How Many Flights Do You Have Running At The Moment?

[Vanamonde]

85. That includes at least one probe orbiting and one probe landed on every world (except a few that were eaten by glitches), 2 marooned missions I must eventually get around to rescuing, some flags, light fixtures at KSC, a couple of test rovers, a couple of exploring rovers, manned observation stations around Kerbin, Mun, Minmus, Eve, Gilly, Dres, Duna, and Ike, an orbital shipyard, a successful interplanetary ship, and an unsuccessful planetary ship serving as a fuel depot. And some other stuff. Oh, and my new Mun base, growing to replace the one I deleted when it got buried by 20.0.

Now I really feel how sandboxy I play KSP, because compared to most of you who have a such haystacks up there, I currently have no missions up, save for flags planted and "descent stages" (where appropriate) left on some body. I have this unfounded nagging feeling that the more stuff I have up there, the more unstable/unplayable my game might become (perhaps same fear in terms of adding mods or ultra-complex craft), which is why I IMMEDIATELY kill off debris, if there are any. So if I were going to have a mission, THAT is the mission of the moment--if I am forced to fly another mission (i.e. some challenge), I create a new "user" and do that mission there. Doesn't having something like 50+ craft mean that the persistence file must be huge? I'm so enjoying how smooth, stable, and crash-free my KSP is, that I don't want anything to marr that enjoyment at the moment.

In my current save, I just have a space station and two flags.

[Cipher29]

24 Total

-17 probes

-9 probes (4 orbiting, 5 landed) at other planets/moons (Moho, Eve, Mun, Minmus, Duna): I lost contact with the one orbiting Duna

-5 probes orbiting Kerbol (1 to Dres, 1 to Jool, 1 to Eeloo, 1 to low Kerbol orbit, 1 escaping from the solar system)

-3 Oribtal Refueling Stations (2 LKO, 1 Mun)

-2 rovers (1 landed at Moho, 1 going to Dres): I had 1 more but I lost contact to it on its way to Eeloo

-3 Stations (orbiting Kerbin, Mun, and Minmus): The one around Kerbin will be disassembled and sent to Duna soon. I had one more station that I recently deorbited around Kerbin for a new replacement.

-2 Bases (1 on Mun, 1 on Minmus)

Around 40. 55 if you include my testing save.

My oldest flights still running are my early Hyperion probes to Duna and Eve, along with the only remaining Cosmos probe, Cosmos VII, Landed on Minmus.

They are around 34-35 years old.

[Brotoro]

108. Many of those "flights" are markers and probes at my interplanetary landing locations (in case I want to check out the views around the Vallhenge or dead Kraken again). It went up a lot yesterday when I spread a bunch of ocean probes around Laythe.

Wow... age win for sure, if not total win.

[Stelith61]

Wow... age win for sure, if not total win.

Seeing as I'm a little bored; I'll list them in detail. Boring, excruciating, detail.

Kerbol:

Moho:

Eve: Hyperion II, Alaska II, VI. Perciei IV.

Gilly: Proteus I, Takumi I

Kerbin: Geostat II, Gladius Commsat, Sapphire Alpha. [Returned Capsules: Proteus II-M, Astro VII, VIII]

Mun: [Flags: Athenia Hills, Spartica Cliffs, Artemia Depression, Amymone Flats]

Minmus: Cosmos IV [Flags: Von Braun landing, Cochrane Cliffs, Zephram Hill]

Duna: Hyperion I, III, XI, X. Alaska I, VII. Perceiei II. Vanguard (Ion Plane). Ruby Station.

Ike: Takumi II, Proteus II, Perciei V

Dres: Hyperion VI, VIII. Alaska III, V. Perciei III.

Jool:

Laythe: Hyugens II

(On my laptop I also have a Rover on Vall, a Vall Lander, and a Tylo Orbiter)

Eeloo: Alaska IV

_{Welp, that's one way to burn 10 minutes.}

19, increasing slowly.

I'm sitting at over 80 flights at the moment (not including debris). I was up to over 200 when putting a couple of stations up in Eve and Duna orbit and satellite networks over Jool and Moho.

Next up is a station over Jool, positioning satellites over Eve and Eeloo and a mapping satellite over Laythe so will probably end up over 200 again

Kind of makes it hard to have stations or bases though. My persistence file is just over 2mb, granted that's a lot being as that it's just text, but I can't imagine the size of it being that much of a problem, so long as you have plenty of storage space. I generally don't have a problem with crashes except when it comes to high part counts and explosions on builds with high part counts but that I blame on playing on a 3+ year old laptop.

That being said it is admirable I think that you have so few missions running, I don't think I could do it.

OH and to add, (just in case), I don't think it loads every mission you have going into memory when you load a save file. Pretty sure it only loads the active flight and any flight with in about 2-3km if I remember reading correctly. Don't quote me on that though.

I have no missions running atm. This is because I thinking of doing something cool, then I just go and do it. No long term building, no nothing. I think once Career mode gets implemented I will have much more of an incentive to make things a bit more permanent.

[Mr. Entropy]

I really just got started, so I don't really have a lot going on, only 3 active flights.

One is a polar orbiting satellite in a 95km orbit, and two are basically Gemini clones (the tracking station counts that as one flight, apparently)I have docked together in a 100km orbit at a 45 degree inclination.

[Agent30632]

0.

Just 0

I haven't got any new designs yet...

[boolybooly]

And boolybooly, you probably brought the vehicle toward the base too fast or the base was extremely large.

I think more likely it was accompanied by and perhaps related to a change in terrain height which I know they have been tweaking between versions; a flag I planted right next to it was half buried but didnt explode while a free standing kerbal who had been outside on the other side of it waiting for his ride was properly placed on the terrain. The base was really just a big lander, not that large a construct really though the Kerbal in question was Jebediah Kerman so there is no knowing quite what he had been up to... though thinking about it there was some mention of the cupola having problems with spontaneous unplanned vessel disassembly.

[NASAFanboy]

Around 27. None are manned, and I still have to put my KerSAT plans into motion.

IDK why, but I cut out manned missions for this years budget.

[Merinsan]

I had about 80 in 0.19.

I had 6 stations orbiting Kerbin. 2 Orbiting the Mun, 1 around Minmus, Eve, Duna, Moho, Dres, Laythe. 3 Bases on the Mun (1 base had multiple ships), 2 on Minmus, 1 on Duna, Eve, Laythe.

Also had Rovers everywhere and lots of satellites providing "communications" for the surface. And Landers in other places, like Vall. Every time I tried to reduce it, I couldn't find anything that I wanted to delete.

Started a new save in 0.20, and am up to about 14 already, including 1 Mun Base (built from about 10 launches), with 2 more ships there, plus a buggy. Station around Duna, Mun, Kerbin and a few landers/ships in transits.

Forgot about flags. I've already got 3 planted on Mun, 1 on Minmus and 1 on Ike. The next one will either be Gilly or Duna. My intention is to get a flag on every planet/moon, plus 1 at every Easter egg (I guess magic boulder is not possible, but I am going to try it).

They are around 34-35 years old.

My longest running mission was 50 years in 0.19. Mainly because I like to launch missions and finish them sequentially. For example, getting to Jool I launch, escape Kerbin, time accelerate till I get an appropriate transfer window, then transfer. After getting it to Laythe, I send the next part, so it gets repeated! In 0.20 I'm trying to avoid that a bit, by sending multiple ships in the same window. Also makes it more interesting managing them all arriving at similar times.
