Roastduck Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 designed a crew and sample return vehicle to ferry up and down between my station in high orbitThe station is on the left, shuttle pod on the right, with an experiment module attached off the hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itoum Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Base on F-35Its a prototype im still not done on the plane but ill take any comments on it on how to improve it Currently im working on a missile bay that will go on the belly with Damned Robotics, LLL, and D-12 missilesThe plane goes until mach 1.2 without any problem and still able to turn but then Boom Aereodynamics failure lollSo i guess ill work on the frame to make it strongerUsing 1.25M Thermal Turbo jet engine with 1x1.25M Fusion reactor 1x1.25 electric generator and 1x the smallest fusion reactor from KSP Interstellar Engine deliver at least 217 of thrust and its still going up when i go BoomCoL is slightly in front of CoM with the missiles on the wings but i guess that the missiles bay on the belly will compensate for it and ill probly removethe 6 smaller ones on the wings Anyway here is the K-35 https://imgur.com/a/QhFee#0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Kerman Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I just captured my first asteroid. It was tough chasing it down so I might wait a while before I attempt capturing another one!Add that to finishing exploring the Mun and Minmus, and that's basically where I'm sitting in KSP. Anyone have a suggestion for where to go next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're each small, low dV requirements to get to, and provide unique challenges to someone who has mastered the quirks that Mun and Minmus offer.

DunaRocketeer Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 ^ Agreed about Gilly, one of my absolute favourite early missions was sending a manned spacecraft to Gilly, with a small hitchhiking probe bound for the surface of Eve. Lots of planning, lots of science, and all round just really fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmcp1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I completed my first non mechjeb space station. Javascript is disabled. View full albumI believe I have finally got the hang of docking with other objects. The station has a solar array and all three types of docking port as well as a small fuel reserve. My next mission will be to rendezvous with an asteroid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NecroBones Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 My Jool-5 continues! Last stop at Jool, Bop. I had landed at the dead Kraken before, so I had a nice flag to aim toward to land there again. One of the nice things about Bop is that you can cheaply go into polar orbits. My de-orbit burn, going from nearly equatorial to nearly polar trajectories, was only 100 m/s. Plus, on the way to Bop, I finally used up the outboard engines, and staged them out. I have enough fuel left that I might consider hitting one or two other locations on the way back to Kerbin.

RRG Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I have a suspicion that you took the inspiration from danny2462?Yes. I wanted to see how much mass I could send to Kerbin from Minmus (less than 0.7tons by my calculations). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogu3ish Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Finished reinforcing the Jool mission mothership. Spent about 2 hours adding struts while in orbit - about 40 additional struts in all. Before:After:At this point it looks more like a sailing ship than a space ship. Stability tests show that adding the struts vastly improved performance; it wiggles around a bit while turning, but under power it flies straight as an arrow with no oscillation.

soulsource Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 On the third launch attempt I managed to get the Peacock Mk3 SSTO with a lander docked to it up to LKO with plenty of fuel left. The first two attempts made it to orbit, but the remaining fuel was not enough to do anything useful with it. This one nevertheless had easily enough to go to Minmus.The flight path to Minmus was planned to include a gravity assist at the Mun, yet the plotted course deviated a bit on every SOI change, so some small corrections were necessary. Entering Minmus orbit went smooth, as did undocking the lander, landing on Minmus, docking with the plane again and going on a return trajectory.The landing worked more or less as well, nevertheless the still docked empty lander touched the ground and was destroyed. The science (and lander pilot) had been moved to the planes cockpit beforehand, so the loss was not critical and I still count the mission a full success.<iframe class="imgur-album" src="http://imgur.com/a/YV56q/embed" width="100%" frameborder="0" height="550"></iframe> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyFuzz Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I ran out of money in my career after my program botched three construction flights to my space station and having 3 missions to Duna fail to make Kerbin orbit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulsource Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 MOG !! 2966 points!!And im cant get to the moon yet ... i always run out of fuel and ihave to go back.Said this... i continue trying to get landed on moon... but i fail Im playing carrer mode... by the way.The first landing on the Mun is an important step - probably the most important one in career mode, since the Mun has many biomes and allows to gather a huge amount of science. After unlocking the ion engines, I did a systematic study of the different biomes I hadn't visited before. It was a single mission, since I refuelled the landers Xenon an RCS fuel tanks at an orbital lab station I brought to the Mun previously. The whole mission brought 6428.4 science points and allowed me to unlock everything left in the tech tree, yet it took several days (in real life - one or two landings per day). The 2966 points are the points I got since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlonioFludrasco Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've built a reusable LF booster that makes his way to KSC after being used, àla SpaceX Falcon.(Ok, ditched stages despawns into atmosphere, I know, but if not it can actually work by himself after triggering MJ while it's in the physical range of the main craft)Pics:LiftoffAscending and setting MJA small gravity turn and waiting for staging. Legs are armed (gear light is off, so they'll deploy after an only "g" tapping)Staging! MJ's SAS is triggered with the already set values, and legs are deployed. Engine is throttled up after cut-off occoured during staging. You cannot see it in the pics, but the small payload is accelerating at 2 Gees still in the physical range(I was busy to keep all that stuff working).Powered descent and pointing back to KSC. RW are keeping the right attitude, powered by electricity from the engine. Payload despawned, but the booster is now flying autonomously and doesn't need any imputTanks empty, but she's on the right path. By now RWs are running on residual charge inside MJ core.Chutes half-opened, RWs are still on but are draining electricity more rapidly because they have to fight the chutes.Full deployment! The kick drained the last amount of charge, but the rocket is oscillating very much!Finally, she stabilizes and lands gently.Oh, and a weird "bug" I encountered in the career save:WTF?? TUNDRA? I'm 10 km from KSC!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dire_Squid Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Last night and the night before, I used MechJeb to construct my first Space Station, plus a refueling rocket (for the Station), and KAS parts to fortify it (struts, and a Vertical Stack Winch to keep a Kerbal tethered). I'm not ashamed to say I used MechJeb for rendezvous and docking ONLY because I can't do either.Which reminds me, how DO I take screenshots? F1 doesn't work, for me... maybe I should change the default to F5 (which I use for TF2)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be sure to re-assign a key to it, or you will thake a pic of Jeb dying instead of keeping him back to KSC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
