Got inspiration form Mulbin to build nice rockets too: Put together in 2 days with a lot of trial (killing Kerbals) and error (moaar Kerbals) I will put nice images up tomorrow.. instead of these ****ty 'screen shots'

Once it was finished I managed to get 3 Kerbals, and 4 of the 760 parts back from the Mun on the second try:cool:

....*not very good 'screen shots

[Neotician]

Very nice looking

Tip for ya:

F1 takes screenshots ingame, saves em in the game folder.

F2 hides the UI.

[WooDzor]

I know, but I don't have the screen shots with me now. Just the stuff I send to a friend with whatsapp last night :-$

@Neotican And thanks 8-) First time I share something on the Forum, been playing this game for 2 months, completely hooked.

The middle one has a nice patina-like an old photo.

Nice ship!... and I like the flag

I actually quite like the screenshots... they look like lunar video images!

[WooDzor]

@mulbin: it's the obvious thing to do isn't it? ;-) though i went for a Saturn like planet instead of a star; I hope we get a Saturn like planet in the next update. Imagine orbiting just above the rings :-o

Some extra images from last nights mission to the Mun:

Apollo 16; John Young's jump salute.

The rocket looks great Wood!

Even more cool is the video you send me via WhatsApp:

Keep up the good work!

That would be incredible. I wonder how the rings would be rendered though; if we could get all of the detail once you get close, or if there would be the real hazard of trying to get through the rings without hitting any of the many tiny pieces that make up the rings.

That's quite a nice looking lander too.

[ixolate industries]

for the rings maybe have it like the terrain scatters with a few larger pieces among the small rocks.

Then for longer distances just some kind of flat image.

Also how were you able to fit the rover in that lander mine always end up stuck on the outside.

[WooDzor]

@ixolate. With the wheels on 90 degrees the rover just popped out. When I put the wheels on an angle for extra stability during eh well .. roving.. it got stuck. Solution: I just put the whole lander on a slight angle until it worked properly. I'll upload the *.craft file tomorrow if you want.

The whole thing still needs a bit of fine tuning, but at the same time something went wrong/didn't work during all Apollo missions X-)
