Aragosnat Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Today... I'm taking a short brake from KSP while I think of how to kill Kerbals off in 0.21 when it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Custer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) 1. Sent some probes into Kerbin's orbit, because I like making sattelites for some reason !2. Launched some Lander's and stuff into Orbit just to see how it went, then brought them back down.3. (Planned). Since I haven't tried to go to Minmus yet, I shall!Note: I have been away from KSP for a while so, I decided to go back to the basics and not launch for the other planets right away, but will soon!Update: Success! Landed with a Lander. What did you expect? Space Station on wheels? Hah... Now there's an idea... Edited July 11, 2013 by Custer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucidLemon Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I put a Crossbow on Dres, then fired Bill Kerman across the canyon.I told myself I would cut out this ridiculous crossbow stuff, but I can't.It's too crazy. Too fun. I'm addicted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flixxbeatz Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 These are my ironsides. I invented them today.-snip-They will help my kerbals go to space.Great, now bring it on the Mun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tw1 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Great, now bring it on the Mun. I may be considering something......Also, Just did some experiments. Landed an SRB plane on the Nth try. But now, the Infiniglider One has reached a stable crusing altiude, and angle. (Completely by chance, or divine providence.)I should be getting to sleep now, but the ashes are on, and I want to see how far this goes. Maybe it's one of those nights to leave the computer on.Edit: It seems to be going around it a huge circle... Another Edit: Confirmed. A big, infinite circle...It's too crazy. Too fun. I'm addicted.Welcome to Kerbal Space Program Edited July 11, 2013 by Tw1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keome Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Today, I landed a crew on Minmus and then got them back home safely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerbMav Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 To sum up the last few days:Landed a probe on Duna - twice thanks to "End Flight" during sleeping times ... thank you quicksave!Landed a smaller probe on Eve - botched the orbiting by aerobreaking but probe landed well.album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giggleplex777 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I started Zepto Eagleworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotius Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Launched my second Duna satellite and docked it to the mothership. Now i'm in the middle of 10 minutes burn to get into Kerbol orbit. Then another burn to reach Duna. And another to brake into Duna orbit...man, i will spend so much time running the engines. And lag is terrible - methinks i've used too much Quantum Struts. At least nothing wobbles For a 400 ton beast carrying huge lander, two big sats and a lake of fuel it's not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHockeyPlayer Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 (A few days ago) I started a new save file because my old one was corrupted. Shortly afterwards, I landed on the Mun and returned on my first attempt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpedo423 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I had my first successful rendezvous and docking today, that was one of the major things I never learned to do so I played around with it and docked with my unmanned (not anymore!) station in orbit on the first try using a modified version of my standard orbiter. Now I have to go learn space planes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camelotking524 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I got Dansey Kerman stuck at the bottom of the ocean. I knew I shouldn't test the submarine parts with living test pilots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudx Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Drew out a new Kerbal Orbital Station design, hopefully the one I'll use in .21.I also reentered my 1100 part station, not because of .21, because it was getting old. .18 old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldham Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I made a Minmus flyby today (then got in a sun orbit, oops) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Ron Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Easy to do if you are going too fast when intercepting. Catch the right spot and an under speed loop will get a gravity assist for a flyby that returns you to Kerban.On the laptop, Sent two more Redstone probes to Mun and Minmus. Both on intercepts that would return to Kerban if I didn't orbit them. Used four solid rocket boosters on one to kick the rocket to 5,000 meters at burnout. That places the second stage in orbit with an extra 100 units of fuel. the other used two in combo with the first stage engine. Got 50 extra units of fuel from that into orbit. Solid fuel rockets are risky as they tend to overheat. But the combo was still quite stable to fly. Have transferred the Craft files to the Steam desktop version to add to its one space program.Will try to land the probes using the thruster stage in final approach, Should be able to do so on Minmus. Not sure about Mun with its higher gravity.Next test, place a Kerbal capsule on one in place of the probe. Those will need the solid rocket booster in order to reach a Mun or Minmus orbit due to the additional 1/2 ton being launch into orbit.

Whackjob Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I got bored of the Arkingthaad project, so I went into the VAB and invoked the insanity clause. By the time they realize there isn't an insanity clause, I'll already be at 10,000 meters and climbing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadweasel Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 "Yea though I fly over the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, for I am at 10,000 meters and climbing... with kraken bait in tow."XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whackjob Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I just now realize: I've never even tried the aircraft hangar. Maybe I should try my hand at a space plane. Maybe one that can make it to the Mun and back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joethebeast22 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 landed 4 mun missions, two landers, and two rovers, one with seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I made it. I thought I didn't have a valid encounter, but I sat down and played with the maneuver node until I found the sweet spot, then made several correction burns on the way in. Here's a picture of the final deceleration and dropping the last two fuel slugs; we're currently in an 80km x 80km orbit. Tomorrow I'll go for a landing.

Joshington Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Got a satellite into orbit around Eeloo today. I was lucky enough to catch it when it was intersecting with Jool. Took me a ridiculous amount of fuel to get me there though, then there was a 20+ minute burn to get it into orbit, but it was worth it. Now for Moho...

Tw1 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Put Jeb and Bill on trajectories back into Kerbin's SOI. Bill contemplates the red planet he just spent two years upon, now finally leaving. This thing should just be able to pull Bob's casual home. I hope. Damn Moho.Also, I have been infinigliding for a whole day. This has travelled some 35,000km. Some sort of record perhaps.

Danger Will Kerbinson! Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Since I have never once used them before I decided to see if I could make an actual 'useful' flight using only the LV-1 engines. Went from the surface to orbit and realized I had enough delta v to do a free return shot around Mun.Wheee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
