Redwizard000 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 We landed on Duna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benzman Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Today I D/Led an interplanetary ship in order to learn some more about the game and try rovering for the first time. Sent Jeb, Bill and Bob on a shakedown run to the Mun as practice for a later Duna attempt. In Mun orbit, transferred Jeb and Bill to the lander, decoupled, started the descent and landed nicely about a kilometre from a deep, spectacular looking crater. Jeb and Bill got onto the rover and headed for the crater to do some sight-seeing. About 200 metres from the crater lip they parked the rover in a handy depression so it would not roll away. Jeb got out and walked to the very lip of the crater and sure enough, the view was spectacular. He called Bill to join him with the rover. Bill underestimated the braking distance on the rover and went over the edge. The cliff was very steep and the rover tumbled madly. I could not release Bill from the seat and soon the rover blew up and disintegrated. Bill finished up lying on his side still attached to just the seat. I could not revive him no matter what I tried. Bill was dead. With a heavy heart Jeb turn away from the crater, activated his jet pack and headed back to the lander. he had lost all interest in Munar exploring.

smysha Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Messed around with KSP Interstellar.Now this is just an overkill =_= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sufficient Anonymity Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I also messed about with Interstellar...Javascript is disabled. View full album...I'm sure I'll get her to straight eventually. Unfortunately, KSPI is being really buggy at the moment so I can't drop out of warp :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smysha Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I also messed about with Interstellar...VTOL? Nice idea, I didn't thought about it. I've tried to build sci-fi style spaceships. Sort of spaceplanes, you know... Had some sucsess witl AM reactor-plasma engine configuraton. Gonna post some screenshots later, if anyone feel curious about it...

Overfloater Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) Today I performed a Munar landing, with a ~9 ton payload (including a break-dancing Jeep xD) while finding out exactly what my regular mid-range Venera is best suited for ;o) (next flight - Minmus)And I visited my Laythe colony, to replace 2 crew members.Unfortunately, I wasted too much fuel for the inclination burn on the Jool transfer, so visiting Duna after that is probably a bad idea... Should have waited for the zero inclination transfer like I did the 1st time... :^[ Edited April 13, 2014 by Overfloater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayana Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) I learned exactly why fuel lines and subassemblies are an untrustworthy pair. Now I have a fully fueled Ike lander with an engine that doesn't work.Edit: And my probe around Bop apparently crashed while I wasn't looking. Dangerous little moon to leave things in low orbit around. Edited April 13, 2014 by ayana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreross Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I edited up a KSP video and also I made up some Spaceplane designs and tried to get them into orbit, total failure. Will rlease the space plane videos later this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iDan122 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 In about an hour, I:Tested Delta Clipper SSTO design(cargo in these shrouds):Tested universal glider(gliding over mountains with no input, even SAS)This counts as air-to-air refueling, right?Land on VAB horizontallyShoot KSC with tungsten rod: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xcorps Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I found an E class Asteroid entering Kerbals SOI. It had a Kerbin periapsis of 103k. I launched a huge grabber, put it circular, matched inclination and made a capture burn to intercept at Periapsis. I mistimed the burn and missed the asteroid by 150,000 KM.I am disappoint.

bigyihsuan Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Started a new career save in ARM, and got to Heavy Rocketry node. Sent a Mun mission, got there with about 3/4 of the tank left. So, I tried to land, failed, and had to end a mission that took me several hours to fabricate.Later, I attempted to make a rocket for grabbing asteroids, failed that too. this time, it couldn't get off the ground.Needs more struts.

Frank_G Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Today, Bill, Bob and Jeb encountered a total kerbol - munar eclipse during the maiden flight of the new OSV Mk. II Orbital Servive Vehicle.Jeb was a little overwhelmed it seems...And the new designed craft i originally wanted to show of: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RW-1 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I began my Space Station, Kerbal Station One, and launched a lab, poser section and some nodes, all using the regular clamp-o-tron.I see that lining up your modules is critical when adding another with it's own solar panels.Also, fuel, as well.

ayana Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Rather than deal with return windows to Kerbin, I dragged a space station core to Duna and let the Kerbals move in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerLoki Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Finally got the thread for my current career up in the Mission Reports section. Right now I'm putting the equipment for my first manned Minmus landing of this save through testing before launching the actual mission.

Beeburgers Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Whelp, I tried to change the inclination of my new little asteroid base. I have learned my lessons: 1.) If you want to build a space tug, you need a probe core at either end in order execute maneuver nodes. 2.) When orienting the ship make sure you are pointing directly away from the center of mass or terrible things will happen. 3.) It doesn't matter how many NERV engines you toss on there, you don't have enough to make a soft asteroid landing. 4.) No matter what, I must never be allowed into the real NASA Asteroid program.

Tuxmobil Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I just catched an asteroid on collision course with Kerbal with some phantom forces. (yeah, first serious bug in 23.5 )Then got the idea to let Jebediah catch the next one with his bare hands... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jt Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I modded the config file for the Port-a-Hatch and made it attachable using KAS. I also increased its Kerbal capacity to 15 Kerbals. I then attached it to my asteroid station orbiting Kerbin. I can now make believe the Kerbals hollowed out the asteroid to make it into a station. All I have to do now is add some docking ports and the asteroid station will be complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantab Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Finally did the Mun flyby in my cheap science mission. Now to work out the course correction for the Eve encounter, and sort the gravity assist off that. It looks like I definitely won't make Moho with a single Eve assist, so I get the extra challenge of lining things up for a second pass without waiting ages.Then I can get on with some asteroid deflection. I've got one due to impact in about 17 days, I'd prefer if it didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
