You can't just make excrements up, dude - stick to the lore. Might want to check the extended lore. But in that case I was just showing that because of it being made up of many parts, you could vary it. I also only have one solar system so as far as I know there are no Borg transwarp conduits about. Once I get enough done I put my mods out with no restrictions, so If someone wants to build a Hyperdrive for it, they can.

I've been playing it on and off when i wanted to relax from my main missions Included crashing my trusted Tamarromobile rover in many new ways. I got used to keeping speeds of 50-60 m/s on relatively flat ground, but now i'm again in rough terrain and I should start to be more careful again. A particularly spectacular accident falling into a crater In my main challenge, I launched four more fuel canisters for my Navis Sideralis Neanderthalensis. With this I'm at 13... out of planned 80. See that long line of fuel tanks, that's seven. I must reach 20. And then I must do the same on the three other piles. And hope the ship won't self-destruct by wobbling. I finally found a station messier then mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axelord FTW Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) Gee, Bill! Two rescue missions!? Two contracts for saving kerbals from the Mun showed up, and they were pretty lucrative so I accepted both. Two problems, one of them is on the surface, which isn't that much of a problem really, but the contract stipulated I must also recover the wreckage. Getting there was easy, obviously, but I needed a way to grab the capsule. What I ended up doing was 'lasso' the damn thing up to a suborbital orbit, release, grab, and circularize. UNFORTUNATELY, I went chasing after the wrong capsule in orbit, as I had forgotten to delete the wreckage from a previous rescue. Worse, that other capsule was in a retrograde orbit, and the actual second kerbal's wreck... wasn't. Oh well, thank god for my dV margins! Kicked up the AP high, and inverted my orbit there, before coming back down and meeting with the actual second mission target. That one I only had to transfer the Kerbal to my ship, before returning to Kerbin. About 450,000Kosh in reward, and two Kerbals. Good day's work.

Randazzo Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Made significant progress on an engine model only to decide that I hate it and need to start over. Also put some stuff on Minmus while waiting for the Dres window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madrocketman Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 My first ever RO/RP-1 Career since it's first orbit (1957,) has been struggling with lack of science to progress the game. And with bad luck + engine failures, the agency is losing it's steam. The goal of man in space or even orbit by 1961 is no longer feasible. I still have hope that man can reach space before the US did (1962 Feb.) but that seems less likely the longer and longer this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeaKaka Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 After literally imploding multiple times trying to figure it out, I can finally enjoy ksp again after a single bug with engine ignitor (that prevented me from launching any rockets that required launch clamps for ingition) seemingly fixed itself.

problemecium Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Today I seem to have duplicated a Kerbal. Trust no one, not even yourself, I guess. Yes the random name generator did name her Madden Kerman and I do find it amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow71 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I spent 2 hours in the VAB attempting to put together the Thor DM-18 Able III rocket used to launch Explorer VI into orbit. I have the right part packs installed, but the packs don't have all the parts. But...I got it done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king of nowhere Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I finished docking the 20th drop tank to my Navis Sideralis Neanderthalensis project. And I tested for structural stability, because 20 drop tanks docked on small docking ports are a scary proposition. Here's what I found (the video is at 4x speed, normal speed would be boring) On the plus side, nothing broke, and I was able to point the ship retrograde (a direction I picked at random just to see if I could control attitude) eventually. The project may be feasible without struts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyperspace Industries Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 I built a rover for artemis, I had to land some specialized parts, but it worked, and boy, was it pretty! Spoiler Specialized parts and eva fuel landing. Pilot Ya Kermanilov boarding the rover, it was finished in the morning. After that joyride, Ya went to go disassemble an old, useless mining probe. I wonder what tools they use for that. On the road, after performing a J-turn. Artemis base is now self sufficient on not only supplies, but since I can disassemble parts I print with sandcastle, all I need is an ore drill, and then I'll be able to "print" material kits.

Kerb24 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Did my first ever Duna Landing today. Here's how it went: Spoiler On the pad: Liftoff: 1st stage separation: Faring away: Circularization burn: In orbit: Near Duna: In low Duna orbit: Lander deorbits: Descending in the dark: Ran out of electric charge during the decent, landed a bit hard: Docked in orbit: I will finish the mission tomorrow.

jimmymcgoochie Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 Scattered landers across the face of Titan, hitting 6 of a possible 7 biomes from 8 attempts and with two probes ending up in the, er, ocean? Apparently they float with the magnetometer deployed, but sink quite quickly with it retracted, which is odd but rather useful since it allowed splashed and landed science from those probes.

PT Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Continuing from last episode... Today I noticed that in-flight resource meter shows OX above LF, while VAB numbers and part info shows LF first which explained why my tankers kept arriving with not enough fuel... In meantime I did the usual stuff, surprisingly without any (unplanned) explosions and amazingly docked everything in sunlight. I upgraded Alpha with a module designed to balance weight of its passenger cabin while looking nice, because MJ Differential Throttle couldn't keep it on course once Mun probes landed back on Kerbin. Turns out it was not needed, as I just had wrong control point selected after last docking. But at least I can get rid of that dorky bolt-on battery sticking on its nose while telling VIP's they got better seats available Once Snail upgrade was in place I added some more fuel.... And told MJ to do its job while I wrote this post... Of course four maneuvers with low TwR and SoI change made a mess, but it was expected so I planned-in significant margin of error and only LKO injection had to be recreated to avoid unexpected lithobraking. Two fresh tourists dumb enough to pick my space program for LKO visit were (ab)used as sponsors for return flight of Munar tour. From now on ascent rocket will await in LKO to get civies back to sea level, previous flight got mixed with crew return so there was imbalance in available seats. After getting paycheck worth of 13 tourists with fresh PTSD I snatched sponsors for two space stations a small LKO yacht for orbital slave hunt and another for finally leaving Kerbin SoI... but for that I need some moon rocks to discover how to build relay antennas.

Kerbals_of_Steel Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I needed a tourist spaceplane that could handle larger groups than my Arkangel 3 seater, so I made the Gull: It seats 6 tourists, and the twin Rapiers give it enough kick to be a very sporty ride, ideal for the thrill-seeking Kerbal. It is not, however, a particularly elegant design... Still, it is easy to fly and inexpensive to operate, and fills a nice niche for LKO contracts right now, most of which are for groups of 3 or 4. Obligatory silhouette shot: The return is almost too easy, Gull has remarkably clean aerodynamics for as awkward as it looks (I'm adding some split-flap airbrakes to the next model to kill velocity faster.) KoS 26 minutes ago, Akagi said: Oh crap. Sometimes the kraken requires Kerbal sacrifices... May they rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdJ Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 @Angel-125 When I made my E.M.V.U (spacewalk chair) recently, I wasn't aware that a quality one already existed. Then I saw your pic in Mission Reports. I assume from the proffessional look that it is one of yours. Could you say which mod it is from please?

Axelord FTW Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 (edited) More Kerbal rescuin' This time, four in a single mission. First was in a low, prograde equatorial orbit around Minmus. Second was in a higher, moderately inclined retrograde orbit around Minmus. Third was in a very high, very inclined retrograde orbit around Minmus, plus the collecting the craft itself as stipulated in the contract. Fourth, was near the Mun's north pole on the surface. All done in a single mission. Four new souls to torture as part of my space program, along with around 850,000Kosh in contract rewards. I had originally wanted to only get the first three, and let the one on the Mun get picked up by an upcoming tourist mission in passing, but once again my extra dV margins have done me good. I also came across an Angel above Kerbin when returning another, simple one-Kerbal rescue craft. Jebediah, get in the robot!
