fourfa Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 A pair of the new Mk3 Engine Mounts back to back make an interesting docking port junction that conceals the ports and keeps the lines of the Mk3 fuselage decently well... A jumbo battery behind one of the ports spaces them out just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I added more to my space station. I also crashed the game for the fourth time today... The next step is to make a universal crew exchange and resupply ship. I'm not going the spaceplane route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbadevlin Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Quote I also crashed the game for the fourth time today... Only 4?, a in a good day of KSP (plus depending on what i am working on) I may crash the game like 10-15 times... Oh I guess I have been working on walkers and insane 900 part replicas....

Just Jim Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I am so proud of this I can't think straight... lol. After days of work, I've finished the first part of my asteroid space station. I will continue to build on it, but the first contract to build a new station is complete. So if I may, I would like to present: Emiko Station My Castle in the Sky: It's late and I'm beat, but I have a bunch of screenshots I can share. Tomorrow I'll do a mission report with a storyline.

cantab Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I've gone over to the dark side - and started work on a shuttle. Completed a fuselage I'm fairly happy with but have yet to sort out a wing planform. I'm going for an ambitious plan too. A vehicle that can liftoff from Kerbin with an orange tank as payload, travel to Laythe, land that payload on Laythe, then fly spaceplane-style into Laythe orbit (empty of payload), refuel, and return to Kerbin.

The Optimist Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Today, I spent 2 hours aerobraking a terribad reentry from the mun. 32 orbits. I'm done for tonight. Oh, and also Bill got out to push, but he decided to do so while he was still within the atmosphere. Luckily he survived, but he was glowing a little afterwards.

Francois424 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Today I burned to match one side of Moho's Orbit, then slowed down to get a good encounter... Success ! I ran out of MonoPropellant in the last third of the burn the Verners continued to keep me on target (I have some kind of a torque issue it seems, but nothing my craft cannot handle). I now have a 4 hours encounter window with Moho, more than enough to perform my capture burn, and about 5k delta-V left... not too shabby. Really cannot wait for unity 1.1 tho, this craft is only 430 parts and it took 40 minutes to perform a 14min burn... I took this screenshot but not directly into the glare of the sun otherwise everything becomes lost in it's glare. So far the Radiators are keeping things cool, even when the Nukes where pushing 66% thrust... Very close to Moho, and what a ride it was !

Red Iron Crown Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Rebuilt my frigate incorporating some feedback from here and the lessons learned the first go round, now has a curved deck and more realistic rigging. Still needs staysails and propulsion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarfster Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 My three Kerbal survey team was chilling at Mun : Central station before departure to the survey site. After the retro-burn to lower the periapsis to 25 km. Touchdown close to the equipment lander. Now the rover needs to be assembled. Enroute to find an ore site with more than 5% concentration.

My first few attempts at boatbuilding were a bit more entertaining than actually successful... -------- Launched the Horus XLN-2/Duna Exploration Complex on its shakedown cruise to a nearby Class E asteroid. Despite the KAS extra strutting added in an EVA, still had a few problems with flexing at initial boost, but it settled down when I reduced the thrust. Excelsior!

I got the same on mobile, I think it's images loading: page gets "longer" and so text goes down and you feel like going up. It eventually stops at some point, but I agree this is a little annoying on image-heavy thread such as this one.

I'm not much help there, this is my first real foray into boat building and it chases aesthetics rather than functionality (boat as shown capsizes immediately and even with sizable propulsion only does 13m/s or so).

SmashingKirby148 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have officialy concluded that KerbalKonstucts doesn't work on other planets (well, tbh I've only tested Laythe) What used to be Laythe's north pole turned into nothing but Water... Very. VERY buggy water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmashingKirby148 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Whats worse is Laythe stays like that even if I revert the flight and go to my Kerbal who was there to make that base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do interstages in stock, just place the fairing base below a narrower part and build it upwards, and it will usually connect and close with a wider part above. It is sometimes fiddly though.

Yes, stock fairings are very broken, as are procedural fairings and KW Rocketry fairings. The body lift vector is WAY off. But ... they can be fixed with Claws Stock Bug Fix Modules. Among many other issues it fixes the drag and body lift bugs AND lets you choose between clamshell and confetti fairings.

StockPlus just allows selection of the number of petals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
