michaelhester07 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm rather impressed that it gets there at all - - - Updated - - -Shameless or not, it looks awesome! Do you have a dev thread going for these?http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/111890-0-0-WIP-Civilian-population-development-threadThat's the dev thread. The biodome framework is going to be in 1.2 of my civilian population mod. I'm planning to make the biodome system smart. Each dome part will detect if it's sealed and allow your kerbal to take his spacesuit helmet off (or more). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulsource Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I sent my first probe to Mercury orbit. I went there the Kerbal way, by just adding more boosters instead of finding a low dV path using gravity assists.Now I know, why there have been so few probes there in real life... The transfer requires quite a bit of fuel...Javascript is disabled. View full album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABHOUSE Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Tried to dock, I got less than 100 m separation after 3 tries of rendezvous, but how am I supposed to stay the same speed as the other ship? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimePeriod Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Yes, that is a boxYes it is a VTOLYes it does flyAnd yes, it can be controlled.@Tried to dock, I got less than 100 m separation after 3 tries of rendezvous, but how am I supposed to stay the same speed as the other ship?1) Get within 5km range of the target.2) Burn retrograde until speed is cancelled out.3) Burn towards the target (prograde) max 50m/s4) Burn retrograde again within 1km range.5) continue until you are within 100m. From there, use RCS. Edited March 11, 2015 by TimePeriod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFerret Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I revamped my Kerbin space station (K-One). Just need one or two more runs to refuel and top off the tanks. 463 parts, 384.74 tons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotoro Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Today I posted an UPDATE to my Exiting Eve thread. I finally decided to return Desdin Kerman from Eve after 24 years alone.Yesterday I posted Episode 44 in the Longterm Laythe series. This episode dealt with fixing comsats that were broken by the 0.90 Beta upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smjjames Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Well, nobody has said anything about spoilery stuff, so....Edit: How do you nest a spoiler within a spoiler?....Are you sure you want to spoil it?Bob visiting the dead space kraken. I thought it would have been a whole lot bigger and more... krakeny, my first thought on seeing it was 'space jellyfish???', though I saw the back of it rather than the front at first. Also, I read somewhere that you could go right through it, but nope, solid as a rock. Edited March 11, 2015 by smjjames tag typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathanChimp Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So, amidst excellent orbital rescues and disastrous proof that sticking a couple of triangles on the side of your ship does not make an atmospheric craft, I managed to accidentally create a legitimate space vehicle out of two small stack separators that I fashioned together to clear a docking port and an engine as they came apart.Following it closely with my probe in case it gets more ideas.

Valley Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have done today something that almost everybody else has done but I have tried and failed to do. I landed a unmanned lander on Duna. I have tried before with a ram-jet (one of those mods that allowed you to collect fuel in space) and failed, as Ike got in the way of the manned ship - they were forced to land and when I sent another ship to save them...it failed. But this time, after having designed a few tugs with nuclear engines for my sandbox game I tried it out in a test game - I figured a unmanned tug could take a lander to Duna. No fancy mods, outside of Mech Jeb. I put the tug in high orbit so I could time warp it to the nodes.And it did. It worked. Landed - did some science for the fun of it.So I sent the tug back, still with enough Delta-V to get it back, at least into orbit around Kerbin.And on the way out the tug slammed right into Ike.Bad moon! BAD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake81 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Played with Impossible Innovations, which I got yesterday. I built a very basic spacecraft with the deuterium fuel tank command pod, and nuclear engine. The fuel surprised me and lasted so long, that what was supposed to be a quick atmospheric flight turned into a Mun landing. Encouraged by that, I built a craft with four deuterium tanks and four engines....and burned through all the fuel because I'm paranoid on Munar descent, and slammed Rayster Kerman into the surface from about 4000 meters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumrex Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) Quite by accident, I built the smallest lander / ssto I have ever created that can launch and orbit Kerbin. Edited March 13, 2015 by sumrex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goddess Bhavani Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 very very cool. How do you keep the front & back sections aligned? Is this FAR or stock?B9 Aerospace parts include a series of custom struts, one of which connect two parts together with an invisible strut, useful for internal bracing or aesthetics. They connect the front and back halves of the ship together. The ship can fly without this connection but the back end will just spin freely based on aerodynamic forces and friction from the rotor bearings. The aft bearing is a double IR free moving docking washer so in effect it makes just the center bit (rotor assembly) twirl around its axis as the Triebflugel concept depicts.

eddiew Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Woke up to find that an asteroid has captured itself in orbit around Kerbin... which shouldn't be possible! I'm hypothesising that it must've encountered Mun as it was passing through Kerbin's SOI, and been tweaked into a stable orbit in the process. Most befuddling.On the up side, it'll be much easier to fulfil this asteroid survey contract now! Might even bring it down into LKO and turn it into a massive fuel station Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starwhip Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 In Docking mode, double-tapping the Spacebar lets you activate "hold" mode, where holding down the spacebar puts you in the second mode (rotation if you are in linear, linear if in rotation), and letting go reverts. Double-tapping again disables.I figured this out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delder92663 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 Tried installing Karbonite /Regolith and couldn't get the hot spots to show. I installed Scan Sat to see if that would show the hot spots. KSP didn't like that. I can see all the parts and I can collect karbonite with the scoop so Karbonite seems to be installed correctly.I'll try removing some other mods to see if I can find any conflicts tonight.
