Draco T stand-up guy Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I built a new launcher Which carried my first ever lander into orbit Which I then landed upon Mun Which then rose upon the fires of the central pillar while dropping the now spent outer pillars (Yeah, no screen cap as was busy so you'll have to imagine) Which then safely returned Jebediah to Kerbin Whom I then accidentally killed by accidentally hitting the space bar too soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problemecium Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 While I was waiting for Kidonia's correction burn, the transfer windows for both Duna and Eeloo came up. This is me deorbiting the launch stage for my Eeloo mothership, which while very large is much more conservative than Kidonia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellblazer Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Not to sure if I will get in trouble here or not... Made a quick tutorial on how to add logos, change colors, text ect. fast and easy to parts. Use at own risk (just back up files first) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev7787 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I made a shuttle in RSS with procedural parts, tweak scale and Real Scale Boosters. Had to play on 50% reenter heating though. Need to edit configs soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxwellsDemon Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I finally learned how to do action groups properly. I'd been relying purely on the sequential staging thus far. It was always on the "to-learn" list, but I actually got around to it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things will not only becoming more easy, new concepts like SSTO spaceplanes and other complex vehicles are now within reach.

marcello639 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 After ~500h finally started to try some SSTO (had some failures before). Managed to bring orange tank to space station. Then slightly modified SSTO tried to bring satellite in orbit in middle of ascent realised that staging was wrong and satellite are loose in cargo bay. Instead or retry I continued, got it successfully in orbit. On reentry due eating SSTO nose cone, front tank exploded. Plane flipped and flew backwards and.... I landed it vertically on engine.... Quite crazy SSTO beginner experience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiser82 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) This is Kerrica Kerman, she is dead. I was trying to put a new solar array on my station orbiting the mun, but douched it up so badly that i ran out of RCS fuel. with only the reliant left, and the array drifting and misaligned, i decided to just crash the S.O.B. for causing me such aggravation. immediately after the "Z" button, i realized Kerrica was still onboard. I looked back to the station, still within reach, so she EVA'd...right into the stabilizer. the craft and the poor kerbal move slowly toward the collision, as i watch sadly. as i'm looking around feeling terrible, I notice her expression has changed. huh? "R" shes alive?! I guess she just got knocked silly by the wing, and came back to her senses. I blasted the RCS and JUST barely missed the surface at 8.5k. and then a node maneuver with the remaining jetpack fuel. and so, a kerbal is saved from certain death. question, are kerbals always alive if they havent been vaporized?

SSgt Baloo Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I landed four probes on Duna (so I could see if there was a good place to land there) and then landed a Kerballed mission near each one of them to plant a flag. Bonus image: one of the less successful attempts to model the Planet Express ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_G Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Just clicked this super small spacestation together... roughly inspired by Skylab... It holds 2 Kerbals, carries a lot of science instruments and is fully modular. Sadly the de-orbit module only holds 1 Kerbal... well you cant have everything...

Yes. If they don't go poof, they are alive. You might be surprised what they can survive, just try to land on the head.

msasterisk Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) I'm committed to the Kasteria missions now. Duna, I'm coming for you! The design for the rocket seems functional. It has solar power, fuel, a convert-o-tron, nuclear propulsion, batteries, a little RCS, and a detachable lander (Apollo style). The first mission will simply get three Kerbals to Duna and back, along with mountains of science. The next will involve rovers and a more thorough exploration of the planet. The third will concentrate on Ike, as will the fourth (yes, I have the funding to do this). The fifth, finally, will establish a permanent presence on Duna, and possibly Ike. Jeb, Bill, and Bob will command Kasteria-A. That's the plan. The convert-o-tron could be useful for exploring both Ike and Duna on the third mission, but it's mainly for the return trip.

Krullarikas Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Flew a plane around and deliberately tried to smash it into everything I could. You know, the usual thing everybody does in KSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendrack Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Work on the KSS continues. Docking port with inline clamp-o-tron added. Service module and senior docking port added for deep space mission compatibility. Bob Kerman broke the only plasma tv and went crazy, unscheduled crew transfer with Soyuz-TMA.

Butterbar Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) The United Provincial Space Vehicle Columbia enters into orbit around Duna, completing the goal set by the President of "Kerbals to Duna by 1987". After performing experiments and releasing probes for a week, the crew will perform a flyby of Eve before returning to Kerbin as heroes, while the Columbia will remain in orbit for refueling and restocking before making it's second mission to Moho Dres. The Columbia, a refitted Syracuse-class ion ferry, holds a crew of three and proved herself in a shakedown cruise to Minmus. Her class of ion ferries are the main lifeline between Kerbin and the colonies on her moons, with passenger (UPSV Syracuse, UPSV Dawn), exploration (UPSV Columbia, UPSV Kenorland), and freighter (UPSV Horizon) variants operating in the Kerbin system on a regular basis.

It doesn't work very well on my computer too. I run KSP on a Macbook, and at this point, it's already pushing the limits graphics-wise, and glitches and FPS slowdowns occur pretty often. Some of the more noted ones is Scatterer rendering the oceans of Kerbin to be a pinkish red and the entire planetary texture of Moho failing to load, making the entire planet completely white. Or KSP, instead of having the decency to crash itself, crashing my entire computer with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
