I think it might get tweaked when the devs get back from modding vacation. To be more specific, I had Jeb EVA into the capsule (I had yet to unlock mobility enhancers,) then realized that since that was the only hatch, the capsule only supported one Kerbal, and I wanted Jeb in the pilot's seat, I would need to get him back out and get the others in first so I could transfer them to the passenger compartment. So I got Jeb back out of the capsule, had him let go (a fall from that height on the Mun is harmless) and he brushed the landing leg on the way back down. *Crack!* goes the landing leg.

Red Iron Crown Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 More historical rockets in RO, this time Thor-Able: Getting much better at controlling apoapsis altitude with unthrottleable, non-restartable engines during the ascent, my initial orbits are getting less and less eccentic.

Itsdavyjones Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Had a problem with a plane that was statistically stable with far, and it went violently out of control under 1k alt after a quick save. As such, my career save is now deleted (darn permadeath...) since I lost my entire crew on that flight, since it was required for a contract to have a pilot, engineer, and scientist on that plane. Ah well, looks like it maybe time to get used to stock aero again, or maybe try a new download of far, still annoying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Spock Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I launched Sputnik 1 as part of my playthrough of Whitecat's awesome Historical Contracts mod, using Raidernick's equally awesome US Probes pack. Fittingly, it was my first orbit in my saved game -- on the first try, no less! I designed the spacecraft so that I could jettison everything except the Sputnik herself, but now I can't bring myself to separate the probe from the rest of the satellite, as it will lose the ability to maneuver etc. I should, cuz right now I have ugly clipping etc., but I can't bring myself to do it. At least not yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicidejunkie Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 After a staging incident previously, Valentina was left with only a munar ascent stage in LKO. Today, she traveled to mun, and began her descent towards the mining rig with the radiator panels it needed to operate. Pushing the limits, she brought the craft down only 20m/s short on dV and after a series of hard bounces leaving just 5 parts intact, the capsule rolled to a stop 350m downrange. With the help of Engineer Doburry, and the intact docking ports, the capsule has been moved to the top of the miner so she can get a lift back to orbit. She'll have to make an extended stay at the munar station while waiting for a shuttle bus, but the mission to deliver the radiators was successful despite the setbacks!

hazard-ish Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 I've finally finished up an SSTO design that I have been working on for a while now! This space-plane is really unique - it's a tilt-wing craft so the whole wing pivots around giving the craft VTOL capabilities! The tilt-mechanism is completely stock and if you watch the video, I show you exactly how to make one yourself! Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nosirrbro Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Sent out two probes onto their journeys to Jool and Eeloo, albeit the Eeloo probe failed, Took a trip to Duna And got a very good screenshot worthy of the honor of being my new desktop background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatbear Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 did some more expanding on my space station. I neglected to put a docking port on the top so I had to settle with putting my space donut on the side of it. Also got my first mun miner. turns out the poles are rockier than I thought.

Red Dwarf Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'm home from school after what seems like an eternity, and I had the chance to put together some ideas I had during the semester. This is one of them. It's six of the big jet engines and six Vectors on the bottom, with triple-stacked wings and a small payload bay. I had hoped it could be an SSTO, but it just doesn't have enough oomph. It can just about manage a suborbital hop, which makes it almost entirely useless for a career save, being both heavy and ridiculously expensive. I think this is one of those designs that probably could work if I spent enough time with it, but it really ain't worth the effort. Looks cool though.
