. It's a small system, but an interesting one Some imagination will be required to get here, but both primary worlds are low-g with oxygen atmospheres, so they should make excellent fuel station locations If anyone has suggestions on where I could grab a gas giant or two to go on the outer edges of this little red system, I'd love to hear about them ^^ Edited December 17, 2017 by eddiew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylon Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) I finally launched my reusable Minmus lander which I've been waiting a long time to do (I just added the science module to a station at Minmus on the career save). Using Ven's Stock Revamp with the extra parts it gives you (I think the feet of the landing legs are added parts) Edited December 17, 2017 by Skylon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having recently been using stock-scale RSS, I can appreciate how darn hard it is to find the saturnian moons They are so dwarfed by their parents at real proportions it's not even funny... At least with Jupiter there are 4 nice big ones to aim at. 6 hours ago, Gaarst said: No video because 800 parts is already too hard for my laptop, but a few pictures: Already? I won't fly anything over 200 parts. Stations are acceptable once things are docked, but no single vehicle.

Jeb, The Lonely Kerbonaut Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Well, today i finally made a thing that is normal for the most of the users, but that i never maneged to do (at least without MechJeb): Docking. This is the Docker 2, my target ship. And there is the Docker 1, my main craft, piloted by Valentina (I forgot to remove the parachutes). So, after i made a Rendevouz Maneuver and get a close encounter (less than 200 meters), the Docker 1 prepares to dock with the Docker 2. Using the RCS to approach. Everything was going well, when the ships started to move away from each other. So, i remembered to slow my relative velocity to pratically 0m/s. And i started to get closer to the Docker 2. Getting very closer... ...When the crafts started to move away again. So i slowed my relative velocity, and started to make the final approach. Getting even more closer... ...And... ...The crafts "kiss" each other. And there is the 2 crafts, literally, together. So i tranfered Val to the Docker 2, undocked, de-orbited and bring her back to Kerbin.

KerBlammo Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) Continued construction on the KSS and sent up a crew. On the way back home Jeb, Bill & Bob stopped off at the LKO habitat (75x75k) I would be happy to land an aircraft this close to the runway!

Addemup2002 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 This actually happened yesterday, but Val returned from my program's first Mun landing. I've never been able to return from one before, so this is a big accomplishment for me. I don't have any pictures, though; sorry about that.

Docking is very satisfying although sometimes stressful. Just get them close, get them aligned and take it slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
